Campus, world unite in time of disaster

MANAGING EDITOR
Anger and disbelief engulfed Fair-field
University this past Tuesday as the
worst act of terrorism in United States
history shook the community and the city
that never sleeps.
Students awoke Tuesday morning to
discover that both of New York City's
World Trade Center buildings, para-digms
of America's success in demo-cratic
capitalism, had been the victims
of terrorist attacks.
"It's difficult enough imagining
something like this could happen," said
Mark Sheridan '03. "Actually seeing it
in our own backyard really scares you."
Reaction on campus was swift, with
classes being cancelled for the remain-der
of the day at approximately 10:00
a.m.
Campus security was quickly tight-ened.
All campus entrances were closed
except for North Benson Road. Secu-rity
officers checked-all cars entering for
the remainder of the day.
Because of Fairfield's close prox-imity
to New York, many friends and
family members of both students and
faculty were left wondering all day if a
loved one had been a victim of the trag-edy.
Counseling Services and Campus
Ministry quickly organized and planned
activities and services for those affected
by the tragedy. Mass was held at 2:00
p.m. outside of the Egan Chapel and a
candle light vigil took place later that
night at 9:00 p.m.
Students filed out of the dorm rooms
in massive numbers at 2:00 p.m. for the
mass led by Father Paul Carrier.
"Don't be afraid, we're not alone,"
Father Carrier said to the crowd. "Pray.
pray, keep praying so the love in our
hearts doesn't disappear."
Counseling Services and Campus
Ministry continued to work to try to
reach any student hurt by the day's tre-mendous
loss of life.
"We're doing what we can and stay-ing
in touch with students," said Susan
Birge. Director of Counseling Services.
In order to stay in touch, counsel-ing
services went on 24-hour call, ready
to meet the needs of any student. Fur-thermore,
