30 students withdraw for attack-related matters

Most students returning home hail from same country

A total of 30 UA students have dropped their classes to return home as a result of after-effects of the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, university officials said.

Twenty-six of these students, from the United Arab Emirates - a Middle Eastern nation of nearly 3 million people - have withdrawn from the university to return to their home country, said university spokeswoman Sharon Kha.

UA students may be called to serve

Number of students visiting recruitment offices up

UA students in the Arizona Army National Guard and Reserves may be called out of classes to serve, recruiting officials said.

The possibility of recruitment comes in light of President Bush's announcement that the National Guard and various branches of the Reserves would be called to respond to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Should America go to war?

There is no doubt that war has been waged on America. After two planes collided with the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, and another plane crashed into the Pentagon, America has suffered irreparable damages. An estimated 5,000 people have died, and the centers of American military and economic activity have been attacked.
