Celebrate good times! One can remember many important events within the past year. For instance, the first day of school is well remembered because the temperatures were in the high 90 ' s. Many classes were shortened due to the excessive heat. Sept. 24, Homecoming Day, was an ex- citing day for everyone. Although Temple lost the football game to Penn State, every- one was there to cheer for the Owls. When TSG elections were held Oct. 27, Gary Bumpus, Jill Bradway and Shanda Wilson became the new student government leaders. By the end of October, everyone wanted to forget about midterms and start partying. Halloween was the perfect occasion to do just that. Many students attended the party at SAC decked out in their favorite costumes. The Bell Tower was the setting for the Wil- son Goode rally on Nov. 2. On Nov. 9, Dick Gregory delighted his audience with his radi- cal overtones. A variety of students went to see the B-52 ' s at McGonigle Hall Saturday, Nov. 19. By the end of November, Thanks- giving recess was greatly appreciated. The four-day rest was just what many students needed to ready themselves for finals. The first two weeks of December were hectic for everyone. Most students spent their time shopping for the holidays and studying. After finals it was time to head home for the holidays. The first day of the spring semester was very cold. Temperatures hovered around the 5- degree mark. On Jan. 22, Superbowl Sunday, students all around the city were cheering for either the Washington Redskins or the Los Angeles Raiders. Valentine ' s Day brought many lovers togeth- er once again. Flowers and cards were abun- dant on campus that day. Some students at- tended parties while others spent some quiet time with a special someone. On St. Patrick ' s Day students adopted the Irish spirit by sporting green and drinking green beer. By April, most students were ready to call it a year. Cherry and White Day was as festive as always. This is the day everyone is proud to be an Owl. The first week of May students had to study for finals, but the thought of summer was on everyone ' s mind. Bob Sussen is the Program Board ' s very own Santa Claus.

B-52 ' s rock McGonigle The crowd screamed a frenzied reply when the lead singer of Translator said, I understand they haven ' t had any concerts in this place for a while. Translator, the opening act, warmed up the crowd for the B-52 ' s. The con- cert, held in McGonigle Hall on Nov. 19, attracted a variety of music lovers. Every color in the spectrum was reflected in leather, glasses, gloves, mini-skirts and hair. At 10 p.m., Don Vetick, chairman of the program board ' s concert commit- tee, introduced the main attraction. The fans screamed as the B-52 ' s made their way on stage. The B-52 ' s, Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, Ricky Wilson, and Keith Strickland, were dressed in the same styles as the crowd that gathered to see them. As the band performed, fans danced beneath the strobe lights. It was not until the band played their 11th song, Private Idaho, that the dancing became frenzied. The B-52 ' s kept the rocking pace by singing about their favorite crustae- cean, Rock Lobster. Everyone be- gan singing and crouching down to the floor when the commands Down, Down rang from Fred Schneider ' s voice. The B-52 ' s concert was surely the high point of Temple ' s 1983 fall se- mester. The crowd awaits . . . The band swings into action. 22 B-52 ' s Ci»i
