A laptop computer containing 4,600 high school seniors' personal
information was stolen from the U.S. Army Cadet Command's headquarters
at Fort Monroe, an Army spokesman said.

A database on the computer, which had information about applicants for
the Army's four-year ROTC scholarship, included Social Security
numbers, birth dates, home addresses, phone numbers, parents' names and
mothers' maiden names.

The command has notified the students and their families about the
theft, and an investigation is under way.
