EPP
Double Major Established With Computer Science
EPP has long
had double major undergraduate degree programs with all
five of Carnegie Mellon's traditional Engineering Departments.
Last spring a similar double major undergraduate program
was approved with the Department of Computer Science,
in Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science. Because
CS already had a "required minor," EPP Assistant Head
Scott Matthews and CS Associate Head Allen Fisher found
that combining the degree requirements of the two departments
was relatively easy.
This new degree
is one part of general strategy by EPP to expand its teaching
and research in the area of information technology. EPP
already has strong programs in telecommunication and data
networks. Several recent Ph.D. theses have addressed issues
such as privacy and security in electronic micro-payment
systems, issues of bundling and unbundling in electronic
publishing and the nature and time history of security
events on the internet. Active planning and faculty recruiting
activities to expand such efforts are now underway.

Stanford
Researcher Held in China
On January 6, 1998, Hua Di, a senior research associate
with the Center for International Security and Cooperation
at Stanford University, was arrested during a visit to
China to attend a family memorial service. Charges relate
to various allegations of leaking state secrets. Prof.
John Lewis of Stanford reports that Hua Di "went to China
with full assurances from the ministry of State Security
that he would be okay." Lewis explained that Hua was "one
of three people authorized at the highest levels in China
to give me material on the history of the strategic weapons
program." Because he has been working at Stanford on these
and other issues of regional security, and because he
had previously been employed in the Chinese missile industry,
Hua Di knew that returning to China might be problematic.
Accordingly, Lewis explained, "he went to Hong Kong in
September [1997] and was given a thorough clearance by
the Ministry of State Security." Hua's colleagues at Stanford
are not aware that any trial has yet occurred, nor have
they been able to learn if a trial date has been set.
Hua, who is suffering from cancer, has reportedly not
been allowed to see a doctor or his family since his arrest.

Mellon University does not discriminate and Carnegie Mellon
University is required not to discriminate in admission, employment,
or administration of its programs or activities on the basis
of race, color, national origin, sex or handicap in violation
of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the
Educational Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 or other federal, state, or local laws or executive
orders. In addition, Carnegie Mellon University
does not discriminate in admission, employment or administration
of its programs on the basis of religion, creed, ancestry,
belief, age, veteran status, sexual orientation or in violation
of federal, state, or local laws or executive orders. However,
in the judgment of the Carnegie Mellon Human Relations Commission,
the Department of Defense policy of, "Don't ask, don't tell,
don't pursue," excludes openly gay, lesbian and bisexual students
from receiving ROTC scholarships or serving in the military.
Nevertheless, all ROTC classes at Carnegie Mellon University
are available to all students. Inquiries concerning
application of these statements should be directed to the
Provost, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh,
PA 15213, telephone (412) 268-6684 or the Vice President for
