Memorial
      Break-In
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Recently,
      a
      break-in
      occurred
      in
      the
      computer
      lab
      and
     
     
      some
      classrooms
      in
      Memorial.
      The
      vandal(s)
      sprayed
     
     
      a
      fire
      extinguisher
      containing
      water
      into
      all
      of
      the
     
     
      computer
      terminals
      and
      keyboards.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      repairs
      took
      two
      people
      most
      of
      the
      week
      to
     
     
      complete.
      All
      of
      the
      terminals
      had
      to
      be
      dried
      out.
     
     
      There
      was
      some
      damage
      to
      electrical
      contacts
      inside
     
     
      the
      computers
      because
      of
      some
      rust
      in
      the
      water.
     
     
      Rusty
      water
      is
      not
      good
      for
      electrical
      equipment.
      It
     
     
      caused
      some
      corrosion,
      which
      has
      been
      cleaned
      and
     
     
      arrested
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Any
      moisture
      left
      inside
      the
      machines
      could
      have
     
     
      caused
      considerable
      damage
      and
      it
      is
      still
      possible
     
     
      that
      this
      event
      will
      result
      in
      other
      problems
      down
      the
     
     
      road.
      For
      now,
      however,
      everything
      that
      can
      be
      done
     
     
      has
      been
      done
      and
      all
      of
      the
      terminals
      are
      operational.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      major
      problems
      caused
      by
      the
      break-in
      had
      to
      do
     
     
      with
      the
      unavailability
      of
      the
      terminals
      to
      the
      stu-
     
     
      dents.
      While
      the
      repairs
      were
      going
      on,
      students
     
     
      were
      delayed
      from
      doing
      assignments.
      This
      vandal-
     
     
      ism
      was
      not
      nearly
      as
      costly
      in
      dollars
      as
      the
      attack
     
     
      against
      the
      photo-copiers
      in
      Main
      last
      year,
      but
      it
      did
     
    
   
   
    
     
      cost
      the
      university
      an
      estimated
      $600-$700
      in
      time
     
     
      and
      effort.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Mr.
      Hancock,
      the
      director
      of
      Computer
      services
      said
     
     
      that
      he
      feels
      that
      in
      general
      U.P.E.I.
      students
      are
      best
     
     
      in
      North
      America
      for
      looking
      after
      equipment
      and
     
     
      that
      they
      have
      super
      over
      last
      19
      years
      with
      computer
     
     
      equipment.
      Since
      the
      students
      have
      been
      so
      consider-
     
     
      ate
      in
      this
      respect,
      Mr.
      Hancock
      said
      ‘‘Instead
      of
     
     
      replacing
      and
      repairing
      equipment
      the
      university
      is
     
     
      able
      to
      make
      more
      money
      available
      for
      students
      -
     
     
      that’s
      our
      real
      goal.
      Mr.
      Hancock
      also
      said
      that
      his
     
     
      first
      inclination
      was
      ‘‘not
      to
      blame
      students
      because
     
     
      they’ve
      been
      great
      over
      the
      years.
