Remembrances for the victims of Sept. 11 will be held across campus Wednesday, from a chorale performance of Mozart's Requiem in Centennial Hall at 8:46 a.m. to a moonlight mass at 9:00 p.m. in front of Old Main.

President Peter Likins will address the UA community at noon in front of Old Main and ROTC will make a presentation.

Winners of a poetry contest sharing reflections on Sept. 11 will also read their entries during the address and the bell recovered from the sunken USS Arizona will ring for the first time in the new Student Union Memorial Center.

While some of the major events are time specific, other commemorations will take place all day.

The Wall of Remembrance and Pillars of Light exhibits at the Flandrau Science Center will open at 9:00 a.m. and will run for three weeks. Admission to the exhibits is free only on Sept. 11. The exhibit features a wall on which the public can write reflections about the tragedy and a sculpture displaying the World Trade Center and the Pentagon before the attacks.

Other events for the day include several spiritual ceremonies on the UA Mall in front of Old Main, a video of Tucson's reactions to last year's attacks at 4:00 p.m. in the Anthropology building and a photographic exhibit of images of New York and Washington before and after

Sept. 11 from 1:30 to 3:30 in the Center for Creative Photography.

To begin the day, the Tucson Masterworks Chorale, other local choirs and a 35-piece orchestra will perform Mozart's Requiem. Choirs on the UA campus will join choirs around the world performing the same piece at 8:46 a.m., in their respective time zones.

Thus far, there are 19 time zones participating and there is a good possibility the last five will join, said to Nancy Jenrow, who is in charge of information on the event.

Jenrow hopes to pack Centennial Hall because she feels this "rolling requiem" is significant and will serve well as a remembrance of Sept. 11.

"Music is a very special way to give voice to help and healing. It's a special way of expressing the grief that everyone felt and has been feeling this year," Jenrow said.

Later in the day, the College of Medicine will hold "Bio-Terrorism 2002, a forum discussing threats and responses regarding bio-terrorism. The event, held from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Du Val Auditorium at the UA Medical Center, will include several speakers and a question and answer session.

"We did two bioterrorism conferences last year because of Sept. 11. We felt it was appropriate to give positions and the general public any knowledge that we can and to update them any way we could," said Jane Barth, administrative associate and coordinator for the event.

During the day, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Peter Treistman Fine Arts Center for New Media will host a live web event showing streamed performances from several universities across the country. Performance pieces by artists from Arizona State University and an interactive video chat will highlight the web event.

Students of various religious faiths will have several chances to worship on Sept. 11.

An interfaith service at 5:00 p.m. in front of Old Main and a Native American blessing ceremony for the opening of an audio exhibit called "Looking Back: 9/11 Across America" will be held. The blessing ceremony will start at 12:45 p.m. at Arizona State Museum, and the exhibit will run at the meuseum through Sept. 18.

The Catholic Newman Center has three catholic masses scheduled for 12:05, 5:15 and 9:00 p.m. on the Mall directly east of Old Main.

"I think people want to remember. It's part of our feelings for what happened in the year. It's important to continue to pray and give hope to the people," said Father Albert Felice-Pace, who will lead the masses.

One student feels that remembering Sept. 11 is the reason for the events planned on campus.

"Americans have a tendency to forget about important events and anything that will help us to remember the significance of Sept. 11th is crucial," finance freshman Adam Wissing said.

The final event of the day will be a presentation by a UA psychology instructor Patti Harada about the emotional effects of Sept. 11. This also takes place in the Du Val Auditorium from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and admission is $5 for students, faculty and staff.
