As citizens recalled the destruc-tion of the Twin Towers, the attack on the Pentagon, and the plane crash in Shanksville, Pa., the gov-ernment closed American embassies around the world and issued heightened security alerts. While commemorative cere-monies were held across the nation, TU paused to hold it's own day of remembrance and mourning in the honor of those whose lives were taken last Sept. 11. The campus woke on Wednesday morning to the tolling of the Stephens Hall Bell. Students, facul-ty and staff held a moment of silence for each ringing of the bell. The observance began at 8:45 a.m. to remember those who died in the first tower. The bell proceed to ring at 9:03 a.m., 9:43 a.m., and 10:10 a.m. in memory of those who died in the second tower, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania.
