Lipstadt said
there could
have been
many implica
tions had Irving
won the trial.
She said if peo
ple could be
lieve the Holo
caust never
happened,
some would be
lieve Nazis were
good people.
Some people in the United States
have used such thinking to ignore
the slaughter of American Indians
and the cruelty of the Ku Klux Klan,
she said.
The verdict “felt great because so
many survivors had been moved by
this,” she said, adding that for people
who weathered the Holocaust, the vic
tory was about remembering lost loved
Lipstadt
ones as well as reaffirming history.
The author is currently finishing
a new book about the trial, and HBO
is producing a movie for next year.
Half an hour before tonight’s lec
ture, members of the University’s
Jewish Student Union will begin
their annual “reading of the names,”
where students read names of Holo
caust victims out of a book for 24
consecutive hours at the EMU Am
phitheater. Because the list is so
long, only the names of people who
perished in Germany will be read.
“So many Jews in Europe per
ished that for many of them, all
that’s left are statistics,” JSU Direc
tor Daniel Gruber said. “What we
are doing is remembering them.”
Gruber said he expects only one
letter of the alphabet to be complet
ed in 24 hours.
Students interested in signing up
to read names for 15 minutes should
contact JSU at 346-4366.

Missouri college
to investigate
claims of bias
Sam Baker
The Maneater (U. Missouri)
COLUMBIA, Mo. (U-WIRE) —
When University of Missouri stu
dents in Mary Golomb’s genetics
and society class show up today,
they won’t see their professor.
Golomb, an associate professor of
biological sciences, will be sitting
out, replaced for the day by Vice
Chancellor for Student Affairs
Cathy Scroggs, who will talk to stu
dents about whether Golomb of
fered extra credit for protesting con
servative speaker David Horowitz.
College Republicans have state
Rep. Rod Jetton, R-Marble Hill,
promising to investigate the claims
of bias, and financial retribution
from the legislature could follow.
Golomb said she offered the class
extra credit only to attend
Horowitz’s speech.
“I had been asked by a group of
students who supported Horowitz if
I would give two points extra credit
for attending the lecture,” she said.
“The same group of students kept
insisting, so I said ‘OK, in the inter
est of fairness, you can attend and
make up your own mind.’”
She said she initially denied the
request, because she said she be
lieves Horowitz is racist.
College Republicans members
have said several students ap
proached them with the complaint
of political bias in class. That led to
College Republicans taking their
concerns to Jetton.
Golomb said she wants to encour
age an objective analysis, which is
why she invited Scroggs to class.
“I’m going to be asking them their
impression of what happened,”
Scroggs said. “I’m supposed to gath
er information to see how she han
dled the situation.”
College Republicans spokes
woman Angela Landers said inviting
Scroggs was a good idea, but the out
come of Monday’s class period won’t
sway the organization.
“I think it’s smart because that’s
what they need to do, but I don’t
think that’s going to do much,” she
said. “From the students I have spo
ken with, I think somebody is lying.”
Landers said she believes anti
Horowitz comments may have been
made sarcastically, but still may
have bothered conservative stu
dents. She also said Golomb’s stu
dents have had problems with bias
in the past.
“She’s in violation with other
things, so this wouldn’t be the one
and only incident,” Landers said. “I
know our tuition is going up next se
mester, and I think a great solution
would be a budget cut to this
woman’s salary.”
