Ongoing Login Issues Cause Privacy Breach Canvas glitch allows unauthorized access to email accounts Nicolas Sonnenburg Associate Reporter
Last week, Google’s mailing services crashed for an unprecedented hour, and in an unrelated matter, an unsuspecting Hotmail user received thousands of blank emails from unaware Gmail users. In the meantime, Santa Clara students have been experiencing their own set of Gmail issues, login problems in particular. Students complain that entering their username and password into the university login page can give them access to a different student’s Gmail account. The incorrect email accounts appear to be those of past users of the same computer. Sophomore Trenton Nagasawa, who often uses his roommate’s computer to print class documents, often finds himself looking at the roommate’s email, despite entering his own login info. Other students have experienced this problem on shared school computers. “I’ve noticed the problem when I’m giving an in-class presentation or when See ACCOUNT, Page 3

Students have reported a common computer issue in which access to a previous user’s email account is granted when entering their own login information. Information Technology is attempting to correct the problem.
Alumnus Dies After Getting Hit By Train Former psychology major was trying to help Nick Ostiller
The Santa Clara It was the ultimate sacrifice: a man giving up his life to save someone else’s. Philip Scholz, a 2001 graduate of Santa Clara, died last Monday, Jan. 20 after being struck by a moving train at the Santa Clara Caltrain station across the street from campus. Surveillance footage at the station showed Scholz, 35, looking at an unidentified male who had wandered onto the tracks. The video then showed Scholz get on his stomach and reach for the stranger. The train, which was not sched-
uled to stop at the Santa Clara station, came barreling through at 5070 miles per hour around 5:30 p.m., according to Caltrain officials. “It ... appears Mr. Scholz was attempting to help the surviving victim, based on preliminary information,” Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn told the San Jose Mercury News. Scholz died on impact, while the surviving victim remains hospitalized and in critical condition, unable to speak with police, according to reports. Officials did not release Scholz’s name until this past Friday. Scholz was born in Seattle, Wash. and attended Shorewood High School in Shorewood, Wash. before moving to the Bay Area for college. It was at the Mission Campus where he met his eventual wife, Emily Scholz. While living in Graham Residence Hall during his freshman
year, Scholz was introduced by a mutual friend to Emily, who lived in the nearby Campisi Residence Hall. The two remained friends during their time at Santa Clara, but did not start dating until a year after they had both graduated, according to Emily Scholz. The couple was married in 2006 and had been living in Pleasanton, Calif. ever since. While at Santa Clara, Scholz majored in psychology and minored in business, but “was not a stellar student,” according to his wife. “He frequently reminded me, ‘Cs get degrees,’” said Emily Scholz in an email. But his grades were good enough to graduate and land a job with the local computer graphics company Nvidia. Scholz worked his way up the ranks to become the company’s
