University recognizes Sept. 11 anniversary By ANDREW COLLINS and ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

On a day when people across the nation and around the world commemorated the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the University observed the tragedy Wednesday with a host of memorial services. As organizers had planned, the day’s events took on a somber and low-key tone. Attendance at most of the events was high, including several hundred people who attended the noon memorial service in front ofthe Chapel. The observances began with a tribute at the Duke University Museum of Art. Dean of the Chapel Will Willimon delivered an invocation, followed by remarks from President Nan Keohane and Aimee Molloy, Trinity ’94, who discussed an exhibit of photographs taken of spontaneous artistic memorials. “Today we remember the Duke alumni who died in the attacks, and the tens of thousands of others who were affected by those events,” Keohane said. “Today we salve wounds, seek closure, vent, attempt to understand—and today we stand together.” At 8:46 a.m., a Chapel bell chimed once, signaling the exact time the first plane hit the World Trade Center last year. The solitary bell served as a poignant reminder of the Sept. 11 events, catching most people off-guard at first, but becoming JEN SONG, JOHN MILLER, SAM MORGAN/THE CHRONICLE more anticipated as the morning went on.

Religious services comfort community By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle

Members of the Duke community flocked to a series of denominational and interfaith services Wednesday, as part of the Uni-

versity-wide commemoration ofSept. 11. Participants from all walks of life at Duke seeking to honor the memory of the attacks’ victims filled the seats of religious venues and classrooms to pray, to sing, to discuss and to reflect. “Our read was that this was not a day for speeches and red tape, but a day for remembrance, meditation and prayer,” said Dean ofthe Chapel Will Willimon. Willimon, along with leaders from several of the University’s religious groups, sponsored a variety of events that began with a day-long period of spiritual songs and reflection at the Hospital Chapel. On the University’s campus, many students stopped briefly to attend hourly prayer readings by religious life staff in

the Duke Chapel. “During times like these, people surprise themselves in their need for spirituality. Even though I’m not a religious person, I am a spiritual person, and the tradition and sense of community I find at church is a real comfort,” said sophomore Claire Herminjard The highlight of the morning for many took place in the Divinity School’s York Chapel, where Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe professor of theological ethics, delivered a sermon on the religious implications of Sept. 11. Speaking before a crowd composed mostly of Divinity School students and staff, Hauerwas spoke about similarities between the time just after the crucifixion of Christ and the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. He referred to See RELIGION on page 7

Faculty gather to offer insight By APARNA KRISHNASWAMY The Chronicle

One year after faculty and students assembled at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy to react to the events of Sept. 11, a follow-up panel of five professors held a forum Wednesday night to present different perspectives ofthe attacks. Bruce Jentleson, director of the institute, said the event has left Americans with a sense of vulnerability and made them

realize “that foreign policy matters.” He introduced the panel of professors, who spoke on how Sept. 11 has changed the way we look at foreign policy, bioterrorism, law and language. Bruce Kuniholm, a professor of public policy and history who was a foreign policy advisor in the Jimmy Carter administration, said the United States’ current foreign policy is not multilateral enough. “Like his father, [President]

World remembers Sept. 11 attacks One year later, Americans come together to commemorate the nation’s loss By JAMES BARRON and TERENCE NEILAN

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK A year after terrorists commandeered four commercial jetliners and took aim at some of the

quintessential symbols of American wealth and power, the nation paused Wednesday to mark a traumatic anniversary with solemn public ceremonies and countless private moments. As crowds gathered where the twin towers ofthe World Trade Center once soared a quarter of a mile into the sky above lower Manhattan, people remembered another sunny late-summer day, a day that turned tragic at the hands of hijackers armed with ordinary box cutters and a ruthless un-

derstanding of how to turn airplanes into missiles. As bells tolled and bagpipes played “Amazing Grace,” people reflected on how the nation had changed in the year since Sept. 11 and in the months since the Pentagon countered by sending troops to Afghanistan in pursuit of the shadowy terrorist network the government

blamed for the attacks. The three sites—at ground zero in lower Manhattan, at the restored Pentagon outside Washington and at a quiet field in rural Pennsylvania—became reminders of the patriotism

that surged through the United States a year ago. From ground zero to Southern California, bells were rung, candles were lit, patriotic songs

were sung. There were cannon volleys and 21-gun salutes and, above all, remembrances of the more than 3,000 victims killed on Sept. 11. “Though they died in tragedy, they did not die in vain,” the president said at the Pentagon. “Their loss has moved a nation to action in a cause to defend other innocent lives across the world.” Clenching his right hand into a fist, he added, “As long as terrorists and dictators plot against our lives and our liberty they will be opposed by the United States Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Marines.” But this Sept. 11 reminded many Americans ofhow secure they had felt

Global security increased on anniversary By ROHAN SULLIVAN Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia The world went on terror alert Wednesday, as memories of Sept. 11 one year ago intensified fears of mounting but unconfirmed threats of new sneak attacks. US. embassies and those of America’s closest allies closed in nine countries, all but one ofthem in Asia or the Middle East. Police and troops with automatic rifles, sometimes backed by armored vehicles, patrolled outside diplomatic compounds. Jitters over feared terrorism caused increased security at airports, government and private offices—including the world’s tallest buildings, Kuala Lumpur’s twin towers—American social clubs, tourist spots and other likely targets.

Concerns appeared deepest in Southeast Asia, a region sometimes labeled a second front in the U.S.-led international fight against terrorism because of the presence of al Qaeda-linked Islamic extremist groups in Indonesia, the

Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. The United States signed an anti-terrorism pact with the region’s government’s last month and has sent military trainers to the Philippines. It was disclosed Wednesday that the United States warned Southeast Asian governments that terrorists could use truck bombs to mark the anniversary. Six US. diplomatic offices in the region—embassies in Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam and consulates in Indonesia and Vietnam—were closed Wednesday and most would remain closed indefinitely while security was reassessed, officials said.

Law profs discuss security policies By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

The School of Law hosted a forum yesterday where three professors considered the legality of several U.S. policies that have emerged in the aftermath of last

year’s terrorist attacks. Scott Silliman, director of the Center for Law, Ethics and National Security, spoke on the United States’ treatment of those detained in connection with the attacks. Silliman criticized holding non-resident aliens at Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay and said he was disturbed by the possibility that they will be prosecuted by military commission. If the prosecution takes place outside the United States, federal courts have no jurisdiction to review the denial ofhabeas corpus—the right to be protected

from illegal imprisonment. “So where will we have commissions if we have them?” Silliman asked. “Why are we building and enlarging the facilities at Guantanamo Bay, which is in Cuban sovereign territory?” In addition, Silliman questioned President George W. Bush’s decision that members of al Qaeda and

the Taliban are not prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention and therefore are not entitled to the benefits under the convention. Linking the current situation with Iraq to the attacks against Afghanistan in the months immediately following Sept. 11, Associate Professor of Law Michael Byers examined the legitimacy of U.S. retaliation under international law. “The United States was quite clearly going to attack al Qaeda and the Taliban regardless of what international law said, but it was quite clear... that they would do so more effectively if they could carry a large number of allies with them,” Byers said. The United States garnered international support for its attacks

right of a preemptive strike or covers the case of imminent threat. “At the moment it’s difficult to argue that [Bush’s claim that preemptive strikes are justified] is consistent with existing international law,” Byers said. “This is absolutely crucial... because it determines whether the United States’ traditional allies will support the United States in any such action.” Madeline Morris, professor of law, spoke on proper jurisdiction over crimes of terrorism, asking whether they fall within the arena of international criminal law enforcement. Morris noted that states are often the targets or sponsors of terrorism, inherently biasing such states’ judicial processes regarding terrorism. This adds the complications of political biases to domestic jurisdiction. “The impulse to internationalize justice processes in the area is an understandable—perhaps logical—response to the recognition that crimes of terrorism have a political component, and that crimes of international terrorism have an international political component,” Morris said.

against Afghanistan by invoking the right to retaliate against an armed attack as outlined in Article 51 of the United Nations charter. In this case, the U.S. applied the definition of an armed attack to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. The controversy over the U.S. right to attack in Iraq, however, stems from the ambiguity over whether Article 51 precludes the

Instructors vary incorporation of Sept. 11 into classes The Chronicle

Despite a University request that professors try to incorporate the Sept. 11 anniversary into their Wednesday classes, the extent to which the commemoration became a topic of class discussion varied greatly. When University officials decided not to cancel classes for the anniversary of the attacks, they encouraged faculty members to integrate the day into discussions but also gave professors total liberty in doing so. The results ranged from complete dedication of class time to not even a mention of Sept. 11. At one extreme was Professor of Political Science Peter Feaver, who dedicated his Political Science 93 international relations’ class time and space to a political science forum, in which he and three other professors

PoliSci professors Police dedicate flagpole to victims debate U.S. policy By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

Duke University Police Department officers and their guests gathered at police headquarters Wednesday morning to dedicate their new flagpole to the victims of Sept. 11. “We are honoring the memory of our fallen colleagues during the tragic [events of Sept. 11],” Duke University Police Chief Clarence Birkhead

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Four political science stars came together Wednesday to discuss how the United States’ role in the world has changed since the attacks a year earlier. Associate Professor of Political Science Peter Feaver, Director of the Terry Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy Bruce Jentleson and James B. Duke Professor of Political Science Robert Keohane headed a 50minute panel discussion for the political science department and quickly discussed a variety of points—from the root causes of the events to possible future policy decisions to what this means now. “The world hasn’t changed,” said Feaver, who was on sabbatical in London last year during the attacks. “The United States has just joined the world for the first time.” Keohane, an authority on international security, said that the attacks were the product of an increasingly globalized world, where countries interact with one another without a centralized governing power, and that the potential for terrorism was likely to remain in today’s world. “The attack on 9/11 was an example of globalization of informal violence, though it is often not seen that way,” Keohane said. “Nine-eleven helps us recognize the multi-faceted nature of globalism, and that globalism is what we as human beings make ofit.” True to his public policy background, Jentleson argued for increased U.S. involvement overseas, both militarily and otherwise. The United States needs to tend to both its “Sept. 11 agenda,” which includes the taming of terrorism, and its “Sept. 10 agenda,” which he said was those international goals on the docket before the attacks. “We have won the battles in Afghanistan, but we have not yet won the war,” he said. “We will not win the war unless we win peace.” Feaver said the Bush administration had reacted to the attacks well so far, as it has responded both defensively and offensively. He added, however, that it needed to improve its relations with other countries and groups. Michael Gillespie, professor of political science, opened the panel discussion with his memories of Peter Ortale, Trinity ’B7, who died in the south tower last year. Gillespie said the former lacrosse player was one of his most memorable students. See POLITICAL SCIENCE on page 6

said before the ceremony. The DUPD staff collectively decided to dedicate the flagpole and to commemorate the people who were affected by Sept. 11 in a small, intimate ceremony instead of publicizing the event to attract more people. “There are so many different activities today, and we didn’t want to cause people to be overextended,” police spokesperson Maj. Robert Dean said. “People have other commitments.” Birkhead began the ceremony by discussing the meaning of the American flag, saying it represents the values and traditions of “freedom, equality and

opportunity.” “We assemble here today on 9/11, a day we will all remember when 70 law enforcement [officers died],” he said. “We all hold the flag dear and see the cost if it is not protected, served and guarded.” After Rev. Anne Hodges-Copple gave the invocation, the DUPD honor guard presented the colors. The flag was solemnly raised and then lowered to half-mast to commemorate those who died Sept. 11. Birkhead then dedicated the flag to the “courage, service and unselfishness of the

James Schwab shared a tribute to the victims of Sept. 11 after the singing of the national anthem and the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. “We salute the heroes who returned, and we remember those who did not return,” Schwab said. “[The officers] serve, protect and defend democracy and the principles and values we live f0r.... We honor those who cherish liberty greater than life.” Birkhead made the final remarks. “We have a renewed sense of dedication and devotion,” he said. “[We want to] preserve the peace.” Hodges-Copple ended the ceremony with a benediction. Veronica Parker, whose husband Maj. Bumice Parker sang the national anthem, called Wednesday’s ceremony “heartwarming.” “Basically, what happened on 9/11 was senseless,” Parker said. “[The ceremony] is away to help.”

Fuqua officials Durham honors security personnel criticize rankings By LAURA BEACH The Chronicle

Although the Sept. 11 attacks immediately targeted New York and Washington, D.C., their effects were felt profoundly in Durham, and a year after the tragedy the Durham community honored local servicemen and women Wednesday morning. At a ceremony at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, several local leaders showed their appreciation to firefighters, police officers, paramedics and military personnel who provide security for citizens every day. “I proclaim Sept. 11 as Patriots’ Day in Durham,” said Mayor Bill Bell, who called the day an “annual celebration in promotion of global peace, America’s perseverance and patriotism.” Country artist Joe Don Silvers performed at the beginning of the ceremony, followed by a procession of honorees who then entered the stadium. They stood in uniform and faced the crowd as the Durham Police Choir sang the national anthem. Les Dash, former state commander of the American Legion and the master of ceremonies, expressed thanks to the many men and women who work daily to protect American citizens and whose “professions are inherently dangerous.” Those risks are acceptable, however, said Firefighter Union President Kelly McAlexander, who praised emergency workers’ willingness to endanger their lives. “Firefighters sincerely look forward to doing their job and helping citizens,” McAlexander said. “Three hundred, forty-three firefighters lost their lives in New York City. It was the greatest display of courage in the fire department service.” Andy Miller, president of the Police Benevolent Association, also praised the servicemen for their bravery. “As we looked through our pain, we saw one bright ray of sunshine in the response by emergency agencies,” Miller said. “In an area where most people were fleeing, firemen, police and port authority officers were racing to their deaths.”

By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle

The Wall Street Journal has ranked the Fuqua School of Business as the 25th best business school in the nation, a significant jump from a 44th ranking last year. Despite the increase, however, many in the Fuqua community felt the ranking—only in its second year—was inaccurate and the research poorly conducted. “It’s not reflective at all [of the master of business administration program],” said Dan Nagy, associate dean for MBA program operations. “Other surveys like BusinessWeek and US. News and World Report, who have been doing this longer, are far more accurate with ranking the business schools. [The Wall Street Journal’s] methodology has major flaws and is fairly new.” Douglas Breeden, dean of Fuqua, addressed the ranking in an e-mail sent out Monday to the Fuqua community. He referred to the rankings of several other top schools: Harvard University (No. 9), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 30), the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles (No. 36), Stanford University (No. 39) and the London Business School (No. 45). “I have always urged the Fuqua community to keep rankings such as this in their proper perspective, and that advice is highly relevant today,” Breeden wrote. The ranking was based on how business recruiters rated each school on 26 characteristics, as well as the number of respondents who said they recruited at a given school. Dartmouth College’s Tuck School was ranked first for the second year in a row. According to the article See FUQUA on page 8

MaryAnn Black, chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners, echoed Miller’s praise. “We saw a new set of heroes emerge. They were our firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement officers,” she said. “Our public servants put their lives on the line for us everyday.” The ceremony concluded with a presentation of a flag on behalf of the American Legion to honor the servicemen of the city and county of Durham. Many Durham residents said they went to the park to honor their military and emergency workers, to show their patriotism and to come together as a community. “We’re proud to be Americans and wanted to pay respect for our country and folks that have served and passed away on Sept. 11,” local resident Mike Hight said. Another resident, Stacy Webb, took her two daughters out of school to see their father, a firefighter, participate in the ceremony. “I felt it was important for them to see what he stands for and to support him,” Webb said. Later in the day, other local residents commemorated the Sept. 11 anniversary with a more intimate interfaith prayer service. About 50 people attended Durham’s ArRazzaq Islamic Center. “I came to come and honor people who serve our

community,” Rashad Rahman said. “Service workers should be honored more often.” While many attendees stressed the importance of service workers, the ceremony also addressed the treatment of Muslims and awareness of Islam, issues that have emerged in the Islamic community after Sept. 11. Abdur-Raheem Muhammed said while he is aware

that negative sentiments have been directed toward many Islamic followers, the strong outside support from the city has carried much more weight. “Before Sept. 11 we were doing interfaith services,” Muhammed said. “But the [Sept. 11] event has brought us new friends.” Melissa Soucy contributed to this story.

Quilligan noted that while it once referred to a government that ruled by intimidation to exercise its power, as in the French Revolution, the word’s meaning changed in the 20th century to encompass “anyone who attempts to further his views through acts of violence.”

She explained that the current administration has

focused its war efforts more on specific states that associate with terrorism rather than the actual people who directly carry out attacks. “The term, after Sept. 11, has gone back to the old definition, since we now place so much emphasis on state-sponsored terrorism,” she said.

The forum, “The Impact of 9/11 on America’s Role in the War,” took the place of Reaver’s scheduled international relations class, Political Science 93, in the White Lecture Hall at 1:10 p.m. Reaver required the class to attend and advocated that others in the 200plus person crowd also pursue an education in political science. “Since I teach international relations, I could probably be sued for malpractice if I ignored [Sept. 11],” Reaver said. “In class, I give them the analytical tools for examining current events and international relations, and this gives them an opportunity to apply them.”

And so the Sept. 11 anniversary was accompanied by doubt—doubt about the future, doubt that the government has done enough to protect the nation against future attacks. About half of the people questioned last week for a New York Times/CBS News Poll said the George W.

tacking Iraq in an anticipatory measure due to the mere possibility of Saddam Hussein possessing weapons of mass destruction,” he said. “Until the threats of using these weapons have been made explicit and the evidence of their existence is certain, the predicate of self-defense against Iraq does not exist,” he added. Silliman expressed disapproval toward the Bush administration’s attitude in labeling prisoners of war and unlawful combatants. Dr. Barton Haynes, professor and chair of the Department of Medicine and director of the Human Vaccine Institute, talked about the new and real threat of terrorism. “The tragic event has made us realize that bioterrorism is a reality, that we live in a global community in which the health of others is critical to our wellbeing, and that cooperation on bioterrorism prevention research must be a collaborative effort,” he said. About 120 students attended, and they responded with feedback through questions. “A lot of people are really cynical when they talk about Sept. 11,” said sophomore Shiying Lee. “It is enlightening to know there are people who have put a lot of thought into this and have engaged in the issues [Sept. 11] has made us face.”

from terrorism before Sept. 11. Those questioned also said, by a 2-to-l margin, that the administration had made “some” rather than “a lot” of progress in making air travel safe. For many who mourned the victims of the Sept. attacks, there was also a sense that too little had 11 changed in a bureaucracy that missed clues to the hijackings. Even as Congress and the administration squabble over what a homeland security agency should do and who should workfor it, there was concern that the terrorists remained far ahead of the intelligence organizations that have been trying to penetrate it. “There’s not a mood of peace here,” Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said at the World Trade Center site. “There’s a mood of dedication and admiration, but also a feeling we have a lot more to do to tighten up security here and make the world safe.”

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER

MEMORIAL SERVICES...page i Later, in the West-Edens Link Quadrangle, the University paid tribute to the six alumni who died in the attacks by planting six magnolia trees and ringing a Chapel bell six more times. Keohane, who was joined by several other senior University officials, said the trees were an appropri-

ate memorial for those lost as they would serve to connect past generations with future generations of Duke students. The memorial services continued at noon, with another ceremony in front of the Chapel sponsored by Duke Student Government and the Foundation for the Defenses of Democracies, honoring the heroes of the rescue effort last year. Keohane set a somber but hopeful tone with her opening remarks. “On this occasion of national remembrance, we relive last year’s grief, patriotic pride and danger—but with a difference,” she said. “We stir up our most painful emotions not in order to exorcise the ghosts of the men and women who died, but to let their spirits rouse us, the living, to further efforts by whose light we can create and sustain a better world.”

Other speakers at the service included Durham Fire Chief Otis Cooper, Durham Interim Police Chief Steve Chalmers, Duke Student Government President Joshua Jean-Baptiste, Duke Police Chief Clarence Birkhead and former actor Matthew Lawrence. The emotional highlight for many came at the end of the program, when Lawrence, who experienced the World Trade Center attacks firsthand, delivered a narrative account of the attacks. Several times, he nearly choked up with tears, and at one point he seemed unable to continue. A spontaneous ovation from the audience helped him conclude his speech. “It’s too bad that it took a tragedy like this for us all to say that we will never, ever, take those people for granted,” Lawrence said. Ed Burmeister, research professor of economics, was highly impressed with Lawrence. “I was having lunch with some colleagues, and just heard a few words, and it was so captivating that I came out to hear the end ofit,” he said. Some in the audience said Lawrence’s speech stood out because he offered a personal perspective that diverged from the patriotic tone of many of the other speakers.

both as periods of great darkness “that changed the world for those who long to live without change.” Hauerwas’ presentation and other campus religious events met with a

mixed reaction. “Hauerwas’s service was the best attended service we have had all year,” said second-year Divinity School student Donna McFarland. “People came to express gratitude that we are still alive when others have perished. Yet, people tend to turn to God in times of tragedy when they wouldn’t normally.”

While many of the day’s participants found a sense of peace in religious activities, others thought they added to the turmoil surrounding the memory of the attacks. “People come to church looking for comfort. But the Christian message instead poses a challenge. Faith does not

take away your problems. Church is not a place to hide from evil,” said Austin Hornyak, a first-year Divinity School student. Campus religious leaders emphasized the interfaith component of the day, and activities were by no means limited to Christian services. The Muslim Student Association held a brief interfaith service outside Building P with readings from the Qur’an, silent prayer and time for discussion. “Many of the Muslim students on campus have had to bear an extra burden after the attacks of September 11,” Sadaf Raja, co-president of the Muslim Student Association, wrote in an e-mail. “In addition to feeling the grief from the horrific attacks, we were forced to constantly defend and explain our peaceful religion. “We decided to hold a memorial event—for the victims of the September 11 attacks, and also for ourselves; to reflect upon what we, as Muslims, have struggled with over the past year.”

“I liked the last speech the best,” said senior Margaret Gleason. “The other ones were good in saying it’s important to remember the events, but I didn’t really like the fact they were so ‘American pride.’” Sophomore Justin Segall, who played a major role in organizing the memorial service, said he aimed for a subdued approach. The event was co-sponsored by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a non-partisan think tank based in Washington, D.C., and DSG. Segall, who began a year-long fellowship at FDD this summer, initiated the project last May with the encouragement of FDD. “We wanted to follow what was going on in New York,”he said. “There’s a memorial, but it’s very simple.” Some said they wished the University had made a greater commitment to marking the Sept. 11 anniversary. “I don’t know how genuine their efforts were because they didn’t cancel classes,” sophomore Krupal Bhatt said. “It’s good PR, I guess.” Ginger Hawks, a second-year graduate student in allied health, felt that the ceremony was not adequately advertised. Still, Segall was pleased with the turnout and said the ceremony proceeded without a glitch. “I think it went as well as it possibly could,” he said.

accompanying the rankings, however, most of the top 10 were larger schools, since recruiters said they were treated with more respect and enjoyed greater success in hiring there. The article attributed the higher rankings for both Duke and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School to “strong mass-appeal scores” but added that recruiters made more complementary comments about both schools this year. Fuqua Associate Professor Carl Mela, who studied last year’s ranking along with Fuqua Professor John Lynch, said he found several problems with the methodology of the survey and began a preliminary analysis of this year’s rankings. “Large recruiters, who visit multiple schools, are only allowed to rank three of them,” Mela said. “As smaller recruiters typically recruit at fewer schools, they carry disproportionate weight in the survey because they can rate all the programs at which they re-

emit. Moreover, schools can still affect the rankings by providing the name of ‘close’ recruiters who visit only a few schools. The small sample size can increase the variability of results, leading to low reliability.” Mela also noted that the current system average recruiters’ rankings from last year with this year’s. He estimated that if the effects of the 2001 survey were eliminated, Duke would rank 13th on the list. “The bottom line is that the students who choose to attend Fuqua are of the

highest caliber; these students validate the fact that Fuqua is in the top tier of business schools and not No. 25,” wrote Greg Wurster, a second-year Fuqua student and representative to the Graduate and Professional Student Council, in an e-mail. The Sept. 9 article also ranked Fuqua eighth for recruitment of minority students, based on the number of nominations it received over the past two years from recruiters who visited campus. Harris Interactive Inc. conducted the study, but a representative could not be reached for comment.

Tributes Flounder...

The

life cycle of a tribute song is no big mystery: The initial shock of a tragedy makes pop-culture, the entertainment industry and its overpaid stars seem trivial—for about a minute. Once they are able to unglue themselves from their TV sets, 20,000 musicians trip over their guitars to be the first to crank out a suitable theme to encapsulate the sentiment—whether it be anger, despair, reflection or hope. The results are then thrown into radio's heavy rotation, played at a patriotic halftime show at the Super Bowl and eventually incorporated into a touching montage to be shown on primetime a year later. Voila—a musical mantra for the ages. Unfortunately, in this wild rush to create a soundtrack to sadness, true song quality was sacrificed, as only a handful of truly touching tributes emerged in the wake of the terrorist attacks. Perhaps it was the newness of the situation; I'd certainly never experienced anything that emotionally trying in my lifetime. It was a situation that could not be reconciled by Band-Aid's "DoThey Know it's Christmas?" or "Give

Neil Young's "Let's Roll" used the fateful catchphrase of Flight 93, but the song itself was mediocre. In an extreme case, G. Love and Special Sauce's "On 9.11.01" was simply too excruciatingly difficult to stomach —I think a five-year-old wrote that song. It's not that I fault these musicians for trying; it's just that a message of hope—when you need it the most —can still

Of all the responses undertaken by the music community to the events of Sept. 11, the most powerful act was not industrydriven. While executives scrambled to plan tribute albums and censor records deemed "inappropriate," individual radio programmers and listeners started spinning tracks that they felt would offer solace to a nation unnerved. As the songs continued to play, a soundtrack full of poignant reflections on tragedy and occasional glimmers of hope began to surface. Although it’s impossible to pinpoint a definitive track list because people possess such divergent musical tastes, several songs still evoke chills across preference lines a year later. Relying on a simple piano melody and powerful, yearning vocals, Jeff Buckley's eight-year-old cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was one of the first songs people popped in their tape decks after the attacks. Buckley's mournful expression of disillusionment and the loss of faith he experiences over the

The City

While most Duke students watched the tragic events of Sept. 11 from their dorm rooms and commons areas, a small group of students were just beginning the Duke in New York Arts Program. For this small group, the World Trade Center collapsed across the river from their Brooklyn Heights rooms. Two of these students from the fall 2001 semester, Katherine Thompson and Libbet Torbert, submitted their perspective on the events of Sept. 11 and the past year. The pieces are accompanied by a photo from fellow participant Jenny Robinson, Trinity 'O2.

Merchandising Marketeers Turn 9/11 Tricks calling a spade a spade

the wake of a tragedy, the need to be sensitive increases while the line that defines what is and is not sensitive blurres. On this anniversary of Sept. 11, can tell you one thing: The line has been crossed Last Sunday read the latest issue of Vogue and The New York Times' Sunday Styles section. Each publication was, as usual, filled with fashion ads. But as the anniversary of the attacks approaches, some companies have chosen to include post-Sept. 11 sentiments in their advertising. Kate spade is one company that encompasses the best and the worst of this marketing trend in their very different ads placed in each publication. Their ad in Vogue is a five page spread entitled "Visiting Tennessee." The pictures in the spread tell the story of the J.D. Salinger-inspired Lawrence family reuniting in New York City for a weekend. The ad romanticizes the city through the fictional Lawrences' weekend in the hope that people who see the ad will not only buy kate spade products, but will also come visit this magical New York City they are presented with. This ad not only promotes the importance of family, but also lends support to the campaign encouraging New York City tourism. In contrast, the ad which ran in the NewYork Times' Sunday Styles section presents the reader with a miniature word search, in which one is challenged to find .the terms hope, peace, friends, community, kale spa<k strength, family, courage, ar\d perseverance.

“New” has been a reoccurring theme for the football team this year; new season, new attitude, new training center, new goal posts. Now the Blue Devils can add one more to that list; new alcohol policy. The team’s new policy consists of a zero tolerancefor alcohol consumption Monday through Friday. After games on

By Mike Corey The Chronicle Fhe dust of the traveled road shall touch my hands face” goes the Carl Sandburg poem, and so it has been for iwestem fifth-year standout Jeff Roehl. A USA Today 'h school and college honorable mention All American, ehl has traveled several roads in his college football cat. Following his graduation from Carl Sandburg High 1001 in Roland Park, HI., Roehl traded in his gold and ie Eagles jersey for a more prestigious gold and blue—it of the richest college football tradition in the counv—Notre Dame football. After his freshman year in the shadow ofTouchdown fesus, Roehl decided to venture from one small town to another, opting for the dusty, less football-enriched Evanston, 111., over South Bend, Ind. “I wasn’t happy when I was a freshman, but it had nothing to do with football,” Roehl said. “I’m not entirely saying that it wouldn’t have worked out there, but my experience at Northwestern University has been great.”

See ALCOHOL on page 10

Donning the purple and white ofthe Wildcats would be

more of a euphemism for most blue chip recruits, but for Roehl, this road to Evanston has made all the difference. After sitting out the 1999 season because of transfer rules, Roehl has been the force behind Northwestern’s high octane offense. He has started in each ofhis 25 games for the Wildcats and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten and honorable mention All-America in 2001. The 6’4, 305 pound lineman was dubbed the 12th best offensive guard in the nation by The Sporting News. He was also listed on the same publication’s preseason All-Big Ten first team, and is a legitimate candidate for both All-

America and Outland Trophy honors. Winning such awards, however, would pale in comparison to a championship season, Roehl said. “You love to get individual honors but I put the team before anything,” he said. “There’s no doubt in my mind that I’d rather win a Big Ten championship.” Individual accolades may be Roehl’s only realistic goal in 2002, however. His Wildcats are off to a disappointing— See ROEHL on page 12

This year’s class was ranked in the top-20 in the country, and is highlighted by catcher Brian Hernandez, who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the eleventh round but opted instead to go to college. “The freshmen look very good,” Hillier said. “We’re finally getting to a point where I can bring the freshmen along more slowly, and not just throw

However, with all the team’s experience and depth, it was the highly-touted freshman Hernandez that best encapsulated the team’s enthusiasm. “I got drafted in the 11th round and I passed that up because I believe in the coaches and the program,” he said. “We have nowhere to go but up. The first two weeks have been awesome, I can’t explain how great it is to be here.”

doing a great job of doing it.” The idea for the policy was first started in the off-season when the leadership council of the team —made up of one player from each position—decided that the team needed a unified alcohol policy. “The reason we made [the policy] was for a symbolic gesture,” said junior linebacker Ryan Fowler, who added that originally there was some opposition within the team. “We decided that if it wasn’t a big problem to begin with, then it should be no problem to go and follow-through with the policy.”

would be a zero tolerance policy seven days a week until the first win of the season. There was more controversy on the team about the finality of this decision, but it was swept away with the victory against East Carolina in the first game ofthe year. So far, there have been no reported violations of the policy, and the team looks at it as a measure of clarity more than anything else. “It wasn’t that there was a problem before. We just wanted to make sure there was no confusion,” junior offensive tackle Drew Strojny said. There are no specific punishments for

However other players felt that it had not had much of an impact. “I’d say it’s been a non-factor, honestly,” Fowler said. “It wasn’t a big problem before, and it’s still not a problem now.” The team stressed that there was never an alcohol problem, and that the policy was drawn in order to clarify things. Many members of the team do not drink at all, and those that do are responsible, according to the players. “We got all spring to do what we want,” Small said. “Now is our time. Nobody needs to be out there drinking while we’re trying to win football games. If you’re dedicated, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

as limiting playing time. “It’s more of a subjective thing,” senior linebacker Jamyon Small said. “It

deals with playing time. Everybody wants to play. If you can’t follow the rules and be disciplined, then take your playing time away.” Many players on the team feel that the policy has helped unite the squad, and that unity played a significant factor in the win against ECU. “All kinds of stuff help win a football game,” Franks said. “Sometimes they’re little things, sometimes they’re big things. You can’t discount any of them.”

Monday. But most sporting events went on just as on almost any other day, despite the government’s decision to raise the United States’ security alert warning to “high risk.” Security was tight at afternoon baseball games, and crowds seemed smaller than usual. At Turner Field, where the Atlanta Braves played the New York Mets in a day-night doubleheader, only about 1,500 people had arrived a half-hour before the first game. But the day’s serious tone was never far away. Before the Dodgers-Giants game at Pac Bell Park, there was a tribute on the big screen on the centerfield scoreboard reading ”9.11.01 We will never forget,” with a series of black-and-white photos from the events of one year ago. Instead of a ceremonial first pitch, the ball was placed on the mound by a man whose father died in the attacks. Members of the San Francisco Fire Department tossed wreaths of white flowers into McCovey Cove from a fireboat outside the park. At the Pirates-Reds game, the first pitch was thrown out by 14-year-oldAndy Moskal, whose father, William, was killed at the World Trade Center. Fans at all games were given a T-shirt with an emblem featuring a red, white and blue ribbon, the major league baseball logo and the words “We Shall Not Forget.” That same emblem was displayed on the outfield fences, the bases and the lineup cards. There was to be a moment of silence at 9:11 p.m.

local time at all night games, with a videotape in memory ofthose who died in the attacks. During afternoon games, the moment of silence and video came during the seventh-inning stretch. “We’re here to play baseball, we’re here to entertain and we’re here to hopefully help people heal,” San Francisco Giants manager Dusty Baker said. A U.S. flag flown at the World Trade Center a year ago was raised outside Lambeau Field. At the U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo., seven white balloons floated into a gray sky as 100 athletes and officials surrounded the Olympic flame. There were similar observances throughout the world. English horse racing held a minute of silence at Doncaster, Epsom and Hereford, and jockeys wore black armbands. At Hereford, there was a three-minute ceremony of prayers and silence as the entire day’s racing was dedicated to the bond-trading firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost many employees in the World Trade Center. Record-holding jump jockey Tony McCoy donated his riding fees and prize money to the Cantor Fitzgerald UK relief fund, which was set up to support families of the 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died. In central England, officials observed silence at the Rockingham Speedway beside an oak tree planted in memory of the Sept. 11 victims. Cyclists in the Tour of Spain observed a moment of silence before Wednesday’s fifth stage. The U.S. national anthem played while the flags of the United States, Spain and the European Union were raised—all marked with black sashes.

ROEHL

from page 9

though not surprising—o-2 start. After being pummeled by Air Force and Texas Christian by a combined score of 100-27, the Wildcats are in desperate need of replacements for 14 starters from last season, nine of whom were selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. Neither Roehl nor fourth-year head coach Randy Walker are willing to concede a down year. “We don’t want to look at this as a rebuilding year,” Roehl said. “We’re going to win some football games. We want to have a winning season. I’m not going to tolerate losing.” Thus far, Roehl hasn’t had much choice, as the Wildcats’ inexperienced defense has surrendered 964 yards of offense to a pair of teams with lackluster of-

fenses at best. From tailback Darnell Autry in the mid-19905, to 2001 graduate and career rushing leader Damien Anderson, the Wildcats have been accustomed to relying on offensive potency. Now, with a still uncertain quarterback and running back situation, Northwestern’s lone standouts, Roehl and Rimmington Award candidate Austin King, spend most of their time crouching in the trenches. The duo is doing their utmost to pick their teammates up—including 26 freshmen who have already seen the field this year—in time for Duke Saturday and then a brutal Big Ten schedule that includes national powers Michigan State and Ohio State. The Wildcats refuse to be discouraged, as evidenced by Walker’s optimistic outlook after last weekend’s drubbing from Texas Christian. “I’m not chucking the season and saying, ‘Let’s be a better team in November,’” he said. “The heck with that now. Let’s be a better team next week.” That’s where Duke comes in. The Blue Devils, who lead the all-time series at 7-5, last defeated Northwestern in 1998. Since then, the Wildcats have dominated Duke, including last year’s shellacking led by Roehl, Northwestern’s offensive player ofthe game. “I hope we can contain him from having a huge game,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “He’s a good player. He’s a physical guy. He’s an athletic guy. We better be concerned about him.” Roehl, too, is wary ofthe vastly improved Duke defense under new defensive coordinator Ted Roof. “Duke’s a great football team that’s made a lot of improvement,” he said. “They always play hard and they got a good system,” So just as Tyrone Willingham cleans the tarnish from the Golden Dome, Roehl and his Wildcats are still sifting through the dark clouds of an eight game losing streak. When the fog moves on from little Wildcats feet, however, Roehl expects Northwestern to be a top 25 team once again. Or at least off the road to nowhere. Robert Samuel contributed to this story.

Letters to

the editor

—"s ‘Race, Sex and God’ seeks broad forum on diversity

Red light: Access denied

While

students weren’t looking, the administration made a change to the residential hall access policy, banning off-campus students from any access to on-campus dorms. Administrators never asked for student input before instituting this policy change and did not inform them when the new policy became effective. When making rules that affect students, it is a general principle to ask for student opinion before making the rule and then tell students about the rules before they are put into effect. Student backlash is absolutely justifiable, since there is not a single valid argument in support of maintaining the new policy. Consider the two main arguments advanced by Fidelia Thomason, director of Housing Management, in favor of the restrictive policy. The administration first argues that the policy is safer, preventing more people from accessing dorm rooms. In truth, the policy is less safe. Students who live offcampus, women in particular, must stand outside dorms waiting for somebody to let them in, exposing them to dangers, especially at night. Additionally, by seeking to decrease dorm access, administrators will actually increase it. Anybody can now believably claim to be an off-campus student and will be let into dorms by unsuspecting residents. Before the policy, only people who actually were affiliated with Duke could get into dorms, whereas now, absolutely anybody will be able to breach residential security. Furthermore, by restricting off-campus student access, the administration makes the insulting assumption that off-campus students are more dangerous than on-campus students. The threat posed to a resident ofKilgo Quadrangle by a resident of the Belmont apartments is no different than that posed by an on-campus resident. The administration’s second argument is that by restricting access, it is helping to build community. Yet, how can restricting access and therefore restricting interaction between individuals build community? A community consists ofpeople who have access to one another. But perhaps the administration thinks off-campus residents should not be part the Duke community. Should graduate students, faculty, administrators and employees, all ofwhom live off-campus, not be part ofthe Duke community? Of course not, the Duke community is broader than just students living on West, and that’s what makes it so vibrant. Another fallacious argument attacks the students choice to live offcampus, thus removing their right to be part ofthe community. Many students live off-campus because of the housing policy instituted last year that some students think inconvenienced many upper-class students out ofWest Campus. Moreover, off-campus housing can be both nicer and cheaper than on-campus dorms. Perhaps the administration’s real motivation in restricting cardaccess is to push the Duke social scene off-campus to a greater degree. If Duke’s only goal is to reduce its liability, this is an understandable move, but if Duke cares at all about its students’ safety or the quality ofsocial life at the University, as it obviously should, then the new DukeCard policy is counterproductive. Instead of forming policies about safety and community without communicating with students, the administration should ask students their opinion on the policy. Among administrators, this should not be a profound idea.

As student members of the “Beyond the Comfort Zone: Race, Sex and God” planning committee, we feel it is our duty to dispel the ignorant rhetoric spouted by Bill English in his column “Diversity will solve our problems? Please.” While English spat out faulty arguments leading to inaccurate conclusions, we will leave our personal grudges and political affiliations aside. Below we give an accurate picture of what “Race, Sex and God” refuting entails while English’s most egregious

on the planning committee—members include an

Emmy Award-winning film producer, nationally recog-

nized professors of African-

American Studies, Religion, and Ethics and a couple regular frat guys—have broadened the boundaries to incorporate the entire Duke community, adding sex and God to the list of issues involved—an ambitious goal, no doubt. We agree whole-heartedly with English that diversity isn’t a panacea for everything that is wrong about Duke, but there is much to gain from learning about differences in identity. As English points out, we were recently ranked as the “diversist of the diverse” and we would be foolish to not try to encourage interaction among the many peopie of different ethnicities,

misconceptions. This project never has been and never will be about the administration, but began as an honest discussion between a student and a professor about the issue of racial diversity in fraternities. Since its conception, the many (diverse) opinions

religions, etc., that attend this University. That is the overarching goal behind this project, not necessarily to resolve problems, but to foster honest dialogue and discussion. Maybe this dialogue will lead to bigger and better things, and maybe it won’t. Regardless, this is an opportunity for students to express their views about race, sex and God while simultaneously considering the perspectives of others. (Note to English: This creative competition is open to all perspectives. A proposal reflecting the views of

David Horowitz would be equally considered among all projects.) Nick Csikesz Pratt ’O4 and

Commentary

Rape’s deeper problem This weekend I was hit hard by the rape of a friend. I awakened to the reality that my world had shifted. While I complained about the usual things, too much work, Duke’s lifting of the Mt. Olive pickle boycott and not enough sleep, I began to reevaluate what was important. Seeing a community traumatized by violence against an amazing, strong woman shook my core. Through all of the pain and anger, I could feel an enormous amount of love emanating from many people. Friends, relatives and professors jumped in to help in any way possible. It was a beautiful and strengthening experience. This weekend, I began to change the way I value community and love. But I am also angry. The reality that women cannot feel safe in our world has been present for a long time. It forces women to walk alone at night fearful they will be violated. It forces women to Jessica be afraid every step of the way. It could Rutter happen anywhere, anytime—in a dorm t ajl e l room, on a date, on a walk through camon pus at night. The first thing that came to my mind this weekend was to get out of Duke and Durham. But I realized I couldn’t escape the fear and pain of sexual assault. I can’t run away from violence against women because it is present everywhere—in our thoughts, universities and neighborhoods. It is impossible to run away from patriarchy and the power that resides in rape and sexual harassment. It is necessary to face this power. Sometimes it feels like the fight is too big and that ending violence against women is too idealistic and too unrealistic. It is then easy to try to look for solutions that make our surroundings more secure. These things may make us feel like we are safe. We may ask that more police patrol the campus or that no one off campus is allowed in our dorms. But these solutions skirt the deep roots of the problem. I admit to being a radical. I look at origins of problems and try to see how changing structures can work to make life better for all. I think using social band-aids like police, alarm systems and locks cannot really help in the long term. These things are especially useless when we know those who are abusing us or raping us. A good friend of mine once said, “But what good will more locks '

do if the culprit is already inside?” I would like to stress that when a Duke student commits rape, it is often swept under the carpet like dirty laundry. We don't know who he is and we don't seem to mind. Maybe he is that fraternity boy that you saw at a party Saturday night. This week, I received in my email a link to a composite picture of a black man who is wanted for rape. I saw his face online and in the Chronicle. How can we decide that when a black male from Durham is the perpetrator we can post his face while white Duke men do the same and their identities and faces are hidden? We need to call the media out on this in order to see the reality of the issue of rape: that it happens across race, class, gender and sexuality. This past weekend a violent, random, terrible event occurred. I don’t know why he did it. I don’tknow what was going through his head. But some of you might. Some of you might understand the frustration, anger and confusion that it takes to rape someone. As the community ofDurham and Duke, I hope that we can prevent this from occurring again. We are implicitly taught that rape is okay, that rape is just a sad reality of life. When it happens we are sad, powerless and scared. Some of us become desensitized to it. But we don’t have to be powerless. Simply saying these things won’t prevent a farther rape from happening, but I hope one day rape will hardly happen, when it will be an anomaly rather than a norm. We need to address violence as a tactic of control. We need to see violence against women as a structural problem that affects every single person in our society, men and women. I don’t think that men want to oppress women. I think they would be happier in a world free of sexual violence. But we need to work toward that by looking at our society, our world. And we need to support each other and love each other. We need to participate in this struggle across race and across class. I know that we can make our community safer through addressing deeper problems, like violence as away of expressing intimidation and hatred. Jessica Rutter is a Trinity junior.

Props to housekeeping’s diligence The one bad thing about weekend partying is my inability to sleep in after a good night’s fun and debauchery. I just wake up at some ungodly hour in desperate need of water and over-the-counter drugs. Not to disturb my roommate, I’ll often head outside and enjoy the early morning rays on the quad. All is quiet Hldp.’l. on West Campus. At 8:30 a.m. or so, a member of the housekeeping staff marches onto the quad, armed with trash bags, brooms pi i and a mechanical trash picker-upper Unristopner arm thing. I make my usual salutaScoville tions, as he has become accustomed to Tovher’s P seeing me up early on the bench in my U Farade bathrobe. blue For a moment, it seems like we’re the only souls around for miles. I’m soon reminded otherwise when more housekeeping staff converge onto the quads. Of course, it’s their job to be awake and working while Duke students transition in and out of REM sleep for a few more hours. I am voluntarily awake; no one’s forcing me to lose my zzz’s. I can sit casually on the bench while they get to walk around the bench looking for trash. The night before, I threw my red plastic cup on the ground. Now I have the privilege of watching them pick it up. Ah, the luxury that is Duke. I just can’t wait for next weekend when I can again make my ritual salutations at 8:30 a.m. in the morning. When was the last time any of us thought about what happened to that red plastic cup we left somewhere on a Friday night? Or that cigarette butt you saw someone throw down in front of a bench? I can tell you exactly what happened. At 8:30 the next morning, a member of the housekeeping staff picked up our crap off the bench and off the ground so that we can walk to lunch without having to dodge trash .

littering our path. I get to see grounds and housekeeping pick up our mess ever morning I’m awake before 9:00 a.m. And quite frankly, I feel ashamed not only for my own lack of respect, but also for the lack of respect many students show for the people responsible for Duke’s beautiful campus. Trust me, it’s disturbing to watch

a middle-aged woman bending up and down picking up litter left from the previous night’s party. Whether cleaning up after parties is actually in the work description of the housekeeping staff should not concern students. We make the mess. We throw cups and bottles haphazardly at benches, on the ground or in the bushes. It’s probably safe to say that many of us do not litter so freely during the day, but as soon as everyone’s favorite social lubricant arrives, it all gets a little crazy. There are a few easy solutions to this problem that the University and the Housing Office can employ immediately. First of all, trash cans need to be placed next to every bench on campus. Not somewhere on the opposite side of the quad or hidden in the shadows near some bushes where no one would dare wonder, but next to every bench. Next to those trash cans, why not have “ash bins” for smokers to put out their cigarettes? Since all smoking has been moved outside, ash-

trays/bins should have already started appearing around campus, especially next to benches where people often smoke. Hopefully, students would use these new additions to campus out of respect to the housekeeping staff and out of deference to that age-old adage ‘Tour Mama doesn’t live here.” But of course, there are more institutional measures that can be taken if certain people revel in their status on the Duke campus. Now, I am a friend of frats, but I certainly advocate policies that penalize living groups for excessive trash left after parties. Cleanliness could even be added as a specific category to the Annual Review for selective living groups. I’m no radical environmentalist. I even throw litter out of my car window from time to time. But I don’t like waking up and watching other people pick up our trash. As soon as the University makes trash cans and ashtrays more accessible, we can all start showing a little respect for our campus and, most importantly, to the under-appreciated people who help keep it clean. If you have a problem with this, I’ll use you as an ashtray at our next crossing. Christopher Scoville is a Trinity sophomore. His column runs every other Thursday.

A reflection on a personal loss of Sept. 11 On a day that will be filled with political analysis and theoretical musings, I would like to offer a different perspective on the events of Sept. 11. My perspective is not justified by years of political research or a deep understanding of Middle Eastern policy. It is a personal story, and I promise

Kassia Miller Guest Commentary nothing more. However, I feel that it’s essential to understanding the most important result of Sept. 11: the lives it took and those it

changed forever. I’ve been blessed with a large, loud, happy Greek family. Holidays are filled with exciting chaos, like a scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding with less ethnicity and more New Jersey.And in this tumult of cousins, aunts, great uncles and old people I don’tknow but kiss anyway, there was always a core, a magnetic force that drew us together. There was my Aunt Daphne or, as we lovingly called her, Saza. We’ve called her “Saza” ever since my oldest cousin made it up 25 years ago. One word embodies her: her joyful laugh, glittering eyes, glowing love. They say the Greeks have a name for it, and Saza was ours. From my earliest memories, Saza

was an integral part of my life. Though she lived six hours away, she was always there for ballet recitals, proms and birthdays. She was a second mother with benefits. What made Saza special was that every morsel of her love was not a love by default, but a true dedication and sincere outpouring. Without children or a husband of her own, she gave her whole heart to her nieces and nephews. A year ago, I was in Paris when my friend received a call: a 747 crashed into the World Trade Center. “Oh my god,” I thought, “My aunt works there!” As I stood in a

television store, surrounded by images of the towers collapsing, my perfect world came down with it. The rest of the day is a blur of tears, crying-induced headaches and shock. A year later, I still have days like this. Each day is a pang of hurt, varying in degree. When I walked into her house a month later, it really hit me. A freeze frame was left of her last unsuspecting day: an open bottle of seltzer by the bed, clothes she had bought to wear on her trip to visit me in Paris hanging on her door, tags still attached. It was glaring how quickly and abruptly she was plucked from the world, out of my life. I don’t know if it’s futile to try to capture her in one column, or in words at all. It may not matter

either way. The fact is that she is no longer there to laugh with late at night. She will never know my husband or my kids, and they will never know her. And I will try in desperate attempts, such as here, to capture her essence. And, just as now, I will feel like I have not done her justice.

As the country looks back critically on Sept. 11, some of us are not, and never will be, at that analytical stage. We have questions without answers. We walk a tight line between the numbness of shock and feeling the pain too much. Mostly, we drown in the poignant memories of loved ones who perished. I fear that Sept. 11 will only live on as an infamous date represented by American flag bumper stickers, not by names or faces. I fear that only an abstract concept will remain, detaching the event from the horror caused. Here is my last attempt to share Saza, a name to put with the day. Days before Christmas, my mom gave my sister and me identical gifts. “I found these at Saza’s.” With tears streaming down my face, I recalled the tradition for Saza to give us a small gift each year. This year

she’d bought them three months in advance. That’s just the type of Saza she was.
