MAURA BUCK EDITOR IN CHIEF Flags were lowered to half-mast on the campus of ECU yesterday as stunned students sat glued to televi-sions, watching as our nation fell prey to terrorism. In an attack that is being referred to as a modern-day Pearl Harbor, thousands are feared dead and the nation is gripped with fear. As horror descended upon the country just 24 hours ago, concerned faculty and staff members at ECU convened at the International House to discuss potential student con-cerns. The group focused on students who have loved ones in any of the attacked areas as well as international students. "We want everybody [at ECU] to be calm and comfortable," said Rita Gonsalves, interim director of international affairs. "|Students] should know that we will d we can to help them throug tragedy." Emanuele Amaro, director of housing, encourages students who are in need of help to seek out assis-tance from someone at the univer-sity. "Students should know that we will do everything we possibly can to help them," said Amaro. "We need to stress how important it is that students establish contact with family ... even if it means we sit them down and continually hit redial to see ATTACK page A2 CAST ONLI NE SURVEY 'FIND US TODAY TOMORROW THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ON THE WEB Special coverage of the Sunny High is 83 Partly cloudy High is 83 252.328.6366 252.328.2000 (newsroom) (advertising) Did you lose a family member in the terrorist attack? www.theeastcarolinian.com editor@theeastcarolinian.com "Attack on America" THE EAST CAROLINIANS

PAGE A2 OU, CC University handles attack Security added, student reaction ANGELA HARNENEWS ZOAL NEWS EDITOR Yesterday's attack is, by far, the most devastating event in history and this is merely the pref-ace to a book of war that we pray will come to an end without further disaster. News Editor ANGELA HARNE Assistant News Editor DENNIS MITCHELL news@theeastcarolinian.com 252.328.6366 Yesterday's date was 9-11, typically just numbers representative of emergency ... now it is branded into the hearts and souls of Americans as the most insane example of emergency since the creation of mankind. As the events of Tuesday, September 11th unfolded, our minds transformed into an utter state of melancholy, while our bodies succumbed to an overwhelming invasion of numbness. It wasn't the scene of the smoke cloud formerly known as New York City affixed to every televi-sion globally, or the distraught images depicting the true definition of chaos. It wasn't even the sheer statistics of the event that will forever change the worid, and it wasn't the hate brewing in the pits of our existence towards the culprit of this disaster. The sole moment that will forever be imbedded in our minds is the satellite image of Palestinian children in the streets of their city, celebrating as if they were college students on Cinco de Mayo. Children ... innocent and equaily clueless, foolishly celebrating the deaths of thousands of American citizens. Americans shed gallons of tears, while in an utter state of travesty, shock and disbelief. Meanwhile, those children were playing in the streets as if it was a holiday festival .. with a sense of pride brainwashed into them... tragically instilled virtues of hate and violence into their generation. These children represent one aspect of the future of our world, and we are timorous of the days to come. We cannot describe, with adjectives of any language, the emotions that.infiltrated our being. Yesterday's attack is, by far, the most devastating event in history and this is merely the preface to a book of war that we pray will come to an end without further disaster. Americans have united together, physically: by helping clear debris out of New York City and graciously donating blood for the attack victims. Emotionally: as we join together in mourning this tragedy our nation has so wrongfully endured. Somewhere in the midst of this day of infamy, we discovered a feeling of love spreading within our souls. Love for our family and friends, whom are the epitome of ail that matters to us. Feelings of unity, and discovery of a new family; while a handful of rookie journalists scrambled for 15 straight hours to put together the most significant work of literature in our lifetimes. And pride ... the pride that lies within each one of us, as we know life will go on, and America will flourish again. Our deepest, most sincere regards go out to the victims of this tragedy and their families, and to America as a nation; for we will all suffer in many ways. In the next days will come, we will learn the names of those loved ones that were injured or died in yesterday's tragedy, and things will not get easier for a moment. In this time of need, we must refuse to let feelings of hate and revenge overwhelm us. Instead, we must search for those feelings of love, pride and unity that lie within each of our souls. We are the United States of America ... the united citizens of America ... and for that reason, we will persevere. The university responded to the American tragedy by enforcing police officials throughout the campus yesterday. According to Sergeant Shari Williams of the ECU police department, the police were on special alert. "Police are doing building searches and staff has been increased," said Williams. While the United States reacted to the attack, the International House also responded. The house held a meeting to provide support to students and give them the opportunity to get in touch with their family overseas to let them know they are safe. The house said they are available to all students that need support at this time. Students expressed their emotion on the American attack. "My mom was the first person I called," said junior Amy Martin. Martin said she knows a lot of people that are in the military and is concerned. Junior Tiffany Ray said the United States is probably going to war. "Over half my family is in the military and it's scary," said Ray. Junior Ernest Daily said his whole family lives in New York. "I'm worried," said Daily. "i went to the first phone when | heard about it, but once the Trade Center goes, so do the phones and television in New York City." Chancellor William Muse said the university will be flexible in meeting the needs of members of the university community, especially those who have relatives or friends who were victims of the attacks. The university will also accommodate members of the National Guard or reserve units who may be called up.

Teresa Crocker, ECU Chief of Police, wants students to feel comfortable contacting the police department for whatever they may need. "We want to provide students with the services they need," said Crocker. "In many other countries, contacting the police department is not an immediate response, | want students to know that we are here when they need us." Gonsalves encourages any student who has feelings of anxiety or fear to contact the International House 328-1936. _ This writer can be contacted at editor@theeastcarolinian.com.

"We ali need to keep in mind not to overreact and speculate," said psychologist Dr. Nancy Badger. While this is a devastating and tragic event, Badger advises students to wait and let the event play out before allowing their anger and anxiety to take control. "It is important for students to keep their anger in check and direct it in an appropriate manner," Badger said, Badger, who works in the Center for Counseling and Student Develop-ment wants students to be aware of their feelings and deal with them effectively. If students are over-whelmed or seek further guidance they are welcome to attend the daily support group meetings in room 316 of the Wright Building. These meetings scheduled for noon each day are open to anyone, and walk-in appointments for those unable to attend are welcomed as well. Dr. Michael Brown, Chair of the Psychology Department and Disaster increasingly prepared in disaster events as well as being a premier mental health provider for air disas-ters which are both factors in this attack," said Brown. In the wake of the attack, Brown believes that people will tend to be anxious about their safety and for some this will be overwhelming enough to deprive sleep and eating and raise anxiety. "If you know someone with friends or family closely affected, being with them and allowing them to voice their feelings is the best thing you can do," Brown said. "People by in large make it through disaster by support." Although the hustle and commo-tion regarding the attack will distract most Americans, Brown affirms that trying to maintain a normal routine helps alleviate the overwhelming stress of the situation.

Eight games were scheduled Tues-day in the first round of the European Champions League, with games in Istanbul, Turkey; Kiev, Ukraine; Liverpool, England; Mallorca, Spain; Moscow; Nantes, France; Rome; and Schalke, Germany. The Glascow Rangers, seeking to have Thursday's UEFA Cup game in the unsettled Russian region of Dagestan postponed, immediately appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "The scheduling of this game is now in the hands of the Court 'of Arbitration for Sport following a referral by Rangers FC," UEFA said. "UEFA will be guided by the decision of the court on this matter." Gerhard Aigner, chief executive of the Union of European Football Associations, said there would be a moment of silence at all UEFA games _ out of respect for the victims.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN � NEWS PAGE A9StaffphotoHONG KONG, China (CNN)-Governments around the world condemned Tuesday's attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the United States. The response was particularly strong in the Middle East, an area accustomed to dealing with terrorist attacks on its own soil. Further east in Asia, nations expressed their official condolences and increased security around U.S. interests and sought word on their own citizens and staff in the U.S. In the Pakistani capital, Islam-abad, the Taliban's ambassador to Pakistan expressed grief over the attack. "We want to tell the American children that Afghanistan feels your pain and we hope that the courts find justice," Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef said. The Islamic Taliban is the control-ling power in Afghanistan. Pakistan's President, General Pervez Musharraf, called the assault "prutal and horrible." He expressed the sentiments of many leaders and countries around the world. "The peopie and government of Pakistan deeply mourn the enormous and unprecedented loss of innocent lives," Musharraf said. "We share the grief of the American people in this grave national tragedy." It is undoubtedly the worst peace-time attack, ever, on a single nation. It is unclear how many people have died in the attacks, which involved hijacked commercial air-lines crashing into some of the most important and symbolic buildings in the United States. But the death toll is certain to be horrific. One U.S. politician likened it toa second Pearl Harbor, referring to the Japanese attack on U.S. ships during World War II. On Tuesday, Japan's government and many Japanese companies were left searching desperately for their own citizens. Around 20 Japanese companies had offices in the World Trade Center. Japan's Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi, was called back to the official residence to huddle with cabinet members. "This incident in the United States-is extremely cowardly and is beyond wait any words can describe," Koizumi said, in a message to U.S. President George W. Bush.

The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder where intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat, but they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world, and no one will keep that light from shining. Today our nation saw evil - the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. Immediately following the first attack, I imple-mented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D. C. to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens - at home and around the world - from further attacks. The functions of our government continue with interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong and the American economy will be open for business as well. underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforce-ment communi-ties to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no dis-tinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. Il appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemming these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolensces and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world. And we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve. For the children whose worlds have been shat-tered. For all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they 'will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me. This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. Thank you, good night, and God bless America. TEC is now hiring copy editors.
