   Another campus is admitting that student social security numbers may have
   been compromised in mass by a lost or stolen laptop computer. As many as
   37,000 current and former students at Oklahoma State University could be
   impacted.  The computer was used by employees conducting job placement
   seminars for students. The campus will reportedly move more quickly to the
   already planned migration from SSN to a unique 8-digit ID number.
