When the time came, we struggled to make the big decision of what college to go to, but we all had one thing in common: we chose Temple University. As an incoming freshman, questions like, where will I study? how will I meet people? and will I have a social life? constantly raced through our brains. Freshman year seems like just yesterday, but somehow the time has come for the class of 2016 to graduate. Some graduating seniors are looking back at their best memories at Temple. Besides her degree, the best thing senior Sarah Berg gained at Temple over the past four years is her friends. I made lifelong friends in my dorm my freshman year, said Berg, who lived in Peabody Hall. I'm adamant about being at their weddings someday. Meeting new people did not stop after freshman year for Berg. As a theater major, she was required to complete a contract, where she built even more lasting relationships. While social events and mingling with friends are some of his best memories, academics also had a great impact on Dodson. Some may hear the term Club Tech and expect it to be a venue filled with loud music and dancing, but Dodson and other Owls know better. 'It's not that kind of party, Dodson said. Club Tech is where students go for studying and late night cram sessions. These cram sessions sometimes turn into memorable nights with friends. In addition to the lifelong friends she has made, Berg is extremely grateful for taking a course called Gay and Lesbian Lives with Professor Aishah Simmons. Taking this course made me a more thoughtful human being and taught me how to interpret the world differently, Berg said. I now consider myself a revolutionary towards personal identity as a trans-inclusionary antiracist, radically intersectional feminist. Dodson has also enjoyed the freedom that Temple offers. Taking classes outside of his major helped broaden his horizons, but if he had to pinpoint one memory as his best, he said it would be applying for graduation. I hope the degree is worth it, he said. WRITTEN BY JACYNDA PURNELL ILLUSTRATED BY AMANDA HOLL Senior Benjamin Dodson also values the friends he made at Temple. Before coming to Temple, Dodson was worried about not having time for a social life, but that proved not to be a problem. Getting involved in clubs was a great way to meet interesting people and make friends, Dodson said. Joining the Powerlifting club allowed me to get to know a lot of cool people that I wouldn't have met otherwise. With a campus as diverse as Temple's, you are bound to come across some interesting places to eat. Temple boasts almost every cuisine imaginable, from the halal food carts and Chinese food trucks, to the late night hotspot known as U Got Munchies. But for the seasoned Temple foodie, what are some new spots to try? One of this year's most buzzed about places is Ray's Lunch Box, located at 1536 Carlisle Street. It is a deli style shop complete with free Wi-Fi and a coffee bar that caters toward busy students. Known mostly for its sandwiches and barbeque, Ray's also offers pasta salads, soups, homemade chili and even truffle fries — you name it and they probably have it. Lucky for us, they accept Diamond Dollars and online orders too. Temple is a growing community, owner Ray Wilson said. I wanted to give kids a better choice of homemade food as opposed to the bigger chains. If you're going to Ray's for the first time, Wilson suggests trying a chicken cutlet sandwich or panini, two of its most popular items. hummus, and buffalo tahini sauce. It was a weird combo, but definitely super tasty. Burger King, an old favorite, has also made an appearance on campus right next to Pita Chip, across from Morgan Hall. It'll definitely be convenient for students looking to switch up their typical Wendy's or McDonald's meal. If you haven't already, try their unique fan favorite: chicken fries. A great option for commuters is Saige Cafe, which opened spring 2015. Located near Temple's train station behind Anderson and Gladfelter Hall, the cafe's relaxing atmosphere is a great space to get some work done or grab a coffee and pastry after your daily commute. A personal favorite is the newly relocated Bagel Hut that used to be next to Barton Hall, which is now demolished. Now housed in the parking lot between the Student Center and the tech center. Bagel Hut ditched its red and white exterior for bright blue and is back open for business. Bagel Hut offers a variety of snacks, but its warm, toasted poppy seed bagels with cream cheese are the best pick-me-up on the block, trust me. Pita Chip, located at 1600 Broad Street, is another up-and-coming food joint with outstanding reviews. It offers an affordable menu of classic Mediterranean and vegetarian options like falafel, hummus, baklava, and of course, seasoned pita chips. It's also a healthier alternative for those looking to stay away from 7-Eleven taquitos or Maple Star eggrolls. I wasn't sure if I would like Pita Chip or not, but it was such a pleasant surprise, said Erin Moore, a junior at Temple. I got one of their rice bowls with falafel, vegetables. Temple is always adding new places for students to dine. Next time you're looking to change up your typical Tropical Smoothie or Cosi order, give one of the newest eateries a try. WRITTEN 8Y BRIGID MAGDAMO PHOTOGRAPHE0 BY JADEMAN BAKER FREEFOOD FUNFRIDAYS IN THE STUDENT CENTER Temple kicks off every weekend with four Fs Owls love to hear: Free Food and Fun Friday. In addition to being a great example of alliteration. Free Food and Fun Friday is an event held in the Howard Gittis Student Center at 10:00 p.m. every — you guessed it — Friday. FFFF gives Temple students the opportunity to start their weekend with a bang by partaking in hilarious and crazy activities and enjoying delicious, free cuisine. Main Campus Program Board, the Student Activities office and other student organizations bring FFFF to life each week. Although its delicious food and zany fun is consistent, the theme every week is different, resulting in various combinations of dishes and activities. Students come back each week because they never know what to expect — other than a memorable night, of course. Each student who attends FFFF is able to get involved, and even has a chance to bring home cash prizes. This year was kicked off with a guess the lyrics game show that sent dozens of students home with cash prizes ranging from $5 to $50. Students have also enjoyed participating in games modeled after hit TV shows such as Family Feud and Minute to Win It. Freshman Ben Lowenthal started his Temple career on the right foot by winning $200 in a game of ThinkFast trivia at this year's first FFFF. I go to Free Food and Fun Friday because it's a place where I can hang out with a bunch of my friends and have a good time, Lowenthal said. Winning $200 was such a cool experience and it definitely made me want to keep going back. Although it's definitely a plus, the event is not just about winning cool prizes. Freshman Maura Razanauskas and her friends are die-hard FFFF-goers and attend the event every week. It is great because my friends and I can hang out, socialize and meet new people, Razanauskas said. The free food is an enticing bonus. Each Friday offers a new host to keep the party going all The food is always delicious and there are plenty of night long. Other honored guests include the hottest disc options ' Razanauskas said. And the staff is always very jockeys from WHIP, Temple's student radio station, who friendly and generous. pump the jams monthly at FFFF. As if the music, activities and games were not enough, there is always tons and tons of free food. Put broke college kids in a room of free food and it is bound to be a good time. Each FFFF emphasizes variety in its food selection. The dishes are served in a buffet style setting and usually fit a certain theme, such as barbecue favorites, Italian cuisine or Whether you come for the food, the fun or the prizes, FFFF offers something enjoyable for everyone. Join the excitement every Friday at the Student Center to experience the good food, great people and memorable nights. WRITTEN BY GREGORY VAN BUSKIRK PHOTOGRAPHED BY JADEMAN BAKER Student Life HootaThon is a student organization at Temple that raises funds for CHOP, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Each year, hundreds of Temple students, faculty, alumni and CHOP patients come together for multiple fundraising events, ending with an incredible 12-hour dance marathon. Members of HootaThon anxiously awaited this year's dance marathon, which took place on November 7, 2015. HootaThon 2015 We hope to surpass our total from 2014 this coming November for HootaThon 2015, where we have declared an ambitious fundraising goal of $215,000, the HootaThon website announced. However, reaching such an enormous goal is not a simple task. Tons of behind-the-scenes work takes place all year leading up to the main event, including volunteer and dancer recruitment, can-shake fundraisers, bake sales, event planning and much more. In order to help the kids, it is important for us to get as many people involved and aware of our cause as possible so we can continue to make miracles happen, said Alyssa Laufer, a sophomore at Temple and head of the Campus Engagement Committee for HootaThon. One of the main ways students can get involved with HootaThon is by partaking in the dance marathon. After a simple sign-up process, dancers work to raise $100 prior to the night of the dance marathon. Although this is a challenge, many students discover that fundraising is not only extremely gratifying, but also a ton of fun. Sophomore Rachael Walker has taken part in multiple can shakes around Center City with her fellow dancers. She hopes to get as many people as possible to sign up next year. I decided to get involved because my sorority made a team, Walker said. I heard that it was a lot of fun and fulfilling last year. Dancers are encouraged to create teams that can hold their own fundraising events, help each other to reach their goals and get other student organizations to advertise the event. Junior Shannon McCabe is the captain for her sorority, Phi Sigma Sigma's, team. 'I have always had a love for community service, so I try to do whatever I can to volunteer and give back to the community, McCabe said. Being a team captain entails planning fundraisers, getting girls in my sorority to sign up, going to HootaThon meetings once a month and helping people reach their $100 goal. If dancing for 12 hours straight doesn't sound appealing, there are other ways to get involved. An individual can join a committee within the organization, help plan fundraising events, or advertise the main event. The money raised through HootaThon goes directly towards operations within CHOP that fund programs and activities for the patients, buy toys and materials for crafts and more. Despite the lofty goal, Hootathon managed to raise S280,620.76. WRITTEN BY LAUREN GRIFFIN PHOTOGRAPHED BY LIDA LECH Student Life Yakkity Yak, Go Ahead, Talk Back In 2013, Brooks Buffington and Tyler Droll, two recent Furman University graduates, had the idea to create an anonymous Twitter-style app — a place where college students could go wild and post their strangest thoughts anonymously. Today, this app is known as Yik Yak. It's safe to say Yik Yak is extremely popular amongst college students. Its layout is similar to a Twitter newsfeed and allows users to post anything (yes, anything) that comes to mind. From questions, comments and jokes, to cries for help and campus advice — you can find it all on Yik Yak. It's proven to be a good outlet for students to post their deepest thoughts without personal backlash or attacks from the community. Yik Yak builds community. I can’t imagine college life without it. It's the best source of news for students, an anonymous Temple yakker yakked. Yakkers (the self-served name for users of the app) ask for life and dating advice on the app. Other times, the app is used to discuss more serious issues or to warn others about construction on campus. Yik Yak's almost immediate response rate is definitely its most beneficial feature. No Temple student is a stranger to TUAIerts, and many yakkers are passionate about making sure everyone knows that something bad has happened. Early in September 2015, a TUAIert was sent out that just said TUAIert with no other details. It came as no surprise that almost every yak after that said TUAIert. Turns out it was only a power outage. Students also like to tell jokes or funny stories in the hopes of receiving upvotes, similar to a like on Facebook or Instagram. In anticipation for the Papal visit, this year, a student posted a Pope joke on Yik Yak. What if the Pope reveals this weekend that he is wearing a Pope suit and is actually Tupac and he faked his death to become the Pope. Students also use Yik Yak as an outlet for venting. Most of the complaints are about homework or not being able to fall asleep. There are a bunch of students awake posting on Yik Yak at 3 a.m. Many students try to comfort each other at this time and give others advice on how to get into better sleeping habits. Another anonymous student feels at home on Yik Yak. (The best part of Yik Yak is] the connectedness we have anonymously. It's almost as if we have an instant friend at all hours of the day or night.” Students may have mixed feelings about the app in general, but one thing is clear: it makes Temple more connected as a community.

If your route to class involves walking on Broad Street, don't bother wasting time doing your hair because the wind will probably ruin it. Whether you are trying to avoid getting completely blown over on the terrace and walkways near Morgan Hall, or shielding your face while crossing the ramp between residence halls Johnson Hardwick and Peabody, one thing is painfully clear: Temple's wind is a force to be reckoned with. Literally, just avoid them, especially in the winter, student Jen Kane said. Student Amanda Drop said the worst spot for her is a tie between Morgan Hall and the ramp between J H and Peabody. Freshman year was horrible walking through the wind tunnel of J H. It got to the point of being pushed back and broken umbrellas, she said. Morgan is bad too because when it's icy, that ramp gets really slick. I've fallen quite a few times. Since we are only humans, trying to change the weather is pretty much out of the question. But as students, we can at least try to avoid it — or better yet, battle it. Drop shared how she effectively combats Temple's wind tunnels. I wear ponytails and hoodies or hats. Invest in gloves too because the wind against fingers and hands makes for severe wind burn, she said. Many students agree that the worst season to face these brutal wind tunnels is the winter. Cold weather, frozen mgers, frozen toes and a fierce wind attacking your face’ No, thank you. Mother Nature. tTh?w°ncn,mnlSi j maki 9 S,rides t0 its campus, tne wind tunnels are a necessary evil. WRITTEN BY JENNA FACCENOA Temple Students Represent Countries All Around the Globe Temple's diverse student body is just one of many things that make us proud to call ourselves Temple Owls. From the northern coast of California to the southern tip of Italy, Temple is home to students from all across the world. France, China, Korea, Nigeria and Turkey are just a few of the more than TOO countries represented in Temple's student body. Our thriving international population, consisting of nearly A,500 international students, often makes students wonder two things , how did these students from other countries hear about Temple, and why did they choose to come here? Students from outside the U.S. choose to come here for a wide variety of reasons, such as our strong academic programs, city environment and affordable prices. Senior WlanuelaTchamou is from Cameroon in Central Africa and grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana. I heard about Temple through two good friends from my high school that ended up going here, Tchamou said. Temple was among the cheapest schools I applied to. It was also the largest, which made me happy because I graduated from a very tiny high school. It was about time for a change of scenery. Mariana _ucia Bedon, a sophomore from Trujillo, Peru, attends Temple on a full tennis scholarship. She discovered Temple through a company that matched her with schools that were actively recruiting tennis players. I wanted to come here to study because back in Peru, the education system is not as developed, Bedon said. In the U.S., I get access to a lot more educational sources. Bedon said she was attracted to Temple because of its urban environment. Easy access to the city was also important to her so she didn't feel trapped in school all the time. Shagun Gupta, a sophomore from Mumbai, India, offers another perspective. The Fox School of Business was the perfect match for me because their ratings were going up Gupta said. Temple is proud of its diversity on campus, and continues to attract students from all across the globe. WRITTEN BY MARY SALISBURY PHOTOGRAPHED BY JADEMAN BAKER MOVINGS IN THE WORLD Philadelphia is an ever-changing city. From the recent introductions of countless outdoor beer gardens, the Indego bike share program, Dilworth Park, Spruce Street Harbor Park and the Schuylkill River Trail and Banks Boardwalk, it turns out that Temple wasn't the only part of Philly to undergo some major improvements this year. Each year, The New York Times releases a list of the top 52 places to visit in the world. In 2015, they named Philadelphia, the place Temple owls like to call home, number three on the list, following Milan, Italy and Cuba. You always hear about big northeast cities like New York, Boston and Washington D.C., but I think Philly always gets kind of overlooked said Kyle Hostetler, a junior biology my favorite spots to go in the city, said Elaina major. To be named the number three spot definitely gives Philly some long overdue appreciation. a junior pre-med student at Penn. It's awesome to have easy access to all of the different restaurants and activities this city has to offer. According to The New York Times’ article, Philly is in the making of an outdoor urban oasis. A series of projects has transformed Philadelphia into a hive of outdoor urban activity. The article went on to mention several Philly favorites like Dilworth Park, a public space next to City Hall complete with an outdoor ice rink in the winter as well as fountains, farmers' markets and cafes in the summer. It also mentioned Spruce Street Harbor Park, a summer hotspot decked out with multi-colored lights, lanterns, hammocks, food vendors and booze, located on the Delaware River waterfront. 'Spruce Street Harbor Park definitely is one of Prudente, a junior international business major. “It's inexpensive and fun to go to when the weather is nice just to relax with friends, eat good food and take some cool pictures of all the lights that hang down above the park.” The Huffington Post also showed Philly some love this year when they named it the “Coolest City in Whether old or new, every Philadelphian holds a America, mentioning sites like different piece of Philly close to their heart. the Eastern State Penitentiary, the Liberty Bell, the Art Museum steps and noteworthy events like the annual Made in America music festival and 2015's visit from the Pope, which was deemed Popeadelphia. I know it's cheesy but I go to the Blue Cross River Rink every winter; there's something about it that's pretty magical, Kimmel said. I love taking the subway down to Old City and walking past all of the classics like Franklin Fountain and then arriving at the rink when it's all lit up. The whole thing is just so cozy and having the Ben Franklin Bridge in the background makes it really Temple students weren't unique. It's all very Philly. the only ones excited by this news. Long-time Philadelphia residents as well as students from other Philadelphia colleges shared this overwhelming sense of Philly pride. It’s safe to say Philadelphia has been seriously improving its game in recent years. And after 2015, our city (and our school) won't go unnoticed anymore.

Over the years. Temple has slowly shed this reputation. Currently, there are seven on-campus residence halls, as well as numerous opportunities for off-campus living without the commute. Due to this change, the choice between living on or off campus has become a topic of debate. Living in a residence hall can be an important learning experience, especially during a student's first year. Sophomore Courtney Turnbull lived in 1940 residence hall her freshman year and now lives off campus. Living in the residence halls allowed me to get away from my high school life, Turnbull said. It also allowed me to branch out and meet new and diverse people. Sophomore Ryan Mahoney lived in Morgan Hall his freshman year and now lives off campus. He described on-campus living as a good experience and even prefers it to off-campus living. It always felt like there was something to do, or somebody to meet, Mahoney said. Living off campus I feel kind of isolated, like I'm not really a part of the campus anymore. Junior Tyrel Watson views living off campus differently. Living in the residence hall was fun, but living off campus gives me so much more freedom, Watson said. As I got older I didn't want to be constrained by the policies of a residence hall. OFF HOUSING Living in a residence hall arguably provides better security and allows students to make friends within their building. However, it also comes with a strict drug and alcohol policy, as well as guest check-ins, where students may only check in a total of three guests during the day and one guest after midnight. Residence halls are pretty strict. Moving off campus has given me a lot more independence, Turnbull said. It's definitely a different atmosphere, but I enjoy it. Living off campus presents the problems of location, pricing and the possibility of being paired with random roommates. Each student seems to deal with these obstacles differently. I was fortunate to be able to live with some of my fraternity brothers after two years of living in the residence halls, Watson said. If it weren't for them, I probably would've had trouble figuring out any type of off campus living situation. Price was never a concern since on-campus is almost always more expensive, Mahoney added. I just wanted to live with somebody I could trust. Within the past three years, Morgan Hall, a new and modern residence hall, and The View at Montgomery, an off-campus apartment complex, have opened. Could this be a sign of things to come? WRITTEN BY JOSEPH WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHED BY SHELBIE PLETZ AND SARAH WHITEHEAD Temple Students Vacate Philadelphia for Pope Francis Visit In preparation for the long-awaited visit of Pope Francis, Philadelphia went through many transformations on the weekend of September 25, 2015. The city took extra security measures, changed public transportation schedules and expected more than one million people to flock to the city from all over the world. Philadelphia school districts closed for days and major transportation routes, such as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and 1-95, shut down for the weekend. Over the summer, media outlets and news conferences leaked information to residents about how Philadelphia would be adapting to host this global event. Many Temple students were intimidated by the predictions being made about the much-anticipated Pope weekend. Some students who live on campus or in off-campus apartments decided to head back to their hometowns — some left campus as early as Wednesday night. Junior Kara Dwyer was one of those students. The city waspreparing for tons of people to come, so they shut down major streets and dosed restaurants and city schools, Dwyer said. It seemed like the city was going to be bombarded with over a million people - kind of intimidating. Instead of dealing with the citywide madness, her family decided to spend the weekend at their beach house at the Jersey Shore. I jumped at the opportunity to leave, Dwyer said. However, not ell Temple students were daunted by the event Some chose to stay at Temple and attempt to get a glimpse of the Pope himself. Senior Benjamin Math was excited to see the transformation the city would undergo in preparation of the Pope's visit. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Pope in my hometown; Math said Pope Francis will certainly never come to Philadelphia again, and I will probably never go to the Vatican, so I had to take this opportunity to see him The Pope's Sunday mass on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway drew an enormous crowd. People filled the streets and waited hours to go through security checkpoints. Overall, the weekend went smoothly, despite the chaos many had feared Philadelphia stepped up to show the Pope, and the entire world that was watching, just how great of a city it really is. wrtm ey brittany loeffler mmm 8v jenny kerrigan Student Life It's no mystery that Temple is slowly taking over Philadelphia. With all the success the school had this year in terms of academics and athletics, it has become a well-known entity in Philadelphia. However, when the entrance to the Cecil B. Moore subway station (located on campus) was remodeled in Temple colors, it rose the question — how much is too much? The entrance to the Broad Street Line stop was covered in cherry-colored decals reading 'Temple University,' while glass walls underground were tinted the same color. The station was remodeled this August as part of Temple's new branding strategy, and it definitely attracted a lot of attention. The Cecil B. Moore Station is a major entryway to main campus, and as such we want our students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the public to see and feel the energy of our campus as soon as they arrive, Vice President for Strategic Marketing and Communications Karen Clarke said on Temple's website. The redecoration was met with praise from most Temple students. I like the new subway station, junior Michael Chism said. I think it is just another great thing about Temple. However, some residents of the surrounding North Philadelphia neighborhoods found this change upsetting. The stop is named after an important Philadelphia civil rights activist, and many found it inappropriate to cover up his name. I think it is mostly upsetting for local residents, said North Philadelphia resident Leroy Dryden. Not because of the residents, but because of people who live out of town. It is the Cecil B. Moore station, not the Temple University station, and people who live out of town aren't going to know that — that is what's upsetting. Dryden was not alone. In response to negative reactions from residents and organizations like the Philadelphia Freedom Fighters, SEPTA officials took action in late October. They removed the large Temple sign that covered the Cecil B. Moore name and took down many of the other Temple decals located inside the station. According to an article by Rob Dirienzo from Philadelphia magazine, SEPTA Assistant General Manager Fran Kelly said SEPTA made a mistake and overdid it. He also noted the stop is the only station named after an individual. The Cecil B. Moore station is a notable part of Temple's campus as well as North Philadelphia as a whole. Temple's expansion is undeniable, but hopefully this instance will help the school become part of Philadelphia in a different sense. WRITTEN BY JENNA FACCENDA PHOTOGRAPHED BY JADEMAN BAKER Student Life Student Life BLOCK LEADERS TEMPLE STUDENTS BREAKING THE BARRIER The divide between Temple students and members of the surrounding community has been present for decades. The issue was thrown into national spotlight in March 2014 when a resident of North Philadelphia hit a Temple student in the face with a brick not far off Temple's campus. Four non-Temple students were involved in the incident, which sparked many questions regarding the tense relationship between students and other residents of our shared North Philly home. Student organization Building Relationships in Communities (BRIC) is making strides to bridge the gap between students and those often referred to as locals. BRIC was created by six students: Abbey Luffey, Andrew Mazer, Veronica M. Ayala Flores, Erin Rose, Daniel Cruz and Todd Crawford. There was a brick incident a couple of years ago and the victims affected were Andrew Mazer and Abbey Luffey. It seriously affected all of us and was concrete evidence that there's something terribly wrong, said Flores. We came together and decided, 'We need to do something about this, so what are we gonna do?' The goal of BRIC is to bring different groups of people together and create better relationships between Temple and its neighboring areas. Additionally, BRIC aims to bring attention to problems within the communities, encourage safe discussion and interaction, demonstrate common interests between the subgroups and discredit the stories that separate the communities. 'This is an important issue that many people are afraid to address or fail to notice altogether, Mazer said. Although BRIC was only founded less than two years ago, it has already accomplished many projects through networking, urban landscaping and education. With such a diverse group of organizations on and around Temple's campus, BRIC hopes to bring these groups together and help each other accomplish similar goals. BRIC is currently collaborating with Asociacidn Puertorriquehos en Marcha to beautify the Germantown and 6th Street area. BRIC also implemented a good neighbor initiative that encourages students to engage in proactive and intentional efforts to build connections and relationships with their residential community. WRITTEN BY SAMARA GROSSEL PHOTOGRAPHED BY RYAN KUNA KARAOKE AT MAXI'S: TUESDAYS JUST GOT EVEN BETTER Thirsty Thursday, anyone? Nah — Temple students have a better idea, at an earlier day in the week. Things get really exciting Tuesday evenings at Maxi's Bar and Grill on Liacouras Walk, especially for students and alumni who love to sing. The hub of Liacouras Walk, Maxi's Bar and Grill, (commonly referred to as simply Maxi's), is a restaurant that serves outlandish pizzas. Friendships are often forged and strengthened here over food and drinks. Every Tuesday night during the school year. Maxi's holds its extremely popular karaoke night. It is the perfect atmosphere for people over 21 to kick back, hang out with friends and jam out to some of their favorite tunes. These nights are some of Maxi's busiest. On any given Tuesday, one can hear anything from Young the Giant's Cough Syrup to Hilary Duff's What Dreams Are Made Of. Karaoke is always entertaining, and everyone supports each other. Nobody cares what you look like or what you sound like — it's just an outlet for fun. The karaoke night disc jockey is commonly known as Karaoke Tom. He has gotten to know the students pretty well through DJing the event, and even maintains relationships with some of them. His name is Tom... Karaoke Tom, said Temple alum Shelly Paznokas. I don't know his real name. To us, it's just Karaoke Tom. People also love going to Maxi's to hang out with the bartenders, who are also super friendly. I love the bartender there. They're always really helpful and give you good drink recommendations, said student Cameron Niles. Maxi's is one of Temple's most well-known hotspots and gets quite busy at night. On karaoke nights, an ambitious singer will have to wait a few hours before he or she gets to sing more than one karaoke song. Participation is never dull. Karaoke at Maxi's runs from 9:30 p.m. to about 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday nights. Whether an individual is a professional singer or just someone who wants to have fun, this night is made everyone.

In addition to the annual homecoming pageant, there was also a golf cart parade, a pep rally and a tailgate prior to the big game against Tulane University. For many Owls, the tailgate and football game were the main attractions for homecoming weekend. Junior Justin Thomas, a member of the Cherry Crusade, said the homecoming game felt special compared to previous years. The game was definitely more lively than regular home games, Thomas said. Sophomore Marlon Bailey also described the game and tailgate as extremely enjoyable. This was my first time attending a tailgate, Bailey said. It was fun to see everybody come out before the game and show support for Temple. The Owls' win over Tulane intensified the spirited atmosphere. Temple football entered the game boasting an undefeated record, inspiring students and alumni to come out and show pride for their school. Even though I love my school regardless, I want to see them win and move up in the rankings, Bailey said. I think less students attended last year's homecoming because the team wasn't as good. 'The team's success definitely had an impact on homecoming, Thomas added. A lot more people showed up than I thought would for a game against Tulane. With a victory of 49 to 10 over Tulane, homecoming was definitely a success on the field for the Temple Owls. Freshman Ryan Frascella thinks the Owls' momentum on the field will hopefully have an impact on student interest throughout the season. When we're winning, naturally, more students will want to come out and see the games, Frascella said. Others agreed. The fans were more involved at this game than any I'd ever been to, Bailey said. It was a lot of fun. I think the football team will start to earn a better reputation if more games have atmospheres like this. WRITTEN BY JOSEPH WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHED BY GENEVA HEFFERMAN The Origin of the Owl The owl of the night makes the eagle of the day. So were the words of Temple University's founder, Russell Conwell. The story of how Temple students became Temple Owls is a long one. Because Temple began as a night school to teach students with limited means, the students were referred to as night owls. The decision to officially call students owls was made by the trustees of the Grace Baptist Church, where Conwell served as minister. In fact, the trustees chose birds to represent all three branches of the church: for the Samaritan Hospital (now Temple Hospital) they chose the dove, for Temple College they selected the owl, and for the church itself they chose the eagle. Conwell endorsed the decision and kept a plush owl on his desk. The owl was a symbol of resourcefulness and courage. In 1931, Temple's football team received a live great horned owl as a gift from the University of Missouri football team, dubbed Owliver. Unfortunately, nobody was prepared to take care of the owl and he was donated to the Philadelphia Zoo, where he lived until 1947. In 1977, Temple decided to try again and a costumed character named Victor E. Owl was introduced. Seven years later, the university conducted a contest to choose a new name for the mascot, and students chose the name Hooter. As the school's official mascot. Hooter is now a familiar face at Temple's football games, basketball games and other school spirit events. Stella, Temple's current live mascot, began her career in 2013. Stella is a great horned owl who was born in 2010 in Washington state. She arrived in Pennsylvania in 2011 and lives in the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, PA. Besides serving as Temple's live mascot, Stella also serves as an education ambassador at the Elmwood Park Zoo, helping guests learn about wildlife conservation. Hooter and Stella aren't the only owls in the collegiate nest. Although Temple was the first university in the United States to adopt the owl as a mascot, several other schools and universities across the country have joined the parliament (the name for a group of owls). Rice University in Texas has Sammy the Owl, while Kennesaw State University in Georgia has Scrappy and Brandeis University in Massachusetts has Ollie. Like Temple, Florida Atlantic University has both a costumed mascot and a live owl mascot named Hera and Owsley. Hera is the only other live owl mascot in Division I athletics, alongside Stella. Bryn Mawr College, Kenne State College and Southern Connecticut State University have owl mascots as well. The owl is one of Temple's many traditions and has a rich history that stems from Temple's origins as a night school. While the school itself has changed, all Temple students past and present know that they will always be proud Owls.

Hopefully my students will be able to look at a sandwich they're eating and understand all of the forces that went into putting that sandwich on their plate and why they might've chosen that sandwich, said Dr. Patricia Moore-Martinez, who teaches the class. Honors Eating Cultures is a Human Behavior General Education course. Students will take trips to local corner stores, farmer's markets and even an urban farm founded by a Temple graduate. Students can also bring in masterpieces of cuisine they whipped up themselves, encouraging students to utilize the kitchens available to them on campus. The class also learns about food security and access to food, not only globally, but also right here in Philadelphia. Just like Guerilla Altruism, this class is applicable to everyone on campus. Any single discipline in the university that you want to look at, some way or another, you can look at food through that lens, Moore-Martinez said. Keep these unique courses in mind when registering for classes. Take advantage of these classes as a chance to branch out, try something new and learn about yourself and the people around you. WRfTTEN BY JENNIFER HAM ME I PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHITEHEAD Academics “0 With over 308,000 Temple alumni, these former students can be found pursuing careers all across the United States. There are a certain few, though, who chose to return to their alma mater — not for a homecoming game, or to make a speech, but to teach. Some of these alumni have even become professors in the same colleges they earned their degrees from. • For some, the role reversal from student to professor was an unexpected one. Francesca Viola (CLA 78) said that she never intended to be a professor, but became interested after finishing her career in broadcast television. Not in a million years did I ever think I would be a professor, Viola said. After my years in broadcasting I decided to return to school for law. It was there where I realized that I loved academia, and now I'm an assistant professor in the journalism department. Some professors, such as Viola, have been able to transition from a different career path to being a full time professor. Others have been able to give back to the Temple community by teaching in a part-time capacity as an adjunct. Jillian Bauer (SMC '06) has brought her experience as a professional photographer and graphic designer to the classroom as an adjunct professor in the journalism department. The courses that I teach here are more multimedia-based courses, so my prior experience goes hand in hand with what I'm doing with the students, Bauer said. Becoming a college professor can be a big accomplishment for some — becoming a college professor at your alma mater can make it even more special. Viola said she takes pride in being able to help current Temple students reach their career goals. It's a very gratifying experience. It's wonderful to see students as they are learning, and feeling like you made a difference, Viola said. The fact that I can do this at a school where I received two degrees makes it even more worth it. I really like teaching here, Bauer added. As a former student. I'm comfortable in my surroundings, and feel like I'm able to connect well with all of my students. For Viola, the most satisfying thing about teaching at her alma mater is the connection she makes with her students. I'm able to keep in touch with a lot of my former students and follow their careers, Viola said. I do meet a lot of new people, but I also get to see students I taught end up with jobs in the (medial industry, and to me that's very satisfying.

In this common area, students can enjoy refreshments and find a place to study, and individuals from around the city can gather before continuing on with their routine. We get a lot of business people in the morning, and then in the evening there are a lot of students for night classes, said Gary Nines, Temple senior and bookstore attendant. With a new cafe and bookstore just downstairs from where classes are held, students can get their work done or grab snacks before classes start. Everyone's coming in. They're stopping to get a snack, coffee, or supplies before they go up to their class, Nines said. It is also used as a place to mingle. was actually getting coffee once and I met somebody who lives in my building, said Terry Hurst, a freshman in the Fox School of Business. It was cool to find a connection there. Originally, Temple's Center City campus had a bookstore on the third floor of the building. This bookstore did not have the added commodities of snacks, a modern design or outdoor seating currently on the campus. I had classes here and I was a student before it was done, Nines said. These are nice added benefits.” Today, the space is equipped with power outlets and Temple gear, and they even take Diamond Dollars. Hurst also said the space provides a social atmosphere similar to that of main campus. The coffee shop is excellent because if you have a little bit of time before class or while you're waiting for the subway, you can just hang out there and be friendly with a bunch of Temple students, Hurst said. You feel in your element even though you're in Center City.” The expansion of the cafe and bookstore was built in a corner that used to be a computer lab. Downtown I can access the bookstore. It's more convenient now, said Emanuel Korlewala, a sophomore media studies and production major. Stevenson added that it works as a liaison between the outside world and the university because Philadelphian citizens now have access to what goes on at Temple. We are getting some Temple students as well as the outside population on a daily basis. It's a business setting now. It's more open to the public — it's a good look for Temple, Nines said. WRITTEN BY MARYVIC PEREZ PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHITEHEAD Barton Hall, you've been good to Temple and CST. Now it's time to say goodbye. Sounds morbid, doesn't it? That's what Temple's College of Science and Technology posted on Facebook on Tuesday, September 22, 2015, with an accompanying photo of the nearly demolished Barton Hall. If you've ever seen the movie Divergent, The Scorch Trials, or The Hunger Games, Barton Hall, in the hub of Temple University's campus, now looks like an abandoned building from one of those films. For most of the 2015 fall semester, the building sat in the middle of campus half-demolished with cracked and broken windows and drywall leaking out of the sides. The other half of the building was split up into a few large piles of rubble. Perhaps the most interesting part of this demolition was the equipment that brought the building down. There is one vehicle in particular that students were absolutely fascinated by. “Jurassic World came to life and it's tearing Barton down, senior Jonathan Bui wrote online. He is, of course, referring to the Tyrannosaurus rex-looking vehicle that is literally biting down Barton Hall like a Philly cheesesteak. Seriously — it looked like a dinosaur. On the other hand, some people were sad about the demolition rather than entertained. A lot of science and technology students had classes in Barton Hall and were sad to see it go. With the addition of the Science Education and Resource Center, commonly known as SERC, which opened October 2014, there is hardly a need for Barton Hall now. So. what is going to replace Barton Hall? Something Temple students never thought would come to fruition: a new library. For years, there have been rumors circulating of a new, modern library to replace Paley Library. Temple confirmed these rumors with an announcement of Visualize Temple, a campaign for a new campus layout. Temple University president Neil Theobald believes that a library should play a pivotal role in any student's education. Last year, Theobald said, Temple's academic heart will be where it belongs: at the core. As for Barton Hall, it may be almost gone, but it will not be forgotten. WRITTEN BY LAUREN WAKSMAN PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHITEHEAD 49 Academics In a Living Learning Community, or LLC, a student shares a living space with fellow students in his or her major or school as a way to encourage stronger relationships among people with common interests. 'You can either have a thematic or an academic LLC, said Cassie Stanford, peer mentor for the Media and Communications LLC. It creates a community for like-minded students who live together on the floor. Living Learning Communities have recently seen a rise in popularity at Temple. The Media and Communications LLC experienced a huge increase in membership, growing from 14 to 31 students from last year to this year. Due to such a positive turnout, more Living Learning Communities are expected to come in the future. Just this past year we added two more LLCs, Stanford said. Since its beginning, the program has grown immensely to the point where we're in almost every residence hall on campus now, and next year we are looking forward to possibly having another new LLC. An LLC is composed of a program administrator from each college who teaches a one-credit freshman seminar. Peer mentors and resident assistants collaborate together for the benefit of the students. 'The resident assistant is in charge of organizing events and making sure that residents are able to cohabitate with one another efficiently and effectively, and are able to grow together, said Dise Diasonama, RA for the Music and Dance Theater LLC. Peer mentors prepare students academically and instruct them in any situation they may need help in. get more involved in the university, said Shannon Blattner, a resident in the Career Explorations LLC. Blattner joined an LLC to help her decide on a major. You have a weekly seminar and it has definitely helped me pick a major, Blattner said. In an LLC, students are also exposed to activities and excursions that happen at the beginning of the year, about a weekend earlier than normal move-in. 'This year, we got to tour Fox 29 studios and new students got to see what a future in media and communications really means, Blattner said. LLCs further encourage others to be part of a bigger community, said Diasonama, whose LLC in Johnson Hall has approximately 40 members. six, seven students in a room all playing guitar and singing, he said. We’ll have students from other floors walking on our floor say, ’Cool, I want to be in an LLC, I want to be a Peer Mentor, I want to be an RA for the LLC.’ At the end of the day, LLCs are an extra resource available to students at Temple. It’s honestly a great networking opportunity to learn who your program administrator is,” Stanford said. Your advisor and they can really help you out in the future. WRITTEN BY MARYVIC PEREZ PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHITEHEAD FUN GENEDS ON CAMPUS To many students, hearing the phrase 'GenEd' (short for general education courses) brings to mind images of math, English and other standard lectures. However, for students looking to keep their credits interesting, that is not always the case. There are many GenEd courses that mix up the old formula and provide students with a unique and enriching experience. One such class is Philadelphia Dance Experience, a course dedicated to the critical analysis of various pieces of dance. Bijaan Jiwani, a freshman at Temple, said this class stands out because of its different structure. In this GenEd, students learn hands-on. It's engaging in a very different way from my other classes, Jiwani said. There is no professor droning on and on about some lecture they have prepared. We see real performances. Following a performance, students in the class discuss its relevance and meaningfulness. We talk about how dance is used as a form of communication and why it's still an important part of culture today, especially in a city like Philadelphia, Jiwani said. Jiwani recommends this class to anyone seeking to become more culturally aware. Another noteworthy GenEd at Temple is Race Ethnicity in American Cinema. This course encourages students to dig deeper into the portrayal of race and ethnicities in film. Since the early years of filmmaking, movies have stereotyped race and therefore play a powerful role in how people perceive ethnic groups, said Professor Ginger Jolly, one of the course's instructors. But this class goes more in-depth than just watching movies. Typically, audiences don't discuss movies in terms beyond 'like it' or 'don't like it,' Jolly said. However, class discussion gives each student the opportunity to think and speak analytically about the film and to have a richer viewing experience. Student Shaun Luberski recommended another film class called Disasters: Geology Vs. Hollywood. We watch disaster movies about hurricanes, volcanoes, tornados and more. When we are done, we learn the science behind it and whether or not the film accurately portrayed the events, Luberski said. An interesting GenEd option not linked to the creative arts is a course called Doing Justice. This class views procedures and protocol within the field over the course of history. We learn about the history of police corruption in the 20s and 30s, senior Jess Messink said. It's fascinating to see how it relates to the present. It's true that history repeats itself. The class requires time and effort, since it relates to the real occupational field. It's a great experience for anyone interested in the topic, Messink said. WRITTEN BY BEN HOERMANN PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHITEHEAD Academics MEDIA IN A NEW LIGHT WHAT MSP RCAUY IS Media studies and production, commonly referred to as MSP, is a major like no other in the School of Media and Communications at Temple. Students are exposed to different aspects of what it takes to produce content for all types of media platforms. Every student in this major must successfully complete several introductory courses, which provide them with an understanding of media technology, media theory and media in society before branching off into one of four tracks of their choice. The options are emergent media, media analysis, media business and entrepreneurship and media production tracks. These classes help expand on a student's basic knowledge and skills to prepare them for a future career in the media. Along with these classes, students must either take an internship or practicum to receive further media-oriented exposure. Laura Zaylea teaches Introduction to Media Technology, a class that focuses on web design and audio and video production. I'd say the biggest benefits of this class are, number one, the exposure students get to many different types of production work, and two, that they end the semester with a polished website that they can share with the world, Zaylea said. Many students choose to create portfolio sites, and this can be helpful down the road as they are applying to internships, study away opportunities, scholarships and jobs. Senior Michael Butler has had a positive experience as a MSP major. I know how to do a little bit of everything, from creating my own audio and music to filming videos and writing reports about things I love, Butler said. The same experiences that people have to wait years to get, I am getting while in school. It's the best major you can pick if you are interested in media. The diverse selection of classes available for students in this major allow him or her to expand on every skill needed to work in the industry, since many companies are looking for candidates who are versatile. On another spectrum, sophomore Olivia Love became a MSP major this year. So far, she has only taken Introduction to Media Theory. It has bettered my knowledge of our society and philosophy ' Love said. Along with classes students must complete for the major, there are similar classes for non-majors that are fun and fulfill general education credits, such as The Future of Your TV. WRITTEN BY COURTNEY IDASETIMA PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHfTEHEAD As for the major as a whole, Zaylea said the most exciting part is the connection students have to programs Temple offers such as TUTV, Bell Tower Music, WHIP Radio and study away opportunities. w Taking and Teaching Classes W Students become certified Campus Recreation, also V-nowo as Campus Ret, s a pro am ti a V , _ _ conducts recreational programs anti activities arounti main tampus.

To senior Joel James, a facility monitor for Campus Wee, learning from fellow students in classes at Temple's p' ms provides a more encouraging environment. James said having students teach at Campus Wee is a good wa to further encourage health and fitness on campus. It's easier for students to come up and talk to other students than t is to talk to an adult, James said. “I ust think it makes it an overall easier experience for the students.

PHOToswphawommm Politics on Campus Elephant and donkey Owls make their voices heard on campus THWBjfcfr Temple's student body and faculty represent 150 countries and all 50 states, so it comes as no surprise that campus embodies many varying political ideologies. With the 2016 election drawing closer, supporters from all sides of the political spectrum make their voices heard on campus. The Temple University College Republicans and Temple College Democrats are both active groups on campus. Travis Unger is the chairman of Temple University College Republicans CTUCRsl. one of the most active Republican groups in Philadelphia. He schedules events, leads meetings and makes deals with local Republican supporters. We're the most active volunteers in Philadelphia for Republicans, Unger said. We knock on the most doors and make the most phone calls. We're always invited to events so they look well attended. TUCRs Executive Director Austin Severns is excited about the upcoming presidential election in November 2016. I think the upcoming election is extremely interesting. There is an unbelievable amount of candidates. Some say it means the party is divided and some say it's a good thing, Severns said. Democrats have Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who larel exact opposites. Both Unger and Severns agree Marco Rubio is the most appealing candidate, though their personal views do not reflect TUCRs as a whole. He really understands our generation and our student debts. He's a good candidate for millennials to vote for, Unger said. On the other side of the spectrum, Temple College Democrats (TCDl hold varying views for their counterparts. TCD President Damien Bower was initially a Republican, but switched sides because of economic policy. There was a lot I started to think about differently over time, including certain governmental approaches to issues I felt were more important than a gigantic economic growth rate Bowen said. I think the Republican Party isn't really progressing. As president of the organization, Bower connects people with internships in campaigns around the city and finds speakers to talk to the group. Bower is interested in a career in state politics. I'm really impressed with what Temple does. I know it's hard to be a Republican here, but they do good work and they're always out doing something, Bower said. Temple is very open to activism, and there's a lot of activism on campus. I'm really happy with the different types of voices that are here. TCD Events Coordinator Sandra Vogel became involved in political science so she could learn how the system works. “We, as Temple College Democrats, hugely encourage voter registration here in Philly, said Vogel, who often participates in political events around campus. She also believes that neither party is certain who will run in the 20T6 election. I think both parties are experiencing issues. With the Republicans, so many people are running and no one has the clear support of the party, Vogel said. With the Democrats, Hillary Clinton seemed to be the party favorite, but now there's growing support for Bernie Sanders. Politics play a huge role on Temple's campus. Both parties on campus agree that the upcoming presidential election will bring a lot of turmoil. Still, both organizations are determined to help influence the outcome. While both parties make their voices heard on campus, whether you're an elephant or donkey, everyone at Temple is united by being an owl. WRITTEN BY JON GILBERT PHOTOGRAPHED BY SARAH WHITEHEAD THE LENS A LOOK INTO THE LIVES OF FILM STUDENTS Under the School oi Theater, Film and Media Arts, Temple offers prospective filmmakers specialized programs to prepare them for future careers in the world of film development and production Students have the option to take a general approach in film and media arts or pick a concentration in cinematography, postproduction, producing, screen studies, directing, media arts, screenwriting, or a minor in screen studies. Students get hands-on experience by creating their own film projects, some of which are feature-length, while leading the pre-production, production and post-production processes. Pre-production Includes developing an idea, writing a script and assigning roles to cast and crew. Senior Dan Foster knows this all too well after deciding to direct his own film for his senior project. His 15-minute film depicts overcoming racism, a subject that is very important to him. He believes in devoting one's self to a project. It’s not just some film you're making with your friends, Foster said. It is challenging to tackle such an important issue in such a short amount of time. To further capture the importance of overcoming racism and create meaning in his project, he wrote many drafts of his script. He said he struggled the hardest with the short period of time given to finish the project. Foster explained the differences between popular belief and what the actual creation of a film is like. When people think of movies, they think we just press record, actors act and it’s done, Foster said. But there are so many other variables that the director, producer and everybody apart of it has to take into account. The professors and students at the film school help create an atmosphere that encourages students to push for success. If there is one thing Foster has realized while attending film school at Temple, he said it's that one's own effort is what makes it all gain value. “Film school is as good as you make it, Foster said. You have professors who want you to be successful, but in the end you have to push yourself to make the best possible project vou can because if you don't, you're not going to progress. Film students are also able to enroll in graduate programs. These programs include Film and Media Arts. MediaXarts: Cinema for New Technologies and Environments, Theater Acting, Theater Design.Theater Directing.Theater Playwriting, or earn a graduate certificate in Documentary Arts and Ethnographic Research. The Master of Fine Arts in Film and Media Arts program is made up of approximately 40 students who are dedicated to crafting their skills in film. Michael Knoll is a student in the master screenwriting class, a two-semester course where students write and revise scripts for a feature-length film. Screenwriting consists of developing and writing scripts for mass media, which is Knoll's focus in the program. While screenwriting. Knoll said it is likely that the initial idea will not have the same ideals of the final production. ■“There is a very good chance that the final script is not the same as the first draft of the story, Knoll said. You can have a great story, but it often doesn't turn out the way you wanted because other aspects of filmmaking were lacking. Before registering for a spot in the program at Temple, Knoll only had high school film experience. Temple's program has put me in a position and given me the knowledge and experience that I need to make a career out of film, Knoll said.

Some of them happen on stage in front of an audience. Insomnia Theater is an event hosted by Temple twice a semester where students create an entire stage show within a 24-hour period. You have 24 hours to write and perform a show, and people can sign up to be an actor, writer, or director, said senior Kevin Wadee, who has participated in Insomnia Theater since his sophomore year. Wadee said the writers and directors pick actors based on an audition and write a ten minute play based around those actors. The next day, all participants get together at the bell tower to rehearse. The show is ready by 7 p.m. that night, after costumes and props have been coordinated. 0This was the first organization I joined as a student, senior Jacynda Purnell said. It's very open and welcoming. You don't need to be a theater major to join. Students have used Insomnia Theater as a way to meet others and as a vehicle to get involved on campus.

Many prominent people have stood on the stage, including Wolf Blitzer, who delivered a speech of encouragement to Temple Owls this fall semester. Arts Center “If you suffer a setback early in your career, don't give up, keep fighting because it is going to get better if you really pursue it, Blitzer said. Setting the stage for Philly’s art community TPAC has hosted performances and talks by BET executive and Temple alum Paxton Baker, Kelly Clarkson, David Gray, Thirty Seconds to Mars and Meek Mill, among others. Rebecca Cole, a sophomore majoring in music education with a concentration in voice, said the diverse performances at TPAC attract waves of potential students from the various audiences that come to performances. There are so many different types of performances, I think it's a great way for Temple to be recognized, Cole said. “We have a great space that people can use for performances, but it's also really nice because it's used for a variety of performances. As a music major. Cole knows what it's like to be on that stage. As a Temple owl. Cole has also been part of the audience. “It's a beautiful space, so it's quite an experience to stand on stage and look at such a beautiful surrounding, Cole said. It makes the performance that much more special. The space has also been used for film screenings and shoots, classical concerts, comedy nights and hypnotist shows. General Manager Sean Roche is one of the main people in charge of keeping these university and North Philadelphia community events up and running. Roche organizes and coordinates events within the space, which may be booked for private or open events. TPAC is part of the Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts here at Temple, Roche said. We are an academic space, serving our arts community and larger Temple family with over 200 events per annum. TPAC also marks new beginnings, as the commencement of the 28,000 freshmen took place there this fall semester, as it does every year. This building is the oldest on campus, Roche said. It's where Temple began. It first opens its doors to potential freshmen for events such as Experience Temple Day, and opens one last time to bid farewell to graduating students on graduation day. 'I've seen performances there, and it's really interesting going to see a percussion performance, a band, an orchestra play or a choir sing, Cole said. But then also you think back and say 'at orientation we did all those things at TPAC.' It's really a cool place for Temple to hold different events. Different events are hosted at TPAC throughout the school year, showing diversity and inclusiveness in terms of programming, audience and school pride. Temple demonstrates the pride attached to being a Temple Owl by honoring and congratulating its students through inaugurations and award ceremonies hosted at this revered building. Its new incarnation as a performing arts center came into being more than six years ago, after it was decided the old building needed renovation, Roche said. Though the building was renovated at a $30 million cost. Temple conserved hundreds of stained glass windows that were already in the building, adding to its unique style. It's a beautiful space. The architecture either lends itself for sound or really hinders the sound, Cole said. Practicing in our practice room and then going into TPAC is quite the change.

The job is tough when you have an exam the next morning and you get a duty call at three in the morning, said Tyler Francis Device, RA for the tenth floor of Hardwick Hall. What I had to juggle most was the RA job and other activities. Device is responsible for the School of Media and Communication Living Learning Community (LLC). The sophomore communications major found himself overwhelmed with responsibilities at one point, and ended up taking a back seat from many of his involvements. My job as an RA is everything. I am a mentor, a support system, a friend, someone who enforces protocol when necessary, someone who is there to help at any time and someone who is also a human, said Brianna Walker, a junior RA studying recreational therapy. Device said one of his biggest roles is promoting an inclusive environment. However, with roughly 38 LLC students and 15 who are not in the LLC, promoting unity on the floor can be challenging. (The residents! became almost two crowds. I work to have the tenth floor united, not just one or the other, Device said. You hear a lot about the perks of being an RA, but they definitely make you work for them. Though not all duty nights are busy, RAs also participate in weekly meetings, hall decorations, training and staff discords. RAs have to be responsible, caring, patient, and a lot of the times have to admit they're wrong when it comes to a quarrel with the staff. But this job has taught me not only to never look down on myself if something doesn't go my way, but also to trust other people, Device said. Some days the RA position can feel like a breeze. We live at Peabody where we're on duty all the time, Walker said. Between being an RA, having classes, having an internship and still trying to live my life as a human, it gets very busy. RAs find growth one way or another due to the increased responsibilities that come with the job. The overall development you get as a person is the best part. I have grown so much from being an RA. You learn from (your residents! a lot as well, Walker said. Neil T. Hilton, RA for the seventh floor of Johnson Hall, said the phrase you are always an RA surrounds an RA's everyday schedule. This is because RAs are the eyes and ears of campus, even in class. Hilton said RAs seek a daily balance between being an authority figure, finding personal time, being support systems and still attending to their student selves. Sometimes people forget that you're a student first, Walker said. You can do this job because you like what it comes with or you can do this job because you actually like everything about it, Device said. I love the person that it takes to be Ian RAj.

In addition to beating their in-state rivals, the Owls started the season 7-0 for the first time in school history, and earned their first national ranking since 1979. Temple started off the season with arguably the most important game of the year, a home matchup against Penn State. When the final whistle blew, the scoreboard read 27-10 in favor of the Owls, ending a 74-year winless streak against the Nittany Lions. The victory over Penn State was huge, said fifth-year wide receiver John Christopher. It laid the foundation for the rest of our season, and got Philly excited about Temple football. to losing at that point, but Coach (Rhulel stressed to us not to listen to the outside world, and there was still a lot left to play for, said Delvon Randall, a freshman defensive back. The team bounced back to win three of the last four games of the season, finishing with a record of 10-2. The ten wins match the highest win total in Temple football history. Losing only one conference game all season. Temple won the American Athletic East division championship and earned the right to face Houston in the inaugural American Athletic Conference championship game. Unfortunately, the Owls suffered another loss, 24-13. The season concluded with a trip to the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl, where Temple faced Toledo. This marked Temple's first appearance in a bowl game since 2011. Following the win, the team used its momentum to do something no Temple football team had done before — start a season 7-0. It was a great time for team bonding, said senior cornerback Tavon Young. The team was able to spend a lot of time together and just enjoy the moment. The Owls took that streak to a nationally televised home game against Notre Dame. Going into the game, both teams were ranked among the top 25 in the country, and anticipation was high. Earlier in the day, ESPN's College Gameday aired live in Philadelphia. Temple fans, students and alumni flocked to Independence Mall in support of the program. The Owls lost a close game of 24-20, but did not let that impact their focus going forward. The Notre Dame loss hurt because we weren't used The Owls fell 32-17, but the players didn't let the loss detract from their historic season. This was a great year for the seniors, we really bonded and still feel it was a special season, Christopher said. It was a great year because our team came together and was able to win some big games. It was my favorite season as an Owl, Young said.

FRESHMEN MEN'S BASKETBALL PLAYERS BREAK THE MOLD THREE NEW PLAYERS PREPARE TO LEAD THE TEAM In college athletics, juniors and seniors typically play the most and are asked to set a good example for the younger athletes. However, sometimes a freshman breaks through and makes an immediate impact on the team. In the case of the 2015-2016 men's basketball team, three freshmen were able to make significant contributions at the beginning of their college careers. Levan Shawn Alston, Jr., Trey Lowe and Ernest Aflakpui made their mark on Temple's court at a young age. While all three said the transition from high school to college athletics brought about certain difficulties, they were all able to enroll in the program over the summer and make the process a bit easier. Being here over the summer was helpful, Alston Jr. said, guard and forward for the team. It helped me balance athletics with classes, so I was ready by August. While Alston Jr. believes the summer helped him adapt to his new, more hectic schedule, Lowe says he was able to focus on improving his skills as a basketball player. Over the summer, I was able to play against bigger, stronger and faster athletes, which helped me prepare for the college level, Lowe said. Aflakpui, affectionately known as Big Ern, had the misfortune of coming into the season with an injury. The center was able to work his way into the lineup after recovering. He said that if the coaches see players are putting in the effort, they will get to play no matter what year they are. focused on getting healthy and being able to practice, Aflakpui said. Once I was cleared to participate, I began to work hard. If Coach Dunphy sees that you are working hard enough, he'll give you minutes. Head Coach Fran Dunphy said he couldn't be more pleased with how they have handled themselves during the season. All three have done a terrific job, Dunphy said. They have no fear and showed that they want to participate and make contributions. They've exceeded my expectations. Being able to get consistent playing time as freshmen has certainly helped the three in the short term, and according to them, will pay off in the future. This year has given me a lot of insight on how basketball games can go, so by the time I'm an upperclassman I'll have learned what it takes to win the close games, Alston Jr. said. It's a great experience to learn from some of the older guys, so when it's my turn I can teach the young guys the ropes, Lowe added. With a chance to be on the team for possibly five years, Dunphy knows this trio has the potential to become even better players over the course of their careers. The three of them are huge to our future, and I think they'll be terrific college basketball players, Dunphy said.

Alliya Butts, a sophomore guard, contributed to the win over Houston, playing 34 minutes and putting up 11 points. The team started utilizing more defensive plays on court to maximize their potential. (Playing] is a total team effort. We aren't selfish with the ball, Head Coach Tonya Cardoza said. The biggest (difference] between now and before is our communication. Most team members agreed that communication is the key to success, and with better communication came growth for this team. I feel like now we have grown and defense is what gets us going. Earlier we were focused on the offensive side and scoring, Cardoza said. We are always talking about growth, and this game (against Houston] showed our growth. Defensively, we were solid. Offense is important in a game like basketball, but Cardoza realized that if the team is not scoring, they can maintain a strong defense and make sure the other team is not scoring too. Continuous wins have the team ready to see what will happen next in seasons to come. 'We are excited about the wins, where we are, and how we are playing, Cardoza said. WRITTEN BY COURTNEY ID ASET IMA PHOTOGRAPHED BY JADEMAN BAKER Many college athletic programs have the luxury of having multiple coaches, but for the men's and women's tennis teams at Temple, things are handled quite differently. Head Coach Steve Mauro and Assistant Coach Frederika Girsang are responsible for coaching both teams. It's a big time commitment with coaching, recruiting and doing administrative work, but I love what I do and enjoy being around both teams, Mauro said. Their only additional aid is Graduate Assistant Coach Monica Gorny, who works solely with the women. Although managing two teams may sound challenging, the coaches make use of their scheduling by setting practices at specific times to get the most out of their time with the players. Most teams in college tennis are allowed 50 total match dates, so I can set up the schedule so there aren't many conflicts between the teams, Mauro said. We try to make our practice times as efficient as possible, Girsang said. Sometimes we may overlap practices, or practice at the same time so we give equal attention to the players. Even though both coaches spend a lot of time with the players on the court, they do get some help off the court. The men and women both have their own strength and conditioning coaches, which is a big help, Mauro said. 'Administration has also been a huge help to us, especially with equipment and the upkeep of the courts. As with nearly all collegiate athletics programs, recruiting plays a big role in Temple's tennis program. With such a small staff, one could imagine that it would be difficult to make connections and bring in high caliber players for the program, but both coaches actually think their current setup is simpler. I think it's actually easier to recruit, especially when it comes to making connections, Mauro said. I may be recruiting a player from a specific country, and they may have heard of, or already know a player on the current team from the same country. We make a lot of contacts with recruiting agencies, which is where we do the bulk of our initial recruiting, Girsang said. We've made connections internationally, which is where we get most of our recruits, but locally as well. After all the time both coaches put in, they feel it is a rewarding experience. I treat it all as tennis, and enjoy coaching both teams, Mauro said. It's a rewarding experience to be able to be there for the players and help them on and off the court, Girsang added.

Matthews describes golf as a very mentally taxing yet addicting sport. Matthews grew up surrounded by sports and decided to pursue golf when he was in high school and had to decide where he wanted to go to college. I ended up choosing Temple because of my coach and the teammates here, Matthews said. I came here and started working with my coach and he has taken me a long way. In the past year, Matthews has achieved a number of accomplishments golfing at Temple. In April 2015, he was named the American Athletic Conference Men's Golfer of the Week. He broke the school record for a season stroke with 71.0, and tied school marks for three consecutive wins and eight career wins. During summer 2015, Matthews won the 111th Open Championships for the second time. It's always great to win something in Philadelphia. It's a great competition with great people and the association that runs it is incredible, Matthews said. I always love playing in those events. It was a great day overall and I'm just lucky enough to come out with a win for that again. Senior teammate Liam Fahey agrees that the team has a Although Matthews is graduating next year, he is confident great bond. that golf will be a part of his future. My relationship with my teammates and coach is very good. They have helped me become a better golfer and a better person, Fahey said. Since joining the men's golf team at Temple, Matthews has noticed his skills in golf improve since his freshman year. My mental and physical state has gotten a lot stronger as well as my consistency, Matthews said. All around, I think I have improved and I don't think there is a side of me that has gotten weaker. I hope to be on the PGA tour within the next three years. If I can do that, I think I'll succeed pretty well out there — it's just a lot of hard work and dedication, which I am pretty used to at this point. Matthews said. I'm really excited for what the future holds and hopefully I'll be holding a bunch of trophies within the next couple of years.

Temple was able to hold onto its lead for the rest of the first half.

After an incredible 2015 season with a record-breaking high of 12 wins, the Owls look forward to more double-digit winning seasons. That is not the only record the Owls set for the year. Senior defender Erin Lafferty set the record for the highest number of games played in the program with 79 games. Setting the program record is a great achievement for myself, Lafferty said. Throughout my four years of playing, I wasn't focused on setting any records, but rather doing whatever it took to help my team succeed and continue to grow. Lafferty and teammate Kelly Farrell were named to the second team All-Athletic Conference as well as the NSCAA's All-Northeast Region second team. It was an honor [to be named). I am happy to see that this program is beginning to get the credit and recognition we deserve through numerous different honors this season, Lafferty said. Another high point for the team was beating Saint Joseph's University for the first time in history and La Salle University for the first time since 2002. Additionally, freshman goalkeeper Jordan Nash was named to the conference's All Rookie team, a deserved placement after her contributions this season. In 19 games, she contributed three shutouts and 70 saves. Throughout my four years, the program has continued to improve and become nationally known. We have become more fit, skilled, and most importantly, we have developed an attitude that is the key to our success. We never give up or accept defeat and fight until the last minute with everything we have, Lafferty said. And it shows. The team takes bonding between games seriously. Day in and day out the girls support each other with gestures like doing each other's hair before a game and being supportive, encouraging and positive. We couldn't be where we are without each and every person, senior defender Kaylee Harner said. All members of the team worked hard to get the program where it is today. Although the team is losing nine seniors, the underclassmen have held their own and will enter the 2016 season as a motivated, strong group of returners. will be graduating this spring. I would [like to] tell the team to continue to set their goals higher, and strive for more than they have accomplished the previous year.

This year, they went 10-7-2 with statement victories over Pennsylvania State University and University of Cincinnati. They went 8-1-2 out of conference and 2-6 in conference. One of the team's greatest attributes was their chemistry and ability to play for each other. Despite having seven new starters on the field, the team came together in preseason camp and built a specialcomradery. The Owls developed a unique chemistry very early on in the season, “Everyone was friends on and off the field. We loved going to practice. We loved everything about the team, “ freshman midfielder Belal Mohamed said. If someone started over you, you were happy for “The team chemistry was great this year. We had a great group of guys who blended together, Head Coach David MacWiHiams said.

This was the first time the team ranked since 1997, when they ranked number 15 in the country. The team hopes to improve on scoring goals in future seasons. Junior midfielder Jorge Gome: Sanchez led the team with 13 goals. The next highest on the team was a three-way tie between Mohamed, Justin Stoddart and Carlos Moros Gracia, who all scored three times during the season.

During the women's crosscountry fall season, Fernandez became the team's first ever NCAA Mid-Atlantic regional cross-country champion, maintaining an undefeated season. Fernandez started running track and field when she was 12, but prefers cross-country. I'm actually kind of clumsy so I think I'm better at cross-country because only running is involved, Fernandez said. This season has been good. I wasn't expecting to win all of these meets. Fernandez credits her primary, or middle school, teacher in Le6n for helping her realize her gift. He said, 'you run kind of fast,' and from there he coached me in track and field through primary school and then high school, she said. Fernandez said she was doing well in Spain, qualifying for national championships every year that she was eligible. She said one of her biggest accomplishments was winning National Champion in the European Cross Country League. I felt very, very special because of the atmosphere, Fernandez said. Everyone is wearing your country's colors and cheering for you and it's very exciting. Fernandez said her main reason for coming to the United States was to study sports business management — a field of study they did not offer at the University of Leon. Fernandez liked Temple for its prime urban location with nothing too far away. This is the first time she has been away from her family. I always say on social media that I'm living the American dream, Fernandez said. In Spain, you're a person who just runs and studies. Here, you are celebrated and given scholarships and all of the best resources. James Snyder, an assistant coach for women's crosscountry, said Fernandez's efforts merit celebration. 'Watching Blanca win the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional over a stellar field was incredibly memorable, Snyder said. She became the first female in Temple history to advance to the NCAA Championships in cross-country. Snyder said he hopes the team will continue its success for next year's season. In addition to Fernandez's wins, team members Maddie Bixler, Alexis O'Shea and Katie Pinson have placed well in various races — all three placed in the top 15 at the Duquesne Duals. 'This was a growing year for our team, and we have high expectations for the future with a lot of new faces, Snyder said. Fernandez said her greatest accomplishment this season was placing first in the Lehigh University Invitational meet. 'There were 315 other girls in the thir line with me and I wasn't expecting victory, Fernandez said.

WRITTEN ev SIENNA t PHOTOGRAPHED BY LID WELCOMING THE NEW, REMEMBERING THE OLD CROSS COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MATTHEW KACYON'S LIFE, UNTIL NOW •I'm not sure that it's hit me that it's over yet, said Matthew Kacyon. Something I always wanted to do was run crosscountry and track and field. Kacyon graduated Temple after the fall semester of 2015. Shortly after, the School of Media and Communication alum was named on the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Team — a prestigious recognition for athletes who have excelled both physically and academically. It was an honor to be recognized, Kacyon said. Since I graduated and am not doing cross-country anymore, it was great to hear that I got this award. I'm proud that I extended my education to come and run for Temple. Kacyon said the men's cross-country team helped open doors for him. I'm thankful for the world of opportunities that I had, Kacyon said. Through cross-country you're used to that network. You're used to a family helping to extend your athleticism and push your body. Kacyon said the team has come a long way from two years ago when Temple cut seven sports from its athletic program. Though the men's cross-country team was not cut, men's track and field was, and the team still suffered and lost recruits because of it. James Snyder, the assistant coach of the team, said this was one of the best seasons in its history. Over the past three years we've progressed from eight to sixth to fourth in the conference standings, Snyder said. Matt Kacyon and Alex Izewski earning all-conference honors was very special. Matt being named to the All-Academic Team was a great honor. He’s had a fantastic career on the course and in the classroom, so this certainly makes me proud. Snyder said his decision for the team to run in the IC4A Division I Cross Country Championship was based on the work ethic of the team members. He said that Kacyon, along with senior Alex Izewski and freshman Johnathan Condly, made huge impacts on the team's success. I’d like for this group to be remembered for all the hard work they've put in and everything they've been through in their time here at Temple, Snyder said. These seniors were sophomores three years ago when the men's track program was cut. They decided to stick it out here because they believed in our training and believed in one another. I hope they can look back on this program now as alumni and be proud of the legacy they've left. Though Kacyon has graduated, he wished the new recruits well and had some advice for them for next season. This year, however, the team welcomed a surge of new members composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. Coach Snyder put in work recruiting and bringing a good handful of guys, Kacyon said. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do next year. Keep a level head, Kacyon said. Enable your body to perform at its peak, do what you need to do to stay hydrated, and don't be too stressed out. It all counts. WRITTEN BY SIENNA VANCE Women’s Track and Field Team Embraces Change When the women's track and field team won the 4x400m relay at the Penn Relays on April 25, 2015, they won more than just the race. Team members Hollis Coleman, Demeshia Davis, Kenya Gaston and Kiersten LaRoche blazed to a first place finish with a time of 3:42.75. The moment was one of the team's brightest in their first season without the men, whose program was cut in December 2013. Since then, the team has adjusted. They have noticed they are outnumbered at races, but continue to be motivated. The team eats dinner together and tries to incorporate team activities whenever possible. They recognize that they all have different personalities, but do not let that deter them from their goals. “We are one-track minded and we know what our goals are, junior Megan Schneider said. The coaches do a really good job giving us direction, but when it comes down to it, it's all about what we want to take away. The bigger adjustment comes from the loss of graduated seniors Kaitlin McSurdy, Michelle Beadle and Kiersten LaRoche. LaRoche is arguably the most notable since she finished the season with three top finishes. Head Coach Elvis Forde is returning for another year at the Owl's helm and was encouraged by some of last year's successes. One of the things I learned was to never doubt the unexpected, but nevertheless the ones that have the ability to perform at this level came through and did some wonderful things for us, Forde said. The 2015 season started on December 5. The women competed in the At Fast Time Meet and were geared for any result. I think starting off the season on a high note will set the tone for the rest of the season going on, Janneh said. If we come out and we aren't doing as well as we expect to be or should be, I don't want that to set us back. There were like ten of us in the stands, but there was enough of us to storm the field, senior Jamila Janneh said. Tears were shed. It was that one moment where we all kind of realized, 'This is all us. We are all we have.' It solidified us as the small, close-knit team that we are. It's something that nobody can take away from us. They were the mothers of the team, Janneh said. They looked out for us in our work ethic and in the classroom. They were model individuals. They were the people you could go to for anything. They still motivate us even though they aren't here. PHOTOGRAPHED BY JADEMAN BAKER Volleyball team works worldwide, year-round o 3 § 30 CD O Temple volleyball has one of the most diverse rosters in terms of hometowns of all the athletic teams at Temple. Eight of the 16 players come from outside the state of Pennsylvania, and four more come from overseas, giving the Owls a unique blend of players. Due to the nature of volleyball recruitment, it is common that the player will reach out to the coaching staff, instead of the staff making initial contact with the player. Senior Alyssa Drachslin said the recruitment process required a good amount of work on her end. Volleyball recruiting is a bit different than other sports. You have to really reach out and prove to coaches that you're good enough for their program, Drachslin said. I would email coaches just to get my name out. There was definitely some legwork on my end. Assistant Coach Akiko Hatakeyama also serves as the team's recruiting coordinator. She said the coaching staff tries to cover all aspects when dealing with potential recruits. We all work closely, Hatakeyama said. Coach Bakeer Ganesharatnam and the assistant coaches are in communication with potential recruits, and we're able to travel to different tournaments around the country. With players coming from as far as Turkey, the coaching staff tends to get in contact with potential recruits somewhat early in their high school careers. Freshman player Mia Heirakuji was first contacted during her junior year of high school. My first contact with Temple was my junior year, when Coach Ganes and Akiko visited Hawaii for a combine, Herakuji said. From there, the process took roughly two years, Herakuji said. There were a few other schools I'd been in contact with, but the facilities and academics at Temple really stood out to me. For seniors, many of the buildings and resources available now weren't open during their freshman and sophomore years. Drachslin remembers a different Temple when she visited nearly four years ago. When I first visited, I had to step over pieces of cardboard just to get to the coaches office, Drachslin said. Still, she was undeterred by the state of main campus when making her decision. Temple is a great university, Drachslin said. I came here less for the external factors, but more for the individuals I met, like my teammates. Recruiting for coaches is a yearlong process, and for Hatakeyama, it's all about finding the best people possible. We are in constant communication trying to figure out what type of player and person a potential recruit is, Hatakeyama said. We always focus on getting players we think will best fit the program.

The team has a lineup of new coaches and members. Teammates had to adjust to these changes, which means they modified certain techniques and practiced routines repetitively. The team did an amazing job with welcoming new coaches and ideas, Salim-Beasley said. We want them to enjoy their experience at Temple and benefit from their hard work. To ensure the team reached their full potential at their first competition, the coaches stressed the importance of work ethic and team bonding. The coaches aimed to improve communication among the team members. “We trained at the International Gymnastics Campus and Camelback Mountain in the Poconos to build trust and solidify the group, Salim-Beasley said. The team members also stepped up to the plate to lead the team. Three young women were nominated for the 2016 captain positions because of their strong gymnastics skills and work ethics. One of the team's captains, Hannah Popper, is a senior at Temple majoring in biology with a focus in pre-med. It is an honor to be one of the captains, Popper said. I try to keep a positive attitude to lift 1 the team's spirits and give a positive outlook to help them reach their potential. The captains meet before practice to go over anything they need to bring to the attention of the team or the coaches. The captains have an open dialogue with one another, practice good communication skills and promote positivity amongst the team. “We try to work as a cohesive unit and we are all excited this year because we have great talent on the team that will surprise people. Popper said. The women's gymnastics team is lead by new head coach Umme Salim-Beasley, who was the former women's assistant gymnastics coach at Rutgers University. Salim-Beasley was contacted by the former senior athletic assistant coach to see if she was interested in accepting the head coach position with Temple's women's gymnastics team. I wanted to make sure the team had the full support of the athletics program, Salim-Beasley said. When I realized that the athletics program is very supportive, I accepted. She started coaching the team in May 2015. To prepare for their first competition, the team focused on practicing routines, consistency and building confidence. Assistant Coach Michael Rosso, former volunteer assistant coach of the women's gymnastics team at Rutgers University, is another new addition to the team. Rosso worked alongside Salim-Beasley to prepare the team for their first competition. PHOTOGRAPHED BY JADEMAN BAKER It is no secret that Temple men's crew was one of the Division 1 sports that got cut from the athletic program during the 2013-2014 school year. With the success that the team had this year, one would not be able to tell that the team was ever cut. Coaching since 2010, Brian Perkins is amazed at the results the members had during the fall season and hopes those results continue as the team prepares for the upcoming seasons. The team competed in five races this fall and will prepare to compete in six races during the spring semester. The fall season was a baseline to prepare for the bigger priority races in spring 2016. The team finished strong with eight first-place finishes in their finale at the Bill Braxton Memorial Regatta this season. With their newfound confidence, the team is able to be more successful in recruiting new members, and it also does not hurt that the freshman class of recruits are doing very well this season. The amount of members has doubled in size since the reinstallment of the program under the university's Division 1 sports teams. Unlike many other sports, crew consists of mini teams within the team that have between four and eight members. These members race together for events in a lineup. The sport requires more than just knowing how to row a boat, and the members practice early in the morning to ensure they are mastering techniques. The recent winning streak of the team has led to advancements for the program. 'We have a full staff now. In the past 30 or 40 years of the program, we have never had a full staff, Perkins said. With a full staff, a good amount of members and support from the university. Temple has funded the program again. By participating in two seasons of racing a year, there is never time to take their eye off the prize for the team. Perkins said he looks forward to the Dad Vail Regatta, the largest collegiate regatta in the United States, which is held at the Schuylkill River every spring. Temple has won the Dad Vail Regatta more than any other school, Perkins said. It would be great to see the team pull another win in the biggest rowing competition in the country. WRITTEN BY COURTNEY IDASETIMA PHOTOGRAPHED BY GENEVA HEFFERMAN THE NEWFOUND SUC THE CUE ■L. SUPERSTARS ROWING Above every other practice, the women's rowing team values teamwork. Lily Papaleo, the captain of the rowing team, said the sport demands a high amount of strength and endurance, as well as working with other teammates. Papaleo fell in love with rowing years ago and has not looked back since. I started rowing as a freshman in high school and got hooked on the competitiveness and camaraderie involved in the sport, Papaleo said. I knew I couldn't give it up, so I only looked at schools with rowing teams. Papaleo is a senior at Temple majoring in strategic communications with an organizational leadership concentration. She can be described as competitive and committed, which she uses to help lead the team. All team members are also motivated students and athletes, which lead to a successful fall season that kicked off with three wins at the Navy Day Regatta. A day of practice for the team consists of strict warmups. We usually do long, extended pieces up and down the Schuylkill and try to get around eight to ten miles in. Indoors, we focus more on time than distance — we do about 60 to 120 minutes of cardio, Papaleo said. Team captains are chosen based off their leadership skills and ability to support their teammates. Our coach often asks, 'Who would you want in charge if for some reason all of the coaches were not available?' Papaleo said. We act as a liaison between coaches and rowers. Success is not achievable overnight. The team had to identify its strengths and abilities before the season started. Winter is a crucial time for the team. The most motivation comes during the winter when we are indoors because it's definitely the most mentally challenging period of time for most rowers. [Head Coach) Rebecca Smith Grzybowski says that it's okay to feel scared going in, but she and the other coaches remind us that anything is possible if you are willing, Papaleo said. Grzybowski was on maternity leave during the beginning of the season. The team compensated by leaning on each other for support and guidance. Our teammates were flexible with all the changes that were happening and having multiple interim coaches. I think everyone did a great job rolling with the punches. However, Rebecca is very much the emotional and mental foundation of the team, Papaleo said. The team's philosophy contributes to its success. Our general philosophy is, 'with each other, for each other.' Teamwork is probably the most important component to what we do, Papaleo said. Rowing is not like other sports where there are star players that possess a specific strength or skill. Boats are only successful when every rower is in complete synchronization with each other. WRITTEN BY NADERAH BROOKS After a disappointing end to the 2015 season when the women's lacrosse team missed out on the Big East Tournament for the second straight year, the team is coming out hungry this year. The Owls are aiming to improve over the 2015 season, where they finished sixth out of eight teams in the conference. One strength the team has is a core group of upperclassmen returning to the team. The team had six double-digit goal scorers in 2015, and they all returned for the new season. 'While every year is a new year and every team is a new team, there is no denying that returning all but four players, including thirteen seniors, makes it feel as if this team has been forming for years, said Bonnie Rosen, head coach and National Lacrosse Hall of Fame member. Despite having as much offensive prowess as the team possessed last year, Rosen hopes the team will improve at creating assisted scoring opportunities instead of mainly scoring through one-on-one opportunities. When the team looked back at the footage of the season, they realized over half the team's goals were unassisted. Rosen is looking for a more versatile and fluid offense so that scoring can come from all around. As we head into the start of our season, we are looking to evolve our offense so we can use both sets of attacking skills, not necessarily in a balanced way, but in a flexible way, Rosen said. Defensively, the team is lead by veterans. Many team members learn from fifth year goalkeeper Jaqi Kakalecik. 'While Jaqi has been a strong goalie to this point, she has really begun to learn how to improve small aspects of her game, which are leading to an even greater ability for her to make saves, Rosen said. The Owls began the season with ten out-ofconference games until playing six in-conference games to end the season right before the Big East tournament. 'The real key to our season will be how well we continue to learn, grow and adapt, Rosen said. As long as they improve and hone their skills, the team will be in good shape. Hopes are high on North Broad that they can make a push to get to the Big East tournament. Rosen expects the team to continually improve this season and hopes to ultimately attain a Big East title. 'Our goals are to get ourselves to the tournament, but conference play is still a long way off, Rosen said.

Though many members have been newly recruited, a third of the team is comprised of seniors, allowing senior leaders to promote support and friendship on the team. Head Coach Nikki Franke, who has worked with the team for more than 40 years, believes this has been a strong season. Though the team had its ups and downs, Franke is proud of their close-knit family. Franke said some of the season highs include fencing every top team in the country, ranking number ten in the country, and accomplishing an overall team GPA of 3.4. Franke said losing leadership will be challenging, as many seniors graduate this year. However, she said the best part is still being able to carry the team philosophy through the experienced members and passing that down to the incoming players. It is about contributing to the team as opposed to what one player can get, Coach Franke said. Having that type of support from your teammates really helps motivate and sustain you when you are struggling. You know your team is behind you. There is somebody there to pick you up because that's what you're going to do also. The team members are proud of their season, as they reached new peaks and consistently met their usual accomplishments. For 18 years now we have won our conference championship, fourth-year player Jessica Hall said. Hall is the captain of the Epee squad. Each year we have teammates that qualify for nationals. The maximum is six, and we usually send about four. That's a proud accomplishment to represent the school, Hall said. This season, the team defeated Pennsylvania State University and Duke University. Some team members qualifyed as finalists at Temple Open, a foil and sabre tournament. 'It has been a pretty good season. We beat Penn State. We had not beat them since I have been at Temple, Hall said. The team utilizes each other's support and energy to remain motivated. 'With six seniors, we're graduating a lot of people. This is it. We put everything out there, said senior Demitria Antipas, Foil squad leader. Staying strong and working on a clean point is important in fencing, the players said. One can move really well in fencing, yet miss their opponent. We almost beat Colombia and they are the (top-ranked team] in the country. We know our fencing technique is good, and we keep working on that everyday, said Gloria Aguilar, second-year player and captain of Sabre squad. What we are working hard on is in keeping our energy up. If we lose, it is because the other team is better than us, not because we are tired, Aguilar said. Antipas said this season has brought a more close-knit team atmosphere than in her past three years on the team. Once you are on the strip you're not aware of what is going on outside, Aguilar said. When your team is really loud you grow aware that they are there for you. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, they have your back. With a strong schedule of practicing five days a week, working on quick footwork, conditioning, weightlifting, and ice bath treatments, the team prepares to only do better from here. WRITTEN BY MARYVIC PEREZ PHOTOGRAPHEO BY LIDA LECH MOVING ON UP FENCING TEAM FOCUSES ON HYPING IT UP AT THE END OF A SUCCESSFUL SEASON Sports DEFEATS PENN STATE The highly anticipated day had finally arrived: Temple's football team was about to face its biggest rival in the first game of the season. Fans, students, faculty and alumni gathered at Lincoln Financial Field on September 5, 2015 to witness a game that would soon make history. Temple students filled sections of the stadium donned in their cherry and white attire. In the sold-out game, Penn State Nittany Lions began with an early lead against Temple. It wasn't until the middle of the third quarter that the Owls tied the game. From there, the Owls continued to score against their longtime rivals. Now is a really special time for the future, said Cherry Crusade membership coordinator Dan Roper. Hopefully, we will get the attention, athletics-wise. While the victory was exhilarating for all Owls fans, it held a special meaning for members of the Cherry Crusade. Sam Forman, president of the Crusade, has been following Temple's athletics closely since he was a freshman. Now a senior, Forman is instrumental in orchestrating team spirit throughout the Crusade. Cherry Crusade is a student organization whose mission is to support Temple athletics and build school spirit through athletics, Forman said. We try to get people to show school spirit and go to the games. The game created many opportunities for the rest of the season, placing Temple in national rankings. Fans were very optimistic about the year's football season. I am looking forward to this team, the guys I have grown up with at Temple, getting better and achieving the national success that they deserve, Forman said. It is exciting because a lot of behind-the-scene things go behind this. We can be a part of an environment that is excited about the game. Late in the third quarter. Temple quarterback P.J. Walker scored a touchdown that put the Owls ahead of the Nittany Lions. The Owls sacked Penn State's quarterback, Christian Hackenburg, a total of 10 times, resulting in a final score of 27 to 10. For the first time since 1941, the Temple Owls reigned over their longtime rivals. It was a really special day for the university. Symbolically, it meant a lot for us, Forman said. This is about us, this is about Temple University. This is about our peers that play football excelling against so many odds. It wasn't about beating Penn State, it was about Temple winning. It was a special moment, he added. WRITTEN BY ALEXIS ROGERS PHOTOGRAPHED BY JENNY KERRIGAN It wasn’t about beating Penn Stat It was about Temple winning. Greeks and Organizations THE JAZZ ENSEMBLE Leading Through Rhyth When thinking of musical groups at Temple, a talented array comes to mind, including the university's Jazz Ensemble. The Boyer College of Music and Dance produces talented musicians in genres ranging from classical to hip-hop to jazz. The Jazz Ensemble consists of The Jazz Band, Lab Band and Jazz Band Number Three, each of which provide the community with musical stylings and its performers with a sense of professionalism. (Our) faculty is world-class so the things you can learn are endless, said Drew Gaunce, a bass player for the ensemble. They have all devoted their lives to studying this music, and are very enthusiastic about sharing their experiences with students and making sure students are learning the proper tools they need to excel. Being surrounded by so many unbelievably talented people all day long is very inspirational. Gaunce is proud of his position as bass player. As a bass player, my role in the Jazz Ensemble is to make everybody feel comfortable. I help supply the groove to the music so people can play whatever they feel, he said. The bass is the foundation of the band. Bass is one of the main reasons that people tap their foot and dance to music. The ensemble has brought entertainment not only to the campus and community, but also to its members. Playing and creating music collectively with others is a very fulfilling creative outlet, said Josh Lee, a saxaphone player for the ensemble. Music is teamwork and a way of communicating on a different level other than words. Perfecting music is long and hard work but the end result is very rewarding. Lee values his experiences in the ensemble. Music has allowed me to express myself in ways that words or writing cannot. Playing with others and actively being on the same wavelength is something that will always make me very happy, he said. Students can catch Jazz Ensemble performances at Temple's Performing Arts Center on Broad Street.

Alpha Xi Delta is a sorority founded on u j principles of sisterhood, leadership, knowledge and servit e to the community in 1893 at Lombard College in Galesbur , Illinois. 122 years later, Temple's chapter of the organization begai. Alpha Xi Delta president Meera Ruparelia was oire of the founding sisters of the sorority's chapter at Tempi;. She worked with other founding sisters to create a new sisterhood to work alongside the four existing PanHellen c sororities on campus. '! actually went through formal recruitment freshman ye r and realized at the time being in a sorority wasn't for me Ruparelia said. I've always been the person who wants o be a leader of an organization so being able to found a new sorority was very appealing. Alpha Xi Delta's main fundraising efforts benefit the organization Autism Speaks, which is the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization. The sisters of Alpha Xi Delta raise awareness and funds for Autism Speaks through planning events like bake sales and can shakes on campus, participating in walks at Citizens Bank Park and working with children in the area. We work mainly to advocate for research, Ruparelia saidP ■ We donate money that goes towards research as well. Sophomore sorority sister Abigail Pierce was in the first new member class initiated into Alpha Xi Delta in the fall of 2014, and said the experience was something she will always remember. “Being in the first new member class of Alpha Xi Delta was a very special feeling because we were making history,” Pierce said. Years from now we will know that we helped start our sorority, and not many other girls can say that.” Ruparelia also remembers how she felt during the initiation of the fall 2014 new member class. When the founding sisters were initiated into the chapter we were all really excited, mainly because we had put so much work in throughout the semester, Ruparelia said. We were also egcUecTwhejyh njg new member class was initiated because it was something that we got to do on our own and see it through. Both Ruparelia and Pierce agree that being in Alpha Xi Delta has made them well-rounded individuals. While Ruparelia was able to sharpen her leadership skills, Pierce said the organization helped her gain more focus and drive. 'The sorority has made me a better person, Pierce said. I don't know if I would be focusing on my grades and giving back as much if I wasn't a member of something that focuses on those ideals like my sorority does. As all of the PanHellenic sororities on Temple's campus prepare for formal recruitment in the spring. Alpha Xi Delta is eager to demonstrate their presence on campus as a diverse sisterhood. Since we are so new on campus, we don't have an image and I think that is really special, Ruparelia said. There is a place for everyone.

PHETE (Physical and Health Education Teacher Education) is determined to inform students about fitness and health education. Therefore, it is involved in many different events that help promote health to everyone, whether they are members or not. We go on adventure weekends together and teach kids hov.' ;o do different things, PHETE President Lisa Imburgia said. We have taught members how to rock climb and belay each other (fasten each other's ropes] to keep one another safe. PHETE has approximately seven to 10 members that work closely with the American Heart Association to create a fundraiser at Temple called Jump Rope for Heart (JRFH). Carl Keifer, member of the Pennsylvania State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, Inc. (PSAHPERD) decided to create the fundraiser and bring it to the university level after hosting it at various elementary schools for many years. PHI TE is excited to come to Temple, considering the school one of the most popular universities for physical education and health in Pennsylvania. Since its start in 1924, JRFH has been raising money to support people with and spread awareness about cardiovascular disease and stroke. I am very excited to be a part of this, said Laurie Givnish, PHETE treasurer and physical education major. I love fitness, and raising money for a good cause makes it more worthwhile. Teaching kids about keeping their heart healthy is very important to me — and doing it through exercise is rewarding. JRFH is an all-day event that goes from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Participants jump rope for as long as they can, raising more money the longer they jump. During the event, participants complete one hour of single jumps followed by one hour of double dutch. The cycle continues until 4 p.m., when there is an award ceremony for the three best jumpers. This fundraiser gives everyone who wants to be involved the opportunity to exercise in a fun way, while simultaneously learning how to keep their heart healthy. 'Everyone knows that they should exercise, but it is easy to slip into a type of laziness when the rest of life gets in the way, Imburgia said. This type of event will help remind everyone that detrimental things can happen to their body if they do not give it what it needs. We must raise awareness so that these diseases do not appear. PHETE's ultimate goal is to make sure that students stay educated about health during their time at Temple. It is important that we relay the information that we are taught, Givnish said. Temple does a great job of teaching us here at PHETE, so it is our job to spread this information and never let the learning die. You need heart to be a hero.

You acknowledge the catchiness of these student org names, but have no idea what they do. A cappella is a very unique style of music that involves only voices and no instruments. It can include imitating instruments and percussion, clapping, stomping, tapping or pretty much any type of noise that doesn't require an instrument. Temple is home to six a cappella groups, each one possessing its own style and flair. Owlcappella usually performs cool and calm indie music, whereas Singchronize does sassy and fun pop music. Each of the groups is also categorized. Broad Street Line is all male, Singchronize is all female. Low Key is a co-ed show choir, Owlcappella is co-ed, Jewkebox is affiliated with the Temple Jewish community and Pitch, Please is LGBTQ affiliated. The diversity in the TUAC community allows each a cappella group to bring something unique to the table. Members of TUAC groups don't just enjoy being able to express their artistry. They also cherish the relationships with their fellow singers. Jewkebox director Hannah Stevens is a junior at Temple majoring in music education and minoring in Spanish. She is passionate about Temple's a cappella community. My favorite thing about TUAC is the community we've created, Stevens said. It's always growing and changing, but we're always there for each other. A Cappella: A Singing Safe Haven On the first Thursday of every month, all the grou ps get together at the Alumni Circle to share performances. The atmosphere of these serenades is full of love from the TUAC groups. Senior education major Tresier Mihalik transferred to Temple in 2014 and immediately knew she wanted to get involved with a cappella. A cappella fosters the outlet to be creative and imaginative, said Mihalik, who auditioned and got accepted to Low Key in the fall of 2014. Low Key is like a second family to me. Many students in a cappella groups feel as though their group is a home where they can truly be themselves. When you join an a cappella group, you are instantly enveloped with support and have 20 plus new friends on your side, said Holleigh Christie, president of Jewkebox. I fell in love with 20 people in 20 different ways, and that love has changed everything about my Temple experience.

Membership to InMotion is contingent upon auditions. These auditions are two days long and require potential team members to showcase their dance abilities by memorizing routines and performing technical dance skills. “On the first day of auditions we learned one contemporary routine and one hip-hop routine, said sophomore team member Rachel Makar. If you get called back for the second day you perform the routines again, but they need to be perfected. We also learned a jazz combo on the second day. Makar wanted to continue her dance education at Temple because she is very passionate about it. I have been dancing for ten years, Makar said. I wanted to continue dancing, so I started looking at clubs and organizations available at Temple so I wouldn't lose the skills that I had. President of InMotion Elizabeth Tatti had been dancing for about 13 years before she came to Temple. Tatti, like many others on the team, did not want to give up on her passion. There are 27 girls on the dance team this year. For Tatti, choreographing dance routines for the entire team comes with some challenges. There are a lot of girls and we all get along really, well so sometimes it's a struggle to get everyone quiet and ready to go, but once we do it's awesome, said Tatti, who first made the team as a freshman and has been a devoted member ever since. Tatti said InMotion attends dance competitions occasionally, but tries to stick to smaller performances because of the time commitment that larger competitions would require. Since we are only a club team at Temple, many of our girls have busy schedules already without the added practices that more competitions would require, Tatti said. For Makar, a second year member of the team, InMotion has been an enjoyable experience because of the love and support the team gives one another. The team is so fun to hang out with, Makar said. We do bonding events and hang out, and we always have such a great time together.

The senior biology and Spanish double major has used her education from Temple to create a positive force in Philadelphia's Latino community. Through her work with Temple's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and Temple University Hospital, Steinberg has been able to utilize the Spanish language to better understand the health issues being faced by local Latinos. She has since dedicated herself to improving the health of Latinos. Steinberg's affiliation with Temple's Science Scholars Program led to her involvement with DPP. ’It just worked out perfectly, she said. DPP recruits Latina patients in Philadelphia medical clinics to participate in pre-diabetic screenings. Steinberg said the women are told about the risks and then asked if they desire to partake in the study. In May 2014, Steinberg went to work in a medical clinic in Lima, Peru. While there, she learned that language dialect reflects the culture of a country. Steinberg noted that the culture of Peru, for example, was very polite. Peruvians tend to speak with the proper form of the pronoun 'you,' Steinberg said. It is just a small detail in the cultural and linguistic variety that exists throughout Latin America. No two cultures are the same just because they have the same language. Assistant Professor of Temple's Spanish and Portuguese Department Patricia Moore-Martinez introduced Steinberg to a variety of Latino community organizations upon her return to Philadelphia. Moore-Martinez has visitors from some of these non-profit organizations. In addition to her other ventures, Steinberg has also volunteered at Puentes de Salud Clinic, a non profit organization that provides medical services to the Latino community in South Philadelphia. The participants are placed into three different groups. Steinberg's focus was the lifestyle intervention group. In this group, the women are closely monitored in their diet and exercise routines. Through the study, Steinberg found that lifestyle intervention was a more successful option compared to the use of medical drugs to prevent diabetes. Steinberg also used her time working on bilingual floors at Temple University Hospital to understand the cultural barriers facing Latinos. By talking to the patients about their experiences in Spanish, she witnessed firsthand the difficulties that both the patients and their non-Spanish speaking health providers had communicating with one another. One of the many goals is to understand people, not abstract concepts, Moore-Martinez said. When important decisions are being made, we must be conscious that they are affecting individual human beings. While language may be a barrier for some, Steinberg believes it remains a solid device for helping others and being able to view the world through a new set of eyes. She feels the results of her work almost every day and prepares to use what she has learned to attend medical school. Spanish made me who I am, Steinberg said. It has led the way to new experiences as well as new perspectives. WRITTEN BY AMANDA M.

Haley has been dancing since she was in second grade, participating in both Irish dance and dancing for a ballet company while in high school. Following her high school graduation, Haley was well prepared to take the reins of the Temple Irish Dance Team. My schedule is difficult, I work and my classes are heavy. I have to do extra field trips outside of my class time due to my major, but it's been really rewarding, said Haley, who now leads the team of 12 to 16 students as the dance education chair. I've been working really hard since freshman year to make this a bigger group. It's turned into something I'm proud of. A performance group usually includes 12 regular members, Haley said, but she has goals to expand the Temple Irish Dance Team by creating a strong foundation to help them gain more members after she graduates. It's not easy being a small group, but it's worth it. Culturally it's important to me because I am half Irish and half Italian, Haley said. It's a really important social culture and some of our dancers aren't a lick of Irish. It's for the young and it's for the old. You meet a lot of different people in Philly. It's amazing. The team participates in dance competitions called Feis, which were historically held as festivals in Ancient Ireland, where traditional Irish dancing used to take place. It has competed and performed at Villanova University, Temple University's HootaThon fundraiser, the Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Red Lounge fundraiser for HIV AIDS victims. The team has placed in competitions for best treble tapper and four-hand reel. Team president Audrey Rankin handles the administrative tasks for the performances on and off campus. Eilish is a fantastic dancer, with tons of dance experience, Rankin said. She helps a lot with technique and makes sure everyone is on the same page. As the dance education coordinator, she has been incredibly helpful for the club. Quinn Heath, a member who started as a freshman, has been involved with the team for about a year and a half. Eilish is a good teacher and probably one of our best dancers, Heath said. The great part about the organization is that anyone can join. Even if you think you can't dance, you should still try it because we have great people who can teach you dance. Haley said that her experience studying abroad in Spain her junior year gave her the confidence to lead the team to more success. In addition to her goal of becoming a museum curator, she also aspires to become a certified Irish dance teacher and one day own her own dance studio. If you have something small to start with, don't be afraid or nervous, Haley said. Take the chance and stick with it.

These people are Sodexo employees, who sometimes serve as nutritional lifelines at Temple, whether during fourth meal at J H, or when we want to get a quick smoothie. Take Walter Gordon, for instance, otherwise known as Walt. He works in the J H dining hall. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Gordon is a cook at J H and has been working at Sodexo for 21 years. Gordon is responsible for breakfast, which he calls the morning show, and the pasta station for lunch. He is usually mixing pesto and broccoli to create the perfect topping for a student's pasta of choice. Besides making pasta and conducting the morning show, Gordon said that he tries to give everyone a beaming smile when they walk into J H. I went to a culinary program here at Temple and they picked me up from there, Gordon said. South Jersey native and Executive Chef Sam Knox has been working for Sodexo at Temple for 16 years, but he doesn't associate this longevity with humdrum monotony. Instead, he happily describes a typical day of working as fun, fun, fun. I come in, show my employees how to do stuff, put the meals out and deal with the students, Knox said. Knox said that his motivation stems from just loving what he does. Though he enjoys working as executive chef, he said that his dream job would be similar to the Food Network series Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, where the hosts drive around the country tasting a plethora of foods. On the other hand, Sous Chef Ron Ettorre from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, aspires to become an executive chef one day. He has been working at Temple's Sodexo for a year and primarily cooks in the Student Center cafeteria. Ettorre said he works 10-hour shifts that include a lot of cooking, ordering, supervising, inventory and cleaning. Pretty much here, it's for the service of the students, Ettorre said. Ettorre said he hopes his experience working at Sodexo will ultimately help him manage multiple units when he is an executive chef. He emphasized the role students play in motivating him to provide the best service and keep going throughout the day. Next time you are in Morgan Hall, J H or the Student Center, make sure to thank Sodexo employees for swiping us in and cooking our breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the eyes of Ettorre, Knox and Gordon, we are the ones that ultimately keep Sodexo employees going through their workdays.

The program, provided through the College of Liberal Arts, serves to promote social change through transformative education in correctional facilities. Although Temple's program primarily engages with prisons in Philadelphia, Temple alum and program associate Frank Campanell said Inside-Out Prison Exchange continues to spread nationally to states like Oregon, and even internationally, such as in the United Kingdom. 'Wedehumanize people in this world, Campanell said. When you humanize people you really make a transformation. After beginning an undergraduate career at Temple in 2003, Campanell became interested in criminal justice when he took a class taught by Lori Pompa, the current director of the Inside-Out Exchange program. I had a class with Lori Pompa called Prisons in America. Campanell said. I was encouraged to participate in a learning process that I never had before. After taking the class, Campanell switched his major from biochemistry to criminal justice. In 2009, following his graduation, Campanell was brought onto the program's staff by Pompa. He is now involved in almost every aspect of the infrastructure. 'The instructor is the facilitator, Campanell said, But we all work to break down the hierarchy and dynamics of being in prison in order to have a real dialogue with the prisoners. We've never had an issue of violence because the model humanizes everyone. Campanell said the active facilitation model works because it provides quality assurance and control for both parties involved. He said this is essential in giving prisoners and students an environment where they can have real discussions about topics such as race, sexual orientation and the realities of the criminal justice system. We live in a politically correct culture where we don't have real conversations about these very real issues,” Campanell said. One of the crucial components is language. We don't use labels like felon or prisoner because language is completely powerful. Kristine Polizzano, a Temple alum who recently graduated in 2015, took the Inside-Out Prison Exchange class when she was a senior. Polizzano was initially just a psychology major, but took on a criminal justice minor when her psychology professor. Dr. Laurence Steinberg, had his class research the juvenile prison system in America. Polizzano's passion for criminal justice led her to work with the Inside-Out Exchange program's staff, including Campanell, after graduation. When interacting with the prisoners, Polizzano said she incorporates skills she learned from working at Temple's Campus Recreation and her overall love of fitness. 'Campus Recreation definitely taught me how to function in a group by being a group fitness instructor, Polizzano said. 'In the world of fitness you have to use your communication skills to accomplish what you want. Polizzano said she has plans to help prison re-entries use fitness to help them stay out of prison. She is also a member of the Philadelphia Reentry Coalition. 'In personal training, I am exposed to different races and genders, which has definitely gotten my feet wet by working with different populations, Polizzano said. You never really get to immerse yourself in criminal justice until you experience it yourself.

Swift graduated from Temple in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts in communications, but wanted to pursue journalism. 'My purpose was to become well versed and knowledgeable in my field, Swift said. This was her first step toward making changes in the lives of others. Swift used various journalistic platforms at Temple to capture and express the voices of those who felt powerless. She served as president of Her Campus Temple, an online magazine for college women. In the spring of 2013, Swift used her position on Her Campus to host a social awareness event pertinent to college students. Through Her Campus and the iChoose2live campaign. Swift organized Peace in the City: A Non-Violence and Suicide Prevention Theatre and Music Fest program, held in Temple's Performing Arts Center. For Swift, this was more than just an event. She wanted to relay the idea that something greater was happening, and that life was a gift to enjoy. The event, which was attended by Mayor Michael Nutter and sponsored by a number of on and off-campus organizations, promoted suicide awareness and non-violence. Swift's activities at Temple inspired her to obtain a position serving as the communications and youth advocacy officer for Together for Girls. The organization is a global public-private partnership with a mission to end sexual violence against girls around the world. Swift is especially grateful for Dr. Scott Gratson, the director of undergraduate studies in the School of Media and Communication and the director of the Interdisciplinary Communications program. The two coordinated a one-on-one independent study. She had such an energy and a positive spirit, Dr. Gratson said. We both shared a mission for advocacy. Gratson spoke of the close faculty-to-student connection in the School of Media and Communication. He finds this connection to be vital for the growth of the student and study focus. Temple laid the foundation for me to become who I am, said Swift, who is currently pursuing a Master's degree in political science with a focus in international relations at Howard University. She acknowledged hard work and hustle were necessary in order to achieve her goals. Upon graduation. Swift was inspired by her growth and all of the possibilities that were waiting. Her mission was to go beyond her work at Temple and give a voice to women and girls subdued by oppression and injustice. WRITTEN BY AMANDA M.

Rolen began making a name for herself among Temple journalists in her freshman year at Temple by covering stories, relentlessly gathering sources and serving as a news source for her peers for The Temple News (TTN). Now a junior, Rolen has come a long way from just covering stories — she is currently the editor-in-chief of TTN, a publication that serves over 40,000 Temple students, staff and people living in the North Philadelphia community. As a freshman, Rolen was immediately determined to become involved with TTN and wasn't timid about pursuing her goals. She continually reached out to editors in hopes of being assigned a story. Rolen's first story for TTN covered a football game for the multimedia section. She eventually began to write features covering the Lunchies segment in the Lifestyle section. I love writing features, it's like my roots, Rolen said. Soon, Rolen pursued more controversial topics for her articles such as gentrification in North Philadelphia. Her article on the subject won her an Honorable Mention from the Keystone Press. She then landed her first beat as a theater reporter for the Arts Entertainment section of TTN. It really gave me a different perspective on what it means to be a journalist in an urban community, Rolen said. In her sophomore year, she became the editor for the Arts Entertainment section. Her responsibilities included assigning beats, curating stories for the section, working with over a dozen writers and producing enterprise works. We always joke that class is a hobby and TTN is actually a job, Rolen said. There's a lot more that goes into a newspaper than what you see on the page. Victoria Mier, this year's Arts Entertainment editor at TTN, wrote under Rolen when she was the editor. Mier is grateful for Rolen for helping her to see the fine line between magazine and newspaper writing. I remember the very first story I ever wrote for her. She sent it back and said, 'It's for a newspaper but write how you write, have fun,' Mier said. As an art writer, she made my writing great and still allowed for my voice to shine through. At TTN we're like a big weird family and Emily is definitely a part of that family. This year's TTN Lifestyle editor, Albert Hong, has worked with Rolen since 2013 and noticed early on that she was an encouraging voice in the newsroom. In 2014, he worked as assistant A E editor and worked closely with Rolen so that he was able to learn from her. She's very enthusiastic about picking up stories and has a bit of a bubbly spirit. Everything I know now is because of that experience, Hong said. Emily being editor-in-chief now is definitely inspiring. Recognizing writers' talents and shaping them to become better journalists has helped me meet my best friends and forge great relationships, Rolen said. Reading their work has also helped me to better question Temple University affairs and become more aware of community interests. Rolen is also considers herself a human rights advocate. I want to travel to Beijing to work on human rights projects, she said. For now, though, Rolen is focusing on TTN. We are a watchdog for the Temple community, Rolen said. My dad has always told me that you don't have to be the most talented person to be successful, you just have to be the most hardworking.

Morgen Snowadzky Very Necessary Activism When senior Morgen Snowadzky first came to Temple in 2012, she did not expect to encounter such a large queer community. As a women's studies major, Snowadzky has always been interested in the study of sexuality and gender, but did not become involved with any organizations relating to sexuality and gender until her second semester at Temple. 'If someone would have asked me back then what I would have been doing now, I couldn't have told them, Snowadzky said. By her second semester, Snowadzky realized that she wanted to be a sex educator — focusing on topics of sexuality and gender from a feminist perspective. She became a HEART peer educator at Temple's HEART Wellness Resource Center, where she planned and conducted workshops and presentations to raise awareness about health issues affecting college students every day. Snowadzky led Alcohol 101, a HEART class that teaches alcohol safety tips. She also organized Clothesline, an annual event that brings awareness to sexual assault on campus, and has spearheaded the Queer Lunch program, which allows students, faculty and staff to discuss LGBTQIA topics on a monthly basis. Snowadzky's time as a peer educator has also heightened her awareness of LGBTQIA safe spaces and issues at Temple. 'I was like, 'wow, all of these people really exist here,' Snowadzky said. I never even went to a Queer Student Union meeting, and I've met a lot of people in this underground queer network who aren't necessarily a part of an LGBTQIA organization. Through HEART, Snowadzky saw a need for LGBTQIA programming for students at Temple. She became inspired to develop safe space events such as the Queer Luncheon and OuTU, an event that debuted this fall semester at Temple's Welcome Knowing that people who support LGBTQIA or are affiliated with LGBTQIA can be found at places such as Student Health or Tuttleman Counseling is very important, Snowadzky said. I also thought there needed to be something more than just National Coming Out Week, because if we don't do any other programs, that's really leaving people out to dry. Snowadzky worked with two fellow HEART peer educators to organize OuTU the summer before her senior year. OuTU hosted an LGBTQIA event at Welcome Week, which featured ice breakers facilitated by event volunteers and guest speakers. Students received an LGBTQIA support guide and were able to sign in using their preferred pronouns. It went from us wanting an event like this to exist to us making it exist, Snowadzky said. Students were able to get to know each other in a cross-campus collaboration, and we got overwhelming support from athletic groups, spiritual groups, art groups and people who do not necessarily identify with being LGBTQIA, but are still on our team. Senior public health major John Valkovec worked with Snowadzky on the event. OuTU was very important to me and I was proud of the overwhelming success the event achieved, Valkovec said. Morgen is an incredibly inspiring person to be around and it was a pleasure to work with her for OuTU, Valkovec said. I have been working with her for about a year now and I am impressed by her leadership abilities as a peer educator and touched by her compassion for others. Snowadzky's work does not stop with OuTU. Settling for just having one organization on campus isn't good enough, whether it's for feminism, LGBTQIA support or anything else, Snowadzky said. The work we do needs to continue on a wider, more inclusionary level.

Events such as PINKAPALOOZA, a VS PINK in-store shopping event, and a PINK Spring Break Party have been hosted by the Temple PINK reps in the past year. Through creative advertising, Casella plans and carries out large events like these to increase PINK'S merchandise sales. Temple is a magnet for students, as well as businesses that want to expand their customer base, Casella said. Casella said Joseph Glennon, an assistant professor in the Department of Advertising in the School of Media and Communication, helped nurture her creativity as a PINK representative. Casella said she enjoys his personal advice and academic insight. Glennon said Casella has grown intellectually throughout the years he taught her. As a sophomore she was eager and curious. Now, she exhibits a level of experienced knowledge. Glennon said. According to Glennon, a few years ago Casella asked many questions. Now, two years later, she is well-versed in her field. He asks her opinion on matters sort of like the roles had reversed, he said. I know all of my professors, Casella said. The family environment lets students within the School of Media and Communication develop from young, curious freshmen to articulate and creative Temple Made students. Casella acquired various internships in social media marketing, media operations and branding throughout her time at Temple. In the summer of 2014, she was a recipient of Keds and Seventeen Magazine's Brave Life Grant. She was also awarded the second place of honor for the American Advertising Federation's Pizza Hut Campaign, District 2 in the spring of 2015. In addition to her duties as a PINK representative, Casella is also an Owl Team Leader. She said she enjoys meeting prospective freshmen and showing them the opportunities available to them at Temple. Casella said student diversity is a source of creativity both on campus and in the city of Philadelphia. Temple is such a big, diverse campus, Casella said. It always has an impact.

Unite. Build. Temple Student Government's slogan embodies the spirit behind its members who represent Temple's student body every day. As the university's rankings rise, Student Body President Ryan Rinaldi said TSG's role in the university is now more important than ever. This has been a historic year, Rinaldi said. Our football team's victory over Penn State and our academics and research rankings are nationally recognized and ranked. During his term as student body president, Rinaldi has advocated for approximately 40,000 students while managing budgets and distributions for over 300 student organizations. He said one of his biggest accomplishments has been hosting executive leadership teams with other Big 5 universities — which include the University of Pennsylvania, La Salle University, Villanova University and Saint Joseph's University — on campus. Vice President Brittany Boston, a senior journalism major in the School of Media and Communication, has focused her term on encouraging students to get involved in campus life. Boston held a weekly general assembly where all students were welcome to express their concerns and opinions to TSG members. We are the voice of the students, Boston said. My personal goal is to make sure students know about their resources. Boston said Owl Buddies, a project that works to aid students with intellectual disabilities, is one of her favorite resources for students. She said Owl Buddies has encouraged these students to successfully participate in organizations and other aspects of student life. Diversity is stressed here, Boston said. With such a diverse student body, student government strives to nurture an inclusive environment. Boston said social media helps TSG members cater to the needs of the student body, allowing students to voice concerns through tweets and Facebook posts. Getting constructive feedback is necessary, Boston said. As the liaison between administrators and students, compromise is vital. As an organization we work to find solutions that upholds the needs of both sides. Once a concern is brought to attention, Boston said the senior leadership team discusses whether the issue can be resolved or not. When the decision is made, Boston said TSG holds meetings with Temple administration to see what actions and solutions are attainable. We do whatever we can to make the Temple experience the best, Boston said. There are issues to address, but Temple's Student Government is sure to listen to the concerns of students and set reasonable expectations on both sides. WRITTEN BY AMANDA M.

Standing at five and a half feet tall, the furry owl spends his days spreading school spirit throughout campus. Although Hooter cannot talk, communicating with him isn't too difficult. His best friend, Matt Martino, transcribes everything he says. Often seen traversing campus on his famous scooter. Hooter flies and makes friends with students and faculty members every day. Hooter is technically a student at Temple, but he does not take any classes. He is a forever Temple student, and said he's just doing his thing on campus. Hooter's favorite part of being on campus is the school spirit that he gets to spread. Not only does he enjoy sharing his love of Temple by interacting with students, he also appreciates its diversity. He recognizes that each student has a story to tell. Walking down campus isn't possible without giving everyone a high-five, Hooter said. Hooter was born and raised right here at Temple. He's been around for decades and has lived on campus his whole life. He lives in a secret nest in an unknown location on campus. Hooter attends all home football games and most other athletic events, including some away games. Temple's successful 2015 football season increased Hooter's popularity. As opposed to the one or two appearances he used to make a week, he now makes six or seven — he's an owl in high demand. He's given out more Temple gear this year than ever, and hangs out in the Student Center more often. Hooter said he knows a lot of the rival mascots, and one of his most popular frenemy relationships is with St. Joseph University's Hawk. There was a famous fight about 15 years ago between Hooter and The Hawk. It got pretty bad. Although they remain school rivals, their relationship has since improved. Hooter treats a few lucky students to coffee or lunch each week. He regularly uses his special Hooter ID card loaded with Diamond Dollars to buy meals for students who show amazing school spirit. Everyone knows Hooter as being outrageously outgoing, spirited and a great friend to Temple students. Those students who have had the pleasure of meeting Hooter during their time at Temple have no complaints about the mascot — he is the prime example of what it means to be a proud Temple Owl.

Shaw, a communications and theater major, began writing rap lyrics when he was in eighth grade. The same year, he began listening to Eminem, who he considers his inspiration. Early in his undergraduate career, Shaw's ultimate goal was to become an actor. Now, his greatest aspiration is to become a rapper, and he's putting great effort into achieving it. I like making music because it can be both relatable and entertaining to an audience, Shaw said. Shaw is part of More Than Music DJ Institute based in Philadelphia, which helps support artistic ventures of graphic designers, actors, producers and musicians. The members collaborate and work on artistic projects, but overall, Shaw considers himself a solo act. Currently, Shaw has released two mixtapes titled Us and Girls. He performs at parties, showcases and rap battles in order to prepare himself for a professional career. In five years, Shaw sees himself touring various cities with his music. Shaw said he is confident that his fan base will grow significantly by then, and that he wants to achieve success for his fans. The messages in Shaw's music center mostly on relationships and other universal topics. He says he does not want just one particular audience. I just want people to listen to the message, Shaw said. Finance major Michael Berg considers himself an acoustic and rap artist. Berg also discovered his love for music when he was in the eighth grade — the year he received his first guitar. Berg said his lyrics are centered mainly on college and girls. Unlike Shaw, Berg suspects he'll find his rap aspirations juvenile to him when he's older. want to have a plan (for a career], Berg said. Eventually the rap will fade away. Berg plans to pursue a career in investment banking, but sees himself continuing to perform acoustic melodies. It's mainly a hobby, Berg said, but I enjoy creating and recording music because it allows me to have fun on the side. WRITTEN BY AMANDA M.

HE AWOKE THAT PRIEST OUT OF HIS DREAMS AND SAID TO HIM, ‘WILL YOU TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND DIAMONDS? THE PRIEST SAID. DIAMONDS? WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH DIAMONDS? 'I WANT TO BE IMMENSELY RICH. SAID AL HAFED. 'BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. ‘WELL. SAID THE PRIEST. “IF YOU WILL FIND A RIVER THAT RUNS OVER WHITE SAND BETWEEN HIGH MOUNTAINS. IN THOSE SANDS YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE DIAMONDS. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SUCH A RIVER? ‘PLENTY OF THEM. PLENTY OF THEM; ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST GO AND FIND THEM. THEN YOU HAVE THEM. AL HAFED SAID. I WILL GO. SO HE SOLD HIS FARM, COLLECTED HIS MONEY AT INTEREST. LEFT HIS FAMILY IN CHARGE OF A NEIGHBOR. AND AWAY HE WENT IN SEARCH OF DIAMONDS A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT. THIS SAME OLD PRIEST WHO TOLD AL HAFED HOW DIAMONDS WERE MADE. CAME IN TO VISIT HIS SUCCESSOR. WHEN HE SAW THAT FLASH OF LIGHT FROM THE MANTEL. HE RUSHED UP AND SAID. HERE IS A DIAMOND— HERE IS A DIAMOND! HAS AL HAFED RETURNED? 'NO. NO; AL HAFED HAS NOT RETURNED AND THAT IS NOT A DIAMOND; THAT IS NOTHING BUT A STONE; WE FOUND IT RIGHT OUT HERE IN OUR GARDEN. BUT I KNOW A DIAMOND WHEN I SEE IT. SAID HE; THAT IS A DIAMOND! TELL HIM I COULD SE_ IT FARM FQR E,GHT HUNDRED I TOLD HIM HIS S T 0 R Y AND THIRTY-THREE DOLLARS— REMINDED ME OF ONE. AND I EVEN MONEY, ’NO CENTS. HE TOLD IT TO HIM QUICK. I TOLD HAD SCARCELY GONE FROM HIM ABOUT THAT MAN OUT THAT FARM BEFORE THE MAN IN CALIFORNIA. WHO. IN 1847. WHO PURCHASED IT WENT OUT OWNED A RANCH OUT THERE. TO ARRANGE FOR WATERING HE READ THAT GOLD HAD BEEN THE CATTLE AND HE FOUND DISCOVERED IN SOUTHERN THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER CALIFORNIA. AND HE SOLD HIS HAD ARRANGED THE MATTER RANCH TO COLONEL SUTTER VERY NICELY. THERE IS A AND STARTED OFF TO HUNT FOR STREAM RUNNING DOWN THE GOLD. COLONEL SUTTER PUT A HILLSIDE THERE. AND THE MILL ON THE LITTLE STREAM IN PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GONE THAT FARM AND ONE DAY HIS OUT AND PUT A PLANK ACROSS LITTLE GIRL BROUGHT SOME THAT STREAM AT AN ANGLE. WET SAND FROM THE RACEWAY EXTENDING ACROSS THE BROOK OF THE MILL INTO THE HOUSE AND DOWN EDGEWISE A FEW AND PLACED IT BEFORE THE FIRE INCHES UNDER THE SURFACE TO DRY. AND AS THAT SAND WAS OF THE WATER. THE PURPOSE FALLING THROUGH THE LITTLE OF THE PLANK ACROSS THAT GIRL'S FINGERS A VISITOR SAW BROOK WAS TO THROW OVER TO THE FIRST SHINING SCALES OF THE OTHER BANK A DREADFUL-REAL GOLD THAT WERE EVER LOOKING SCUM THROUGH DISCOVERED IN CALIFORNIA; WHICH THE CATTLE WOULD NOT AND THE MAN WHO WANTED THE PUT THEIR NOSES TO DRINK GOLD HAD SOLD HIS RANCH AND ABOVE THE PUNK. ALTHOUGH GONE AWAY. NEVER TO RETURN. THEY WOULD DRINK THE WATER ON ONE SIDE BELOW IT.

FIRE AND THEN ON HE BEGAN VERY PROPERLY. TO MY MIND. AT THE MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON. AFTERWARDS HE WENT AROUND INTO PALESTINE. THEN WANDERED ON INTO EUROPE. AND AT UST, WHEN HIS MONEY WAS ALL SPENT, AND HE WAS IN RAGS, WRETCHEDNESS AND POVERTY. HE STOOD ON THE SHORE OF THAT BAY IN BARCELONA. SPAIN WHEN A TIDAL WAVE THEN TOGETHER THEY RUSHED TO THE GARDEN AND STIRRED UP THE WHITE SANDS WITH THEIR FINGERS AND FOUND OTHERS MORE BEAUTIFUL. MORE VALUA8LE DIAMONDS THAN THE FIRST. AND THUS. SAID THE GUIDE TO ME. WERE DISCOVERED THE DIAMOND MINES OF GOLCONDA. THE MOST MAGNIFICENT DIAMOND MINES IN ALL THE HISTORY OF MANKIND. EXCEEDING THE KIMBERLEY IN ITS VALUE. THE GREAT KOHINOOR DIAMOND IN ENGLAND'S CROWN JEWELS AND THE LARGEST CROWN DIAMOND ON EARTH IN RUSSIA'S CROWN JEWELS. WHICH I HAD OFTEN HOPED SHE WOULD HAVE TO SELL BEFORE THEY HAD PEACE WITH JAPAN, CAME FROM THAT MINE. AND WHEN THE OLD GUIDE HAD CALLED MY ATTENTION TO THAT WONDERFUL DISCOVERY HE TOOK HIS TURKISH CAP OFF HIS HEAD AGAIN AND SWUNG IT AROUND IN THE AIR TO CALL I DELIVERED THIS LECTURE TWO YEARS AGO IN CALIFORNIA. IN THUS THAT MAN WHO HAD THE CITY THAT STANDS NEAR GONE TO CANADA HAD BEEN THAT FARM. AND THEY TOLD HIMSELF DAMMING 8ACK FOR ME THAT THE MINE IS NOT TWENTY-THREE YEARS A FLOW EXHAUSTED YET. AND THAT A OF COAL OIL WHICH THE STATE ONE-THIRD OWNER OF THAT GEOLOGIST OF PENNSYLVANIA FARM HAS BEEN GETTING DECLARED OFFICIALLY, AS EARLY DURING THESE RECENT YEARS AS 1870. WAS THEN WORTH TWENTY DOLLARS OF GOLD TO OUR STATE A HUNDRED EVERY FIFTEEN MINUTES OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THE HIS LIFE. SLEEPING OR WAKING. CITY OF TITUSVILLE NOW WHY. YOU ANO I WOULD STANDS ON THAT FARM AND ENJOY AN INCOME LIKE THAT! THOSE PLEASANTVILLE WELLS FLOW ON, AND THAT FARMER THAT IHAV NoToF mS WH° HAD STUDIED ALL ABOUT J, HAVA T. ‘I1' .

BECAUSE THAT CANADA. THEY FIRST DISCOVERED IS MY OLD STATE. THIS YOUNG COAL OIL THERE. SO THIS MAN I MENTION WENT OUT OF FARMER IN PENNSYLVANIA THE STATE TO STUDY—WENT DECIDED THAT HE WOULD APPLY DOWN TO YALE COLLEGE AND FOR A POSITION WITH HIS COUSIN STUDIED MINES AND MINING.

DO YOU KNOW THAT MAN CON WELL THAT LIVES IN PHILADELPHIA? “OH. YES. I HAVE HEARD OF HIM. 'AND DO YOU KNOW THAT MAN JONES THAT LIVES IN THAT CITY? YES. I HAVE HEARD OF HIM. AND THEN HE BEGINS TO LAUGH AND LAUGH AND SAYS TO HIS FRIENDS. THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME THING I DID. PRECISELY. AND THAT SPOILS THE WHOLE JOKE. BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE DONE IT NINETY OUT OF EVERY HUNDRED PEOPLE HERE HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE THIS VERY DAY. I SAY YOU OUGHT TO BE RICH; YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE POOR. TO LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA AND NOT 8E RICH IS A MISFORTUNE. AND IT IS DOUBLY A MISFORTUNE. BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE 8EEN RICH JUST AS WELL AS BE POOR. PHILADELPHIA FURNISHES SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES. YOU OUGHT TO BE RICH. BUT PERSONS WITH CERTAIN RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE WILL ASK. HOW CAN YOU SPEND YOUR TIME ADVISING THE RISING GENERATION TO GIVE THEIR TIME TO GETTING MONEY— DOLLARS AND CENTS— THE COMMERCIAL SPIRIT? YET I MUST SAY THAT YOU OUGHT TO SPEND TIME GETTING RICH. YOU AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME THINGS MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY; OF COURSE. WE DO. AH, YES! BY A HEART MADE UNSPEAKABLY SAD BY A GRAVE ON WHICH THE AUTUMN LEAVES NOW FALL. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME THINGS HIGHER AND GRANDER AND SUBLIMER THAN MONEY. WELL DOES THE MAN KNOW. WHO HAS SUFFERED. THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS SWEETER AND HOLIER AND MORE SACRED THAN GOLD. NEVERTHELESS. THE MAN OF COMMON SENSE ALSO KNOWS THAT THERE IS NOT ANY ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS NOT GREATLY ENHANCED BY THE USE OF MONEY. MONEY IS POWER. LOVE IS THE GRANDEST THING ON GOD’S EARTH. BUT FORTUNATE THE LOVER WHO HAS PLENTY OF MONEY. MONEY IS POWER: MONEY HAS POWERS: AND FOR A MAN TO SAY, 'I DO NOT WANT MONEY. IS TO SAY. “I DO NOT WISH TO DO ANY GOOD TO MY FELLOWMEN.' IT IS ABSURD THUS TO TALK. IT IS ABSURD TO DISCONNECT THEM THIS IS A WONDERFULLY GREAT LIFE. AND YOU OUGHT TO SPEND YOUR TIME GETTING MONEY. BECAUSE OF THE POWER THERE IS IN MONEY. AND YET THIS RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE IS SO GREAT THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO BE ONE OF GOD’S POOR. I AM LOOKING IN THE FACES OF PEOPLE WHO THINK JUST THAT WAY. I HEARD A MAN ONCE SAY IN A PRAYER-MEETING THAT HE WAS THANKFUL THAT HE WAS ONE OF GOD’S POOR. AND THEN I SILENTLY WONDERED WHAT HIS WIFE WOULD SAY TO THAT SPEECH. AS SHE TOOK IN WASHING TO SUPPORT THE MAN WHILE HE SAT AND SMOKED ON THE VERANDA. I DON’T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE OF THAT KIND OF GOD’S POOR DONE SOME GREAT WRONG; HE HAS BEEN UNTRUTHFUL TO HIMSELF; HE HAS 8EEN UNKIND TO HIS FELLOWMEN. WE OUGHT TO GET RICH IF WE CAN BY HONORABLE AND CHRISTIAN METHODS, AND THESE ARE THE ONLY METHODS THAT SWEEP US QUICKLY TOWARD THE GOAL OF RICHES YET. MY FRIEND. PEOPLE SAY YOU AND i SHOULD NOT SPEND THE TIME GETTING RICH. HOW INCONSISTENT THE WHOLE THING IS. WE OUGHT TO BE RICH. BECAUSE MONEY HAS POWER. THAT YOU OUGHT TO BE RICH. I REMEMBER. NOT MANY YEARS AGO, A YOUNG THEOLOGICAL STUDENT WHO CAME INTO MY OFFICE AND SAID TO ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS DUTY TO COME IN AND 'LABOR WITH ME.' I ASKED HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AND HE SAID: I FEEL IT IS MY DUTY TO COME IN AND SPEAK TO YOU. SIR. AND SAY THAT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES DECLARE THAT MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. I ASKED HIM WHERE HE FOUND THAT SAYING. AND HE SAID HE FOUND IT IN THE BIBLE. I ASKED HIM WHETHER HE HAD MADE A NEW 8IBLE, AND HE SAID, NO. HE HAD NOT GOTTEN A NEW BIBLE. THAT IT WAS IN THE OLD BIBLE. 'WELL, I SAID. 'IF IT IS IN MY BIBLE. I NEVER SAW IT. WILL YOU PLEASE GET THE TEXTBOOK AND LET ME SEE IT? I THINK THE BEST THING FOR ME TO DO IS TO ILLUSTRATE THIS. FOR IF I SAY YOU OUGHT TO GET RICH. I OUGHT, AT LEAST. TO SUGGEST HOW IT IS DONE. WE GET A PREJUDICE AGAINST RICH MEN BECAUSE OF THE LIES THAT ARE TOLD ABOUT THEM THE UES THAT ARE TOLD ABOUT MR. ROCKEFELLER BECAUSE HE HAS TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS—SO MANY BELIEVE THEM; YET HOW FALSE IS THE REPRESENTATION OF THAT MAN TO THE WORLD. HOW LITTLE WE CAN TELL WHAT IS TRUE NOWADAYS WHEN NEWSPAPERS TRY TO SELL THEIR PAPERS ENTIRELY ON SOME SENSATION! THE WAY THEY LIE ABOUT THE RICH MEN IS SOMETHING TERRIBLE. AND I DO NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS ANYTHING TO ILLUSTRATE THIS BETTER THAN WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS NOW SAY ABOUT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. HE LEFT THE ROOM AND SOON CAME STALKING IN WITH HIS BIBLE OPEN. WITH ALL THE BIGOTED PRIDE OF THE NARROW SECTARIAN. WHO FOUNDS HIS CREED ON SOME MISINTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE. AND HE PUTS THE BIBLE DOWN ON THE TABLE BEFORE ME AND FAIRLY SQUEALED INTO MY EAR. ■THERE IT IS. YOU CAN READ IT FOR YOURSELF. I SAID TO HIM. YOUNG MAN. YOU WILL LEARN. WHEN YOU GET A LITTLE OLDER. THAT YOU CANNOT TRUST ANOTHER DENOMINATION TO READ THE BIBLE FOR YOU. I SAID. NOW. YOU BELONG TO ANOTHER DENOMINATION. PLEASE READ IT TO ME. AND REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE TAUGHT IN A SCHOOL WHERE EMPHASIS IS EXEGESIS. SO HE TOOK THE BIBLE AND READ IT: 'THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. THEN HE HAD IT RIGHT BUT THERE ARE EVER COMING TO ME YOUNG MEN WHO SAY, ”1 WOULD LIKE TO GO INTO BUSINESS. BUT I CANNOT. WHY NOT? 'BECAUSE I HAVE NO CAPITAL TO BEGIN ON. CAPITAL. CAPITAL TO BEGIN ON! WHAT I YOUNG MANI LIVING IN PHILADELPHIA AND LOOKING AT THIS WEALTHY GENERATION. ALL OF WHOM BEGAN AS POOR BOYS. AND YOU WANT CAPITAL TO BEGIN ON? IT IS FORTUNATE FOR YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO CAPITAL. I AM GLAD YOU HAVE NO MONEY. I PITY A RICH MAN'S SON. A RICH MAN'S SON IN THESE DAYS OF OURS OCCUPIES A VERY DIFFICULT POSITION. THEY ARE TO BE PITIEO. A RICH MAN’S SON CANNOT KNOW THE VERY BEST THINGS IN HUMAN LIFE. HE CANNOT. THE STATISTICS OF MASSACHUSETTS SHOW US THAT NOT ONE OUT OF SEVENTEEN RICH MEN’S SONS EVER DIE RICH. THEY ARE RAISED IN LUXURY. THEY DIE IN POVERTY. EVEN IF A RICH MAN’S SON RETAINS HIS FATHER’S MONEY, EVEN THEN HE CANNOT KNOW THE BEST THINGS OF LIFE HE COULD NOT SIT I DRESSED LIKE A GRA A YOUNG MAN CAME TO ME THE OTHER DAY AND SAID. IF MR. ROCKEFELLER. AS YOU THINK. IS A GOOD MAN. WHY IS IT THAT EVERYBODY SAYS SO MUCH AGAINST HIM?” IT IS BECAUSE HE HAS GOTTEN AHEAD OF US; THAT IS THE WHOLE OF IT—JUST GOTTEN AHEAD OF US. WHY IS IT MR. CARNEGIE IS CRITICIZED SO SHARPLY BY AN ENVIOUS WORLD! BECAUSE HE HAS GOTTEN MORE THAN WE HAVE. IF A MAN KNOWS MORE THAN I KNOW. DON'T I INCLINE TO CRITICIZE SOMEWHAT HIS LEARNING? LET A MAN STAND IN A PULPIT AND PREACH TO THOUSANDS. AND IF I HAVE FIFTEEN PEOPLE IN MY CHURCH. AND THEY’RE ALL ASLEEP. DON’T I CRITICIZE HIM? WE ALWAYS DO THAT TO THE MAN WHO GETS AHEAD OF US. WHY. THE MAN YOU ARE CRITICIZING HAS ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS. AND YOU HAVE FIFTY CENTS. AND BOTH OF YOU HAVE JUST WHAT YOU ARE WORTH, THE GREAT BOOK HAS BACK INTO THE ESTEEM LOVE OF THE PEOI INTO THE RESP( GREATEST MINI______ AND NOW YOM BTE iT AND REST YQ HfOUR DEATH ON I] FEAR. SO. RIGHT FROM HE QUOTED THE LOVE OF MONEY IS OF ALL EVIL. OH. THAT IS THE WORSHIP OF THE INSTEAD OF THE END. THOUGF YOU CANNOT REACH THE END WITHOUT THE MEANS. WHEN A MAN MAKES AN IDOL OF THE MONEY INSTEAD OF THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT MAY BE USED. WHEN HE SQUEEZES THE DOLLAR UNTIL THE EAGLE SQUEALS. THEN IT IS MADE THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL THINK.

FOR THE FIRST TIME. OF THE HOUSE HE HIMSELF HAS EARNED AND BUILT. WHEN HE TURNS TO HIS BRIDE AND WITH AN ELOQUENCE GREATER THAN ANY LANGUAGE OF MINE. HE SAYETH TO HIS WIFE. “MY LOVED ONE. I EARNED THIS HOME MYSELF; I EARNED IT ALL. IT IS ALL MINE. AND I DIVIDE IT WITH THEE.” THAT IS THE GRANDEST MOMENT A HUMAN HEART MAY EVER SEE BUT A RICH MAN'S SON CANNOT KNOW THAT.
