  Fearing a Serial Killer, Louisiana State Campus Halts Public
  Access to an Online Directory

  By DAN CARNEVALE
  
   
  
  Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge has removed
  directory listings from its Web site out of fear that the
  killer of five women in the area might use information from
  the listings to attack someone on the campus.
  
  Student, faculty, and staff directory information -- including
  names, phone numbers, home addresses, and e-mail addresses --
  can now only be sought online if a person has password access
  to the university's Intranet.
  
  LSU officials pulled the plug on the public online directory
  last week to protect campus residents from a serial killer who
  police say has murdered five women since September 2001 --
  including an LSU doctoral student last month.
  
  Four of the five women were living in Baton Rouge. The other
  victim lived in Lafayette, La. None were living on the LSU
  campus.
  
  Gene C. Sands, executive director of university relations at
  LSU, says he didn't know if the change would be permanent or
  whether the information would be made public again once the
  killer is caught.
  
  "These are actions that clearly wouldn't have been taken a
  couple years ago," Mr. Sands says. "It's just one more step
  you take."
  
  The university is also stepping up patrols by the LSU police
  and implementing plans to add more emergency telephones and
  surveillance cameras on the campus.
  
  Barmak Nassirian, associate executive director of external
  relations for the American Association of Collegiate
  Registrars and Admissions Officers, says it's "reasonably
  common" for institutions to have directory information
  publicly available on the Web. But some institutions have been
  known to keep the information password protected or to provide
  students' e-mail addresses only, he says.
  
  Students at LSU have always had the option of removing their
  information from the public directory, but they had to opt out
  themselves. LSU officials are considering whether to let
  students decide to make their information public again.
  Students are still able to choose to remove their information
  from the password-protected directory.
