A wall of scrolls bearing the names of the victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 hung from the walls in Driscoll Ballroom as students marked the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

The DU Program’s Board sponsored the event. However, not many students came to view the scrolls or remember the anniversary.

The ballroom was open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. to allow students to read the scrolls that listed those who died in the terrorist attacks. The names were of those who died in the attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and on the four airplanes used in the attacks. Students could fill out blank postcards and mail them to their families and friends in observance of Sept. 11.

Amy Dible, assistant director of student programs, said that DUPB decided that a memorial that allowed students to reflect on their own would attract the largest number of students.

“Students could stop by on their own time to reflect on their own lives and to be cognizant of the acts of terrorism,” Dibel said. “[This memorial will help students] to move on but not to forget.”

Some students, however, said their expectations for the memorial were not met.

“The atmosphere is powerful,” said Patrick Kunkler, a DU freshman. “But it’s just not enough. There are just names. There are so many good things that the people in those buildings accomplished that needs to be represented-the memory of their lives, not just their names.”

Junior Alexis Michopoulos said that she agreed.

“I’m disappointed in the set-up,” she said. “They could have been more creative. For the memory of such a catastrophic event, they could’ve at least put pictures up.”

By the joint resolution approved Dec. 18, 2001, the Congress designated Sept. 11 as Patriot Day.

Each year, the president issues a proclamation in which he calls on the people of the United States to observe the day with suitable activities.
