      year ago.

      At 8:42 a.m. (PDT), the university’s carillon bells will ring 3 times, 
then 4 times, then 3 times in memory of the 343
      firefighters who were killed in the attacks in New York City. The

      Throughout the day nationally televised commemorative programming will 
play on the big-screen television in the
      Commons Food Court. The International Affairs Club also will be 
running a videotape that reads the names of all those
      who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks in the Idaho Commons.

      An acoustic concert will be held outside the Idaho Commons over the 
lunch hour.

      From 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. that day, the College of Law will conduct
