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
