6 Monday, May 1, 2000 Holocaust Degree Makes Debut By Gavin Off Staff Writer The determination and persistence of a history professor whose family died during World War II has finally paid off after years of hard work. Dr. Irene Shur, history professor for 45 years at Pennsylvania’s West Chester University, recendy watched her plan to implement the nation’s first master’s degree program in Holocaust and geno cide studies come to fruition. Shur, a pioneer of Holocaust studies, said she first had the idea of creating a the graduate program more than 20 years ago when the film “Holocaust” captured nationwide interest. “I saw an interest in students who wanted to know about (the Holocaust),” Shur said. “As soon as I opened my course, my good ness, it was wall-to-wall students.” She said the master’s degree required the completion of 30 credits and an COALITION From Page 3 Heinke said unity among the system schools was important as students begin lobbying their legislators. “One of the problems with state government is that Chapel Hill is seen as going out on its own a lot,” he said. “So when a Chapel GREEK FREAK From Page 3 separated the two groups and left offi cers in the area.” Binder said fights might break out between organizations mainly out of support for their respective fraternities and sororities. “Sometimes groups just get very excited when their fellow broth ers and sisters step,” he said.

She said requirements included courses in history, criminal justice and psychology. But Shur said students did not mind taking a wide variety of courses. She also said students’ religious affiliation did not determine whether or not they enrolled in a Holocaust course, since 95 percent were Christian and others Muslim. But Christopher Browning, a UNC history professor who specializes in Eastern European and Holocaust studies, said a master’s degree in Holocaust and genocide studies did not attract the inter est of many UNC students. “I think it’s not at all bad to have some place in the United States (offering a degree in Holocaust studies),” he said. “I don’t think every school should have such a thing.” While he said enrollment in the Holocaust course he taught was impres sive, Browning said UNC did not have the facilities to implement a graduate Hill initiative is developed, it’s not given the recognition that it should be.” Although students have not fully started their lobbying campaign, two local representatives have given them positive feedback about its feasibility. Last week coalition members met with House Speaker Pro Tern Joe Hackney, D-Orange, and Rep. Verla Inkso, D-Orange, chairwoman of the McCracken said fighting at Greek Freak was unusual. “The last two or three years there’s been absolutely noth ing,” he said. “The Alphas have done an outstanding job.” At the end of the program, the schol arship and charity checks were doled out, and Alpha Phi Alpha Inc.

But Loretta Mac Alpine, WCU’s assis tant director of public relations, said Shur was determined to make the pro gram a success. She said the master’s program would begin in fall 2000. She said the plan finished a tremen dous effort by Shur to bring increased interest and awareness to the Holocaust. “This is her life-blood," MacApline said. “Dr. Shur has been very supportive of this type of study for a very long time.” Deflecting the credit, Shur said stu dent interest in the Holocaust would make the program successful. “It was the students who were pushing me,” she said. “They wouldn’t let me slow down.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. subcommittee on higher education. Both representatives said the group’s proposal for combining some items of legislation into one bill was a possibility. “(Inkso) said that a proposal like that would fly,” Chapman said. “She said she thought it sounded great.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. Senior April Smith, Zeta Phi Beta sorority member at ECU, also per formed at Greek Freak. She said that although her sorority didn’t win, she still had a good time. “Yeah (the judging) was fair,” she said. “It would have been nice to win the money, but stepping is supposed to be about fun.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
