Fitness You worked out in the IBC: MOVE AHEAD 2 SPACES he diversity found at Temple Uni- versity is not just that of its stu- dent body, but also that of its offerings of recreational activities avail- able on campus. Of the various fitness options available, the nexus is the Inde- pendence Blue Cross Center. The indoor track, plenty of free weights, weight lift- ing machines and other options like elip- ticals and treadmills are open for student use. Temple also has plenty of intramural teams and facilities for countless sports that can be utilized by students. There are multiple swimming pools, and there is even space for a driving range on campus. Some of the most popular choices are the Group Fitness classes available frequently at the IBC throughout the week. Senior Mary Vertucci pointed out, It ' s difficult to find time to work out, but the [Group Fit- ness] classes provide you with [a set time and] group motivation. There are classes in everything from Yoga in the early hours of the morning, to an abdominal workout in the afternoon, to Hip Hop Funk at night. No matter what exercise goals stu- dents set, they can reach them at Temple. Bv: Niclmlas Adcli zi Recreation 10 Fitness and Recreation

Ethan Haymes gazes at the audience in Randall Theater during In Conflict, a play based on the war in Iraq. Ihere are many peifoimanceoptionsavailable to students at Temple University, and they don ' t need to be theater, music or dance majors to take advantage of them. As senior Becky Bordo pointed out, there are different paths available through the school. Students can be a part of the main stage productions or various student-run productions throughout the year. The ability to choose is not the only advantage offered in the School of Communications and Theater. The amazing faculty provides each student with training and mentorship, Bordo said. Temple ' s music department features an orchestra and four different choirs, which are also open for participation from students in all majors. Every year in March, all four choirs and the orchestra combine for a massive concert at the Kimmel Center in Center City. The 2008 performance featured classic pieces by Mozart and Mussorgsky. The music school is also home to a National Opera Association award-winning opera program. Graduate student Christian Bowers said, The things I like about the opera program are my voice teacher Dr. William Stone and the stage director Laura Johnson. I like the teachers and the classes that they offer. The dance program at the Ester Boyer College of Music and Dance also features performances throughout the year and is consistently ranked among the top programs in the country. The program offers a bachelor of fine arts, a master of education or fine arts and a doctor of philosophy all in dance. Temple ' s stellar fine arts programs are certainly a place where all students can participate and enjoy expressing themselves.
