The admissions folks at my public university report that they regularly see prospective student email addresses like beerbashbabe@___ . And the parents know — in some cases it’s Mom or Dad who writes the email address on the form at the open house. --drj50

Ohio U. Says P2P Ban Works

Since Ohio University enacted a partial ban on peer-to-peer network traffic a week ago, 200 students have had their Internet connections temporarily disconnected, Brice Bible, the university's chief information officer, said today. He said the university has been careful to monitor network activity so that students engaged in legal file-sharing can still do so. But, he said, all of the peer-to-peer traffic he has seen has been illegal. The policy seems to be working, Mr. Bible added, since the number of students trading music files online has been steadily declining.--Andrea L. Foster
