| Legislation could prohibit use of Social Security numbers for student IDS | |||||||||||
| A bill in Congress could prevent universities from using a student’s Social Security number as an identification number. The Personal Information Privacy Act introduced last year by Rep. Jerry Kleczka (D-Wis.) would amend the Social Security Act to prohibit the commercial use of Social Security numbers without an owner’s written consent. The bill, now in the House Ways and Means Committee, would give institutions several years to comply. As currently written, the legislation applies only to public institutions, but revisions to include privately funded institutions are possible. |

| Iowa fraternities to ‘go dry’ | |||||||||||
| University of Iowa fraternities have decided to go dry this year. The Inter-Fraternity Council voted unanimously to ban the serving of alcoholic beverages at fraternity-sponsored parties held at chapter housing facilities. Effective Aug. 1, the new policy allows members who are over 21 years of age to possess and consume alcohol in their private rooms if minors are not present. Alcohol is allowed at off-campus locations, such as restaurants or bars. | |||||||||||
