UGA Guide

Sept. 11: One year later

As the nation gathers to remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001, the UGA community will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks with its own day of remembrance and other events. From student organizations to the Georgia Museum of Art, groups from across campus will honor the memory of those who lost their lives and those who participated in the recovery efforts following the attacks.
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2002, the Chapel bell will be rung by ROTC cadets at the times of the four plane crashes. The Student Government Association will hand out commemorative ribbons at the Tate Student Center and elsewhere on campus throughout the day.
At 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center, the UGA Army ROTC will hold a flag-raising ceremony accompanied by the playing of “Taps.” The colors will be presented at half-staff and a rifle salute will follow. The event will take place at the Military Building on the corner of Baldwin Street and Sanford Drive.
Within hours after the attacks last year, a spontaneous memorial to the victims at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania was created by UGA students. Included in that memorial were hundreds of candles. UGA’s physical plant and library staff carefully preserved the artifacts, including the candle wax, left at the Arch. That wax has been recrafted into a new candle, to be used in the memorial ceremony.
The ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. in front of the main library. The Georgia Brass will perform a patriotic medley and the ROTC color guard will present the U.S. flag. The artifacts collected at the Arch last year will be on display in the library lobby through Sept. 13. Photographs by library photographers Katie Gentilello and Frank Hamrick will show the elements at the Arch last year; the photographs will also be posted in the University Archives section of the Libraries Web site at www.libs.uga.edu/hargrett/archives/index.html.
Joining with museums throughout the United States, the Georgia Museum of Art will mark the one-year anniversary of Sept. 11 with a celebration of freedom. An exhibition of works from the museum’s permanent collection, Freedom will focus on the freedom to assemble, to create, to worship, to inquire and to express ideas--and the freedom from fear. In conjunction with the exhibition, an installation in the museum’s reception hall will invite the community to add words or drawings on materials provided by the museum. These community contributions will be added to the installation, and will be on view through Sept. 15. The exhibition runs through Sept. 22.
The museum also will screen the Home Box Office documentary In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01 at 7 p.m. Sept. 11 in Griffith Auditorium. With Rudolph Giuliani as guide, the program follows the then-mayor and his staff from their first realization of what had occurred through the chaos that followed.
On Sept. 12, the UGA Department of Drama will present “The Guys,” a two-character play featuring a New York City fire captain and the woman editor who helps him write the eulogies for the men he lost in the attacks on the World Trade Centers. Two drama department faculty members, assistant professor Michelle Cuomo and associate professor Ray Paolino, will perform the one-act play.
Written by Anne Nelson, the piece originally opened in New York City with Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver starring and will soon be released as a film featuring Weaver and Anthony LaPaglia.
The play is free and open to the public, and the drama department especially encourages all local firefighters, police personnel and emergency workers to attend. The performance is for general audiences and contains no profanity or sexual content.
There are two performances scheduled: the first at 1 p.m. in the Reception Hall at the Tate Student Center and the second at 8 p.m. in the University Chapel.
Media analyst Douglas Kellner will present a lecture entitled “The World after Sept. 11” on Sept. 12 at 4 p.m. in room 265 of Park Hall. Kellner is the George F. Kneller Philosophy of Education Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. Drawing on his forthcoming book, Kellner will discuss the origins of Sept. 11, its complex set of causes and effects, and how it has and has not changed our world.
Kellner is author of Grand Theft 2000 (2001), The Persian Gulf TV War (1992), Jean Baudrillar: From Marxism to Postmodernism and Beyond (1989) and many other books.
UGA’s counseling and psychological services department will sponsor a special program on Sept. 11 as part of its Lunch and Learn series: “Where Were You on Sept. 11?” Those interested are asked to bring their lunch and gather to reflect on the events of Sept. 11. The program is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. in room 145 of the Tate Student Center and is open to students, faculty and staff.

Third Story Panel Discussion.
“If UGA’s Colors Are Red and Black, Why Are We So White?” 11:10 a.m. Chapel. Sponsored by Center for Humanities and Arts. 542-3966.
On Jan. 9, 2001, at the renaming ceremony for the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building during the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the university’s desegregation, Charlayne Hunter-Gault spoke eloquently of UGA’s racial progress and then challenged the university to do more to attract people of all colors. She said that in 1961 she and Hamilton Holmes had built “the first story” and that with the 2001 celebration the university had built “the second story” of an institution characterized by social justice in race relations.
But the university had more to do, she said. It had to complete a “third story” to make the University of Georgia
a truly great university in our multiracial, multicultural global society of the 21st century.
Victor Wilson, associate vice president for student affairs, and Betty Jean Craige, director of the Center for Humanities and Arts, are co-chairing a “Third Story Committee,” which will explore ways to make the harmonious interaction of races and cultures at the University of Georgia a model for the world. The committee is presently composed of Paige Carmichael, associate professor of pathology; Lioba Moshi, director of the African Studies Institute and associate professor of comparative literature; and Matt Winston, assistant to the president.
The Third Story Committee has decided to initiate an annual “Third Story Panel Discussion” to involve the university community in this long-term effort. Participants in the fall 2002 event will be Lyndon Goodly, president of the Clarke County School District; Reuben May, assistant professor of sociology; Sharon Nichols, dean of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences; Kim Sarabia, an undergraduate student majoring in sociology and political science; and Victor Wilson, who will moderate the discussion.

Jennifer Steinkamp works with new media and video in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, interactivity and phenomenological perception. Her artwork utilizes computer animation and sound to craft immersive interactive projection installations. Moving images and sound are used to transform architecture while the art, in turn, is transformed by the architecture, thus creating the experience of a space in between the real and the imaginary.
She is currently on the faculty of the department of design/media arts at the University of California at Los Angeles.

The Hollywood musical has long been a genre that defines and sells itself as spectacle, romance and song, with stars engaged in fanciful performances. Always a curious sort of movie, torn between the need to tell a story and the desire to entertain, the musical has begun to attract new attention in the disciplines of film and cultural studies. Roundtable panelists will address the “postmodern” synthesis of old musical formulas with contemporary cinematic experimentation in Moulin Rouge, considering the sexuality, visual spectacle, performance and music in relation to the genre historically.
