<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>accounts, officials from the Moscow Police Department said. The e-mail, purporting to be from UI President Tim </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>White, was a tongue-in-cheek response to White's Oct. 4 letter stating Intelligent Design will not be taught as science </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>at UI.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>While no crime has been committed, UI Information Technology Services officials said university policy was broken. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>"Certainly university policy has been broken, and we've talked to two people of interest," said Chuck Lanham, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>associate director of ITS. UI technicians concluded the e-mail was sent by an Adelphia IP address, and two students </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>thought responsible were questioned by ITS and members of administration.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The university determined the two students weren't involved, but their Internet connection, which broadcast an </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>unsecured wireless signal, had been used by another unknown person to send the e-mail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>UI Dean of Students Bruce Pitman said it is unfortunate the sender of the e-mail cannot be found and punished.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>"I think that if we were able to discover who did it, and if we were able to determine that it had occurred on campus, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>then the punishment would have been quite severe," he said.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Lanham said the problem of unsecured signals can be common in populated areas. "Anybody off the street can go sit </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>in the parking lot, log in to your network and send an e-mail from your connection," he said.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Because of the way the e-mail was sent, the university has given up on finding the individual. Lanham said new </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>policies are being written to prevent future violations on campus, but off-campus connections are impossible to </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT></o:p></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>"We're working on policy to prohibit something like this from happening on campus," Lanham said. "How people </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Pitman said the policy would guarantee harsh penalties for anyone sending fake correspondence from campus </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>connections. "The university judicial system has sanctioned that it could include suspension and expulsion," he said. "I </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>that outcome." <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> police said technicians concluded there was no evidence any UI computer system was </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>compromised or illegally used to send the e-mail, though how the individual got the 28,000 e-mail addresses is still </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>uncertain. Lanham said the university cannot track off-campus Internet activity, which leaves many questions </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>unanswered. "We can't dictate what people do or don't do in their residencies around <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>," Lanham said.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The only thing off-campus students can do to help, he said, is use an encryption for wireless signals so random people </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>negative consequences than it did, and it probably is an illustration of how changes in technology have perhaps </FONT></DIV>
