In an attempt to keep up with the rapidly evolving world of telecommunications, the federal government has updated an 11-year-old wiretapping law to extend to universities, libraries and other institutions that offer internet access.

Portland States network, which allows its users to connect within it or beyond it, falls under the jurisdiction of the broadened law. Under the law, the university will have to upgrade its network systems to make it easier to monitor internet and e-mail communications."

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
