WSU database theft called "prank" WINONA, Minn., Jan. 30, 2002 -- The administrator in charge of Winona State University dorms, John Ferden, said he believes the Lourdes dorm directory, which contained every tenants' Social Security number, was taken as a prank. In explaining what happened to the Student Senate, Ferden said there was no evidence that the book had been tampered with or photocopied. He offered no details about who took the book or how it was recovered. An investigation is under way, he said. Ferden said the directory, in an 8-1/2 by 11-inch binder, has been shredded. He also said that dorm guards now are asking for student Warrior identification cards instead of Social Security numbers at front-desk security checkpoints. The university's vice president for student affairs, Calvin Winbush, told senators that student data are being shifted to laptops -- no more unsecured binders.

Censorship at Lourdes: Poster yanked WINONA, Minn., Jan. 30, 2002 -- Two Lourdes dorm supervisors at Winona State University fueled student anger by ripping down a poster that pointedly criticized them for not leveling with them about the theft of a roster with sensitive personal information about 560 tenants. One tenant used the term "floor Nazis" for resident assistants, as the supervisors are known. The supervisors learned Saturday that a roster with Social Security numbers was stolen from the dorm's security checkpoint the night before. As the dorm grapevine leaked news about the theft, the supervisors refused even to acknowledge what had happened. Background: Supervisors clam up; students seethe Background: ID suddenly required
