Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

While walking to class Tuesday afternoon, a muslim student was physically assaulted and verbally harassed by a white student. Nurakmal Yunos, a Muslim-Malaysian taking classes at IU, was greeting a friend in Arabic when she was forcefully slapped on her back by a white male. According to Yunos, the aggressor asked if "she was going to the mosque for one of those killing-spree classes?" He went on to say, "well you should just go home bitch, we don't want you here. You are nothing but Muslim trash." Yunos said she waited for the male to leave.

By Parker Witman and Parker Wittman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

First take Han Solo and Qui Gon Jinn, give them funny Russian accents and appoint them as captains in the Red navy.

I anticipated that he would tell my family about his experience, after flying home, on the night of that fated Tuesday. But he did not fly home that night. Seconds after turning on CNN and watching the planes fly into the towers, I lost control of myself.
