according to the United States

website.
In order to make a so-called
superior race, the Nazis first
worked to rid the nation of the
mentally handicapped and those
who were viewed as a drain on
public resources.
Policies of sterilization and
constraints on marriage turned
into the mass genocide of not only
the mentally ill, but also minorities
- most notably the Jews, but also
the Roma, also known as gypsies,
and others.
All sorts of scientists, from
medically trained geneticists and

the tour of the William
A. Blakeley Library.
While some might not consider it
a good time investment, others see
it as an opportunity to familiarize
themselves with one of University
of Dallas’ greatest resources.
The on-campus library
holds roughly 310,000 works.
Approximately 190,000 are in
circulation, and the rest include
periodicals, reference books, rare
books and special collections that

he University of Dallas’
ROTC Club, in conjunction
with Student Government,
held a six-hour-long
ceremony in honor of Veterans Day
on Friday, Nov. 1 1.
The event, organized by UD
junior Patrick Brehany and senior
Mitch Pohl, began with the lowering
of the flag on the Mall to half mast
and continued in Lynch Auditorium
with a reading of the names of all
6,313 U.S. servicemen and women
who have fallen in both Operation
Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan
and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq.
Beginning at 11 a.m., 24 student
volunteers read names from the list
of the fallen soldiers for 1 5 minutes
each. The event concluded at 5 p.m.
with another flag ceremony on the
Mall. A national moment of silence
was also observed at 11 p.m. Pacific
Standard Time. The event was part
of a national program known as the
“Remembrance Day National Roll
Call.”
According to Brehany, the event
sought “to use the unique date of
11/11/11 and the 1 Oth anniversary
of the current U.S. military operations
in the Middle East to honor all
veterans, including the fallen.”
Similar ceremonies took place
on 1 83 campuses across the United
outside the building.
The theology section is most
likely the largest, said Access
Services Librarian Cherie Hohertz.
However, she said she believes
the philosophy and English
departments have a comparable
number of volumes.
Blakley has a “specific collection
development policy” when it comes
to the acquisition of new books,
Hohertz said. In general, the staff
aims to procure books that “relate
to our curriculum.”
“We prefer scholarly works,”
she remarked.

at the University of Dallas has a

The exhibit will focus on the
role of biology and genetics in
the Holocaust. Through actual
documents - such as euthanasia
forms and SS propaganda as
well as photos - and profiles of
physicians and scientists, “Deadly

reality of ethnic cleansing.
