NEW YORK President George W. Bush and his wife Laura stood in somber silence Sunday after laying wreaths at the site where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once soared. He later pledged to make the anniversary “a day of renewing resolve” to remember the lessons of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The Bushes set floral wreaths adrift in reflecting pools that mark the former locations of the north and south towers at the beginning of a two-day fifth-anniversary tour that will take them to all three sites of devastation. They made a slow procession down a long ramp lined with a flag-bearing honor guard made up of firefighters and police officers, making their way four or five stories below ground level. Uttering no words, the Bushes walked hand-in-hand on the floor of the cavernous pit with bagpipes wailing in the background. Afterward, the Bushes attended a service of prayer and remembrance at nearby St. Paul’s Chapel, greeted firefighters at a firehouse overlooking ground zero and toured a private museum next door that is dedicated to 9/11 families.

The Blue Devils only needed WINSTON-SALEM the ball 28 yards to seal their first ACC win since the 2004 campaign. But the ball only traveled seven before a thunderous block sent the Wake Forest (2-0) faithful into an uproar and sealed Saturday’s 14-13 loss in Winston-Salem. In a game in which Duke (0-2) squandered numerous offensive opportunities that could have opened up a big lead for the Blue Devils, the final result came down to a last-second field goal from sophomore kicker Joe Surgan. “The snap was great, the hold was great and it felt good,” Surgan said. “One moment it was in, the next moment I heard it bounce off of someone. The rest was history from there.” to kick

Ex-Iran president slams bin Laden by Ken Maguire THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. On the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami condemned Osama bin Laden and suicide bombing but also defended groups such as Hezbollah for what he characterized as resistance against Israeli colonialism. In a 30-minute speech given under tight security at Harvard University, Khatami repeatedly praised the concept of democracy but said American politicians, since World War 11, have been infatuated with “world domination.” Khatami said he was one of the first world leaders to condemn “the barbarous acts” of Sept. 11. Responding to a question from the audience about bin Laden, Khatami said he had two problems with the al Qaeda leader behind the attacks. “First, because of the crimes he conducts,” he said, “and second because he conducts them in the name of Islam, the JONATHAN ERNST/ REUTERS religion which is a harbinger of peace and justice.” FormerPresident of Iran Mohammed Khatami spoke Sunday at Harvard and denounced Osama bin Laden.

After several delays, the Student Activities Fair hosted dozens of organizations Friday afternoon. Traditionally held on East Campus during freshman orientation week, the fair was scheduled to take place on the West Campus Plaza Sept. 1 this year. The event was then rescheduled because of heavy rains last week. Many students said delay and location change made it harder for some clubs to reach the freshmen, but added that not holding the fair during orientation gave freshmen more time to settle in. “There was so much to do the first week,” freshman Stephanie Martinez said. Some clubs waited until after the fair to kick off their year with auditions and activities, while others used different recruitment methods in the first couple of weeks of school in order to get students

involved right away. Certain clubs such as dance groups or political organizations set up tables outside of the Marketplace, and the Duke University Marching Band passed out free popsicles to garner student interest. Despite recruitment efforts, some students said the delay of the Activities Fair had negative effects on certain groups. Speak of the Devil, a campus a capella group, had to hold auditions the week of the rescheduled fair, which limited the pool ofinterested students. “Auditions finished today,” said senior Chris Sung, president of Speak of the Devil, Friday. As a result, freshmen interested in the group who didn’t sign up prior to the fair now have to wait until the spring to audition. In previous years, interested students had an opportunity to sign up for audiSEE FAIR ON PAGE 14

Panhel loosens rules for sorority recruitment by

Hanna Mahuta THE CHRONICLE

Although the frenzied socializing that marks formal rush week at Duke is still months away, the sorority recruitment process is getting an early revamping. Looking to increase individual chapter freedom and further elucidate the regulations that govern the formal sorority rush process, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life worked in conjunction with the Panhellenic Council to improve the set of rules that dictate sorority recruitment Under the new changes, sorority members now have fewer restrictions in throwing parties as away of attracting potential members and are now allowed to wear letters on East Campus as a method of recruitment. During the summer, senior Bethany Schraml, Panhellenic vice president for membership and recruitment, and Jessica Brinker, a staffmember at the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, worked together to draft a new set of recruitment rules that take into account feedback from women who had completed recruitment. Suggestions included improving the rules associated with the interaction between sorority upperclassmen and poten-

tial new members during first-semester recruitment. Based on the feedback, the rules governing such contact made recruitment seem distant and unnatural, Schraml said, “This, of course, prevented many firstyear women from meeting women and learning about the process of joining a sorority in a positive and beneficial way before the recruitment process began,” she added. In addition to providing potential new members with a better experience, Schraml said the new set of rules better reflects the national standard. “The goal of this set of rules is to provide a framework that guides sororities in establishing positive Panhellenic contact with potential new members and give them flexibility in choosing how they want to structure their recruitment, leaving much more choice to each chapter,” Schraml said. Several students said they were optimistic about the flexibility allowed in the changes. “It’s exciting because I think that these new rules will enable us, as sorority group members, to better get the word out to freshmen or potential new members what exactly a greek organization is about,” senior Beth Higgins said.

Duke sophomore starts info website, Duiki.com THECHRONICLE

starting a Wiki in college. After accruing different programming and database skills

Students hoping to find a more unorthodox version of the Duke “Graduation requirements” or get trivia about the Sarah P. Duke Gardens can now find all the answers in one place. This summer, sophomore Andrew Tutt created Duiki.com—an organized forum for members of the University to post a variety of Duke-related information. “I wanted to add an opportunity for everybody to become part of the Duke community,” Tutt said. Built off of the Wikipedia model—a popular user-edited online encyclopedia Duiki allows anyone to contribute and edit the content of its site. Unlike Wikipedia, Duiki combines empirical content—the norm for a site like Wikipedia —with tongue-in-cheek or opinion-based posts. On the website, pages include everything from “Why I love/hate Duke” to “Best work study jobs.” With the help of partnerships with organizations like the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association, Duiki has been able to offer information such as a tour ofEast Campus, beginning at the opening in the East Campus wall and ending on Ninth Street. Many of the pages on the website remain blank, however, because the site is still in its preliminary stages. Duiki is barely two months old, but Tutt said he hopes the site will expand. The idea for Duiki started before Tutt even came to Duke, when he dreamed of

as a student in Pratt School of Engineering, he created the site using extra web space from another web-design project. “The site will certainly be something special and grand, it just needs time to grow,” Tutt wrote on his online blog when Duiki first started up. Students are not the only ones editing and adding to the site. Michael Gustafson, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, has gotten his students involved in the site. “All of the nearly 300 people in my EGR 53L: Computational Methods in Engineering course know about Duiki and many of them have used it,” he wrote in an e-mail. Gustafson added, however, that he has also used the site outside of the classroom. He said his first post was a template for making webpages about restaurants. Gustafson said he originally considered creating a PrattWiki, but decided to include his work in the Duiki site. “I figure there are enough different web pages out there for things that it would be nice to have a single-stop shop for figuring out how to get your laptop to view Post Script documents over a wireless connection and where the best place is to get Mojito Paletas de Agua when you’re done,” he said. Tutt said he is working to mount a marketing campaign to publicize his new site. In addition to flyering campus, Tutt has been advertising Duiki through Google Adwords and the site is now one of the top

BUSH from page 1 La. schools don’t expect high enrollment Many colleges in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans have yet to recover from the displacement caused by the storm. Universities in the region lost many students in the months that followed, and even after recovery, fewer students are visiting these campuses than before. Although final enrollmentnumbers are not in for the fall semester, several colleges expect only to improve somewhat from the spring, which saw 20,000 fewer students in Louisiana than before the storm hit. More than a third of the state’s roughly 250,000 college students were displaced after Katrina hit. For schools like Tulane University, which relies heavily on out-of-state students, the damage has been more difficult. UCLA develops new stem cell research Researchers at the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles announced last week that they have discovered a method of harvesting stem cells without destroying human embryos. Dr. Robert Lanza, vice president of Advanced Cell Technology, created a technique that harvests one stem cell from each embryo after it is two days old. Previous techniques waited longer to harvest the cells, until the embryo has divided into 150 cells. Research has shown, however, that removing stem cells from such young embryos does not harm the embryo. Lanza said his method would make it impossible to oppose stem cell research, the New York Times reported, though some researchers still maintain the research could still be met with criticism.

Officials said, however, it is too early to determine whether the method will be implemented in UCLA labs. Graduate assistants end strike at NYU After many months of conflict between New York University and its graduate teaching and research assistants, a strike ended without the university’s agreeing to recognize the graduate assistants’ union. The conclusion is considered a major victory for the university, which had been forced to handle the hundreds of classes that were disrupted when the strike began last November. NYU’s student union announced that members decided to halt the strike in part because 30 percent of the union’s membership turns over each year, and a future decision should be made by the new union. Calif, grants student newspapers freedom

The California State Senate passed legislation last week prohibiting the censorship of public university student newspapers. The bill also extended free speech protection to student journalists. The California Assembly passed the legislation in May, and the Senate approved it 31-2. The bill is now awaiting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s signature. If the bill is signed, it will affect many public universities—such as the University of California at Davis and across the state that currently have restrictions on what the newspapers can and cannot print. Critics of the legislation, however, said state universities are subjects of the state and subject to First Amendment concerns.

When Brezing and her friends held a party at their off-campus apartment, two sophomores they did not know stopped by and consumed a couple of drinks, Brezing said. She added that one of her housemates kicked the pair out. Once they were on the street, Brezing said Gottlieb intercepted the sophomores and asked them where they procured the alcohol. Minutes later, Gotdieb and several other police came to Brezing’s home and demanded they break up the party, she said. “They asked ‘Who has the lease?’” Brezing said. “And it was me and one of my roommates, and they said ‘You’re under arrest for aiding and abetting.’” Brezing said she complained to the officers that her car had been stolen and asked why police spent time breaking up parties when there were more serious crimes to investigate. “Gottlieb said, ‘Are you being ridiculous? Is that the worst thing that has happened to you? I’m having a shitty week,’” Brezing said. Then, Gotdieb put Brezing and her roommate in his police car and drove them to the police station. “We got down to the station and these other police officers asked Gotdieb what we had done,” Brezing said. “[When he told them] they started laughing hysterically, because they had brought in people who had been shooting at other people.” Brezing and her housemate spent the night in a jail cell, although Brezing said they were never actually processed. The two shared a cell with a blood-covSEE GOTTLIEB 2 ON PAGE 11

Police Department and remarks made by many prominent community members. The efforts, to organize the memorial were spearheaded by senior Stephen Miller, president ofStudents for Academic Freedom, executive member of the Duke Conservative Union and a Chronicle columnist. He created the 9/11 Student Memorial Commission in August and began planning for the event. “I felt that we owed it to the victims... to remember and honor them together,” Miller said. “I wanted to create an event to bring the Duke and Durham community together.” Initially, the North Carolina Veterans of Foreign Wars administration gave Miller $l,OOO, which he said was crucial in beginning the planning. “It really got the ball rolling,” he said. Miller, a leader in two conservative campus organizations, said his next task was to gain support from the University. “The administration was supportive but seemed wary of the ideologies of those leading it,” he said. He soon appointed junior Adam Zell as his vice chair, and the two set about recruiting members of the community to help organize the memorialand gain support from a wide cross-section of student groups. They were met with success, and the memorial was soon sponsored by a variety ofcampus groups, including the Asian Student Alliance, Black Student Alliance, Duke American Civil Liberties Union, College Republicans, Duke Democrats, Duke Conservative Union, Diya, Hillel, Mi Gente and the Muslim Students Association. “This is a non-partisan event for all members of the community,” Miller said. “We come from all sorts of ideologies and

Though groups such as ACLU and SAP rarely see eye-10-eye on most political issues, the groups worked together to create this event. Duke ACLU President Daniel Bowes, a senior, sent out a mass e-mail to members of the Duke community asking for volunteers for the memorial services. “If you have time, please take the time to help out —this is obviously a great cause,” Bowes wrote. After gaining widespread support from various student groups, Miller and Zell received significant financial aid from the administration. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, confirmed he and Larry Moneta, vice president of student affairs, each gave $2,000 to the memorial project—for a total of $4,000 from the Duke administration—quintupling the funds available. “We used the normal process to get approval [for funding the event],” Burness said. Moneta is scheduled to give brief remarks at the event, Miller added. Miller said he was grateful for the additional funds. The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, of which Zell is an undergraduate fellow, also donated $5OO. Miller and Zell also received support from the Durham Fire Department and the Durham Police Department. DFD Captain William Towner said he was eager to help when contacted by the organizers of the event. “When [Miller and Zell] contacted us, we sat down and told him what we had to offer,” Towner said. He added that the fire department plans to send fire trucks to aid the display, and the DFD Honors Guard will perform a “striking of the bell” ceremony, a tribute to fallen firefighters. Three hundred fortythree New York firefighters died during

Sunday night, a vigil was set up with one American flag for each person who died in the September 11 thattacks. the 9/11 terrorist attacks The DPD Honor Guard will also be performing Taps, a traditional song played on Memorial Day, to honor the fallen. Durham City Council member Mike Woodard, Trinity ’Bl, who will speak at the event, said he was eager to participate. “As a Duke graduate, Duke administrator and elected official, this was a chance for me to join in our community tribute to the innocent people who died and the brave emergency responders who died on 9/11,” said Woodard, who noted he was not aware of any other similar memorial events occurring in Durham. Miller said the event was also geared toward commemorating fallen U.S. soldiers.

“In mourning the victims of 9/11, we have to also pay tribute to the soldiers sent into batde from the conflicts engendered by the attacks,” Miller said. To represent the soldiers, Veterans of Foreign Wars state commander Jim Goins is scheduled to speak, along with Lieutenant Colonel Charles Hodges ofDuke ROTC. “Based on the fact that this is a 9/11 memorial event, I told them I would certainly participate,” Goins said. The organizers of today’s events said they hope the memorial will bring together the community in remembrance. “This will be a very emotional event,” Miller said. “I hope everyone will join together for it.”

THE SUPREME SACRIFICE As people fled for their lives from the flames, smoke and debris, these brave men of the FDNY poured into the towers to save the trapped, the burning and the dying. As foundations crumbled, they pressed on and made the supreme sacrifice. Please join us at the 9/11 Memorial Service on Monday at 8 PM on the Plaza and help pay tribute to these heroes as we honor their sacrifice and mourn their loss.

tions at the Activities Fair. For other groups, the move from East to West Campus had the biggest effect on new-student recruitment, said senior Stephen Star, co-president of the Duke Sailing Club. Some clubs did like the new location and said it did not detract from attracting new members. Senior Eddy Leal, a member of the Martial Arts Club, said he was happy to be on the plaza. “It was a good use of resources we’ve already spent,” he said. In previous years, tables were organized in a spiral shape in the middle of the East Campus quadrangle, inviting students to visit the fair being held right outside their dormitories. “It was too crowded,” freshman Soo Hyun Choi said about this year’s organization on the plaza. “They could have done a better job in terms of how they set up the place.” Choi added that an advantage to having the fair on West Campus, however, was that it attracted more students. “I did see a lot of upperclassmen, which might not have happened had it been on East,” she said.

during his two terms as president that ended last year. His visit to the United States has been criticized by many, particularly amid concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. The visit angered Joshua Levin, 42. He said, “When someone this evil comes to your city you must oppose him. He’s a fascist. He sponsors terror.” There were no major problems, but police presence was heavy, Cambridge police spokesperson Frank Pasquarello said. One man was detained, although it was not immediately clear why. Harvard has been criticized for the timing of its invitation to Khatami, who is taking a two-week tour of the United States. Khatami is the most senior Iranian to travel outside New York in the United States since Islamic fundamentalists seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held Americans hostage for 444 days. He was invited to the United States by the U.N.-sponsored Alliance of Civilizations, of which he is a founding member. The group strives to foster cross-cultural understanding between Western and Islamic state.

COUNSEL from page 3 so much visibility and its goals are so ambitious,” she added. Although Bernard—who was previously the vice president and general counsel at the University of Florida—did not officially assume her position until July 1, she started working with the counsel’s office in April to familiarize herself with day-to-day routines. “It gave me the opportunity to work with the then-current general counsel so that I would have a relatively deep understanding of the issues,” she said. “When July 1 came, I was able to hit the ground

running.” Bernard arrived in Durham during the throes of the lacrosse rape controversy, but she insists that those issues have consumed little of her time.

“Coming from the University of Florida, I have fortunately had my share of athletics issues, so I suppose I couldn’t have been better prepared for lacrosse,” she

explained.

“It would be misleading to suggest that I have spent a tremendous amount of my time involved in the lacrosse matter because the lacrosse matter is really a part 0f... the criminal justice system now,” Bernard added. Bernard praised President Richard Brodhead for being articulate and sincere, adding that her changes to his speeches were “so minimal as to evaporate into nothingness.” “When you work for an English professor—it is a rare luxury for a lawyer, because this is the second English professor for whom I have worked, and I found both of them articulate and extremely capable of what they’re saying,” she said.

dons or suggest means of in-

terpretation on a day that so uniquely struck our emotions? Ultimately, we would be presumptuous to give opinions on a day of reflection,

of our lives in a unique and powerful manner, and we have an obligation to reflect on them in our course

own personal contexts. Although our memories remain linear, distinct and isolated, Sept. 11 did not occur in a bubble. Whether in your personal life, your major or your future career, this day has and will continue to affect you. What sort of editorial opinion can we give on such a day? What 600 words could ever capture the internal experience of Sept. 11? To encourage reflection seems simple and meek, but how can one make policy recommenda-

'

Let others comment on the war on terror and other postSept. 11 topics. We would be foolish to assume that the legacy of Sept. 11 has become clear enough in only five years for us to explain its relevance. That relevance varies from person to person, student to student, Today is a milestone and day where we should step back from the pettiness and overblown significance of modern collegiate life. It is a day for reflection and remembrance.

Next time someone asks you about Sept. 11, remember not only where you were but also who you were when you learned that planes had hit the World Trade Center. Reflect on how you have changed in the past five years and interpret the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11 within the context of your own life. Youth and context were our gifts on Sept. 11, 2001 and they are our legacy as memories of the twin towers fade away over time. We carry a memory that we must maintain and internalize, for someday the students who walk this campus will be the last to have witnessed and understood the legacy of Sept. 11.

When The Chronicle hit campus bins the

morning of Sept. 11, 2001, headlines about reOak Room renovations and hotel tax increases greeted Econ students as they left class. About the same time, more troubling reports began to pop up that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. The minutes passed, the story unraveled and, sooner than anyone could have imagined, Sept. 11, 2001 became that infamous date without a cent

year—“9/11.” Four-hundred-and-someodd miles away, ryan mccartney I made the three-block trek from the editor's desk from the 86th St. subway station to my high school in NewYork City. I finished up some chemistry homework and scrambled up the four flights of stairs to my 8:40 a.m. theology class. Twelve minutes passed, and then a rumbling rumor began to surge that things might be a little different from now on. The next morning, The Chronicle’s headline encapsulated the thoughts of a campus in mourning and addressed the one thought on everyone’s mind; “DAY OF TERROR.” I stayed home from school and tried to make sense of something that didn’t make any sense at all. My father said he was playing football near the Elmhurst, Queens gas tanks when he heard that JFK was shot. He was 10 years old, and he was wearing a red Giants jersey. He says he remembers every minute of that day. When I talk to my friends from high school, they can recount every minute of the hours—and then days—when smoke filled the oddly empty Manhattan skyline. It was, after all, the biggest event of our generation. Still is. But then I draw this strange blank. And, when I try to put things together from that day, the memories are at best jumbled. Sure, I remember going back to homeroom and jerry-rigging a TV just in time to see the second tower fall. I remember frantically running though the list of all my uncles, aunts and cousins who worked near Ground Zero. It’s an Irish-Catholic family—needless to say, there were a lot of names to scroll through. I remember how bizarre it was to see people walking their dogs in the middle of Park Avenue

since no cars were allowed in the city, and I recall how futile it was to try to call parents, let alone get reception. I certainly remember the F-14s roaring overhead and the muffled hearsay that our dean had pulled one of the freshman out of a history class to tell him some bad news. Luckily, it was just a rumor. But, honesdy, I don’t remember much more. I have no idea what I was wearing or what I ate for breakfast that morning. I went home, and I watched CNN with the rest of the country. For me, the picture starts to come together that night of Sept. 11, when our neighbor knocked on the door, still in his business suit He was wearing a blue shirt that was un-tucked, and his tie was loosened. “I was working down there. I was in the building, but I got out,” he said with a strange kind of excitement—riding this odd rush. He was okay, his family was okay and, for that moment, that’s what mattered. I remember that. And I remember commuting into the city the next morning—coming from Westchester county and heading past Yankee Stadium, as I had every day since I was five. But this time, I remember gawking at a blank, smoldering space in the heart of the Manhattan skyline. Things had moved on, the newspaper headlines had changed and, it turns out, things weren’t quite the same anymore. Sept. 11 had become the event of our generation in a matter of hours. It took me four years to go down to Ground Zero, and when I did, I made the biggest mistake a NewYorker can make—l asked for directions. “Just look for the big empty space,” a police officer told me. Empty space has away of standing out in New York City. This past weekend, I found myself going back through The Chronicle’s bound volumes—back to the fall months of 2001.1 found The Chronicle’s Sept. 12 issue. In total, about five hours separate the time when a motley crew of editors put The Chronicle to bed every night and the time when the papers hit one of 120 distribution bins on campus. But in those five hours, that morning of Sept. 11, a campus and a nation had changed entirely. Years have an odd way of erasing hours, and of blurring details in a wave of abstractions. Five years removed from Sept. 11, The Chronicle shares remembrances of the details of that day without a year that has become so much a part of our country, and of this generation.

were popping open champagne bottles and celebrating the fact that thousands of people were dead. More importandy, Manhattan was helpless—the hijacked planes had hit the bulls-eye. The cameraman who had unselfishly driven me, a complete stranger, away from the disaster had a friend whose wife probably perished in the disaster. Sadly, his friend may have also perished when he decided to go downtown to find his spouse. My supervisor and I listened with tears in our eyes as he frantically dialed each of the three cell phones in the car to get word. Nothing. While horror after horror unfolded, we spotted a woman who was screaming frantically on the side of the road, failing miserably in her attempt to hail a cab. We stopped temporarily in traffic and discovered that she was an emergency room physician at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Without giving it a second thought, we opened the car door for her and drove her to the place she needed to go. Once the Manhattan lockdown was announced on the radio, our trio drove around the upper east side aimlessly in search of a place to stay. We finally found a diner open at 89th Street and Second Avenue. The rest of the city had shut down completely —one of the eeriest sights one will ever see. For more than an hour, we picked at scrambled eggs and watched as people flooded north on foot with cell phones clasped to their ears.

About six hours after the initial disaster, we successfully maneuvered our way out of Manhattan via the Triboro Bridge into Queens with two more individuals, one of whom worked on the 78th floor of WTC Tower 2. He had been late for work this

morning. Now, I am staying in Queens with GMA crew members until the time has come to safely re-enter Manhattan. To be honest, I doubt that I will ever feel “safe” entering the borough again. Just two nights ago, I stood on the promenade in Brooklyn, near the St. George residence where the Duke in New York students live, and watched the sun set over lower Manhattan, the East River and the Statue of Liberty. The sky faded from bright blue into yellows, pinks and deep red. In the distance, I watched as distant airliners made their final approach into Newark International Airport in neighboring New Jersey. And in the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if one of those planes accidentally went off course and careened into a skyscraper. But things like that don’t happen in the United States. Or so I thought. I encourage you to call your loved ones and friends to share your sentiments over the next few days. Whether we have a personal connection to the disaster or not, each of us has something to mourn. Liz Prada, Trinity ’Ol, was a senior when she wrote this column.

But you’ll also start asking crucial questions with more urgency. Why aren’t our airports, borders or ports secure? Why have not the recommendadons of the 9/11 Commission been implemented? Why are there 3,000,000 people in the United States who have overstayed their visas? Why isn’t the murder of 3,000 people enough to shake us out of our apathy? Maybe, if more people researched the true story of Sept. 11, in all its horror, it won’t take another attack, and more untold devastation, to motivate us to fix the perilous status quo. This has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat, right or left. This shouldn’t be political. We can disagree on how best to fight terrorism and keep our country safe, but we cannot disagree that we need to do both. Does anyone seriously believe that with our porous, undermanned, underfunded domestic security we can really hope to prevent the release of a WMD on our soil once terrorists get their hands on the necessary materials? Does anyone seriously believe thatwith our porous, undermanned, politically correct domestic security we can really hope to prevent the release of a WMD on our soil once terrorists get their hands on the necessary materials? Since most of us, myself certainly included, have never witnessed the horrorand suffering of a major terrorist attack, it’s hard to

fathom the level of torment and agony theseacts ofmurder inflict. The numbers of dead simply don’t tell the story. Not the terrifying final moments before execution, or the horrific, debilitating injuries of the wounded. Not the memories of such hopeful, loving, loved people whose lives were brought to such a brutal, unjust, sickening end. Not the courage, dignity and heroism of so many everyday people who put their own lives in jeopardy to help others survive and escape. Not the faces of the grieving families as they mourn and remember the loss of those who made their lives such a joy. So we lie to ourselves. We criticize our concerned officials for fear-mongering. We oppose commonsense security measures. We give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. Meanwhile our enemy yearns to attack with all the force of Sept. 11 multiplied a hundred times. What will it take for us to understand? As we stop today to mourn the dead, honor their memory and pay tribute to our heroes, let each of us also consider how our complacency allowed an attack on the same building the terrorists tried to blow up eight years prior. And let those tragic deaths be all the motivation we ever need to fight terrorism and keep our nation safe. God help us if we don’t.

Duke rebounds from Wake loss to beat BU by

Playing in the moment It was this motto that carried No. 4 Duke to victory Sunday at Williams Field over Boston University, in light of its loss the day before to Wake Forest in its ACC opener.

down in the Blue Devils’ front line created consistent trouble for the team. Unable to keep the ball up field, Duke’s defense spent most of the first half attempting to slow the Demon Deacons’ attack. The game remained scoreless at the half despite the fact that Wake had outshot the Blue Devils, 10-5. But six minutes into the second half Wake Forest found the net on a penalty comer to put the Demon Deacons up, 1-0. Christine Suggs added two more secondhalf goals to push Wake’s margin of victory

three ‘You can’t play sloppy hockey against a really great team and not expect to be punished,” head coach Beth Bozman said. Williams did her part to help keep Duke in the game, recording 11 saves. But the effort was not enough as the Demon Deacons dominated possession, recording 14 shots on goal to the Blue Devils’ five. “I think collectively we were very disappointed with how we showed up yesterday, but Caitlin did a great job for us,” Bozman said. “We did not handle their pressure very well and did not execute our game plan. It was a tough game to rebound from, but I thought we did well.” Williams received quite a bit more help Sunday, as Marian Dickinson, Cara-Lynn Lopresti and Amy Stopford all tallied goals, and Duke’s defense held the Terriers to two shots on net. “Our passing was much better today than it was yesterday and that’s something that we focused on and made a goal to work on,” Stopford said. “Today we tried to communicate as a team.” The opening ACC loss did not shake Duke’s determination for championship success—illustrated in their quick rebound to defeatBoston. “We are a national championship team,” Williams said in describing how this weekend’s outcome will fit into Duke’s season.

With just 26 seconds left on the clock and the score knotted at three, Kansas’ Shannon McCabe sent a shot over Duke goalkeeper Allison Lipsher to give the Jayhawks (4-1) the lead at 43. The Blue Devils scrambled to push the game into overtime, but they could not deliver in the final seconds. “We pushed some people forward, but with that much time left there’s not much you can do,” head coach Robbie Church said. McCabe’s tally was the last of a three-goal Kansas run in the game’s final 21 minutes. The Blue Devils—ahead 1-0 for the entire first half—held the momentum for the majority of the game, but they were unable to close out the match in the second half.

Although the loss is Duke’s second Sunday defeat following Friday matches this season—the Blue Devils fell to Connecticut Sept. 3—Church said the team showed some improvement upon its loss to the Huskies. “For a long stretch of time, we

did a lot of good things,” Church said. “Kansas is a very disruptive team, a very physical team. We played through their tight marking better than when we played at Connecticut.” Duke had a strong performance Friday night when it shut out UAB. Lipsher recorded two saves and earned her third shutout of the season, and Duke outshot the Blazers, 94. The Blue Devils were buoyed by goals from seniors Rebecca Moros and Sarah McCabe, who also added an assist. McCabe’s goal came when she picked the ball from the Blazer keeper and put the shot away from six yards out. Moros and McCabe each have three goals on the season. “Friday, we were really prepared for the game, we put our stamp on it early and had a very solid performance,” Church said. “We played well Friday night. We dominated the match pretty soundly. I think we came out ready to play this weekend.” But even with a strong start to both matches this weekend, the Blue Devils wefe still disappointed with the result of Sunday’s game. “Nobody’s thking it well,” Church said. “Honestly, it’s a game we should have closed out and won. But being in that position is part of the process and we need to learn from that.”

HOLLY CORNELL/THE CHRONICLE

Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner completed 22-of-29 passes for 235 yards withone touchdown.

13 seconds to play gave Duke the ball on Wake Forest’s nine-yard line. After Duke centered the ball and called its final timeout, Surgan—who had already missed a 27-yarder in the first half—came out to attempt to give the Blue Devils the win. His blocked kick was just one of many missed scoring opportunities for Duke. “This is definitely a game that we felt we should have won,” Wright said. “We didn’t take advantage of every opportunity, but we took advantage of enough to have a chance to win it at the end.” Duke started the game strong, dominating the Demon Deacons in almost every aspect. After forcing a punt on Wake’s opening drive, the Blue Devils went deep on their first play from scrimmage. Lewis rolled to his right and found a wide open Wright behind the defense, but the ball bounced off Wright’s hands and fell to the ground. “Coach told us it was going to be wide open,” Wright said. “He said to just run the play like he had told us to run it all week. I turned my hips around, and I just didn’t extend my arms enough.” Duke still managed to move down the field on its first drive, which culminated in Surgan’s missed 27-yard attempt. Two fumbles—including one from running back Re’quan Boyette as he tried to jump over the pile and into the endzone from two yards out—plagued the Blue Devils’ redzone offense. The team managed just three points on five trips inside the Demon Deacons’ 20-yard line. “We just have to execute and we have to capitalize on the big plays,” Lewis said. “When we do that, I guess we’ll come out victorious, but we came out just short. Wake outplayed us, and that’s it.” , Duke scored its lone touchdown after

running a similar rollout play as its first from scrimmage, resulting in a 47-yard toss from Lewis to Wright with about five minutes left in the second quarter. At halftime, the Blue Devils led 10-0 and had accumulated nearly triple Wake’s offensive output —234 yards to 82. The second half was a different story as the Demon Deacons racked up 210 yards to Duke’s 71. Wake Forest scored its first points on a Riley Skinner five-yard touchdown pass to tight end John Tereshinski midway through the third quarter, making the score 10-7. The 73yard drive highlighted the halftime adjustments that helped the Demon Deacons get back into the game. ‘We had a hell of a defensive game in the first half,” defensive lineman Vince Oghobaase said. “In the second half, we kind of let up a bit.... We didn’t cover the screen game good enough, and we have to work on that. They killed us with their screens.” Duke scored one more field goal—a 39yarder in the third quarter —before Wake’s game-winning touchdown. Despite the loss, the Blue Devils looked like a different team than the one that lost 13-0 a week ago. Lewis’ 305 passing yards—the most by a Duke quarterback in his first career start since Dave Brown’s 444 in 1989—accounted for the majority of the Blue Devils’ 367 total yards. Although the team rallied around the young leader, its effort was not enough to secure Duke’s first win of the season. “We just came out with some intensity,” Lewis said. “We only have each other and that’s all we have to play football.... We played together as a team, and we brought the fight out of us. We never quit.”

WINSTON-SALEM As head coach Ted Roof stood outside the visitors’ locker room waiting to address reporters following his team’s heartbreaking last-second loss Saturday, his twin sons each clutched on to one of his legs. Every ounce of Duke’s 14-13 loss seemed to sit squarely on the coach’s slumped shoulders as Roof pinched his eyes shut between his thumb and index finger. Saturday’s matchup with Wake Forest was supposed to be Duke’s redemption game after an embarrassing 13-0 loss to I-AA Richmond to start the season. But even after dominating the first half and outplaying the Demon Deacons for the vast majority of the game, all the Blue Devils have to show for their efforts is an 0-2 record and questions about what could have been. In the end, the same mistakes and issues that plagued the team in the Richmond loss —specifically an inability to finish off drives and put points on the scoreboard—were its undoing against Wake Forest. “There are no magic words that are going to make this hurt go away,” Roof said. “The message to the team was that I really appreciated their effort. They played with their hearts today. But we’ve got to find away to make one more play.” The Blue Devils had plenty of opportunities to make that one play. Duke’s offensive game plan hid its most glaring weakness —an inexperienced offensive line—by consistently rolling quarterback Thaddeus Lewis out of the pocket. In his first career start, Lewis showed a tremendous amount of poise as he repeatedly guided the offense down the field. Though the rollout strategy often left Lewis vulnerable to open-field hits, the freshman completed 21-of-32 passes for 305 yards and made up for a weak rushing attack that was only able to muster 62 yards. Duke, however, stalled on every trip inside the 20-yard line. The Blue Devils managed just three points in five trips to the red zone, as two missed-field goals and two fumbles prevented what could easily have been a Duke blowout victory. The pinnacle of these missed opportunities was the game’s final play. After an impressive last-minute drive that was aided by two pass interference calls, Wake Forest’s Chip Vaughn blocked Joe Surgan’s 28-yard field goal and the Demon Deacons escaped with the victory. “It’s that famous line, ‘Always the kicker’s fault,’” Surgan said. “It’s an unfortunate situation. The offense did a great job, the defense did a great job out there—I’ve got to do my job.” The game-ender, however, was just the last in a string of red-zone blunders that ultimately cost Duke the victory. The Blue Devils had two costly fumbles in the second quarter, neither of which was even forced by the defense. Early in the quarter, a 65-yard drive was negated when Lewis pitched the ball behind Re’quan Boyette on an option run. Then, just before halftime, Boyette lost the ball as he tried to dive ahead for the end zone. As each promising drive came up empty, more pressure was put on the offense to produce something tangible the next drive “We can’t have negative-yardage plays, and we can’t have turnovers in the red zone—that’s just two things you can’t do,” Roof said. “And we’ve got to make our field goals—we’ve got to make our chip shots. We had a chip shot to win the game, and we just didn’t do it.” Despite the loss, the Blue Devils looked like a completely different team from the opening weekend. The defense set the physical tone for the game, and Lewis emerged as a talented leader of the offense. Duke finished the game with twice as many first downs and 185 more passing yards than against Richmond—all against a veteran ACC defense. But as they finish a pair of the most winnable games on their difficult schedule with two losses, the Blue Devils can’t feel all that optimistic. “It’s hard to be encouraged right now,” Roof said. “But there were some positive things, we made some strides. I think once we are able to separate ourselves from the emotion of this loss, we’ll be able see that.” For now, the emotion surrounding the heartbreaking defeat overshadowed any progress. Asked if he could remember a loss that could more easily have been a victory, Roof shook his head and, barely audibly, whispered, “No.” Now, Roof must prevent a lost opportunity from turning into a lost season.

Road

Trip:

Wake Forest

Ever wondered how game days at other ACC schools compare with Duke's? Throughout this season, The Chronicle will give a taste of the traditions, sights and sounds of game day at Duke's opponents in the "Road Trip" series.

THE STUDENT SECTION

Wake Forest students have a boisterous and unified student section. Packed into a very tight part of the stands, the students proudly cheer on the Demon Deacons. And they make sure they are noticed—the fans all sport identical Wake Forest yellow t-shirts, giving them mob-like quality. TAILGATE? One feature of Groves Stadium is a grassy knoll behind one endzone. Opting for a luscious lawn instead of metal bleachers, fans filter in from the parking lot with blankets and baskets and watch as the Demon Deacons play right in front of them. This provides a comfortable ambiance that welcomes families throughout the community to gather under the sun for a picnic and a pigskin.

HE STADIUM EXPERIENCE oves Stadium has no track around field, meaning the fans are as close to ie field as possible. Even front row at /allace Wade requires a pair of binocus to see the action because the track Ids a lot of real estate between the ac-

and the ticket holders. The close proximity increases the fan involvement at Wake Forest games, and it improves the level of excitement ;n

throughout the game.

September tlth, 2001

a spare, solemn kind of courtesy that only a pair of newsprint pages can offer, we honor six of our own below. And with a fevered intensity that only the penned word can convey, we take you back to that day as some of us lived it. That day when our classrooms were punctuated not with lunch breaks and braying hells, but with the wail of sirens and curls of sinister smoke. The calendar tells us that it’s been five years, and in our small spread of academia, we are talking about where that time has put us. We are talking about the politics and policies, the talking heads and headless soldiers that have descended upon our front pages these past years like so many drops of leaden rain. We are struggling with defining rectitude in a relative world—and in seeking and (extinguishing the flame that kindles our hate and blinds our brightest eyes. We are still fighting. But while we light and fume and even cry, let us today remember those below—those who will both blessedly and tragically never know such a complicated world.

generation has a moment. A moment unlike any other, one that will live forever in the minds of anyone who experienced it.

My mother always told me that she can remember exactly where she was and what she was doing the moment she heard John F, Kennedy was shot. I never understood exactly what she meant. Not until September 11th. I stepped out of the elevator at my high school in NewYork City and saw my photography teacher, Jill Stoll, frozen with a look of fear and confusion, She told me a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Her husband was in one of the towers at the time. My immediate reaction—one that I’ll never forget—was to wonder how in the world they would extract the plane from the building. Having not yet seen the footage, I could not fathom the sight of a Jet airliner crashing into such an enormous structure, and the fire that would ensue. When my friend, listening to the news on his Walkman, told me that one of the towers had collapsed, I didn’t even know what he meant. How could a building, so large, massive and imposing, be gone? They loomed over the city I had called home all my life. They were seemingly indestructible. Numbers started rolling in. 5,000 dead. 7,000 dead. The number is appreaching 10,000. My brain could not comprehend a number that size. Frankly, the specific number was meaningless; Thinking about a. number that. large dehumanizes people, making them nothing more than statistics. At a

point, it just becomes Death. Walking home from school, the city’s emotions were palpable. People wandered aimlessly, covered in soot, nearly six miles from Ground Zero, I walked to the East River, across the street from my apartment and stared south. A plume of puffy smoke barreled across the river, poisoning a crisp ' blue sky. My personal emotions were conflicted. None of my loved ones or immediate friends’ loved ones were physically harmed September 11th, so my feeling ofloss could not compare to the tens of thousands of people who lost people close to them. When anyone offered me sympathy, I did not want to accept it or make it seem as though I, simply by virtue of living in New York, had suf-

,

fered a terrible fate. For months, people would ask me if I was “okay.” I never really knew what this meant or how to respond. I survived, and no, none of my family members were there, I was physically okay. But Fm not certain my life, my NewYork sense of in’ vincibility, will ever be the same. One thing is for sure—when my kids read about September 11th in their American history textbook, Jill Stoll’s face will undoubtedly still haunt me. _

Reflection

Like

most of my peers, I spend a good part of my collegiate life clicking aimlessly on facebook.com. For hours each day, I would browse through photographs of people that I barely know or perhaps don’tknow at all. Taking a glimpse into the lives of others has become routine nowadays. Despite the novelty of this habit, however, there was another time in my life when I found myself completely drawn toward the lives of strangers. The most heartrending part of that experience was the impossibility of ever getting to

know them. On the morning of September 11th, I watched the debris of the first tower fall while sitting in my high school math class, just a few blocks north of the World Trade Center. After evacuating with my peers, my knees gave out when I turned around near Chelsea Piers to see the second tower crumble to the ground. It was like watching a movie and wanting to fast forward to the happily-ever-after ending. The hardest realization came days later, however, when I realized the sheer number of people who vanished that morning. A quarter ofmy life has passed since the month I joined the countless number of New Yorkers who read the personal profiles of those who were unaccounted for after 9/11. To this day, some of the images and descriptions are still vivid in my memories. Missing person posters flooded the streets of New York as the toll for the dead and the missing continued to rise. Personal information was made unabashedly public overnight in our infamously impersonal city. Detailed descriptions of tattoos, birthmarks, wedding bands accompanied each name and brilliant smile. Family photographs were reproduced on every city block. Some posters included a timeline of every recorded action made until the towers fell

while others included little information besides a photograph and a phone number. Every poster, however, was a summary of a beloved life and a desperate cry for help from strangers. Some posters asked for information about the whereabouts of a missing person. Others served as a simple declaration of life, I looked into the eyes of the missing—perhaps the deceased—in their photographs. Ttried to put myself in their shoes and wonder what their lives were like on September 10, 2001 and wondered if they were as happy as they looked there on the crowded lamppost or the wall of the Union Square subway station. I asked myself if they would have tried to picture what my life was like, if our roles were reversed. Everyone talks about all the good that has emerged since 9/11 —the sense of unity, empathy and a shared experience from which to grow together. In reality, however, I probably share my memories from 9/11 while trying to ease the chill that goes down my spine at most once or twice a year. After 9/11,1 wanted to ask dozens of questions to the bubbly redheaded girl with the scorpion tattoo or the bald, middle-aged businessman with a scar on his shin from a motorcycle accident. I wanted to know what made their lives significant and how the world is a different place because of them. In the years since, I’ve found myself putting insecurities aside in order to get to know people I would otherwise never meet. Perhaps there is more to life than what is listed on a facebook profile and it just takes a little more initiative on our part to find out what isn’t written. .'

September

11th, 2001 was a frightful day for everyone. Fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters, children, wives, husbands, uncles, aunts, friends and family were all lost on that day. When I look back, I consider myself lucky that I didn’t lose someone that day too, my father. My father recendy retired as a captain in the navy after 26 years of faithful duty. He has been all over the world from Djibouti, Africa to Paris. My family and I have lived all over the United States—from Florida to California—but on September 11th my father was in Washington, D.C., within the walls of the Pentagon. It all started with a loudspeaker announcement as I sat in Spanish class. “If anyone has parents who work in the

World Trade Center or the Pentagon, report to the office immediately.” Confused, I casually walked down to the office having no idea what the problem was. I was quickly ushered into my guidance counselor’s office and told to call my parents because of a terrorist attack. First try, phone was busy. Second try, my mother picks up, “I DON’T KNOW! I DON’T KNOW! HE HASN’T CALLED AND DON’T CALL BACK!” Click. “Mom? Hello?” Before I could realize what happened I was quickly escorted out of the office so another child could try to reach their parents and as I walked back to class I learned of the horrible attacks committed only 15 minutes ago. At this point all I knew was that my father was in the Pentagon—not where he was, what floor, what ring or what side, only that he was there. Suspense and anxiety pulsed

through me all day. From 9:30 a.m. until the final bell at

2:05 p.m. felt like it couldn’t have gone any slower. As I ran home from the bus stop, still not knowing if my father was alive, I wondered what life would be like without him. How would my high school years pan out? What would my mother, three siblings and I do? Opening the door to my house all my worries were put to rest. He was safe. It wasn’t until later that I learned how close my father had been. The plane did hit his side of the Pentagon but luckily he was not on the outer ring, which collapsed, but on the next inner ring on the third floor. The plane went under his office and as the outer ring fell away, you could see his office window, shining in the autumn sun. Michael Tunick is a Trinity sophomore.

n’t “just a day” for anyone in New York City. I read later in descriptions of the day, that overnight, American flags started flying out windows, banners out in front of houses. That’s a lie. I’d swear it only took a few hours. For three years now, the towers had been a beacon, welcoming me to school. Even if it was a rainy day and the upper floors encased in clouds, they were always there. I guess I took them for granted. And why not? For anyone who has seen them, they were huge-standing between them, staring up into the heavens, trying to catch a glimpse of the top, your thoughts aren’t on them collapsing; I can guarantee you that. On the return to school, all that greeted me was the smell of burning, the sound of diesel trucks going up the West Side Highway. And once again, I felt lost. All the noises, the smells, had been pushed to the background and everything once again wasn’t real—this wasn’t my New York. Every so often over the course of the next year, we New Yorkers were collectively asked by outsiders, are you ok? For me, it was always the same reply, and still is, I just can’t believe they’re not there'anymore: : c r;t ; : • -

miles. That’s the approximate distance between where I grew up in New York City, and where now lies a big, empty, 20-acre hole in the ground. Of course, when I woke up on the sunny morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, that 20-acre plot on the Southern tip of Manhattan wasn’t just a hole. That Tuesday was the third day of 10th grade. I was sitting in secondperiod math class when another teacher entered the classroom to inform us that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. That’s where I was when I heard. At the time, it didn’t even cross my mind that it might not be an accident. During the break between second and third periods, rumors began to circulate that a second plane had hit. Then, during third-period chemistry, the assistant principal’s voice began to come over the loudspeaker system. One of the towers had collapsed, she said, and it was feared that the second one could come down too. She asked that any of us whose parents work in or around the World Trade Center would come to the office where we touch with our parents. er, my dad’s midtown law firm had ices were downtown, a block known as Ground Zero.

had never seen anyone fall apart, not so many, not so young. But all around me, kids who were at most one year my senior were down on their hands and knees in the middle of the hallway, backpacks forgotten on the floor at their sides, wanting, crying and praying for their parents. All I could think at the time was, thank God my parents didn’t work anywhere near the World Trade Center. Friends of mine were in absolute hysterics; I could only reassure them as they held onto my arms that everything was going to be ok, that their parents were safe. But who was I to tell them this? I definitely didn’t have any good news for them; I was just as helpless and lost I could only stare. Everything going on around me seemed to fade into the background as I thought about how surreal this beautiful jewel of a Tuesday had become. We hadn’t even had a hill day of school yet—today was supposed to be the first. On my way home, whispers abound about terrorists. One man was reading a Korean newspaper, apparently fresh off the press, with a picture all too familiar now, of smoke billowing out of the two towers on the front page. Damn that was fast. One woman was relating to another about having been evacuated out of her office building. Why? Where do you

THE CHRONICL,E

All images captured by Chronicle photographers in the weeks following September 11th, 2001. Above right is The Chronicle’s Sept. 12 front page

Five

years ago today, in the wee hours of the morning, then-managing editor Jim Herriott and I put to bed the 13th edition of The Chronicle’s 97th volume. Exhausted, I returned to my room, hoping our publishing company would not call with an error, requiring me to return to the office. Instead, hours later, I awoke to the clanging sound of my dorm room phone, and a panicked voice on the other end of the line. “Turn on the television. A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center in New York.” In the following moments, two things struck me: This was the biggest attack in modern U.S. history, and we would be responsible for informing our readers of its national and local ramifications. To pretend I could adequately describe the Chronicle office atmosphere that day would be disingenuous. Like most of the country, we were stunned. To digest emotionally what had happened and what it meant was impossible. Rather than grief or disbelief, it was disconnection that I felt, combined with a drive to do myjob. Pardy I took my duties as an editor seriously, but perhaps more likely I was using The Chronicle—which brought with it my best friends in the world, including my future husband—as away to cope with something that seemed, at the time, in-

comprehensible. The office greeted me that morning with a distraught associate editor and two

news editors hard at work. As others filed in, we began thinking about which stories to report. We would rely on the wire service for national reporting about the facts of the attack, though this was only true to a certain point, as our health and science editor creatively suggested and reported a story on the mechanics of the crash. But we generally focused on the reaction and effect on the Durham community, particularly Duke students, staff, and faculty members. There was the standard story report-

ing theirverbal reactions, another drawing on the expertise of Duke political science professors and a third on students studying in New York. Looking back, two decisions truly made the Sept. 12 edition of the paper what it was: the configuration the front page and the confrontation of an imminent backlash against Arab Americans; On the former, we felt only a photo could do. the story justice. But we thought more carefully about the headline, focusing on whether the word “terror” was appropriate. In retrospect, I am glad we chose to use the headline we did (“Day of Terror”). More generally, I am glad we avoided the sometimes arrogant and inappropriately patriotic headlines of some national papers among them, “Bastards!,” “Unthinkable,” and “Freedom Under Siege.” Perhaps most importantly, we had to decide whether to address the emerging blame on Arab Americans. No one knew who was responsible for the attacks. Speculation on cable news television, notoriously unreliable and particularly emotional on that day, suggested it was the work of Arab terrorists—but they had done this erroneously in the past, as after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. By the afternoon, we realized we should confront the rumors head on, writing a story on the reaction of Arab Americans on campus and printing a letter from the Muslim Students Association. Of course, as any editor would, I find myself questioning some of our decisions as I look back at that edition. Beyond that, though, the entire experience taught me the importance of community in coming to terms with reality. September 11th was a blur to me. So was the next day, the day after that and so on. —

Ambika Doran was the editor of the 97th volume of The Chronicle, during the events of September 11th.

The 9/11 attacks came literally out of the clear blue sky. Not only were they utterly unanticipated. They came on a morning ofbrilliant sunshine, the kind of day when earth is so beautiful it seems no dark thing could ever be in store. I’ll never forget that appalling time. First, the confusion, with the mind refusing to take in the fact the towers had been hit by intention, not some awful mistake. Then the long hours when it seemed that tens of thousands might have been killed. Then the grim days that clarified that the numbers were smaller but the reality of each loss incalculably great. I read the New York Times profiles of each of that day’s victims. Who were they? Ordinary people; men and women of all races, religions and nationalities; people with young kids and friends and fiances; people who had just gone off to start the day of work. We learned things that day. We learned—as others in far too many places around the world have learned—that peaceable people going about their everyday life can be the object of atrocious violence and organized malice. We

learned that this country and its way of life have enemies, and that threats have to be taken seriously if we’re to prevent the ghastly repetition of such events. But terrorism aims to infect its victims with disabling fear, and another lesson is that we can’t allow ourselves to be defined by fear. We can’t be trapped into creating enemies of whole peoples, regions or religions by seeing them in the image of our dread. And we can’t be trapped in a reactive posture that allows adversaries to dictate what we are. In the wake of 9/11, it’s more important than ever that we remember the positive values we subscribe to—freedom of belief and expression, openness to different points of view, the protection ofindividual rights, a community based on diversity, cooperation, and mutual respect—-and to live so as to make these things realities. My thoughts this day are with those who lost beloved friends and family in the 9/11 attack. Richard Brodhead is the president
