hate e-mail messages
College Press Service
OMAH^. —Creighton Uni
versity officials said a student’s ,
computer account was used to send
anti-Semitic and anti-gay e-mail
messages.
But the messages, sent to the
Jewish Student Union at the Uni
versity of Colorado at Boulder and
a weekly gay-oriented newspaper
called OutNOW!, weie apparently
sent without the student’s knowl
edge.
A university librarian noticed
five “skinheads” wearing military
style clothing in the campus li
brary on Jan. 7, the same day the
messages were sent. The library
staff searched the computers the
CORRECTION
The Arts & Entertain
ment session of the Jan. 9
issue of the West Georgian
incorrectly identified Phillip
DePoy as the "assistant di
rector of the Townsend Cen
ter for the Performing Arts"
and as the "choreographer"
of the Toy Shop, a produc
tion performed by the At
lanta Opera. DePoy is in
stead the artistic director of
the Townsend Center, as well
as the director of the Toy
Shop.
Ginger Poole is the as
sistant director of the
Townsend Center, and is the
assistant director and chore
ographer of the Toy Shop.
The West Georgian re
grets any confusion and
apologizes for the mistakes
made.

The Goldhagen vs. Browning Con
group used and found they had been
accessing Neo-Nazi and anti-
Semitic websites.
Part of a message to the Jewish
Student Union said, “What can you
expect of a former Nazi death camp
major’s grandchild.” Other mes
sages said, “I am a white racist and
proud of my pure lineage. I am com
ing for you!” and “Ever heard of
Auschwitz? Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil.”
The message to the newspaper
used anti-gay slurs, including the
word “fags.”
“The content of this was vio
lent anti-Semitic, hateful. . . and
threatening, to top it all off,” said
Jim Nolan, a Creighton spokesper
son. “It was totally at odds at what

we stand for here.”
The university contacted the
FBI and the local police about the
“skinheads,” who are not students
there. Officials also contacted the
student—who was back home for
holiday break and knew nothing
about the messages, Nolan said.
At Creighton, students use a
web browser to e-mail messages.
The student apparently forgot to
log out when he was finished, ac
cidentally leaving his account open
to whomever used the computer
next, Nolan said.
Even so, several security mea
sures still were bypassed. ‘They
were not unsophisticated about the
use of these computers,” he said.
