Professor lectures on world war
By Neil Feldman
Staff Reporter
World War II must be approached
from a global perspective, instead of
as several individual crises, a histori
an said Thursday.
Gerhard Weinberg, a history pro
fessor at the University of North Caro
lina, lectured to about 100 people at
Love Library on Thursday afternoon.
His lecture was based on his upcom
ing 1,200-page book, “A World at
Arms: A Global History of World
War.”
Weinberg took the audience
through a synopsis of Adolph Hitler’s
strategies and the global impact of the
Holocaust.
The battles of the Eastern Front
and the Nazi problem, Weinberg said,
must be considered as one titanic con
flict.
He also said Hitler’s foreign poli
cy, particularly toward the Soviet
Union, must not be dismissed when
looking at the war from a global per
spective.
Weinberg addressed several con
troversial issues, most notably Hitler’s
plan to march on Moscow.
“The primary reason Hitler could
not reach Moscow,” Weinberg said,
“was because of the poor weather.”
Many historians point only to the
rugged terrain, Weinberg said, and do
not address the weather.
Bom in Germany, Weinberg spent
the first year of World War II in
England and later served in the U.S.
Army.
After earning his doctorate from
the University of Chicago, Weinberg
worked on Columbia U n i versi ty’s W ar
Documentation Project and directed
the American Historical Association’s
program for the microfilming of cap
tured German documents.
Aside from writing numerous books
about World War II, Weinberg also
found and edited Hitler’s second book.
“By 1943,” Weinberg said, “the
systematic killing of Jews in Europe
was well under way.”
While the calamities of the Holo
caust have already been well docu
mented by historians, Weinberg said
certain aspects of the crisis, such as
the efforts by Hitler to send Asian
Jews to concentration camps, had
hardly been touched.
“There were several efforts to run
German vessels to Asian islands and
bring the Jews and gypsies of the
islands back to mainland Europe,” he
said.
However, most of these efforts were
quashed before they could get rolling,
Weinberg said.
While the Nazis tremendously
amplified racism, he said, modem
problems concerning prejudices and
racism do not all stem from World
Warll.
Smokers at UNL partake
in nationwide Smoke Out
UHC, health aides
offers assistance
By Ann Stack
Staff Reporter
UNL smokers cleared the air Thurs
day during the Great American Smoke
Out. Sponsored by the American Can
cer Society, the Smoke Out encourag
es smokers to quit smoking for 24
hours.
David Bower, prevention special
ist in community health at the Univer
sity Health Center, said the center
offered brochures on quitting, as well
as buttons and posters.
One of the brochures has informa
tion about a program called Adopt a
Smoker.
Bower said the program was a
buddy system where a smoker could
cnl ist the help of a friend or relative to
abstain from cigarettes for the day.
Health aides at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln also adopted stu
dent smokers in the residence halls
and greek houses Thursday, Bower
said. Bower said 136 students partic
ipated in the health aide Adopt-a
Smokcr program last year.
“People don’t realize how many
students’ lives the health aides can
touch,” he said.
Sasha Shepard, a health aide for
the eighth floor at Pound Residence
Hall, adopted a student to help him get
through the day.
“I heard about this in my health
aide class, and a friend in my speech
class volunteered to quit for the day,”
Shepard said.
Shepard, a junior business admin
istration major, said he took his friend
to lunch and a movie to distract him
from smoking.

ing gum, celery or even a straw.
The Great American Smoke Out
was created by Arthur P. Mullaney in
1971.
Mullaney organized the event in
his hometown in Massachusetts. He
encouraged community members to
give up cigarettes for a day and to
donate the money saved from not
buying cigarettes to a high school
scholarship fund, Bower said.
The trend spread to other states,
and smokers quitting on the third
Thursday of November has become a
national event, Bower said.
“Smoking is the No. 1 cause of
preventable deaths in America to
day,” Bower said. “There are over
400,000 smoke-related deaths every
year.
“The event has the purpose of re
ducing the ranks of serious smokers.
By quitting for 24 hours, they will
experience success, which will hope
fully lead them to give up the habit
permanently.”
Bower said he did not know the
number ofUN L students or staff mem
bers participating in the Smoke Out.
In 1992, he said, about 3.3 million
Americans quit smoking during the
event.
UNL can give phone books the drop
From Staff Reports
Students wanting to get rid of their old
Lincoln telephone books have an alternative to
just throwing them away. Several recycling
drop sites will be located on the UNL campus.
Recycling containers for old phone books
will be placed in the breezeway between the
north and south wings of Love Library, and in
various spots at the University of Nebraska
Lincoln residence halls, Dale Ekart, recycling
coordinator, said.
The Lincoln Telephone Company will be
distributing new phone books within a week.
The containers should be in place by Friday
and will remain until Dec. 10.
The old telephone books will be shredded
and used locally for animal bedding, Ekart said.
