ROTC students’ eyes opened BY GINNY THORNTON AND JUSTIN CAPEK THE GAMECOCK The daily lives of USC’s Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) students haven’t changed much since the attacks of Sept. 11. But their perspectives have changed greatly. “I think we all have a greater sense of the importance of what we do," said Col. Chris Campbell, chairman of USC’s Air Force ROTC program and professor of aerospace science. “The students are more aware of the potential danger of their jobs.” Like many Americans, those involved with USC’s ROTC spent much of Sept. 11 trying to keep up with the day’s events. “We were glued to the tube,” said Lt. Col. Lewis Buchanan, director of USC’s Army ROTC. Campbell said that, when he asked one of his classes if they had friends or family members direct ly involved with military opera tions relating to the attacks, “15 or 20 hands shot up. And many of our students have more of a personal interest because they’re within a few months of commissioning.” Buchanan said he has been pleased by the students’ ques tions about the political process and how it relates to internation al affairs. Campbell agreed: “This has given us the opportunity to relate theory and practice.” AFROTC Cadet Captain Alena Taylor said she felt angry that day. “My mom was at the Smithsonian when it happened, and sometimes my dad works at the Pentagon,” she said. “They were okay, but I was definitely worried and mad that they were in danger.” AFROTC Cadet Major Brandy Dales, a fourth-year student, re called feeling shocked when she first heard of the attacks. “I just wanted to be with my kids imme diately —and just give them a hug.” On the day of the attacks, ROTC programs were put on alert. “We were on Delta, which is the highest level of Threat-Con, our warning system,” Dales said. “We couldn’t wear our uniforms that day, which was frustrating for some of us. We wanted to show our support for the military.” Jason Althouse, a fourth-year student and active-duty sub mariner in the army, said the tragedy has had more of an indirect affect on him and on many other members of the military stationed at Fort Jackson. “Other than the heightened security levels and the horrific knowledge of the devastat ing events of Sept 11, life at the base is fairly unchanged,” he said. Dales, a resident of Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, has also no ticed heightened security. “We have lots of security checks, which takes forever,” she said. “It really is good because there’s nowhere safer to be them on base. But I wish we didn’t have to do it at all.” AFROTC Cadet Captain Mary Beth Todd said she’s worried about her brother, a National Guard officer in Walterboro. “He’s on standby,” she said, “which basically means he should be ready to leave anytime. They had a meeting with all the officers and their spouses to make sure they knew it’s likely they may go somewhere.” Third-year student and Naval ROTC member Matthew Piro said the tragedy hasn’t directly affected him so far. “We have been involved in educational dis cussions about the tragic events,” he said, “but no call to action has been made yet. Our role at this moment is to show absolute sup port for the troops who are cur rently on duty in the Middle East and basically support our coun try in general in this dark time.” AFROTC Cadet Captain Jay Gilbert, a fourth-year student, re cently learned he will attend a year of navigator training after he graduates in May. “I could be anywhere after that,” he said. “I’m a little nervous, but I’m ex cited. This has opened my eyes about what my job really is.” Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com. Campus religious groups see attendance rise BY SEAN WALLER THE GAMECOCK After the Sept. 11 attacks, many students and faculty found comfort in their various faiths. One month later, students are starting to get back to their regu lar lives, but they haven’t lost that need for comfort. After the tragedy, many reli gious groups, such as Campus Crusade for Christ, St. Thomas More Catholic Church, the Presbyterian Student Center and PALM Campus Ministry saw in creased attendance at their meet ings and prayer services. Students came with thoughts and questions about the events that were still unfolding. “[Students] have this sense of what’s next, and their sense of security has been shattered” said Guarav Shroff, as sistant chaplain at St. Thomas More Catholic church and an ad viser for the Newman Group, a Catholic student group on campus. The Catholic Student Center held discussion forums to manage all the questions, Shroff heard questions such as, “What does it mean when Jesus says to turn the other cheek; does that mean we just sit back and take this?” and “How do you deal with the problem of evil?” Other groups have been get ting the same kind of response. It “makes students rethink their priorities,” said Erwin Threatt, Attacks Bush reassures nervous country CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 White House to ensure continu ous government in the event of another attack. Bush called the suicide hi jackers “instruments of evil who died in vain.” “Theirs is the worst kind of violence, pure malice while dar ing to claim the authority of God,” Bush said at the Pentagon. “We gave that regime a choice: Turn over the terrorists or face your ruin. They chose unwise ly. Today, for al-Qaida and the Taliban, there is no shelter.... They will be isolated, surround ed, cornered until there is no place to run or hide or rest.” In a memorial service in New York City, workers paused from cleanup duties, took off their helmets and joined arm in arm. “Don’t look at the terrorism over there, look at the heroism over here,” said Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, a Fire Department chaplain. Also on Thursday: ♦ Tours resumed at the United Nations in New York. But the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island remained closed and officials wouldn’t say when the two sym bols of freedom would reopen. ♦ At Boston’s Logan Airport, United and American Airlines employees began a monthlong “flag run” on foot to Los Angeles, symbolically complet ing the planned flight paths of the two jets that were hijacked out of Logan and crashed into the trade center.

The tragedy has been a regular topic of discussion at Campus Crusade meetings. The bombings on Afghanistan have fueled even more talk. The attacks are a “continual topic, and it opens up a lot of doors still to talk to people about spiritual areas of life” Threatt said. Martin Jessiman, a pastor who works at the PALM Center, said no event goes by without some reference to the terrorist attacks. The reverends at PALM are re ceiving “more student input on services, hymns, scripture and how to observe worship,” said Rev. Tom Wall, PALM’s adviser. Campus Crusade and the Newman Group each sponsored a lecture earlier this week. Campus Crusade brought in Dr. Budziszewski, who spoke about his beliefs and interpretation of the Bible. Dr. Austin Hughes spoke for the Newman Group about the Catholic perspective on evolution. Shroff and Threatt both said some meetings will be devoted to these lectures. Religious groups on campus are trying to help students by keeping their regular meeting and prayer group schedules. Prayer groups have slowly been getting back to normal because students are starting to return to their normal routines. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com. Imagine a place...
