Over the past week, TEC along with every other newspaper across the world has been consumed with the Attack on America. While we analyze every aspect of the tragedy, we seem to have neglected all of the other stories that on any other Wednesday would be considered newsworthy. A great deal has happened around the world since the two planes crashed into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. Last week, members of the World Trade Organization formaliy cleared Taiwan for admission. British Tornado warplanes bombed a southern Iraqi antiaircraft, retaliating for hostile activities by iraq against planes patrolling a no-fly zone. in the United States, the attack was not the only tragedy last week. In Port Isabel, Texas, a barge and tugboat slammed into a causeway leaving five people dead while three or four remain unaccounted for. Eight student athletes from the University of Wyoming were killed when a truck driver drifted into the wrong lane and collided with the sport utility vechicle that was carrying all eight of the deceased. it™s difficult to remember that anything else is taking place in the world. When we wake in the morning and turn the television on, news programs are fixated on the latest developments Right now, we are all angry - angry and frustrated. It is under- standable. We have seen thousands of lives snuffed out in an instant by madmen who have no compunction whatsoever about killing the old, the young, the weak, and the innocent. To the extent that this anger can be channeled and used to fuel the national will to act decisively against those responsible for this nightmare, it is just and good. But there is another side to this anger, a side that is the very antith- esis of everything America should represent. Already, we are seeing this anger turned inward to attack fellow Americans whose only connection with the attackers is a common ethnicity and faith. In classrooms and hallways, on buses and elevators, you begin to hear it; the use of the word they. Suddenly, all Arabs are suspect, or all Muslims. They have to watched. They can™t be trusted. This has happened before. During World War II, thousands of Japanese Americans were stripped of every- thing they had and placed in intern- ment camps for the duration of the war. This happened despite the fact that virtually all of them proved to be loyal Americans, who loved their new country as much as you or I. In fact, many of these same people later served with great distinction in the invasion of Italy, fighting and dying for the freedoms they and we cherished. And they did this fight- ing and dying while their families were imprisoned behind barbed wire fences in the U.S. How many of us (us being white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants) would have done that? the record™? irresponsible political posturing of a bygone era, have stuck with us because even those who opposed them always supposed we'd fix them later. Later has arrived. There is a renewed recognition that the gov- ernment™s foremost responsibility is in New York and Washington, D.C. When we got to sleep at night, we get one more glimpse at Osama bin Ladin as some news program provides his latest statement. We're not blaming the news for their selection Can't anyone but Bonds break protecting Americans from attack, is considered by his own teammates to win the MVP award last year. His and that other issues can and must of stories, we realize that the recent attacks JAMES IAN ROBSON were like a page out of a Tom Clancy novel. But as Americans, we need to do all we can to acknowledge that there is hurt, pain and suffering everywhere. We need to realize that there are also stories waiting to be told that are full of happiness as well as hope. We need to recognize that we will go on ” that we are going on. We have all watched in awe of Barry Bonds™ stride towards the MLB home run record this baseball season. But to be honest, does anyone, and | mean anyone, really want to see him break the record? Now don™t get me wrong, what we are seeing is history, and anyone that can sustain this kind of streak, at the pace at which he is doing so, deserves to reach their goal which he should do in a few games. He is an MVP, all-star and a great baseball player. lam merely a spectator and a fan of the game. I grew up on baseball being played as a team sport, in which all work towards one goal, as a team. It is well known that Bonds Yet, despite the lessons of history, we are again giving vent to bigotry and hate. Who™s to blame? The Arabs some scream as they spit at innocent children on the street. The Muslims some scream as they attack places of worship. The Reverends Farwell and Robertson now tell us that it is the ACLU and the Liberals and the Homosexuals who have brought this wrath of God on us. We must stop this now, before it goes any further. We cannot allow the insane terrorists who attacked our nation last Tuesday to divide us in this way. If we do, we grant them victory. The Attorney General has made clear that any act of violence or discrimination against a person based on the perceived race, religion or national origin of that person is contrary to our fundamental prin- ciples and the laws of the United States. His statement is a reminder to all Americans that Americans of Arab or South Asian decent and people of the Muslim faith were also injured and killed in Tuesday™s attacks. In addition, they also are -along with other Americans -involved in relief operations, and other efforts to allevi- ate suffering. Any threats of violence or discrimination against Arab or Muslim Americans or Americans of South Asian descents are not just wrong and un-American, but also are unlawful and will be treated as such, -Statement from Assistant Attorney General Ralph F. Boyd Jr. Daniel Ketchum Graduate Student History Recent attacks will turn us into a new breed of Americans AMY RIDENOUR Centuries are measured in books by dates and in minds by events. In the national memory, the terrorist war on the United States that began Sept. 11, 2001 will mark the begin- ning of the 21st century. We think of the 20th century beginning not in 1901, but with World War I. A fitting beginning, because in World War I the United States transformed itself from a nation turned inward from the world to a nation that still dominates the earth. Our biggest horizon had been the American West. Our military challenges had always been centered in North America. As World War I began, so did a new century for Americans: one in which our outlook was profoundly different from what it had been before. Throughout the 20th century, Americans felt safe at home. We weren't always safe -particularly after the dawn of the atomic age - but we felt safe. Nuclear war, while possible, was unthinkable, and so we largely were untouched by its specter. Terrorism happened in other countries, to other people. To 20th- century Americans, America was an invulnerable fortress. At home, we were safe. Sept. 11 ushered in a new era. We're 21st-century Americans now. We know, not just in our heads, where we™ve long acknowledged it, but in our hearts, where we never, did, that it can happen here. As we mourn the victims of these terrorist attacks and the tremendous burdens of loss faced by their families and those who knew them well, we also will mourn the loss of our sense of safety. We also may expect to mourn the loss of some of the daily freedoms we once took casually for granted, as this new war will for most Americans be measured in the inconvenience of security measures that most likely will last for years to come. But we can take heart in the fact that our™ new awareness of danger will spur us to act in ways that someday may - save many lives. Democrats and Republicans together are taking a fresh look at methods and technolo- gies that can help protect us. Measures to acquire intelligence > of terrorist activities and early warn- ings of future acts will be increased , and improved. Deployment of a missile defense system to protect Americans from what would be even worse than what we've just suffered -a nuclear attack -will become less controversial and receive more bipartisan support. Immediately after , the Vietnam War it was fashionable to downplay the need for intelligence services and to pretend that America could defend itself without getting its hands dirty. Laws enacted during that time have hobbled our means of protecting ourselves ever since. These _ dangerous policies, reflective of the as a prima donna, and if asked if the word team were spelled with an 1, he would say it probably is. Not because he is ignorant, but just because that™s how much he cares only about himself. He is openly arrogant, and has been referred to by Sports Mlustrated Magazine as an MTV Diva, only with bigger earrings. Even when Bonds hit his 500 home run, (a milestone that only a few ballplayers have ever reached) only the Giants bat-girl came to congratulate him at home plate. He doesn™t eat, celebrate, or even show up for team pictures with the team. Bonds went so far as to have his entourage call the commissioner of baseball's office to ensure that he, not teammate Jeff Kent, was going caveat; he needed to know because if he did not, then he was leaving town for good. Arguably, | believe we saw the best season of MLB™s long existence three years ago. The ongoing battle between two rivals Mark Mc Gwire and Sammy Sosa, was something special. What was even more special was the friendship that the two made throughout their race for the record. We all have seen the famous video after Mc Gwire broke the record, of his friend and rival Sammy Sosa being one of the first to congratulate and hug his competitor. Now that was basebail,.that was our pastime at its best. It is just too bad that Barry Bonds is what baseball fans must settle for now. wait. The steps we take now may at some future date save millions of lives. In the immediate aftermath of these terrorist attacks, our™ public is unified and our attention is focused on the task before us. But in coming weeks, comprehensive nonstop tele- vision coverage of this feral terrorist butchery will cease. We'll be tempted to turn our thoughts to more pleasant things. We must not succumb until the task at hand is complete. At another scene of horrific carnage and war President Lincoln spoke words that helped us once. They can again. We must here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. TEC encourages all students to take an active role in the university as well as their community and state governments.

KEE STUDENT RECREATION REPORTS There are many rivalries that exist inside the college football world such as Florida St. versus Florida, Oklahoma/Nebraska and ECU/State, but none of these are as pride laden or as exciting to watch as the epic battles of Red versus Gold. Yes, that is right, I™m talking about Intramural Sports on the campus of ECU. Hopefully, you have participated, or at least heard about the rivalries that the Blount Recreational Com- plex garnishes. The competition is back for the 2001 season, and the Student Rec- reation Center is looking forward to providing a good one for ECU's students, faculty and staff. Last year, many teams competed in the fast paced, action-packed intramural sport of flag football. This year should be even more exciting as the defending champions from 2001 try to hold on to their titles. The men™s Independent Gold League is the most competitive one inside of the flag football program. Most of the players share the same play to win spirit that exists in all collegiate sports. Last year, the Explo- sion, led by captain Mike Stroud, took the title. The Men™s Independent Purple league is designed for the more recreational players and teams that are not looking for high levels of competition. Although, it is designed in this form, competition usually becomes more heated than the Independent Gold League. Last year, team Bucho won the purple and All-Campus Cham- pionship. You can expect captain Tim Dameron to have some of the best athletes on the field. SRC also offers a Women™s Inde- pendent League for the ladies who like to grind it out. Good luck to new participants, because this league has been domi- nated dominated by the The Cre- oles for the last seven years.
