When Student Z received his phone bill later that month there were several Becky Wan '97 calls charged to his account that he had not made. The calls were made from the room belonging to Student A.

The letters in Student A's name corresponded exactly with the numbers of Student W: Lee Rawles '94 Sarah Hennigan '96 Z's PIN. Consequently, his voicemail password worked for dorm access and long distance calls. Manning Weir '94 When Student Z had his PIN changed, Student A could no longer access dorms or make long Kirsten Howard '95 distance phonecalls, and he then realized his mistake. He contacted the phone company for his Aimee Hamelin '95 correct PIN.

Ted Novicki '97 Becky Wan '97 DECISION: Not Guilty of Fraud (8-0) REASON: There was nothing to indicate that Student B's drinking was problematic; however, the Not Guilty of Theft (8-0) Board believed that he should be more aware of the situational consequences inherent in drinking. ~: W: The Board believed that Social Probation would serve as a sufficient reminder. Furthermore, Lee Rawles '94 Student 8 had previously been found guilty of nuisance to the community in a similar case.
