OUS budget still awaiting
Kitzhaber’s approval
After a marathon final day that
lasted until dawn, the Oregon Leg
islature adjourned Saturday, but
Gov. John Kitzhaber has yet to
sign or veto the Oregon Universi
ty System budget that legislators
sent him last week. Once the
budget is signed, University ad
ministrators will begin to calcu
late how large fall term’s tuition
increase will be. The hike is sus
pected to be around 4 percent.
Secure Shell will replace
Telnet
Computer hackers may soon find
it much more difficult to invade the
privacy of University e-mail users.
As of January 2002, the e-mail
server Telnet will be replaced
with a program that prevents
third-party users — often referred
to as “hackers” or “crackers” —
from gaining access to University
accounts through intercepted e
mail messages.
With Telnet, Joseph St. Sauver,
the assistant director of academic
user services said, computing cen
ter monitors often detect hackers
“probing” the system, but he re
fused to comment on whether any
break-in attempts had been suc
cessful.
Replacing Telnet will be a pro
gram called Secure Shell (SSH).
Like Telnet, SSH allows users to log
in to the University e-mail server
from a remote location.
But unlike Telnet, messages sent
over SSH are encrypted, or “scram
bled,” so that they can’t be read by
another user while in transit.
Universities across the country
that use the Telnet system are now
switching to SSH, St. Sauver said.
Free SSH software is available at
the Microcomputer Support Center
in 151 Grayson Hall.
Users will know they need to in
stall the new software if they see a
warning alert appear at the top of
the login screen when they check
their e-mail.
St. Sauver added that those using
Telnet from a home computer can
find out whether hackers are trying
to access their accounts by in
stalling a monitoring program such
as ZoneAlarm.
The University’s Web-based e
mail programs will not be affected
by the change, as they are already
encrypted.

Man finds pipe bombs
in vacant house
Police evacuated City Hall Friday
morning after the city received an
unwelcome delivery: two pipe
bombs in a box.
The bombs were brought to the
front counter of the police station at
11 a.m. by a man who discovered
the devices in the closet of a vacant
house he was cleaning. The house
is at 1159 Mill St.
The city’s Explosive Disposal
Unit removed the bombs with a re
mote-controlled robot, transported
them out of city limits and detonat
ed them.
Police are investigating to learn
who made the bombs.
Police spokeswoman Pam Ale
jandre said people should call 911
when finding an object believed to
be a bomb.
“We do make house calls at times
like that,” she said.
Multiple Sclerosis Society
to offer yoga class
The Oregon chapter of the Na
tional Multiple Sclerosis Society
will begin holding a “Gentle
Yoga” class for people with multi
ple sclerosis on Wednesday. The
class will be held at the Hilyard
Community Center, 2580 Hilyard
St., and will run every Wednesday
from 10 a.m. to noon until Sept.
19. Times may change.
Yoga “enhances quality of life so
much,” said Kent Wiles, a society
chapter service coordinator. “It
helps with fatigue, concentration ...
you just feel better all around. Any
body who can breathe can do yoga.
It doesn’t matter if you’re full time
in a wheelchair.”
The class costs $30, though the
society offers need-based scholar
ships, and pre-registration is re
quired. To register or for more infor
mation, call (800) 344-4867.
EWEBto hold public
hearing tonight
The Eugene Water & Electric
Board of Commissioners will hold
a public hearing on a new citywide
telecommunications plan today at
6:30 p.m. in the McNutt Room at
the Eugene City Hall.
The plan includes development
of a network of high-speed fiber op
tics to core areas of the city with a
system expansion in six years. Eu
gene voters granted EWEB authori
ty to provide telecommunications
and associated services in the May
2000 election.
Summer school
continued from page 1
While the sessions are shorter
than the regular academic term,
longer classes and more frequent
class meetings make up for the loss
of time.
“The work is condensed into a
shorter amount of time,” he said.
“But the same material is cov
ered.”
The average undergraduate takes
nine credits during the summer
session, he said, and many work or
travel in addition to going to
school.
Students attending summer
classes have their own reasons for
choosing to spend their summer at
the University.
With fewer distractions around
campus, senior Faris Matin said he
finds it easier to concentrate on the
classes he is taking.
“I feel more focused as a student
during the summer because there’s
nothing to do,” he said.
For Matin, the decision to attend
summer classes was not so much a
choice as a necessity — in order
for his parents to pay his tuition
bill, he said, he agreed to graduate
within four years.
A timely graduation was also a
motivating factor for summer ses
sion student David Fewell. Fewell,
a senior, added that after attending
school last year, it seemed natural
to keep taking classes during the
summer.
“A body that’s in motion tends
to stay in motion,” he said. “I was
just in the academic groove.”
The summer is a good time to
earn credits quickly, junior Megan
Rafferty said. Rafferty, who took
two years off from school, said she
enrolled in the summer session
last year as well as this year in or
der to make up for the time she

lost.
Summer classes “are good be
cause you get a lot done in a short
amount of time,” she said.
The campus itself has some ad
vantages during the summer, sen
ior Philip Fortunato said.
With less people around, he
said, the school feels more laid
back and more like a small college

He added that, based on person
al observations, he has also no
ticed a shift in the gender ratio
among students.
“There’s a lot more girls on cam
pus,” he said.
And when the weather is nice,
he said, he is actually more in
r
dined to go to class.
But the sunshine outside can
also make it hard to be inside
studying, said senior Kevin Cram
as he stood on the steps of the
Knight Library yesterday after
noon.
“It sucks sitting in the library on
a day like this,” he said “That’s for
sure.”
