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."
