'United We Stand'

By John Rodgers · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:47 a.m.

For most Americans, the date Sept. 11 manifests a multitude of feelings. From thoughts of loss and fear to an inspired sense of patriotism and national unity, Americans faced the tragedy and dealt with it in their own way. One year later, coach Amy Robertson and the field hockey team still use the emotions and a motto provoked by Sept. 11 to inspire greater team unity.

Sept. 11 hits close to home for fullback, coach

By Alex Hickey · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:46 a.m.

For most Americans, Sept. 11 has become a landmark that is vividly cemented in their memories. Just as generations before remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, or what they were doing when the Challenger exploded, people of all generations can clearly recollect what they were doing when the news that the World Trade Center was struck by two planes reached them.

Study released

By Samantha Thompson · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:12 a.m.

Jerry Springer has become an icon of pop culture. His daytime TV talk show has been on the air since the mid-90s and has found quite a following, possibly more for its outrageous guests than its moral content. But according to one new IU study, when tuning in to see the latest incestuous love triangle, or to find out that David's secret life includes women's underwear and his lover Paul, viewers are also receiving a dose of morality.

Lounge closed to students

By Jackie Corgan · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:11 a.m.

Last year, students entering the ground floor of Ballantine Hall were greeted with the occasional smell of popcorn and the murmur of students going in and out of the front lounge. This year, the double doors on either end of the room are closed off. They're locked and bear signs that ward off students letting them know the room is for faculty and staff only. The room is now a quiet haven for key-holders to enjoy the increased privacy and air conditioning to hold meetings, grade papers and work on course tasks.

RA's offer support today to dorm residents

By Jamie Lusk · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:09 a.m.

Sept. 11 is a day that will be etched in the minds of Americans forever. For many students on campus, the one-year anniversary of this tragic event will be a difficult day. If students who live in residence halls are having a hard time, they have many people with whom to talk.

Tribute to firemen strikes chord

By Emily Veach · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:04 a.m.

Many books were written immediately after Sept. 11, but none were able to capture as much raw emotion as David Halberstam's Firehouse. Halberstam, a journalist and historian who lives with his family on 67th Street on Manhattan's west side had never visited the fire station just blocks from his home until, "On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, two rigs carrying thirteen men set out from this firehouse; twelve of the men would never return."

11 reflections on 9/11: Kimberli Owens, Junior

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:38 a.m.

In my personal experience it has made me more aware of the weaknesses in our country. We aren't impenetrable. It made me think about the terrorism that occurs in other places on a day-to-day basis. Places that harvest this kind of hatred that have yet to solve their differences.

11 reflections on 9/11: John Fernandez, Bloomington mayor

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:37 a.m.

I think we will always remember the images, impressions and feelings that were part of our 9/11 experience. I will always remember the horrible and terrifying images of the planes going into the towers and the towers' collapse. I will always remember the expressions on the faces of the firemen and the policemen, exhausted from grueling work and covered with soot, crying for their losses and for those of everyone around them.

11 reflections on 9/11: Bill Gray, IUSA president

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:36 a.m.

Every recent generation in our country's history has identified with a tragic day. Our grandparents all remember exactly what they were doing when they heard about Pearl Harbor; our parents can all remember the fear and sadness that they felt when JFK was assassinated: Our generation will never forget Sept. 11, 2001.

11 reflections on 9/11: Eric Peterson, Sophomore

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:35 a.m.

When I think of Sept. 11 the images that stick in my mind are those of the thousands of people who tried their best to make a horrible situation somewhat better. But these people are not just the brave firemen who risked their lives in New York, I found a group of people here in Bloomington that helped make the day that should be my favorite date of the year into something that I will forever cherish. Sept. 11 was my 19th birthday, a day that should be filled with happiness and gifts, cakes, and whatnot. The day though was forever marred by an unspeakable event that will forever haunt that day.

11 reflections on 9/11: Steve Netter, Graduate student

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:35 a.m.

I was working in Jersey City, N.J., directly across from the WTC on the other side of the Hudson River. After the planes hit, everyone stopped working and became fixated on Lower Manhattan. It never crossed my mind that the towers were in danger of collapsing. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. I had a front row seat as the first one collapsed and remember repeating, "This isn't happening." It was quite a surreal moment. I was in complete shock and denial as I watched in horror and heard the screams around me. In no more than a few minutes, all of Lower Manhattan had disappeared in a dark cloud.

11 reflections on 9/11: Jane Torres, Main Library technical services

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:35 a.m.

I knew that Sept. 11 was going to be an unusually good day. It was my birthday. I am a IU Main Library employee and I knew that when I went to my desk that morning I would find cards from several of my co-workers and there would be the good-natured razzing about getting older. Later that evening I was being taken to dinner by my children. I'm one of the earlier people to arrive at work and sure enough, when I got there, there were cards on my desk. I had just made the decision regarding which sticker from a sheet that came in one of the cards to wear for the day -- I chose "Senior Citizen in Training." Seemed appropriate enough!

11 reflections on 9/11: Mohamed Yusuf, IU Muslim Student Union president

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:33 a.m.

As I reflect on the events of September 11th, I remember the shock and disbelief with which I viewed the images on television and like most of us, I felt a deep connection with the people in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, with those on the airplanes, with the parents, with the relatives and with the friends who had lost their loved ones. As a leader on campus, I also went through a lot of other emotions such as the concern for the safety of the many Muslims on campus and the concern for the security and future of those who are of Middle Eastern descent or who practice the religion of Islam here in the U.S. and abroad. I have realized that although we as a nation have been united in many more ways than we were a year ago, we are still in search of a new meaning and context. Our own basic freedoms, including our freedom of movement, are being suppressed in more ways than we could expect.

11 reflections on 9/11 Myles Brand, IU president

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:32 a.m.

Sept. 11, 2001 is a date that will remain etched in the minds of today's college students just as the dates Nov. 22, 1963 and Dec. 7, 1941 remain in the memories of their parents and grandparents. We remember the tragedy of one year ago. We share the sorrow of those whose friends and family members perished. We recognize the bravery of policemen, firemen and all the "everyday heroes" who saved lives by putting their own at risk.

11 reflections on 9/11 Ryan Todd, senior

Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 12:32 a.m.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was shocked, confused and saddened by what I saw. I recall how silent everything was while I was walking the two blocks to class. Normally their is a lot a noise and people walking around but that day everyone I saw was somber and no words were said because everyone knew what the other was feeling.
