By switching to the new "92 | numbers," Western was able to stop using social security numbers and create 4 university-wide system of numbers for identification. This change prevented the social security numbers of students from being used without their consent, therefore enhancing their security on campus. WCU also switched to a new Banner system this school year, which provides services such as reporting capability, finances, human resources, accounting, administration, and budgets. The implementation of this Banner system made it easy to assign new ID numbers because the system required new numbers anyway. Thanks to Banner, the new system and the new ID fumbers appeared at the same time, | Big brother is not watching you By Zach McKeown + WCnewsmagazine ity made two changes to Inge was a new system for istribution of new Cat Cards, formation of students and to rity with identification and the numerous existing iow with Mr. Jeff Bewsey from the Department of tly conducted to lear more about the new Cat {tis @ well-known rumor among Wester students that the IT department | has the technology and initiative to track your every action while logged on to the campus network. Many people consider this to be a violation of their personal Privacy. Fortunately, the truth is much less paranoia-inducing {n reality, the Information Technology Department is not monitoring your online actions, not even the most scandalous ones. The only precaution taken by IT is in the form of a device known as a Packetshaper. Every Intemet connection on campus is run through the Packetshaper, which, through an entirely automated process, determines what kind of activity a particular connection is attempting, such as gaming, surfing the internet, or simply checking your mail, then determines whether or not to limit a | user's access based on this information. The Packetshaper does not, however, | determine the exact details of an activity, regardless of its general type. This may seem like good news to would-be music, movies, or software pirates, but there are still numerous precautions in place tolimitillegal downloads. | Traffic from popular programs that are used for downloading, such as Kazaa, Limewire, or Bittorrent are all severely limited by the Packetshaper, making | downloading a nearly impossible endeavor. | Even though downloading is not being tracked specifically, and is theoretically still possible over Western's network, itis stil an extremely risky | Practice: Campus security may not be knocking down anyone's doors, but Organizations such as the RIAA or MPAA are still out there and are more than willing to track down Internet thieves, regardless of how insignificant the crime. | The best advice for individuals interested in downloading illegally is imply this: don't do it. Should you be caught, however, it's important to know that even as WesternCarolinian PRIVACY: ARE THEY WATCHING YOU? id ID numbers strengthen security at Western The new Cat Cards can now be used to enter dormitories in addition to the keys that have been used in the past. The Department of Residential Living provided a new security system that made this process possible. The new cards have antennas and radio frequencies that allow students to pass them in front of sensors to unlock doors to their dorms. The cards are specific to students dorms, so they will only open the doors to the dorm in which a Student lives. In the future, the Cat Cards may also be used to unlock doors to other locations on campus such as computer labs, The new cards provide greater security because they record when Students enter the dorms. This occurs to ensure that the students who live In a given dorm are the ones entering by using their Cat Cards. In the future, the Banner system will also be able to match students faces to photos in the system if the students need access to the dorms but do not have their Cat Cards. By implementing the use of new Cat Cards and new identification numbers, Western Carolina University has enhanced its security measures to protect its students, faculty, and staff. The changes that have taken place are beneficial ones because they keep students safe and they modernize the Campus's systems of entering dorms and identifying students. With the new Cat Cards and identification numbers, WCU is looking out for its student population, 4nd it will continue to do so in the days to come a student, you have rights. Any accusations that the school may receive are alleged. Wester follows a strict policy of standing by their students. Everyone is always innocent until proven guilty Should Western receive a cease and desist order from a company, such as the RIAA, Western will set about tracking down the specific individual in question, and will remove Internet privileges from that person. It is important to note, however, that that individual may stil access the Intemet for research Purposes through the library or any other places on campus. Onoe the individual has been tracked down, a meeting will be set up between themselves and the Resident Director in charge of their particular dorm. During the meeting, a student will be given the opportunity to settle the issue through a mutual agreement between the school and themselves, the details of which may be found in the Student Handbooks on page 114. Consequences vary greatly, depending on the severity of the infraction, but it should be made very clear that Wester is not interested in tossing a student to the legal wolves at the first sign of trouble. Even in the face of possible charges, itis important that the student learn something from the experience. Internet privacy is a very controversial topic, not just here at Western, but for people all over the world. There are many myths and rumors that have made their way into mainstream belief. Fortunately, many of them turn out to be false, but it is still important to adequately protect yourself, even in the virtual world, {f the campus security precautions don't fulfil your need for online privacy, the IT department provides brand name anti-virus and firewall software, which can be picked up for free at their offices, located in the Forsyth building, fom B-32.
