The Undergraduate Student Government alleged yesterday that the University released to representatives of Apple Computers a list including the names and social security numbers of all 67,000 students enrolled state-wide in the Penn State system.

The release constitutes a violation of 1974's federal privacy act, said USG legal adviser Steven Roy. The privacy act prevents the release of any identification-related data without consent of the identified parties.

University officials denied the accusations, saying they are "ridiculous" and "completely unfounded."

Douglas Lamb (sophomore-forestry science) said at a news conference he has a computer disk which contains a copy of the list, which he said he obtained from an Apple employee earlier this year. Lamb claimed the University released the information to Apple during last spring's "Mac Break '88," a promotion in which the company awarded a computer to a student whose name was selected in a random drawing.

Lamb, who works for the Center for Academic Computing, said the University furnished a list of all University students free of charge so Apple could verify the name of the winner.

University spokeswoman Vicky Fong said the University mass-mailed flyers to students advertising the promotion, but charged Apple for that cost. Fong said of the allegations, "I don't know why (Apple) would need that many students' names."

Paul Peworchik, acting director of the Center for Academic Computing, said the University verified the winner using its own records and as a policy does not release students' personal data to outside organizations.
