Colorado students honor victims
■Students, families and
strangers gathered
Thursday to remember the
Columbine school shootings
By Robert Weller
The Associated Press
LITTLETON, Colo. — A father
fell to his knees and kissed the
grass on his son’s grave. A mother
watched 13 white balloons soar
into a brilliant blue sky over the
cemetery where her son now rests.
And at 11:21 a.m.—the precise
moment two teenagers opened fire
inside their high school on April
20,1999 — Coloradans fell silent
as a church bell tolled 13 times in
memory of the victims of the
Columbine High massacre.
At private ceremonies and pub
lic remembrances all day and into
the night Thursday, students, staff,
survivors and strangers came to
gether to mark the first anniver
sary of the nation’s deadliest
school shooting.
“Today is about the angels who
are watching over us—helping us
to heal and helping us to remem
ber,” Gov. Bill Owens told a crowd
at the state Capitol in Denver.
Owens presided over the mo
ment of silence that marked the
moment Dylan Klebold and Eric
Harris began the bloodbath, killing
12 students and a teacher and
wounding 26 before taking their
own lives.
There was little mention of the
gunmen Thursday, and the acts of
remembrance — the 13 balloons,
the bell tolling 13 times, 13 crosses
erected—were meant to recall the
victims and not the killers. The
victims’ families had even asked
the news media to avoid any ref
erences to Klebold and Harris.
The killers’ parents apologized
again last week for their sons’ ac
tions. Their whereabouts Thurs
day were not clear.
As a lone bagpiper played
“Amazing Grace,” the governor
and his wife planted columbines,
the state flower that gave the
school its name, beneath a flag
pole.
In Littleton, families and
friends of slain students Rachel
Scott, Corey DePooter and teacher
Dave Sanders embraced and wept
during a memorial at the ceme
tery where all three are buried.
“Today can be a new beginning,
not just for our community but for
our nation,” pastor Billy Epper
hart said.

Men’s group

productive to have a group that
looks at sexism to really debunk
all that.”
The group also provides an op
portunity for men to get involved
in the annual Take Back the Night
event, which raises awareness to
create a sexual assault-free cam
pus and is sponsored by the
Women’s Center. Gutstadt said
men previously lacked an outlet
to get involved, but now the Men
Against Sexism group provides
just such an outlet.
Jonathan Davies, a senior staff
psychologist at the University
Counseling Center, has worked
with group members as a facilita
tor for their support group meet
ings. He said a group such as Men
Against Sexism was highly need
ed on campus to educate men
about dangerous behaviors.
Davies also agreed with Gut
stadt that the group’s efforts are
important in providing a vehicle
for men to get involved in Take
Back the Night and women’s is
sues overall.
“More and more men are com
ing out for that evening and want
to support and express their con
cern for women,” he said.
Investors
continued from page 1A
and downs.
The Investment Group of about
20 students invests in the stock
market after analyzing different
industries and companies using
money provided by Portland bro
kerage firm DA Davidson. Stu
dents started out with $50,000 and
had earned a profit of almost 25
percent before last week’s turmoil
in the market.
The group has to return the first
5 percent of any earnings to DA
Davidson, and then the two par
ties split the remaining 95 percent.
Now the group is down by 5
percent from its initial $50,000 in
vestment, but members are confi
dent that stocks will recover soon.
And some already have.
Kosovich said InFocus System
stock went down dramatically last
week, but is on its way to recovery
now. Although -students met
briefly on Friday to discuss the
stock market plunge, senior fi
nance business major Steve Zogas,
the group’s director of operations,
said there was no panic and no
stocks were sold in the heat of the
moment.
“We like what we hold a lot,”
Zogas said. “There was no reason
for us to sell anything. ”
Phil Richman, a first-year mas
ters of business administration
student, is the president of the
Canvasback Investment Club,
which differs from the University
Investment Group because stu
dents invest their own money.
Richman said that his clul? took
a hit as well, but students re
mained calm and many consid
ered the drop in stock prices a
good buying opportunity rather
than a crisis.
John Chalmers, assistant profes
sor of finance, who works closely
with Zogas and Kosovich as the
Investment Group’s advisor, said
members in that group reacted ex
actly how he had expected them
to react.
“Basically we didn’t do any
thing — we didn’t panic,” he said.
“I think they did an excellent job. ”
And the group’s calmness
seems to have paid off.
“We’re back up now within two
days,” Zogas said.
Kosovich said a common per
ception about student investors is
that they are- playing the stock
market game only with short-term
goals in mind. However, he said
that is not true for the group.
“I don’t think that’s the reality
for student investors,” he said.
“We’re in it for the long run.”
Zogas and Kosovicfi said that
pursuing long-term goals helps
overcome short-term crisis and
that investors always know they
are taking a risk.
“With that upside risk, there’s
always a downside risk,” Koso
vich said.
To avoid too much risk, and to
help students keep a well-round
ed portfolio of stocks, the invest
ment group cannot invest more
than 20 percent of its money into
one stock.
Kosovich said that just a couple
weeks ago student investors joint
ly decided it was time to sell some
Webtrends stock they owned
since it represented more than 20
percent of their money.
“We don’t want to hold too
much of our portfolio in one stock,
so we rebalanced our portfolio,”
Kosovich said.
Zogas said that the decision to
sell the stock was not out of fore
sight, but simply an effort to retain
a well-diversified stock portfolio.
The move turned out to be a sensi
ble one when Webtrends took a big
hit last week.
Just like the other events upset
ting the stock market last week,
that drop did not take the group by
surprise.
“We realize that things can’t go
up forever,” Zogas said.
Chalmers said the market chaos
last week provided an educational
experience for the investment
group.
“I guess it was a good lesson for
all of us,” he said.
