September 11 - Out of the Maelstrom refuse to leave him. His senses, he says, are more heightened, and loud noises startle him. The burning smell also brings back the horror. “When I get out of the subway and I smell the burned buildings, my blood pressure goes up,” he admits. “My heart starts to beat faster. I have a little anxiety.” But not enough to make him want to leave New York. Forney is intent on learning how to trade securities on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange, and New York is one of the few cities that offers that opportunity. He continues to work with SMW, though instead of going to his office at the World Trade Center, he now goes directly to the Mercantile Exchange building. His wife is equally determined to stay. “We want to get back to normal as quickly as possible,” Tobey says. “This is a great city, and we want to be here as long as we can.” —David D.

Campus Reacts to National Tragedy Winter 2002 VOL.58, NO.2 Campus Reacts to National Tragedy On September 14, the day President Bush declared a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, students, faculty, and staff alike came from all over campus to gather quietly in front of Fondren Library. They were there to join Americans across the country in memorializing the victims of the terrorist attacks against the United States just four short days earlier and to comfort and support one another. Also See: September 11 - Out of the Maelstrom President Malcolm Gillis; Bill Martin, the Harry and Hazel Chavanne Professor of Religion and Public Policy; and leaders of the Student Association and Graduate Student Association spoke at the event. “Those lost we can no longer help,” Gillis said. “But we can hope that by conveying —silently and aloud—our innermost thoughts of condolence and support, that their friends and families may draw solace from our humble gathering.” Martin talked about the many emotions caused by the terrorist attack. He pointed out that many people probably wondered how the tragedy might alter everyday life. “That you probably had some of these thoughts does not mean you are a bad or a terribly shallow person,” Martin said. “It means that you are human with some self-regarding tendencies, an almost ineradicable characteristic of humans. That it may have bothered you to have such thoughts is also human. Take comfort in the fact that many people also acted altruistically, even heroically, and that you would have too had you been there.” Student Association president Gavin Parks said that on the day of the attack he and co-president Jamie Lisagor visited college commons, where students were gathered around watching the television in disbelief. “I also saw students, associates, RAs, and masters coming together and comforting each other in this time that needs much reflection and thought,” Parks said. “This is a part of the healing process. This is part of the magic of Rice. This is part of why we are a community.” Lisagor called on Rice to “create another series of images, just as powerful and just as memorable as those seen on television: images of a community http://www.rice.edu/sallyport/2002/winter/features/outofthemaelstrom/campusreacts.html (1 of 2) [10/30/2009 11:00:23 AM]
