Leaders honor victims at service normal President promises diplomatic campaign The Washington Post WASHINGTON - As the nation formally ended 12 days of mourning yesterday, Bush administration offi- cials cautioned Americans not to expect a massive mili- tary response to the Sept. 11 attacks but a silent and invisible diplomatic and financial campaign aimed at crippling terrorists. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the Bush admin- istration is producing a document that will contain compelling evidence showing that Saudi extremist Osama bin Laden and his global terrorist network, al Qaeda, were responsible for the devastating attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "I think in the near future, we'll be able to put out a paper, a document, that will describe quite clearly the evidence that we have linking him to the attack," Powell said on the NBC news program "Meet the Press." The remarks by Powell and other administration offi- cials were part of an effort to portray a calm, methodi- cal response to the terrorist assaults, buying time for the administration from an American public craving revenge. "The campaign has begun," Powell promised in remarks to two television networks yesterday, echoed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. The assurance that the government is acting - even if the actions aren't yet visible - came as Americans struggled to return to daily rituals. At Camp David, the president and first lady put their hands to their hearts as Marines raised the American flag to full staff while the Marine band played a drum roll and the Star-Spangled Banner. The three-minute ceremony was the formal end to the government- declared mourning period, during which flags flew at half staff.

"It's a fine line being a cheerleader but also allowing the person to have their deep feelings." Grief and Loss Coordinator Susan Wintermeyer-Pingel, who has also worked 16 years as a nurse in the Cancer Cen- ter, said the family and friends of victims shouldn't hide their pain. "People need to talk about it and get help when you need help. It's though talking about death, but it's okay to ask for help," she said. Ann Arbor resident Ladale Brown, whose wife died of cancer, said he came to share his experiences as a tribute to her and other cancer victims. He said speaking at the event helped console his pain. "You don't feel so alone," he said. "I met people who have already been where I've am in the grieving process and talking to them was really encouraging to me." Rev. Joel Beam, who led a prayer service at the vigil, said he was moved.by the outpouring of support. "I had to forget that I had to be involved in the service emotionally as well as being involved actively in directing the choir," he said. "It's an extremely powerful ceremony, and I'm privileged to be a part of it." Beam, who is also the chaplain at th-e Cancer Center, 'deals with cancer patients daily.

"Today we offer a prayer for America said actor James Earl Jones, opening the ceremony. "Our nation is united as never before. We are united not only in our grief, but also in our resolve to build a better world. At this service, we seek to summon what Abraham Lincoln called the "better angels of our nature." Security was heavy at the ballpark in the Bronx and the crowd filled about half the sta- dium.

When it became apparent that so many seats were unfilled, the general public was invited in an hour before the service.. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was careful to call it a prayer service rather than a memori- al service, insisting that hope was not lost for some of the 6,453 people missing - the number was raised again yesterday - in the wreckage of the World Trade Center. No survivors have been pulled alive from the ruins since the day after the Sept. 11 dis- aster. Hosts for the service were Jones and Oprah Winfrey. The program included prayers led by Cardinal Edward Egan and Imam Izak-El Pasha, and patriotic and inspirational songs led by Bette Midler, Placido Domingo and Lee Greenwood. Political leaders, including former Presi- dent Clinton and U.S. Senators Hillary Rod- ham Clinton and Charles Schumer, were also on hand. The crowd chanted "Rudy" when Giuliani walked to the podium set up near second base. The American Red Cross handed out tissue packets to those arriving for the service. Sev- eral people held up signs with photographs of those missing in the Trade Center attack. Representatives from a range of religions were evident in the crowd. A group of about 20 men in orange, red, white, blue and pink turbans carried a sign saying that Sikhs con, demn terrorism.

"I am a 15-year cancer survivor and I've lost a sister to brain cancer, so the event has a special meaning to me - the importance to give people a place to share their losses and become strengthened by others," Solvay said. Solvay, the University's Comprehensive Cancer Center's marketing communications coordinator, Solvay was joined by more than 100 people in front of the Cancer Center to light candles and provide support for each other. Survivors and family members and friends of cancer patients were given a chance to light a candle and leave mementos of their loved ones. The vigil included a video with pictures of patients treat- ed at the Cancer Center and the doctors and staff who treat- ed them, songs performed by the Voices of Healing choir and soloists and testimony by people who lost loved ones to cancer. Solvay added that cancer is often a tougher challenge for the family and friends of a patient. "In many ways I think it's harder for the family to watch someone go through this and not to physically be able to Despite airport delays and flight cancellations, students leaving for study abroad programs are still ready to take off, and those already on pro- grams are remaining abroad. "We have had no students withdraw from programs, nor have we canceled any," said Carol Dickerman, director of the Office of International Pro- grams. "And for students who are about to go abroad we've gotten mes- sage from host universities saying they'll hold rooms until the students arrive and provide a special orientation for them upon their arrival." Dickerman said the University's study abroad partners have been sym- pathetic and supportive through the recent events, sending messages expressing their concern and offering support and counseling to help on-site students. She added that the OIP has been in touch with all of the program sites requesting that they keep stu- dents updated with safety informa- tion and precautions, and that University faculty from the United States who are abroad are getting students together and talking with them about safety measures students should be taking.

LSA struggles to monitor plagiarism, punish cheaters Timeout By Kara Wenzel Daily Staff Reporter Despite the risk of serious consequences such as expul- sion, dozens of University students are caught plagiarizing or cheating each year. When professors catch students cheating or plagiarizing, they have the option to bring the case to the attention of LSA Assistant Dean for Student Academic Affairs Esrold Nurse. In the previous academic year, 64 cases of academic dis- honesty were reported. During the 1999-2000 academic year, 101 cases were reported. Louis Rice, LSA deputy assistant dean for student acade- mic affairs, said he could not reveal whether any of those cases resulted in expulsion from the University. "I think the main problem in LSA is plagiarism, often linked with students downloading papers from the Internet and submitting them as their own work," said Robert Owen, LSA associate dean for undergraduate education. There is no automatic, one-term probation period before a student can be dismissed from the college, according to LSA's Code of Academic Conduct. Punishments depend not only on the severity of the offense but also the student's pre- vious academic conduct. "It is important to note that a faculty member does have the prerogative to handle the case in the classroom," Rice. said. The number of cases reported to the dean is not necessar- ily representative of the actual amount of cheating and pla- giarism discovered in the college, Rice said.
