An account of the resource
Joseph (Joe) Librescu, the son of Liviu Librescu, the teacher who protected his students at the cost of his own life in the Virgina Tech killing spree yesterday, sent a heart-felt message to all Hotnews.ro readers.<br />
"I am professor Librescu's son and I want to thank all those who wrote such beautiful notes about him", the letter reads.
"Even though he left the country for a long time, he never forgot its beauty. We were supposed to meet in Predeal this summer, for a family reunion.
Once again I want to thank you for all the beautiful things you wrote about him".
Professor Liviu Librescu's gesture was widely commented on in the Romanian and international media.
First announced on the <a href="http://www.esm.vt.edu/">Virginia Tech official site</A>, the story soon reached the <a href="http://english.hotnews.ro/International-media-honors-Romanian-born-professor-killed-in-Virginia-massacre-articol_44738.htm"">HotNews.ro English version</A>, and was quoted by the blogs at the <a href="http://www.claremont.org/blogs/blogid.5193/blog_detail.asp">Claremont Institute for the Study of Statemanship and Political Philosphy</A>.
An <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/17/AR2007041700626.html?nav=hcmodule">Associated Press</A> article was almost instantly quoted by all international media. <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/04/17/vtech.shooting.victims/index.html">CNN</A>, <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article1665503.ece">The Times</A>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/17/us/17victims.html?_r=1&oref=slogin">The New York Times</A> and <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/849070.html">Haaretz</A> are just a few of the TV stations and newspapers that brought an hommage to the lost professor.
Romanian media ware just as present as the international ones:<br />
"Romanian hero in mourning America", <a href="http://www.evz.ro/">Evenimentul Zilei</A> reads on the first page; "The Hero", is the simple and powerful title in <a href="http://www.jurnalul.ro/articol_76983/eroul.html">Jurnalul National</A>. "Romanian hero at Virginia Tech", reads <a href="http://www.cotidianul.ro/">Cotidianul</A>. "Romania origin hero", is the headline in <a href="http://www.romanialibera.ro/a92706/un-erou-originar-din-romania.html">Romania Libera</A> and so on.

An account of the resource
By: Ben Briscoe, Contributing Writer, bbriscoe@smu.edu
Posted: 4/25/07
First-year Weston Ashley went out to benches in front of his residence hall, Mary Hay, at 2 a.m. on the night of Oct. 12, 2006 to get his last nicotine fix before heading to bed, like he had done so many times before.
But this night was different.
As he sat alone in the cold air listening to The Killers on his iPod, a man Ashley had never seen before walked up to the four empty benches and sat down right beside him.
"At first I didn't think anything of it," Ashley said. "He just asked me if he could buy a cigarette from me, and I said no and gave him one instead."
The two then chatted for about 10 minutes about the lack of diversity at SMU before Ashley caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of something alarming.
"I remember turning to him and sticking out of his big puffy jacket was a butcher knife," Ashley said. "I just pretty much froze. In my head I was like, 'Oh my God, I am gonna die.'"
But Ashley's nerves calmed, and his instincts kicked in. He quickly told the man goodnight and then walked briskly, "hell almost running," to his room and called the police.
About 20 minutes later police caught up with the man. He was holding another student by knifepoint outside of the Owen Fine Arts building.
While the man was quickly taken to the Dallas County Jail, the memory still lingers in Ashley's mind.
"Every once and a while I will think about it, and my heart will skip a couple of beats," he said. "You feel you're so safe because we live in this Highland Park bubble where everything is so nice and pretty and clean, but the truth is that we're not safer here than anywhere else. It's a hard thing to realize."
That's exactly how Virginia Tech Wildlife Science major Danielle Kulas said she felt after the shootings last Monday.
"I just remember thinking at first that April Fools Day had already gone by. I couldn't believe this was happening here," she said. "The part that really baffled me was when I found out the first shooting was in the dorm right next to mine."
The reason Kulas said she had a hard time believing that the shootings were happening was because her dorms had seemed so safe until then.
According to VT's police crime logs, fewer serious crimes (such as murder, sex offenses, robbery, assault, theft and arson) occurred in the Tech's residential facilities in 2005, the last year with data available, than SMU's residential facilities have had in the last three months. In the whole of 2005, there were seven forcible sex offenses, 11 burglaries and seven cases of arson for a total of 25 incidents at VT's dorms. Since Jan. 1, SMU's residential halls have been the site of five assaults, 20 thefts, one arson and three criminal trespasses for a total of 29.
For Jeanie Goodson, mother of incoming first-year Caroline, it's those numbers and last Monday's event at Virginia Tech that are causing her to worry about her child living by herself in the fall.
"I would not say I am petrified about sending my girl off to college, but after Virginia Tech, her safety next year has been on my mind a lot," Goodson said. "But you can't keep your child in a Zip-lock bag; the best thing I can do is to tell her to be careful and hope for the best."
That's exactly the policy that Residence Life and Student Housing Director Doug Hallenbeck likes to stress.
"It's a unique and difficult balance between safety and security and being more of a jail state," Hallenbeck said. "People don't want to live where RAs are going in daily to do room checks, so we have to balance that sense of home with a sense of security."
To do that, the university utilizes two main methods: a card-swipe access restriction to residents only and a staff of residential advisers and professionals who keep an eye out for any abnormalities.
For Ashley, these systems are good, but they aren't enough.
"I think that really helps. But no matter how much we try to prevent crime, people are people and they will find a way," he said. "Just keep an eye out for anything strange. It's the best way to stay safe. I mean it saved my life and someday it might save yours."
Since the Virginia Tech shooting, the university has taken new measures to improve the safety of the campus. On Friday, a campus-wide e-mail asked students to update their Emergency Contact information and add their cell phone numbers. In the event of an emergency, a voicemail will be left on cell phones, in addition to a bulk e-mail and Web site updates.
General information about SMUs emergency procedures is available at http://www.smu.edu/newsinfo/preparedness/.

An account of the resource
The shootings at Virginia Tech on Monday hit too close to home for some students and faculty at both Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools high schools.
Many said they worried that several recent graduates of East Chapel Hill and Chapel Hill high schools who now attend Virginia Tech could have been victims, but no alumni are among those reported dead.
"There's great sympathy among our students and concern for graduates from our schools who may have been attending Virginia Tech and to get in contact with the person and make sure they're safe," said Stephanie Knott, assistant to the superintendent for community relations for the district.
Linda Klemmer, counseling department chairwoman at Chapel Hill High, said students and faculty expressed anxiety about alumni.
"There was some concern for students that had siblings and friends at Virginia Tech," she said.
"I got a sense of sadness and shock," she added, as she described the students' moods in wake of the incident.
Her department is open to students who want to talk to someone about the shootings, she said.
Owen McDonnell, a freshman at Virginia Tech and graduate of Chapel Hill High, was one of the people those at home worried about.
"A lot of people were saying they tried to call me and couldn't," he said. McDonnell traveled back to Chapel Hill late Tuesday to be with family after Monday's tragedy struck his campus, but he said he's eager to get back to the daily grind of classes.
"I think it's important to get back to normal after having a week to grieve," he said.
But students at one of the district's high schools already have experienced gun violence on campus.
Last April, William Barrett Foster, then a student at East Chapel Hill High, took social studies teacher Lisa Kukla and student Chelsea Slegal hostage after school.
Kukla and Slegal eventually were able to talk to Foster, and they convinced him to shoot out a window instead of killing them.
Knott said last year's incident helped calm students' and faculty's fears about the possibility that something such as the Virginia Tech incident could happen locally.
The hostage incident forced district officials to prepare campuses for anything.
"For the most part we made some revisions to security following the hostage situation at East Chapel Hill High School last year," Knott said. "You'll find in the superintendent's recommended budget about a $206 ,000 request to fund some new safety projects."
Knott said she plans to ask principals to encourage students to wear maroon and orange - Virginia Tech colors - Friday for Orange & Maroon Effect Day to commemorate victims of the tragedy.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of our lost Hokies. This has been a very difficult time for all of us. The memorial issue of Virginia Tech magazine was done very nicely and inspired me to share our support. I am a 1992 graduate of Virginia Tech. I work as a Training Manager at GEICO in Fredericksburg, VA. There are several GEICO offices across the country and the entire company participated in Hokie Hope day. I was proud that my school and my work came together during this most difficult time. I wanted to share a picture of my team.

<b>Hokie Spirit defines Virginia Tech a year later...</b>
Last April, the world's attention focused on a campus community ripped to its very core with the grief and pain of a tragedy unparalleled in the history of American higher education. And what they observed was more powerful than they ever expected... they saw a campus filled with energetic students and talented faculty that displayed grace, poise and fortitude beyond all imagination -- a community fueled by something we know as Hokie spirit. That spirit reaches deep and spreads beyond the campus throughout our 200,000 alumni, and indeed across the entire globe.
Yes, Hokie spirit emerged from tragedy and impressed a world that was brought closer by the media to witness the strength and resilience of the entire Hokie Nation. On this anniversary our attention turns respectfully to the families who lost their loved ones last April 16th and to the students injured that day who are successfully putting their lives back together. It is a day of remembrance. The victims will be honored at a ceremony that will take place Wednesday on the Drillfield at 10:30 A.M. EDT. It will be televised by various media and streamed through the university's website <a href="http://www.vt.edu/">www.vt.edu</a>. President Steger and Virginia's Governor Kaine will make remarks. Other participatory events are being held throughout the day, and a candlelight vigil at dusk will signal the end of the day's observances.
The university is grateful for the expressions of support that have flowed from loyal alumni and friends around the world since last April. These expressions have come in the form of almost every artifact imaginable. To date, 87,000 different items (some displayed in our Alumni Center Museum on April 16th only). In excess of $9.5 million in memorial gifts. Special appearances by the Dave Matthews Band and the NY Yankees. Plus thousands upon thousands of well-wishing letters, e-mails and phone calls. And perhaps the most recent signal of prevailing Hokie spirit is the acceptance rate by students who have been offered admission to the university this coming fall - already hundreds ahead of last fall, which was itself a record-breaking year.
We see such optimism and spirit in the faces of our students, often represented by the countless hours they have poured into VT-ENGAGE service activities. Similarly, our alumni are honoring the university's year of renewal with a range of service activities, including participation in our <b>"VirginiaTech<i>forlife</i>"</b> blood drives staged by alumni chapters.
At the dedication of our permanent April 16th Memorial last August, SGA President Adeel Khan summed it up exceptionally well...
<i>Take time to remember the legacies, remember the dreams and remember the talent that our community has lost. I hope you are inspired to work harder to honor the 32. Share you talents with the world for the 32. Achieve your dreams for the 32. Be more compassionate, friendly and thoughtful for the 32. Be better, for the 32.</i>
In 2008, we remember the 32; we are thankful for the survivors; and we are proud we share together that incredible Hokie spirit.

Vice President for Alumni Relations
