FRIDAY:
Before You Were Here
Intergalactic Doritos
On June 12, scientists from a Brit-
ish university will transmita Doritos
commercial to 47 Ursae Majoris in the
hopes of contacting possible inhabit-
ants of the star system, The Chron-
icle of Higher Education reported.
The scientists from the University of
Leicester are hoping it will promote
more public interest in science.
Anthony van Eyken, director of the
station, defended the project.
"It's not impossible that it could
work," he said. "We are taking itseri-
ously."
COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE
Faculty members at a Canadian uni-
versity are voicing concerns over the
university's e-mail system, which has
recently been outsourced to Google,
The Chronicle reported.
The faculty of Lakehead University
filed a grievance because they fear that
outsourcing e-mail to an American
company will allow American intelli-
gence agencies like the FBI or the CIA
to monitor their correspondence.

AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE
Dongguk University in South
Korea is suing Yale University for
$50 million for confirming one of its
professors was a Yale graduate and
then later saying it never did so, The
Associated Press reported.
Yale confirmed in 2005 that dis-
gracedarthistoryprofessorShinJeong-
ahhadreceived adoctorate degree from
Yale, only to deny the claim later.
On Dec. 29, Yale apologized, saying
it was an administrative error.
"Having spent almost six months
publicly denying any role in the Shin
matter and contending that Dongguk
University had never contacted Yale
University, Yale University's Dec. 29
statements did not undo the damage
suffered by Dongguk University," Engineering s
