Nanotechnology to Come to University of Texas

Tex — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 05:25:30 +0000

The University of Texas at Austin will be home to a new Nanotechnology center in the years ahead. A great campus just got a whole lot better.

Although the institute would be based at UT-Austin, it would be a creature of UT-Dallas and UT-Arlington as well, with some of its principal researchers based at those campuses, according to system records. Rice, Texas Tech and Texas A&M universities also will be invited to participate. Out-of-state participants could eventually include the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University, Pennsylvania State University and other schools.

University of Texas Computer System Hacked

Tex — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 17:02:55 +0000

If you are a Uuniversity of Texas student or faculty member then you should certainly pay more attention to your credit report and financial information in the coming months. A computer hacker has compromised the UT computer system and was able to obtain over 100,000 social security numbers and names.

A hacker compromised the business school computer system and obtained the names and Social Security numbers of 106,000 people, including all faculty and staff, most students and about half the alumni, a UT official said Monday. Dan Updegrove, the universitys vice president for information technology, said there have been no reports of identity theft but urged anyone who feared it had happened to register a fraud alert with a major credit agency. He said the universitys help desk is getting about 150 calls an hour, mostly from alumni, after announcing Sunday that nearly 200,000 electronic records at the McCombs School of Business had been illegally accessed. The school is working with federal, state and local investigators, but Updegrove declined to comment on specifics of the investigation. He said officials are still focusing on potential – more available

University of Texas Students Vote on Alcohol vs. Pot

Tex — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 21:55:14 +0000

Across the country, most schools view the use of alcohol and marijuana differently. The students of the the University of Texas have said otherwise. In a vote that took place this week, University of Texas students have voted (a nonbinding referendum) to equalize the penalties for alcohol and marijuana violations. I think President Bush is not going to be too proud of his hometown students.

Colleges in Texas is Live

Tex — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:48:28 +0000

Being one of the most popular destinations for college and university bound students in the United States, Texas deserves its own specialized college websites. And, we are proud to announce that Colleges in Texas is now live everyone! Yipppeee! But, seriously, now everyone has access to just about every school, university and college inside the state of Texas…and there are a lot. We have tried to break them down into some of the more popular segments, such as 2 and 4 year colleges, universities as well as many vocational segments like Barber, Medical and cosmetology schools. All of this comes at the low, low price of free. That is right, you can read the latest news and headlines for all of the schools, plus learn how to apply and hopefully in the near future, tips for each individual school. So, let us know what you think and what changes, if any, you think we should make.

12th Man All About A&M?

Tex — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 17:17:08 +0000

Apparently some people over at Texas A&M University have something to say to the Seattle Seahawks about their use of the “12th Man” concept. The Seahawks will be playing in the Superbowl this Sunday, in case you live in a cave, and have been using the 12th Man concept to represent the team that is not necessarily on the field…get it? WEll, it turns out the 12th Man was an Aggie and A&M Athletic Director Bill Byrne says the Office of Collegiate Licensing wants the Seahawks to stop using the number 12 on any merchandise. Funny thing is, they have been doing so for 22 years. Makes you wonder if there are more important things in the world. By the way, take all of those 12s off of your elevator buttons too.

Vince Young Goes Pro

Tex — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:18:26 +0000

It appears the allure of playing in the NFL, and a big fat contract, have attracted University of Texas quarterback, Vince Young. Young has decided to forgo his senior year at U of Texas and ender the NFL draft. It is hard to blame the 22 year old. It is easy to sit on the sidelines and say, “You should finish your education” when he is likely going to make more money as a signing bonus than 95% of the population will make in their lifetimes. It is a crazy world we live in, but I would like to say one thing. Hook ‘em horns!
