the Daily Collegian California State University, Fresno TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1989 Lies mislead victims Discussing methods of deception the Upstairs Cafeteria Monday the Nazis to exterminate Jews, Dr. Nazis deceived Jews in Holocaust says speaker By Mike Klingbeil Staff Writer The deception surrounding the Holo¬ caust involved euphemisms for death to steadfast secrecy and lies, according to Dr. Jacob Boas, associate director of the Holocaust Center of Northern California in San Francisco. Boas' lecture Monday at the Upstairs Cafeteria in front of approximately 200 people described an environment in which Jews were told they were going "East* to be resettled. "They [the Jews) were told they were being taken East to be resettled and, more important, they would be reunited with their families,'' said Boas. According to Boas, the Jews were promised work by the Germans at their new destination. Boas said thai the Germans were elaborate in their deceptive techniques from showing the Jews maps of where they would be living in Germany to the jobs that would be waiting them when they got there. The most obvious of the Nazi deceptive ploys, he said, came in the terminology they used. "They used the term 'special treatment' for being gassed," Boas said. He added that Jewish secretaries work¬ ing for the Nazi Party were given a list of 34 accepted causes of death while excluding the the real ones. When the Jews died by execution or in the death camps, the cause of death would be due to medical reasons that would leave the public unsuspecting as to the truth. Similarly, the gas chambers were dubbed "the final solution". Boas said. "'Cleansing operations' was a positive phrase for saying me Jews were wiped out," he said The death camps, said Boas, were called "resettlement camps." Boas said that most Jews believed what they were being told. Moreover, Boas paints a picture of German obsession with deceiving the See JEWS, page 3 AIDS testing offered By Suzanne M. Colby Contributing Writer With 127 cases of AIDS reported in Fresno since 1985, the CSUF Health Cen¬ ter will begin voluntary AIDS testing Thursday. According to a Central Valley AIDS commission representative, there have been a total of 127 identified AIDS cases in Fresno since 1$85. Of the 127 cases, there have been 81 deaths. Obviously, like many communiucs across die nation, Fresno is not immune from the AIDS virus. Aware of this fact, the CSUF Health Center has become in¬ creasingly active in promoting AIDS awareness education on campus. The testing program is a coopcrauvc effort of both the Fresno County Health Department and the campus Health Center. AIDS specialists from the Coun¬ ty Health Department will take blood samples and conduct lab tesung of the samples. Those being tested will prob¬ ably receive lab results within two weeks of their initial tests. Complete anonymity is guaranteed to those wishing to be tested. Sam (.Michel, health educator at the Health Center, said counseling is an integral part of the AIDS testing pro¬ gram. "One of the main purposes of testing is to better educate people about their immune status in order io prevent the spread of AIDS to others." Those interested in having an AIDS test should call the Student Health Center first and ask for more information. A county AIDS specialist will meet one on- one with people in a designated area in the Health Center. Numbers will be used in place of names in order to insure anony¬ mity. Though publicity for the testing program is aimed at students, faculty, and staff at CSUF, it is available to anyone in die community. "We won't know who the people are anyway because the testing is anonymous," said Gitchel. AIDS testing is already available at other sites in Fresno but Gitchel said that he feels a test site on campus is a good idea. "Access is an important variable in the AIDS tesung process," said Gitchel. "It makes it more convenient for people."

According to Dorothy Tucci, administrative aide of Affirm¬ ative Action, the Forgivable Loan Program was devised three years ago in an effort to get more in*denepresented individ¬ uals into doctoral degree pro¬ grams. Emphasis is put on fields where numbers are small, such as in physical and life science, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Those who are eligible can receive up to S 10,000 a year for three years to realize their doc¬ toral degree." said Tucci, "Upon completion of their studies, if they work as full-time faculty at any of the CSU system cam¬ puses their loan is forgiven at a 20 percent rate per year. So in five years, they can pay off their loan." she said. Out of 40 CSU students who were awarded loans last year, six were from the Fresno campus. Once students meet a given criteria and file their applica¬ tions, they arc sent to the Chan¬ cellor's Office for selection and are notified by June 30, said Tuc¬ ci. "The economic assistance determined my ability to attend school to get my doctoral degree." said Janis Patch, a Fres¬ no native and blind student at UC Berkeley who was awarded a loan last summer. She was able to continue studying language and literacy problems in educa¬ tion. Without this program she would not have continued her education. Dr. Barbara Mayer, a CSUF chemistry professor who spon¬ sored recipient Darryl Leon last year, said that a program such as this definitely gives the CSU systems an edge when vying for minority faculty in underrep- resented areas. "Everyone else wants the same person because it's difficult to get minorities as teachers," said Mayer. "It's an advantage to them to come here. The depart¬ ment benefits from one of its own students and the student doesn't lose either." CurrenUy the loans are financed by the lottery funds. The program has been so successful that Chancellor W. Ann Reynolds will request mat additional funds be allocated from 1989-90 budget This program comes in a timely manner, over the next ten years institutions of higher learn¬ ing across the nation will con¬ front a shortage of faculty members to replace those hired in the 1960's who are getting ready to retire.
