White supremacist asks Northwestern for religious recognition

EVANSTON, Ill. - After the distribution of racist literature last week, the leader of The World Church of the Creator has taken another step to promote his views to Northwestern University students.

Matt Hale sent a letter Tuesday to university Chaplain Tim Stevens asking for permission to become an NU religious group.

"We would like to have the same status that every group has on campus," Hale said. "We are interested in our people everywhere and spreading our religious beliefs."

The university said it will treat Hale the same as any other person seeking religious recognition on campus.

"We are going to respond the way we would to any other religious group that asks for recognition, explaining the university procedures and policies," said Stevens, adding that he will send a letter responding to Hale's fax like he would to anyone else. "I am going to explain what the policies are and what he does is up to him."
