Athletic Events Cancelled
The
University of Pennsylvania Athletic Department announced that it has
cancelled competition of its intercollegiate athletic programs through
the weekend. "We gave much thought to the issue and continued to
discuss it with our faculty and students throughout the course of the
day as we all sought to restore some sense of normalcy while continuing
to grieve through this national tragedy," Penn Athletic Director
Steve Bilsky said. "The continued intensity of discussion and emotions
within our community, coupled with President Bush proclaiming Friday
a "National Day of Prayer and Remembrance," led us to conclude
that it would be more appropriate to cancel our contests."
