ROSE FESTIVAL
The Whetstone Park of Roses will hold the annual Rose Festival on
Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11. The festival includes viewing of
hundreds of varieties of roses, as well as music and animals from the
Columbus Zoo. The roses should be in bloom for several weeks after the
festival. To get to the park (which also includes tennis courts, soccer
and baseball fields, picnic areas, and a playground) go north on North
High Street from OSU. At the park entrance, turn left on Hollenback,
which is the 4th traffic light north of North Broadway. Go down the
hill to the lower area of the park where the gardens are located.
COMPUTER FRAUD
The OSU Office of Information Technology cautions the OSU community to
beware of the illegal e-mail scam known as "phishing" to avoid
becoming a victim of identity theft. Phishing happens every time you
receive an e-mail message that appears to be from a bank or other
business such as Ebay, Paypal, and the like, and the message urges you
to go to a Web site where confidential information such as your account
number and Social Security number is requested. Do not respond to the
e-mail, nor fill in any information on the Web site. Legitimate
businesses would never seek personal information in this manner. For
more information see
http://cio.osu.edu/communications/community/2006/phishing.html
