Security breach creates need for extra precaution
Many Purdue students, faculty, staff, alumni and business affilliates’ personal information has been jeopardized over the past year due to security breaches within Purdue’s computer system. According to CBSnews.com, criminals use this personal information to steal someone’s identity every 79 seconds.
Back in October 2004, unauthorized users stole an unknown number of students’ passwords. ITAP believed it was only passwords (and not personal information) that were stolen. On January 27, the College of Liberal Arts’ Theatre Division was also tapped into by hackers. This time, the University couldn’t be sure whether hackers were able to gain clearance to students’ personal information.

Kirsch ready to prove QB ability
Purdue's new No. 1 signal caller spent the last two springs trying to be a reliable backup to a well-respected starter.
This spring, the starting quarterback job is Brandon Kirsch’s to take.
With the departure of Kyle Orton, the junior enters spring as the favorite to earn the starting spot under center for the Boilermakers.
"It's a different approach," Kirsch said. "Last year I knew Orton was starter. This year, all odds are on me."
Kirsch played in six games, including two starts, in relief of Orton last season. He completed 61.7 percent of his passes and threw for 711 yards and seven touchdowns.
Kirsch’s two starts came against Iowa and Ohio State, when an injured hip flexor and what was determined to be a torn abdominal muscle sidelined Orton.
And that’s how much of Kirsch’s career has gone.
"He's been here for three years, and it’s kinda like it’s been a temporary thing whenever he's gone in there," coach Joe Tiller said.
When Orton couldn't play, Kirsch got his chance.

O.A.R. wants their audience to leave feeling high, said Marc Roberge, lead singer at last night’s near-full concert in the Elliott Hall of Music.
