Boston University administration had a mixed reaction to the popular ‘Der Printergang’ YouTube video protesting the 100-page print quota, Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore said.’ The video, which uses a scene from the 2004 movie ‘Der Untergang,’ (The Downfall), adds subtitled student concerns about the print quota during part of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s rampage. Created by anonymous YouTube user derprintergang, the less than four minute video had more than 9,500 views at press time.’ Elmore, who discussed the video in his blog on Wednesday, said while it is creative, he has qualms about creativity through Nazi imagery.’ ‘I love the great commentary,’ he said. ‘I’ve always loved remixing. [But] it portrays students as Nazis and I question that. ‘My hackles are up a little bit when there’s Nazi imagery,’ he said.’ However, he acknowledged that the Internet allows a different community for students to discuss important issues. ‘I love it,’ he said. ‘I hope more of that happens. We’re a neighborhood. I think neighbors play the dozens with each other.” Head of Student Union’s Printing Task Force Anant Shukla he has seen the viral video and the original movie and found the comparison funny. ‘The Union standpoint is an appreciation that there is an indigenous student view about the print quota and it’s not just the Union trying to make an issue of it,’ he said. ‘Students are genuinely concerned about it and want it addressed.’ Shukla, a College of Arts and Sciences senior, said the makers of the video did a good job at addressing the facts and the general student viewpoint about the quota.’ ‘I think that speaks highly on how students feel about it and really brings it to the forefront of the administration’s agenda,’ he said. ‘It’s good knowing that the administration has seen this video and they know the indigenous students feel this way.” John Bavlisik, chairman of the Technology Committee and member of the Printing Taskforce, said he has seen the particular ‘Der Untergang’ scene used for many other satirical purposes and it is more important to note the message rather than the tool used. ‘Everyone I’ve spoken to, especially among the tech circles, thinks it’s hysterical,’ Bavlisik, a CAS junior, said. ‘The take away message is not that it’s Hitler, but that it’s students who are concerned about an issue that is very pertinent and taking the initiative to speak about it.’ Bavlisik emphasized that the Union does not officially endorse the video, but appreciates the sentiment.’ ‘ Most students who saw the video said they found it entertaining. ‘It wasn’t offensive,’ CAS sophomore Allison Sebastiani said. ‘You can see how Hitler was f—ed up and so is this [print quota].” CAS sophomore Sean Breen said he saw the video on someone’s Facebook. ‘Whenever you have Hitler thrown into the mix, people are going to think it’s offensive,’ he said. ‘I don’t have anything against it, if it’s kept in good taste.” College of Engineering sophomore Alex Walco said she can see why someone would make the video, and she thought the video was funny. ‘I didn’t take it too seriously,’ she said.’ Staff reporter Liz McShane contributed to the reporting of this article.
