Note Worthy

As the cool nighttime breeze filters through your dorm room window, you can faintly hear it. One voice begins and slowly turns into a harmonic blend of a cappella pitches as more voices join in, filling the late summer air. You immediately abandon your studies and rush outside with your friends to join the crowd outside your dorm.

Odds and Ends

A brotherhood united As members of New York City's police and fire departments continue to work around the clock at ground zero in the dauntless search for survivors, one University group has stepped in, hoping to aid in the disaster relief. Beginning yesterday at noon, the brothers of Delta Upsilon fraternity began hosting a drive for food, clothing and supplies to support the rescue effort in response to the recent tragedy in New York City and to aid those left homeless by the disaster. "We have a lot of guys from New York in our house and a lot of people were intimately affected by the events," said Ben Brunjes, a third-year College student and Delta Upsilon's vice-president.

Sounds silenced in wake of attacks

Did you hear?" Yes. We all did. The first sound was a knock on the bedroom door - soft, tentative - as though it could simultaneously wake the intended person while allowing the other roommate to sleep. Next, the voice inside your own head: It's only 9:30 a.m.

Mending the Wounds

WASHINGTON Never has a gas station seemed so important. A place that was just two days ago a run-of-the-mill Citgo Mini-Mart catering to Pentagon employees and officials is now host to a sea of television vans, their cables pointing skyward like spindly fingers toward the gaping - and still smoldering - hole in the world's largest office building. The infamous United aircraft that veered on a 270 degree course out of Dulles Airport smashed through three of the five rings of the Pentagon on Tuesday.
