Memories of the Holocaust •
D
uring World War II, an estimated 14 to 16 million people died in death camps run by the Nazi SS. April 28 is Holocaust Remembrance Day, an opportunity to look back and evaluate where our society is now and where it's headed. One class of humanities students is already a step ahead on that. "The Age of Anguish and Crisis" taught by Dr. Siegfried Heit, associate professor of humanities and philosophy, focuses on 19th and 20th centuries humanities. One of the required readings is Schindler's List by Thomas Kenally, which received numerous awards when produced as a motion picture in 1994. The class discussed how technology is usually perceived as a positive with medical advances and improved living conditions. But technology can also have a darker side. "There's more efficiency in destroying people," Heit said. Heit points out that "holocausts" are not a uniquely German thing. Membership in the Nazi party was open to non-Germans and the SS was composed of Dutch, Belgium, French, Poles, Romanians and Bosnian Muslims. "Anti-semitism was ripe and rampant in all of Europe," Heit said. Reasons for that stemmed from misinterpretation of the Bible, pointing to Jews as the ones responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus and the traditional vocations of Jews. In Europe until the 19th century, Jews were not allowed to own land, serve in the military, study at universities or enter a trade guild. The areas left open to them were commerce and business. "If you owe someone money and you can't pay them," Heit said, "then you want to get rid of them." But the genocide was not supported by everyone. After the war, some Germans were shocked when they found out how inhumane the Nazis had been. Initial occupants of the concentration camp at Dachau were members of the clergy, military and writers who opposed Hitler's ideals, Heit said. A message forged in iron on the gates of Dachau reads "Work will set you free." Originally, the Nazis called camps like Dachau re-education camps and if occupants worked at changing their beliefs, they would be set free, Heit said. Later in the war, Dachau became a death camp like Auschwitz, where freedom from the camp was linked to freedom from life. It was not only Jews who were sent to the death camps, but also Jehovah's Witnesses, Free Masons, pastors and priests who spoke out against Hitler, as well as Gypsies and homosexuals, Heit said. After the war, Germany accepted responsibility in the name of the German people for the atrocities that took place during the war and began atonement for those acts. "Man's inhumanity to man is continuing...we need to be aware of the Holocaust. We need to read about it and study about it. Then maybe we'll think twice before we commit another inhumanity," said Heit. fitio. 1 6.• •

Don't let history repeat itself chindler's List brought the atrocities of World War II out of the closet. Seen by millions, the movie increased awareness of the Holocaust, but it's the wrong kind of remembering. The movie leaves the audience relieved: there's a Schindler to save us from those who would destroy because of differences. This positive ending may make us forget the horror of the Holocaust. The word itself means to burn whole — the method used by the Nazis to efficiently eliminate people they deemed inferior. An estimated 14 to 16 million people were murdered in the death camps run by the Nazi SS. These were not people who were convicted of a crime, but were sentenced to die because of their religious heritage, sexual preference, intelligence quotient or ideological views. The capability to commit atrocities is not uniquely German. The persecutors of the Holocaust weren't genetically predisposed to inhumanity. They were no different than we are today. All over the world and right here in America, people are destroying others because of differences — be they racial, religious or ideological. Whether it's blowing up a federal building because you disagree with the government or beating a suspect based on his race, it all stems from intolerance. Each of us has that darker side — the ability to commit unspeakable acts. We'd all like to identify with Schindler, a man with the courage to do what was right. But the truth is, far more people didn't have that courage. The Holocaust wouldn't have happened if they did. In the end, it was easier to go along with the masses than to stand up for their beliefs. To keep history from repeating itself, we have to remember what happened. We can't allow a coating of goodness to overshadow the most inhumane sequence of events of this century. On

Student challenges claim of biblical inconsistencies I
am curious to know whether or not Jim Senyszyn checks sources before quoting them. W. M. L. deWette suggests that the law given to Moses appears unknown in Judges, Samuel and most of Kings. Let's consider this: In Judges, there are at least seven verses in a total of six chapters stating that the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. In Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, there is a total of at least 24 verses which state that either the priests or kings of Israel were doing evil. Now, if Israel is doing evil, would they be concerned with the laws of God? Now, in relation to the "entirely new departure in the religious life of Israel," (II Kings 22:8-13, KJV), take a look at all of the evil that was mentioned before. With the discovery of the book of the law, God opened their eyes to the evil they were doing. This discovery showed
them how to live their lives. Jim stated that "Joseph commanded the keeping of Passover (II Kings 23: 21) which hitherto had not been observed." However, II Kings 23:21-23 (KJV) states that "surely there was not holden such a Passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this Passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem." (V. 22-23). Notice that it said "such," not that there had not been a Passover held before. He claims that Jeremiah "deemed the law book of little account" and gives Jeremiah 7: 22 as a reference. If you notice the end of verse 22, there is a colon, not a period. Everyone knows that a colon does not signify the end of a sentence. Read verse 23. If you notice, in
verse 22, God said he didn't give them the law "in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt," and verse 23 states what God did tell them when he delivered them from Egypt. See Exodus 15: 26 and note that they left Egypt at the END of Chapter 14. The 10 commandments were not given until AT LEAST three months later (Exodus 19:1)! Deuteronomy 31:24 states that Moses ended writing the book, and commanded (in verses 2526) that it be put in the ark of the covenant. There are no inconsistencies in the Bible. There are parables, proverbs, psalms, paradoxes and mysteries, and many require much studying to understand. May God bless you all. —Brad Wynn UCO student

Deciding vote to be cast on higher education funds By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
The monetary future of higher education will be decided in the next few weeks at the state capitol. State Representative Laura Boyd emphasized that higher education funding issues are going into committee in both the house and senate this week. She spoke to professors at the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) state conference Saturday morning at the Edmond Ramada. Higher education funding is competing directly with rural economic development in Oklahoma, Boyd said. "We (in higher education) need to reach out to rural Oklahoma and focus and tailor what we, in higher education have to offer them," she said. Boyd mentioned Mezzinet, a
weather service run by University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) which farmers in rural Oklahoma use in planning their crops. "Education is rural economic development," Boyd said. Boyd stressed the importance of calling rural legislators this week urging them to increase funding for higher education. Hans Brisch, chancellor of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE), spoke about the importance of getting involved in the process of how money is appropriated to higher education. "We cannot be silent because our silence will be acquiescence," he said. Brisch showed figures displaying how much higher education funding in Oklahoma has dropped in the past 16 years. In 1980, the total appropriation
was 18.55 percent of the total state budget. That's $265.5 million from a total budget of $1,431.6 million. In 1996, the percentage had dropped to 14.97. That's $564.8 million out of a total budget of $3,771.8 million. So while the dollars for higher education have increased, the percentage of the state budget has actually dropped. When asked about equity adjustments for institutes that continue to grow, Brisch replied musically saying, "Here comes UCO, here comes UCO, get those dollar signs for UCO. "We cannot and will not shift State Representive Laura Boyd, Chancellor Hans Brisch and the base of other institutions Jim Bidlack discuss higher education at the AAUP state because others just continue to conference held Saturday.

UCO is also sat out. currently ranked sixth in the Charles Bornman is the top nation. player for UCO this season.
Bornman is ranked fourth nationally 29-3 this year, including 12-1 the spring semester. He lost his only spring match against West Texas A&M last weekend. "Bornman still owns a 3-2 record (over the WTAMU opponent)," tennis coach Francis Baxter said. "He had such a good season. If anything, it (the loss) will make him better." Borman also teams with No. 2 singles player Junior Brown (20-7) to make up the nation's second-ranked doubles team. They are 22-5 on the year. Alan Harris (17-10), Thompson (21-6), Lynam (12-1) and Bobby Armstrong (18-5) round out the team for the
Bronchos. Armstrong/Thompson (10-7) and Harris/Lynam (11-4 are the other doubles' teams. Baxter feels that everyone's contribution will be necessary to compete for the national title. "It depends on who has the depth," Baxter said. "The matches will probably be decided with the four, five and six (singles) guys. We've got the good type of players throughout." Baxter also feels that UCO's conditioning could play a key role in competing against the other teams. "We've had a very intense conditioning program (to avoid injuries)," Baxter said, citing an example. "The No. 2 player from
West Texas (A&M) owned us in the past, but in the tournament Junior beat him and was ready to play some more. The other guy (the WTAMU player) collapsed from dehydration and had to be taken to the hospital." Of the five teams ahead of UCO, three are from Florida, including top-ranked Northern Florida, Rollins and Berry. Second-ranked Landers (S. C.) and Bloomsburg State (Penn.) round out the top five. "This is a really exceptional team that is highly motivated," Baxter said. "Their hard work has turned into wins and that's great to see as a coach." The Bronchos hope to prove that hard work does pay off. On

Lady Bronchos trip up ECU, sweep doubleheader By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer When Central Oklahoma first baseman Staci Dickerson's bunt rolled into the outfield, the Lady Bronchos completed an 8-1, 5-4 doubleheader sweep of East Central Tuesday at the UCO softball field. Dickerson, who is UCO's new record holder for single season home runs and runs batted in as of last week, laid down a bunt with one out in the eighth inning of the second game with catcher Ericka Stout on second base. The ECU fielders attempted a special fielding play to react to the bunt, but the Lady Tigers were caught out of position, allowing Stout to score the game-winning run. "Well, that's a funny play," UCO softball coach Gerry Pinkston said of the ECU defensive setup. "They were playing a bunt defense expecting (Dickerson) to bunt, and so the first baseman was playing deep
and they brought the second the hole because different people baseman in a little bit. have different responsibilities to "Then the ball went between go different directions." The play completed a rally from a fourth-inning 4-1 deficit. ECU built their lead when right fielder Bonnie Knapp, who had homered earlier in the game, and pitcher Tammy Daniels hit consecutive home runs off Lady Broncho pitcher Lawanda Worthy. After Daniels' shot, Stacey Dannels replaced Worthy. Dannels, who also pitched in the first game, proceeded to retire nine batters in a row and allow only two Lady Tigers to get on base in five innings of hitless relief. Dannels also pitched out of a jam in the eighth inning, the first LaWanda Worthy delivers a extra stanza.

In the fall, Heit will teach a class, "Teutonic (Germanic) Myths and Legends," a study of the body of knowledge that explains the origin, historical development and religious composition of Germanic culture. Germanic influences are more prevalent in modem society than one might think: • Macbeth's Three Weird Sisters were Anglo-Saxon parallels of the Three Fates of Teutonic myth. • Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung was based on the legend of Siegfried. • Present calendar days are derived from names of mythical Germanic gods and goddesses, like Thorsday (Thursday) for Thor, the God of Thunder and Friday, for Frija, the Goddess of Love and Matrimony.

Mullholland Falls below expectations D emember those T.V. IXshows back in the fifties where the cops were tough and justice always prevailed? Mullholland Falls is a movie molded in that form. The movie, which takes place during the atomic age just after WWII, revolves around the death of a young girl and the film that incriminates her killer. Enter the Hat Squad. A group of four tough guys who dispense their own brand of justice. Usually completely illegal. Members of the vigilante squad include Nick Nolte, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Madsen and Chris Penn. They're the guys that make smoking look cool, three piece suits look comfortable and killing people look like everyday happenstance. And that's about as far as Mullholland Falls' charm goes.

Celtic Pride shoots and scores a winner hate basketball. This must be completely understood if the magic of this story is to have any effect. There's another thing that must be understood: anytime the comedy stylings of Daniel Stern (Coupe de Ville, City Slickers) or Dan Aykroyd (The Blues Brothers) are in a movie, it's going to be funny. Put them in a movie together and you're not just good— you're golden. Add Damon Wayans, by far the funniest of the Wayans clan, and you're infor a real treat.

nuts Bean-town has ever seen and the one man who is tearing the Boston Celtics to shreds. Mike O'Hara (Stern) and Mike Flaherty (Aykroyd) meet Lewis Scott (Wayans) on the eve of the playoff game between the Celtics and the Utah Jazz. At first the two fans just want to look him in the eye, then they just want to get him drunk. But when they wake up in the morning the realize that they've kidnapped Utah's key player. The next half of the movie focuses on Wayans' hillarious cut-downs and Stern and Aykroyd going bonkers trying to keep him in check. The finale, however is the funniest part of the movie. Stern and Aykroyd are forced
to root for Wayans and the Utah Jazz. Evidently this is comparable to hell to loyal Boston fans. In this day of un-funny comedies (almost anything produced by recent members of the SNL cast) it's nice to see a comedy that is funny. Most of the humor in Celtic Pride is generated through the lame existence of Stern and Aykroyd.

Annual art exhibit of UCO seniors' works runs through May 9 he UCO art T department's annual "Graduating Art Student Exhibits" opened April 21 at the Central Museum. The show, which is the second exhibit of graduating seniors' work this year, "is the capstone experience for the art department," said William Wallo, director of the museum. "The show is a storyboard of the undergraduate experience," he said. "The student must come to terms with putting together a piece with a sense of closure." David Van Nostrand, a senior, said "I hope it (the show) would encourage people to support the arts, or at least not be so critical." The exhibit runs through May 9. —By Brenan Hefner

Earth Day: Campus events promote environmental and wildlife awareness By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
Organizers of the first Earth Day, celebrated in 1970 on college campuses around the country, had the goal of increasing environmental awareness for the betterment of humankind. According to Dr. Srinivas C. Rao, research agronomist for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), this goal has been met. Rao represented the USDA Monday at UCO's Earth Day Celebration. Heightened sensitivity for the vulnerable nature of Mother Earth has resulted in USDA conservation systems that improve the quality of life, he said. For instance, said Rao, "Our monitor system is so good that we didn't have any mad cow disease." Rao said the USDA monitors all aspects of the food chain, from the manufacture of feed for cattle to the beef that reaches consumers. Other USDA practices that benefit the ecology are the preservation of topsoil by conservative plowing methods and the use of "fallowing" to prevent erosion, he said. Earth Day has significance on a state level as well, said Earl Hatley, executive director of the

Monday's rain may have drenched the campus but it did not dampen the spirit of UCO's Earth Day Celebration, which was moved to the University Center Ballroom. Students came away from the six-hour event with food, prizes and information on environmental topics from state, local and campus organizations. Participants reported a steady stream of student traffic. Campus groups selling nachos, baked goods and drinks drew a large crowd during the lunch hour. Student groups gave away replicas of the planet in the form of stickers, stress balls and hackey-sacks to promote Earth

Day. The Kappa Phi Christian women's sorority sponsored a trivia game with questions on environmental issues and gave attendees a list of groups that work to save wildlife. The Oklahoma State Parks Department provided students with descripti'ons of and applications for jobs with environmental themes. Dr. Ed Cunliff, chairman of the organizing committee, said he was pleased with the student turnout. Planning for next year's celebration will begin next week. Anyone interested in joining the committee can call Cunliff at 341-2980, Ext. 3342. "We would like to turn this into an event with a festival-type atmosphere," said Jane Byram, committee member.
The Bangladesh Student Association held its second annual Bangladesh Night 6:30 p.m. April 21 in the University Center Ballroom. Among the evening festivities were folk dancers in traditional dress, contemporary poetry, drama and unique Bangladesh cuisine. The dancing and poetry depict the Bangoli war for independence from Pakistan in 1971.

Oklahoma Toxics Campaign, a Guthrie-based environmental group. He cites a line from the state song as evidence. "We know we belong to the land," puts to music Oklahoma's special ties to environmental issues, he said. Hatley said that the people of Oklahoma and the earth share a common quality of tenaciousness that serves well under times of stress. He said that the environment can repair itself with a little tender loving care. In the same way, Oklahoman's have begun the healing process after the bombing of the Federal Building April 19,1995. Earth Day is observed on April 22, which is also the anniversary of the Oklahoma Land Run in 1889. "This year, in light of the bombing, we wanted to have a real celebration of the spirit of Oklahoma," said Hatley. "What we saw after the bombing was the same tenaciousness and reaching out that the pioneers of 1889 showed," he said.
Local bookstore offers alternative to trashing unwanted books, launches recycling program for used texts At the end of the semester, many students will sell their used textbooks back to a bookstore for less than what they paid for them. Students say it is even worse to find out their books won't be repurchased because a new edition has been published or the professor has chosen a new one. Thompson's Book and Supply Co., 101 N. University Dr., will have a "Take It Or Leave It" bin located next to the textbook buyback tables. Students can drop in books they don't want and can take out any they would like to have. Jim McFarland, manager of Thompson's, said they started this project last December. "It has worked really well," he said. "At times there were 50 to 75 books. We ended up with only a couple of things left over." Some students who were graduating brought in all of the books they had saved over the years.

Native American Heritage Week: A showcase of rich culture, traditions
T
he sound of drums, rattling gourds and chanting radiated from the Hamilton Field House the evening of April 20. Inside the center of the gym sat a large drum circled by six men. Each held one drumstick and simultaneously pounded the drum while singing timeless, ancient chants. Surrounding the drummers were men, women and children wearing buckskin clothes, ornate with beads, feathers and animal skins. Each dancer carried a fan of feathers and some shook a gourd. They moved around the drummers slowly in a circle, each honoring the other by placing dollar bills at their feet. The final event of Indian Heritage Week ended with the 24th Annual UCO Spring Contest powwow. The evening opened with the traditional Native American Gourd Dance. "This dance is as old as time," said Sharon Bailey, Miss Indian Oklahoma. Master of Ceremonies Strateford Williams said gourd dancing was given to the Kiowa Indians by a red wolf during ancient times and they passed it on to the other tribes. The drum in the center of the gym represents communication of prayers to the heavens. With each pound of the drum, prayers are sent upward, said Janet Theus, a teacher at the Edmond Language Institute. Vendors selling buffalo fur, buckskin, T-shirts, jewelry and beads lined the walls of the gym. On one of the tables sat a replica of a French trading hatchet. At one end of the hatchet is an ornate blade and at the other is a peace pipe. The handle is hollowed out for smoking the pipe. The hatchet was made by the French to trade with the Indians. When warring tribes made peace with each other, they smoked the peace pipe together, then buried the hatchet, said Phil Pruner, owner of the Black Beaver Trading

Company. "That's were the term 'to bury the hatchet' came from," he said. Pat Pruner, Phil's great-grandfather, married a woman from the Delaware tribe by the name of Halfmoon. His father was hired as an interpreter for many famous early American expeditions, he said. "There are many things people don't know about American Indians," Phil Pruner said as he pointed to books sitting on his table. "Their culture was much more advanced than people realize; the women were the chiefs during peacetime," he said.

Women had a great deal of political power too. "If the chief was male and they didn't like him, they could vote him out of office," Pruner said. "They owned the property too and when they wanted a divorce they threw the man's clothes outside the teepee and kept everything." One of the misconceptions about Native Americans deals with scalping, said Pruner. Indians were actually taught scalping by the French during the French-Indian War, he said. "Indians were paid for every Englishman they killed and the only way the French would pay them was for the scalps to prove it." The grand entry introduced the beginning of the dance contests. The American flag was brought to the circle by Native American war veterans. They marched around the drums in a circle, carrying the flag. The dance contests have separate categories for gender and children. Williams said they begin dancing at a very young age. Jon Bellymule, father of the head male dancer, said, "My son started dancing when he was wearing Pampers." The female contestants danced around the drummers in the circle during the fancy shawl and jingle dance. The fringe of their shawls swayed to the beat of the drums like the pendulum of a clock. Each contestant stands very stiff, careful not to move his or her head or shoulders. They are judged on the balance and grace of the swing of their shawls' fringe, said Theus. The jingle dancers are judged on the jingle of the bells on their costumes. Women were clothed in multicolored costumes, each wearing symbols representing their tribe. Weasel pelts were attached to the Bailey's long braids. "They're worn out of respect for the animal, who once provided food for the tribes," she said. During the Fancy Dance contest, the dancers bounced around the drum, careful not to let the fringe of their costumes touch the floor. They are judged on their movement and being one step off-beat from the drums could get them disqualified. "Some of them are so light on their feet they're like ballet dancers," said Theus. The men dressed in feathers and animal skins. Attached to their backs were bustles with feathers fanned out like proud peacocks. Some danced like the movement of grass in the wind and some danced as though they were tracking prey. Guests were served Native American cuisine for dinner and participated in a raffle. The drums pounded and the drummers sang until midnight, drawing a close to Indian Heritage Week. .446 —By Judy Simpson

UCO graduate student recognized for "outstanding" work rr he newest recipient of 1 the "Outstanding Graduate Student Award" from UCO's biology department is described as being "ambitious...(and) probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet." This is not the only reason Chris Sloan was selected for the award, said Dr. Terry Harrison. chairman of the biology department. The award recognizes graduate students for their grade-point average, university or departmental service and research activities. Several professors nominated Sloan based on his field studies and research in the area of behavioral ecology, Harrison said. "We have high standards; if no one meets them, we don't hand out any awards," he said. "That speaks a lot about Chris's talents and accomplishments here." Sloan is presently seeking his master's degree and actively researching "the adaptive value of female social behavior in collared lizards." — Kelly Crow
