The oldest gun in the collection is a 14th-century hand-held cannon made at about the same time gun powder was invented. Another gun in the collection, the Texas Patterson Colt made in 1839, is the first full-sized revolver manu factured by Colt. The gun’s serial number is “1.” The same model was used by Texas Rangers. A&M displays French Le Mant guns, which hold 10 rounds of am munition and were used by Confed erate officers during the Civil War. Fenton said many of the guns are unique not for their monetary value, but because of the stories behind them. For example, A&M owns the guns used by Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, as well as a pair of dueling pistols that were donated with a lock of hair, probably be longing to the duel’s loser. A pair of Japanese daggers from World War II can also be seen at the center. Another exhibit, The Sam Houston Sanders Commemorative Collection, was donated by Sanders, Class of ’23. Sanders collected at least one of every commemorative gun made by Colt, including several made specifi cally for A&M. Mike Ascuncion, a senior envi ronmental design major and com mander of the Corps Center Guard, said the Sanders commem orative collection is one of the most complete in the world. The Corps center has a represen tative of each gun ever used by the Corps, displayed by historical period. Fenton said many people tour the center to see the gun collection. “We take children on tours like a history lesson and tell them about gun safety and appreciation of antique things,” Fenton said. The gun collection was on dis play in the MSC before the Corps center was built seven years ago. The collection is now so large that all of the guns cannot be displayed in the center at the same time. They can be viewed at the Corps center Monday through Fri day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Campus Thursday • February 29,13| Holocaust Continued from Page 1 In the Fall of 1994, Myers met with library administrators to discuss his concerns that the materials were being listed with other legitimate historical accounts. Although Myers wanted the books com pletely removed from the shelves, the parties reached a compromise, classifying the mate rials as fiction and listing them as erroneous interpretations of Jewish historiography. “It is not quite what I prefer, but it is bet ter than shelving it as a Holocaust work,” Meyers said. "It would not be cen sorship, because cen sorship is enforced by a government." — David Myers associate professor of English He said that though he wants the library to go further and list the books as anti-Semit ic works, he believes the library is making an honest effort to improve the situation. “The library followed it up with an effort to strengthen up the Holocaust coPection,” he said. “They managed to turn a defect into a surplus." During negotiations about what to do with the books, the parties raised the issue of cen sorship. Heath said library administrators did not want to remove the books because it would strip the library of its diversity. Myers, however, disagreed. “It would not be censorship, because censor ship is enforced by a government,” Myers said. “As long as Butz has any other way to publish, it is not a monopoly of force. The library is not the only access; therefore, it is not censorship. For example, he said, if a book on any other subject was scientifically false, librarians woulj not even consider putting it on the shelves. “If an English book is wrong, then it shoiii be out of the library,” he said. “Butz contribute to a literature of lies.” Krammer, who teaches a history course abon Nazi Germany, said that if the books mait derogatory statements against any other etkit group, there would be protest. “I abhor censorship, but those books repre sent trash,” Krammer said. “If thebookssaij women were inferior or blacks were not impor tant, there would be an immediate outcry." Myers said he objects to the manipulate of historical fact to serve the agenda of anti Semites. "Holocaust denial has become a questionii:| scholarly interest,” Myers said. “Itisawayto suppress and deny evidence. It is pure anti ; Semitism. It neVer dies, it just takes differ ent forms, such as Holocaust denial and h i tred of the Israel nation. “Nobody who makes an anti-Semitic state ment is looked at seriously, so they try to da guise it to make the statement more reputable' Rabbi Peter Tarlow from the Hillel Pout dation said the materials have no right to be S on the shelves. "They (revisionists) have no basis,” Tarb said. “It is like saying Paris is in France,butte [ plus two is six. “It is an academic liberty to express your opinion, but not to lie. It destroys the credibility of a university because it is a lie. It turns atmi versity into a mockery.” Myers said he will continue the fight to keep revisionist literature like the material publishe:I by the 1HR from becoming mainstream. "We are beginning to lose survivors, andsoo: there will be no witnesses left,” Myers saii “These books are an attempt to steal the met sage of the Holocaust. “Krammer and I remain vigilant. We doub- check and keep track of the books that the 1: brary acquires.” He said he has monitored the library and feels optimistic that it will continue to present- factual account of the Holocaust. "It has made me aware of how much empha sis the library is giving to trying to get mor; Holocaust books,” he said. Economy Continued from Page 1 Regents, most future economic growth in Bryan-College Station will come from elsewhere. Frank Murphy, an economic developer with the Bryan-College Station Economic Development Corporation, said A&M is the anchor of the two cities, making up one-third of their economies. Because A&M’s growth will be hin dered by the student enrollment cap, Murphy said, Brazos County must be aggres sive in recruiting new industries. He said that an industry such as Sander son Farms Inc., a poultry processing plan ( currently under construction in Brazos Coun ty, will create as many as 1,400job when it opens in the middleo; 1997. He said many of these posi tions will probably be filledby; A&M veterinary medicine ant poultry science graduates. Taylor said that maintaining: healthy economy is beneficialt! students as well as the two cities j “The more the University im, pacts the community and its e«- j my,” he said, “the more goods andser j vices become available to the student AGGIE PREVIEW 7 Nights a week 9 p.m. ’til 11 p.m. $1 00 You call it and Draft NO COVER 500 South Texas, Bryan For information call 82-BUCKY
