University readies computers
for the turn of the century
Campus offices and organizations are
upgrading computers and
electronics in preparation for 2000
By Leanne Nelms
Associate Editor
“Access denied. Your password expired 100 years
ago.”
That’s a message no one wants to see flashing
across a computer screen shortly after the year 2000
arrives — especially the University, which is doing
its best to head off any local computing problems the
new millennium might present.
Because some programmers used two digits in
stead of four to represent years, many computers are
expected to misbehave at the turn of the century by
insisting it is 1900, not 2000. The problem, common
ly called “Y2K,” can heavily affect large databases
that are date-dependent, such as payroll or account
ing systems.
“The networking infrastructure, to the best of our
knowledge, is year-2000-compliant,” said Susan
Hilton of University Computing. Hilton is the cam
pus coordinator for the Oregon University System’s
Y2K committee, which coordinates repair efforts
and information-sharing among the state institutions.
The networking infrastructure Hilton referred to
includes the large campus servers, such as gladstone
and darkwing — used by thousands of students for
e-mail — as well as all the routers, hubs and wiring.
According to Hilton, the public computer labs
should also see few problems.
“I know they’ve been keeping everything updated
and installing patches for some of the software. Also,
the newer desktops are compliant. So, in general, the
risk is reduced,” Hilton said.
The computer system used extensively in Oregon
Hall, however, is receiving extensive attention to en
sure it is Y2K-compliant. According to Hilton, the
system, which uses software called “SCT BANNER,”
contains information associated with student
records, finance information and accounts receiv
able.

Frequently Asked Questions About the New Student Sexual Misconduct Code
1. Do you really need to get written consent
to have sex, under the new code?
No! The new code does call for “explicit
consent," which means "voluntary, non
coercive, and clear communication indicating a
willingness to engage in the particular act.”
Verbal consent must be obtained unless the
sexual act is clearly mutually initiated.The best
way to give and gain consent, whether the act
is mutually initiated or not, is very simple —
JUST ASK.
2. Is there going to be a permission police
that will barge into my bedroom?
No! Of course, the university won't create a
“permission police.”The new code isn’t a
regulatory measure, but will serve as a
guideline for determining whether sexual
misconduct has taken place in situations
where someone files a complaint.
In fact, these changes weren’t initiated by the
university.They were originally created by a
group of students after aTake Back the Night
March in spring 1995.The students felt that the
old code didn’t provide a safe environment for
survivors.
3. Can I have sex with someone who has
been drinking?
There is not a yes or no to this question.
Studies indicate that alcohol is involved in 75
90 percent of all campus sexual assaults.The
conduct code states that, if a person is intoxi
cated, they are unable to give meaningful con
sent. Since the definition of intoxicated is
different for every person, initiating sex with
someone who has been drinking is risky.
4. Does the Student Conduct Code apply if
an assault happens off-campus?
Yes, with a few conditions. First, the perpe
trator must be a currently enrolled student at
the university. In addition, the survivor’s grades
or performance at the university has to have
been adversely affected or the perpetrator
must pose a threat to the campus community.
The new code extends jurisdiction off campus
to reflect the reality of students’ lives. Eighty
percent of students live off-campus in apart
ments, fraternities, sororities, or other housing.
Therefore, a majority of rapes occur off-campus
and this extension of jurisdiction reflects the
fact that it doesn't matter where rape happens
— rape is rape!
