When many Americansthink of the popular head-lines in 1994, they probablythink of O.J. Simpson sendingpolice on a chase down a LosAngeles freeway, or figureskater Tonya Harding hiring ahit man to break NancyKerrigan’s legs.
Few Americans probablythink of the 800,000
Rwandans killed in genocidebetween April and June 1994.The country was focused onwhat could be called trivialnews as Tutsis half a worldaway were being killed bytheir Hutu neighbors.
During his presentation“When Never Again BecomesEver Again: Breaking thePattern of Genocide”Thursday in the UniversityCenter at UNC, PeterFredlake, the director of
national outreach for teacherinitiatives for the NationalInstitute for HolocaustEducation at the UnitedStates. Holocaust Museum inWashington, D.C., told thestory of Rwandan genocideand how both it and theHolocaust can help peopleprevent anything like it fromhappening in the future.
In April 1994, theRwandan president’s planewas shot down shortly aftertakeoff, and the Tutsi, oneof the two major racialgroups in the country, wereblamed and every Tutsisuddenly became a victim,Fredlake said.
Once the killings began,Americans were told to leavethe country and the interna-
tional community turned itsback on the nation and theTutsi people, he said.
The shooting plane was acatalyst for genocide, but itwas not the cause. Fredlakesaid conflict between theHutus and Tutsis began at theend of the 19th century.
“Genocide isn’t a thingthat just happens,” Fredlakesaid. “It takes place in a his-torical context and decisionshave consequences.”
Fredlake discussed howthe warning signs and pat-terns of genocide, howothers respond and sur-vivors’ legacies, can stopfuture atrocities.
Several signs havebecome patterns of genocide,Fredlake said, including an
entrenched ruling elite withgenocidal ideology, scape-goating and preparations.
Just as Jews were requiredto wear a yellow Star of Davidduring Adolf Hitler’s reign inthe 1930s and ‘40s, the Tutsiwere required to carry aroundan identification card thatstated their ethnicity. If theyfound themselves stopped atone of the many roadblocksset up by Hutus, they wereoften killed on the spot.
Fredlake said theRwandan government greatlyadmired Joseph Goebbels,the Reich Minister ofPropaganda under Hitler,and used the propagandamachine to rewrite their his-tory and promoted the idea ofkeeping the race pure.
Although atrocities wereperformed, the reactions ofthe people at that time andnow are important in recov-ering and preventing anyfuture violence.
Fredlake told the story ofCarl Wilkens, his personalfriend and a missionary whowas in Rwanda with his wifeand three kids, and DamasGasimba, the second-genera-tion owner of an orphanagewith more than 300 children.
Wilkens, the onlyAmerican to stay in thecountry, sent his family toTanzania and helpedGasimba defend the orphan-age when Hutu soldierscame looking for Tutsi chil-dren and workers.
The orphanage is stillaround today, and one of theyoung men who lived thereas a child during the geno-cide is now studying tobecome a lawyer.
Fredlake said the youngman knows he could becomeextremely wealthy throughbeing a general lawyer, butinstead of pursuing a degreefor the money, he opted touse his degree to help womenand children and work to pre-vent the things he saw fromever happening again.
This young man’s deci-sion to protect others after theatrocities he saw is just one ofthe many legacies left behindafter the genocide.
“Two men made a seriesof decisions and created alegacy,” Fredlake said.
After the genocide, theHutu and Tutsi went backto living side by side, andthe trials for the Hutumen who served as killers

As the race for the Republicannomination begins to come to aclose, it seems that Mitt Romneywill be the candidate facing offagainst President Barack Obama inNovember.
Rick Santorum’s inability tocatch Romney shows, in politics,the candidate with the mostmoney almost always wins.
When Santorum visited Greeleyin February, he made remarkstoward Romney’s seemingly end-less cash flow. More specifically, hesaid, “yes, Governor Romney hasthe most money in the primary, buthe will not in the general (election).”
He continued by saying,“ideas, principle, trust; that isthe currency that will win theelection in the fall.”
But on April 10, Santorumannounced he would be sus-pending his campaign for TheWhite House. When Santorumtold the UNC crowd that “ideas,principle, trust” was the currencythat will win the GOP nomina-tion, he was mistaken. However,he was right when he said thatRomney will not have the mostmoney in the general election.
As Romney and his most gener-ous political action committee,
Restore Our Future, now take aimat Obama, they enter into an arenawhere they don’t hold the moneyadvantage.
He must face Obama’s cam-paign fundraising with the help ofhis political action committee,Priorities USA Action.Romney isalready at a disadvantage becausehe has been in full campaign modeand consistently spending moneysince Jan 3.
According to the websiteOpensecrets.org, Romney hasraised $74 million and spent $67million trying to attain theRepublican nomination while
President Obama has raised adaunting $157 million and spentonly $75 million.
If Romney doesn’t receive somefinancial aid from those generousdonors who have made it all butcertain his name will appear on theballot come Nov. 6, it may be verydifficult for him to defeat theincumbent.
If Santorum’s unsuccessfulcampaign for the Republicannomination is attributed to thefact he could not match Romneyfinancially, what does that tell usabout the likelihood Romneywill defeat Obama?
Obama will be tough out for Romney in November
The Campaign to RegulateMarijuana Like Alcoholobtained enough signa-
tures to place a proposed amend-ment on this year’s ballot to legalizemarijuana for regulated recreation-al use. Similar legislation failed inColorado in 2006 and in Californiain 2010. Another organization,Legalize 2012, is seeking to putanother initiative on the ballot forunlimited recreational use.
The pro-marijuana agenda hasfollowed the proven method ofincremental legislation whereby aperson or organization slowlychanges public opinion through thelegal system. An excellent example
of successful use of this is ThurgoodMarshall, who convinced theSupreme Court in 1948 to ban dis-criminatory housing against blacksby private parties, warming up thecultural environment to successful-ly win Brown v. Board of Education.
The pro-marijuana agenda firstpressed for medical marijuana.Now, the ubiquitous nature ofmedical marijuana has openedpeople up to the idea of recreation-al use.
I must commend them on theirtactics; however, the agenda hasbrought us on a path that has thepotential to lead to a slippery slope.
At its core, government exists totake away our liberties, to protectthe populous at the expense of indi-vidual freedoms. As a conservative,I am naturally in favor of stronglimits on the powers governmenthas over us.
Even with this in consideration,
I strongly oppose the move to legal-ize marijuana. It is demonstrablethat when the ban on an activity islifted, the number of occurrencesand participants of said activityincreases dramatically.
According to the NationalInstitute of Health, marijuana hasmyriad debilitating effects. Apartfrom containing carcinogens andincreasing risk of heart attack 4.8-fold, frequent use of marijuana canplace people in constant states ofdecreased intellectual capacity andinhibited perceptions because theeffect of marijuana on cognitivefunctions can persist for days oreven weeks after the most notice-able side-effects diminish.
We must ask ourselves whetherwe’re willing to take actions thatwill almost definitely skyrocket theuse of marijuana, especially at atime when we’re already fallingbehind in education and work pro-
ductivity compared to othernations.
But legalizing marijuana alsohas the potential to set a dangerousprecedent.
Already, the legality of alcohol isused as an argument for legalizingmarijuana. If marijuana is legalized,it too may be used to incrementallylegalize more dangerous drugs.Once society grants one thing, it isnot too far off to grant legality tosomething slightly more damagingor controversial, which can then beused to advocate for the legalizationof still something worse.
Though this slippery slope iscertainly not guaranteed, the legal-ization of marijuana would openthe door to this possibility, butkeeping marijuana illegal shuts thedoor firmly.

Marijuana legalization fully ripe for unneeded slippery slope
Although the UNC cam-pus is more than 3,000 milesaway from the HawaiianIslands, members of theHa’aheo ‘O Hawaii Club onSaturday transformed theUniversity Center GrandBallrooms into a festive luaucelebration.
A luau is a traditionalHawaiian celebration thatmarks special events suchas birthdays, graduations orto welcome visitors.Hawaiians have consideredthe rituals and foods pre-pared at luaus to be sym-bolic. For instance, the foodserved at dinner could rep-resent virtues such asstrength or courage.
The ballrooms filled withfriends and food while atten-dees were treated to a specialHawaiian dance presentationthat celebrated the historyand culture of Hawaii.
The night also followed atheme, incorporating the hittelevision series “Hawaii Five-0,” which first premiered in1968 and ended in 1980 butwas recently re-imagined in2010.
Guests were treated to atraditional luau dinner menuwith entrées including roast-ed pork, chicken, long riceand a coconut puddingdessert.
After dinner, the HalauHula ‘o Ha’aheo perform-ances began, in which 13different traditional danceswere performed. Many ofthe dances were exclusivelymale or female until thefinal couple performancesand the finale. More than20 dancers took the stage tobring the art of Hawaiian lu
au dance to life. This year marked the 21st
annual Hawaiian luau at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, in which the com-mittee and club membersare devoted to sharing theculture of Hawaii with thecommunity.
“The luau is put on topresent Hawaiian culture andto share the customs with thecommunity,” said Shawn
Saito, a chairperson of theluau committee.
There are two organiza-tions on campus that cele-brate the customs of theHawaiian lifestyle. TheHa’aheo ‘O Hawai’I Clubteaches students and thecommunity about Hawaiianculture, while the Halau Hula‘O Ha’aeho club teaches tra-ditional as well as contempo-rary Hawaiian dances.

Hawaiian Club InfoFor students interested in getting involved andlearning more information about the HawaiianCulture, The Ha’aheo ‘O Hawai’I Club, and the
Holocaust RemembranceWeek continued Sunday asthe College Of Education andBehavioral Sciences and theCollege of Humanities andSocial Sciences hosted a pres-entation on the social, eco-nomic and intellectual rootsof Nazi Anti-Semitism.
Peter Black, a senior histo-rian from the Center ofAdvanced Holocaust Studiesat the United StatesHolocaust MemorialMuseum, gave the presenta-tion in the Centennial Roomof Brown Hall. Black alsoworked for the U.SDepartment of Justice Officeof Special Investigations aspart of a team tracking andprosecuting suspected warcriminals.
The session analyzed hownegative stereotypes towardJews, rooted partly in theolog-ical interaction betweenChristianity and Judaism,developed from the MiddleAges as a result of legal, eco-nomic and social regulationsthat determined how Jewsand non-Jews lived togetherin Europe during the earlymodern era.
It followed the impact ofemancipation on interactionsbetween Jews and non-Jews,and how racist socialDarwinism of the late 19thcentury gave birth to“voelkisch” nationalism, aracist view of German history.
Black described through-out his presentation thatthere are five general typesof anti-Semitism: Christian,legal/economic, job compe-tition, racial and JewishBolshevik conspiracy anti-Semitism.
“I definitely know whypeople say the things theysay about Jewish peoplenow,” said Sylvia Stone, afreshman English major.“I never knew that peopleback then thought theJewish were into moneybecause those were theonly jobs that they couldget; the jobs that madethem handle money.”
Black explained thatChristian anti-Semitism
was first introduced afterChrist’s crucifixion.Before then, Christiansand Jews lived in harmo-ny. Both were influencedby and interested in oneanother’s doctrines.
“We see that this starts tochange after the first millen-nium,” Black said. “BeforeJudaism, Christianity wasthe dominant religion andChristians felt that their reli-gion was under threat — itwas an existential threat.”
Once Jews gainedemancipation, they wereable to own land andfinally allowed to workjobs they normally didn’thave. When new job offersstarted rolling in, therecame job competition.
“Many Christian lead-ers thought that Jewishpeople had 1,000 years totry to see the light, and sopeople thought Jews couldbe blamed for the BlackDeath and other things
that plagued life for otherpeople because they werebelieved to be evil,” Blacksaid.
Racial anti-Semitismgoes into social Darwinismand how the Jews fit in.Many people after CharlesDarwin’s book came outthought Jewish peoplewere a part of the whitepeople plight, but it laterturned out they were notregarded as white people.
Students also foundthe whole experienceuplifting because theylearned how to counter-act stereotypes they hearbecause they learnedabout how they wereincorrectly created.
“I’m so glad I went to thispresentation,” said ElyseFlores, a freshman elemen-tary education major. “Now Ican tell those people whythose stereotypes came intobeing and then maybe theywon’t do it anymore.”

Football’s linebacking unit begins to take shape MICHAEL NOWELS
faces among the lineback-ers next season, but thatdoesn’t change expecta-tions for the University ofNorthern Colorado. Forthose returning, having ayear under their belts inthis defensive schemeshould prove helpful.
Linebacker coach
Derrick Davison said hethinks his group is learn-ing to communicate bet-ter.
“I feel the guys havemore confidence in whatthey are seeing as far ascommunicating with oneanother because commu-nication is 90 percent ofit,” Davison said.
After leading the teamwith 145 tackles and earn-ing Second Team All-BigSky honors, juniorClarence Bumpas said hedidn’t have much of anoffseason because of theamount of work he hasput in after the closing oflast season.
“We’re basically justtrying to build on the
small things that we did-n’t do last year, whichcould have won us thegames that we lost by twoor the games we gotblown out,” Bumpas said.
One starter from lastyear, junior Gavin Miller,moved to defensive end,leaving one open spotalongside Bumpas andsenior Cameron Friend.One player vying for theopening on the field comefall is senior Herve Tonye.Tonye transferred fromAlcorn State, with hisbrother Raymond, a jun-ior running back, to con-tinue playing for headcoach Earnest Collins Jr.Tonye, a Montreal native,said he thinks his best
attribute is his physicalnature.
“I believe that I ampretty physical,” Tonyesaid. “That’s one of mystrongest aspects. Also, Itry to understand not onlymy position, but everyother position, as well.”
Collins said he feelsthe three most importantparts of playing line-backer are physicality,smarts and instincts, andthose are what he is look-ing for in spring practices.
“Those three thingsmake a good linebackerbecause a linebacker hasto go from playing the rungame to the pass game offof what happens in thebackfield,” Collins said.
Collins and Davison bothmentioned junior DominickSierra as a player that hasimpressed this spring. Collinsalso said he expects sopho-
more Leilon Willingham, atransfer from Central Florida,to play in the competitionduring fall camp when hereturns from a hand injury.
Bears end with mercy rule in series sweep of NYIT at homeMICHAEL NOWELS
The UNC baseballteam earned a four-gamesweep against the NewYork Institute of
Technology this weekend,with three games endingdue to mercy rules.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (14-17. 5-3 Great WestConference) took the first
two games Friday, byblowout scores of 15-2and 10-0, both in seveninnings. Saturday’s firstgame was closer and wasthe only game the Bearsdidn’t win with the mercyrule, 14-8. UNC won thefinal game handily by a13-1 score.
UNC freshman leftfielder Jensen Park went3-for-4 in each of the firstthree games of the seriesand 9-for-15 overall. Hedrove in three runs withhis bat and crossed theplate seven timesthroughout the weekend.Park said he stays loose atthe plate because heknows his teammates are
there to back him up.“When I’m up there, it
takes a pressure off toknow I’ve got the rest ofmy lineup that’s going tobe there, putting up thenumbers too,” Park said.
UNC owned the week-end, outscoring NYIT (2-24, 0-7) 52-11 betweenthe four games. Pitchingwas key in the success ofthe weekend, evidencedby senior southpaw JoeWillman throwing aseven-inning completegame in the final contest,allowing just one run onfour hits.
“It’s really good confi-dence for me to do some-thing like that, just to
close out the series forour team like that, it feelsgood,” Willman said.
Willman used hisdefense a fair amount onSaturday, only strikingout four batters but onlywalked one. He said helikes to pitch to contact tohelp keep the rhythm ofthe game moving.
“I like to move quick,obviously,” Willman said.“(Second baseman Ryan)Yamane and (shortstopAdam) Hilker up the mid-dle are pretty dang solid,and I definitely love to getthem some ground ballsand make plays for me andget us back in the dugoutand let the offense work.”
UNC played quite a bitof small ball during theweekend, with three sac-rifice fly-outs and threesacrifice bunts, in addi-tion to numerous dragbunts.
“We have to play ourbrand of baseball,” headcoach Carl Iwasaki said.“All we can do is playhard, put the ball in play,try to beat it out. So be it ifthey make errors or plusplays.”
The Bears return to thediamond Tuesday inManhattan, Kan., whenthey take on Kansas StateUniversity (17-18, 3-9 Big12) for the first of a two-game series.

‘Eye-opening’ presentation highlights violent differenceswill end this year.
“The day the genocideends, it’s not over,” Fredlakesaid. “Ripples go on for many,many years.”
Fredlake said PresidentBarack Obama has createda task force to monitor sit-uations in various coun-tries that could progressinto genocides. Fredlakesaid most people say they
think if genocide were tooccur, it would be inRwanda again, but theinternational communityis watching for warningsigns now.
Elena Townsend, asenior English major,came to the presentationfor her husband, who isdoing his own research onthe Holocaust and whatcauses people to start a
genocide but left thepresentation affected inher own way.
“I feel like I can dosomething,” Townsendsaid. “Instead of standingon the sidelines, I can getinvolved in this. I’m alsosad. It was a lot of informa-tion that was really sad; Ithought I was going to cry acouple times. But was greatinformation. It was noth-
ing like I expected it.”Jackie Moody, an English
and German major, saidFredlake helped her makeconnections she never real-ized before.
“I thought it was a reallygood eye-opening experi-ence,” Moody said. “Therewere a lot of things aboutthe Rwandan genocide andthe Holocaust that I didn’treally put together, like the
warning signs he was talk-ing about. I think just forbasic overview for studentsand stuff, it was a real eye-opening experience.”
