CNS struggles to protect computers from worms
BY ASHLEIGH EGAN
& CARLEIGH BROWER
Students wandered into the
Barone Campus Center over the
past week with dazed expres-sions.
Some struggled with bulky
computer towers, others carried
laptops. They lined up by the doz-ens
behind a makeshift computer
help station.
They were all there for the
same reason; two computer worms
named Welchia and MSBlast or
"Blaster" have repeatedly caused
substantial parts of the campus
network to be shut down.
"The problem started when
students all plugged into the
network simultaneously. Some
person or people had the virus,
and it spread from computer to
computer," said Jay Rozgonyi,
Macintosh Services/Network
Manager of Computing and Net-work
Services (CNS).

Two years later, students remember 9/11 attacks
BY JESSICA HOLMBERG
Two years ago today, the
United States was shocked by
the worst acts of terrorism in
American history.
On Sept. 11, 2001 when two
airline jets flew into the World
Trade Center, over 3,000 civilians,
health care providers, firemen, and
policemen lost their lives.
Attacks on The Pentagon
and in Somerset, Penn-sylvania
also shook the
nation to the core.
This week, the
Fairfieid University community
prayed for the victims and for a
brighter future.

our prayers are to remem-ber
the lost, but twenty percent is

NCAA INVESTIGATION
Witness
tampering
alleged
BY KEITH WHAMOND
& MIKE PIGNATARO
The investigation into the
Fairfieid University men's basket-ball
program by one of the premiere
NCAA law firms
in the nation con-tinued
as students
filed in for classes
last week.
But that in-vestigation,
which
commenced Au-gust
6, took a new
turn this Sunday
when a report in
the Connecticut
Post alleged wit-ness
tampering on
behalf of former
University of Ne-vada-
Las Vegas
coach Bill Bayno.
Darren Phil-lip,
a former
member of the
Fairfieid basket-ball
team from
1996-2000, told
the Post that Bay-no,
who is friends with Fairfieid
coach Tim O'Toole, attempted to
persuade Oscar Garcia into chang-ing
his story of the improprieties of
the school's basketball program.
The attorney heading the
investigation, Steve Morgan, is
"one of the most credible and
most experienced people around
today," according to Gene Doris,
the Fairfieid athletic director.
