From art and music to sports and education, every week at Temple comes with a wide range of events to partake in. Temple ' s events are a reflection of its student body - extremely diverse. Students have been educated in lectures by such notables as video director Benny Boom, politician Ralph Nader and producer director ;creenwriter John Singleton. Iso, students have engaged in panel discussions sponsored [by Student Activities on issues ranging from immigration rights to the free press. For independent music fans, the Underground - a new addition to the SAC- is the location of Saturday Night Live, a weekly showcase of local talents. If you are a lover of the performing arts. Temple has what you are looking for. Along with bi-monthly plays at the Arden Theatre, many organizations hold open-mic nights, as well as various tale nt shows. Another feature at Temple is Free Food and Fun Friday where Student Activities joins with another campus organization for a night of games and snacks as a deterrence to student alcohol use. Who knew that on a Friday night you could get college kids to play bingo?, remarks senior Jide Elimihe. It ' s actually something I make a part of my weekend plans now. - Megan Smith Temple Events

Along Liacouras Walk, near the Bell Tower, and on [ Street people enjoyed food, caught up with friends, and got rid of the pallor of a long winter. Students ate funnel cake, cotton candy, water ice, and other carnival treats. They rode the mechanical bull, did flips on the ti ' ampoline. fought like gladiators, got stuck to the Velcro wall, or just got caught up in the carnival-like atmosphere. Friends wandered around campus getting their first tan of the year - not caring about classes, grades, homework, or extracurricular commitments. They just relaxed as if summer had started early. Spring Fling offered a brief interlude of the carefree side of college life before the stress levels rose again for finals. Many of the campus organizations occupied tables to pass out informafion, answer questions, recruit new members, and raise money. There were also DJs and bands for students to isten and dance to throughout the festival. This block party proved to be the high point of Spring Fling ' s many scheduled events. In fact, some students took advantage of the fun to such an extent that they had trouble remembering everything they did, but they certainly had to admit it was a good time.
