The student was of Middle eastern descent but a representative said he was only arrested after he ignored a warning to stay away from emergency vehicles. The student's attorney said his client only wanted the pictures for his collection. There is a thriving online community of former officers and civilians who are interested in police vehicles. Online memorial plannedfor9l I The University of Arizona will participate in a Sept. 1 1 memorial by showing artistic performances online and holding a real-time chat about the attacks. The event is part of a global online memorial. On September 11, 2003, UA will unveil the compilation of information gathered at an after the event in an interactive email. Amber alert proposed to go national Senators who back a national child abduction alert system said Tuesday that they predict it will pass quickly. The Amber alert bill would set up a national network for distributing alerts when a child is abducted. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over the bill. Universities want to own stock Two Utah public research universities are backing a proposed state constitutional amendment that would allow them to own stock in companies to which they have licensed their intellectual property. Currently the state constitution does not allow state ownership of private stock and bars the loaning of public money to private enterprises. The constitutional provision came from Utah's old railroad days, when investment in railway stock was as fervent and speculative as putting cash in to dot-com ventures became in the last decade. Supporters of amending the constitution contend that the reasoning for the prohibition is anachronistic. Water district will buy customers a new toilet A Water Conservation District in Utah is giving residents within the district a chance to by water -conserving toilets for very little money. If the project proves to be cost effective it may be expanded. The deal would allow certain residence to purchase new toilets that save water for only $20 even though they commonly cost about $200. f AMPIS MWS (JV THE WEB AXD OS THE Tl'BE NetXNGws.net Don't forget, you can see NetXNews broadcast daily on the campus monitors every hour on the hour.

Michael Leavitt will host a reflection ceremony at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. September 1 1th is officially known as Patriut Day in the state of Utah, as the state legislature named the day to remember the events of Sept 1 1th. That evening the capitol Hag will be raised as a symbol of resiliency. Residents of Utah have also been asked by the Governor to drive with their headlights on as a symbol of vigilance and .hope. Ceremonies w ill be held across the state. The Red Cross has organized a procession that will travel through downtown Salt Lake City and w ill end with a program at the Gallivan Center. Another procession will be open to the public to capture the sense of unity Utah enjoyed during the 2002 Winter Games. This community walk will end at Franklin Covey Field, where inside the Utah Symphony will perform a free 90-minute program at 7 p.m. for the public. This event is planned as a commemoration and respectful remembrance.Utah members of Congress Sen. Bob Bennett and Rep. Chris Cannon participated in a special session of congress in New York City on Sept 6 to commemorate the victims at a solemn ground-zero ceremony. The event was the first time in 15 years Congress has convened outside Washington. On the morning of the Sept 1 1th anniversary members of cougies'v ill join in a commemorative joint meeting at Federal Mall. Both I louse and Senate leaders will make comments in remembrance of the more than 2,800 people who died in the attacks. Afterwards, they will attend a luncheon with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and then travel to ground zero to participate in a special wreath- placing at the site. President Bush is planning a full day of remembrance by visiting the three terrorist attack sites. He will officially begin the day with the First Lady in prayer at a morning church service in Washington. He will then return to the White House to observ e a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the moment the first plane hit World Trade Centers in New York. From there he will head to the Pentagon and visit the site where terrorists brought the attack upon the nation's capital. The president and Mrs. Bush will then travel to Shanksville, PA and lay a wreath at the field where Flight 93 crashed. The passengers of the flight are said to have rushed the cabin of the hijacked flight and were able to bring the plane down, where it was presumably on its way to another target in Washington. "Let's Roll!" said by one of the passengers as they voted to take on the hijackers, became one of the popular sayings by President Bush as the plane crash is said to be the first victory in the war on terrorism. New York will be the final destination of the day for the President as he attends a ceremony at ground zero where he will visit the site of the former World Trade Center towers. He will also light an eternal flame in Battery Park in south Manhattan. That evening President Bush will address the nation from New York at 9:01 pm.

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will begin the day by reading the names of the victims from the 'victims'' continued on page 5 By Michael Strong OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF Not too long ago, in a place too close to home, America was alfronted by terrorists. On September 11, 2002 Utah Valley State College is having a memorial for the victims of 91 1. For most people, the events that occurred seemed distant and surreal, but there are some UVSC students and professors that know the tragedy personally. Some even lost close relatives and friends. "I was scared because my Aunt worked at the Pentagon. She wasn't working that day, but we were worried." says Tambi Omser, a Utah Valley State College student. In recognition of 91 1. Student Government is hav ing a tribute in the Quad. At 12:30 Dean Bill Cobb will speak, then there will be a moment of silence. "It's a wonderful idea... I think it's along the same lines as the Holocaust. If you don't remember, you forget," says adjunct instructor Marilyn Jenkins. She is supporting Student Government and allowing her 12 pm class to attend the tribute on September 1 1 . ASUVSC is hoping that the faculty will cooperate and let pupils out of class so that they may attend the memorial. "I feel it's important enough that they should let the studc"N out." savs Jim Bassi. the student Vice President of Academics. Bassisays, "1 was in math c'.ivs on cairpu, on Sapaaniber 1 1. There was a guy with a pJaa pjl a an J K: Lap! a ing us updates.. .we cou'dn't believe n! I don't thu wo rc.X '.! the magnitude of what iuJ happened." A year later, Jim B.ism plats to write leu."; to In '. at that are serving the country in the Armed Forces. Br . a Spuhler, UVSC Ombudsman, plans to spend 9 i 1 re same way he did last year.. .watching CNN. "I was driv ing my wife to work. ..we didn't have cable, so I went to Gandolfo's to figure out what was going on. 1 ended up spending 6-7 hours watching CNN," says Spuhler. When the Ombudsman was asked about racial profiling, he said, "For half a second it does run through your brain. ..it is a conscious effort to not profile." A Criminal Justice student, Adrian Burton said. "On September 1 1 I saw the TV as the second plane hit. I thought I was still dreaming. Then, I went and called my friend that w as getting ready to go on a mission to New York." For attendants of Utah Valley State College that are dealing with emotional difficulties, there will be psychologists av ailable to help from 10am-2pm in the Health and Wellness Center. Steven Thompson, a Computer Science student says. "I think that the terrorists should be punished. We should find Osama Bin Laden. ..smoke him out, as our President says." Students griev ing on this day are not alone. President George W. Bush will be observ ing a moment of silence at 8:46 EDT, w hen the first jet crashed into the World Trade Center. At 9 pm the president will be addressing the nation from New York City about events of the past and goals for the future in the war against terrorism. The New Scientist magazine reports that 12 weeks after the terrorist atrocity there were fires still burning in New York City. It took nearly a year to remove the rubble from the place where President George W. Bush will be on September 1 1. 2002.
