    NOT TRUE!! There is entomb which I know is available on Purdue computers.
 (Bruce -- your input is needed.) 

        but besides that -- some systems set up a directory which keeps removed
 files for a coupla days until they are deleted. Also, if your sysop takes 
 regular backups than you can get them from him. 

 it sucks to lose files -- believe me I've been there:
 a few words of caution -- never never ever
 rm -r .*                 from a sub dir of your home dir if you have a 
                          glob variable set which expands the * to . and .. !
