[NU Sports] No ifs and and, hopefully, no Butz

[John A. DeGroat]

I raised that question a number of years ago and got the usual  BS about 
being tenured and that what he says hs nothing to do with electrical 
engineering.  The real question is why was as he given tenure in the 
first place.

At the end of World War II, my dad who was a pathologist in the Army 
Medical Corps was supposed to go into Buchenwald and gather medical 
evidence for the Nuremberg trials.  As it turned out, he had so many 
points that they shipped him home for discharge otherwise I doubt that 
he would have gotten home before 1946.  I take offense at guys like 
Butz.  Eisenhower was smart when he had the signal corps take pictures 
at all of the concentration camps that we liberated.  He reasoned that 
after a few years, there would be people denying that they ever 
existed.  I also take offense at Bernardine Dohrn being on teaching at 
the law school, but taht is another story.  Keeping people like that 
around gives Northwestern a bad name.
