We're approaching the third month anniversary of the horrible events that took place at my alma mater, Northern Illinois University in Dekalb on February 14th.
April 29th will be the cut-off date for sending the NIU Memorial Committee your ideas for a fitting memorial to the slain and wounded. So far, they have received over 100 ideas ranging from fountains, landscaped gardens to statues. Many have the slogan "Forward, Together Forward" which is taken from the school fight song.
The committee consistes of about 30 students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The memorial, whatever shape it will take, does not have to be very expensive. Virginia Tech only spent $30,000 on theirs.
It is hoped to have it completed by Feb. 14, 2009.
You can give your idea at memorial@niu.edu.

I am suggesting that permanent crosses be erected on the berm by the student center where the temporary ones were placed after the event.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
