 Subject: MASSMAIL - Message from Chancellor Nancy Cantor

A Message to Students, Staff, and Faculty at the Urbana Campus:

This morning's acts of terrorism have touched all of us.  I know the
thoughts of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign community are
with the families affected by this tragedy.

We have no reason to believe that the University of Illinois is a
target.  We encourage members of the university community to go about their
normal activities.  Classes remain in session.  As the day goes on we will
update the campus on developments.

Because of concerns nationwide, we of course ask you to be aware of your
surroundings and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the
police.  In addition phone circuits can become clogged in an emergency.  We
ask that you refrain from using cell phones except for emergency 
situations.

Air traffic has been halted and Willard Airport is therefore closed.  We
understand that rail and bus traffic has also been affected.  MTD is
operating normally.

As the day progresses, updates will be provided through local media, the
campus webpage www.uiuc.edu and the campus emergency phone line that can be
reached by dialing 265-8473.

Students with concerns may call the Dean of Students at 333-0050 or contact
helpdean@uiuc.edu.  The Counseling Center will be open until 8:00pm;
students may call 333-3701.

In closing, I ask faculty, students, and staff to remember that we are one
community and to support each other during this difficult time.

Nancy Cantor
