Homecoming, Marc Frantz became Homecoming Queen , and Ralph Montgomery Hintel, a dog, was elected Big Man on Campus. Attention has been focused instead on Temple as an urban university. In 1968, the administration created an Office of Urban Affairs in an attempt to relate Temple with the surrounding community. Faced with demands from the Steering Committee for Black Students (SCBS), the administration in Spring, 1969 placed a moratorium on expansion and promised to establish a black studies program, to recruit additional black students and to allow university facilities to be used by the community whenever feasible. The small minority of radicals on campus have also turned their attention more to the community. The Temple Free Press (Freep), the voice of university radicals, in 1969 changed its name to the Philadelphia Free Press. The paper, at first a reaction to administration policy, is now more concerned with news outside the campus. Greeks, in order to keep up the times and to survive in North Philadelphia, have become active in their work with the community. They still hold on to such activities as the Miss Incoming Freshmen Contest, and Shoeshine Day, in spite of the fact that most people on campus ignore them. The large majority of students are still as apathetic as they always have been. They do get a little disturbed when the community threatens violence, but mostly they complain among themselves about the increase in tuition, the price of books, and Slater food. A small group of students in attempting to change conditions have sought greater power in administration policies. Students have been given positions on a number of committees. After the Summer Commission Report was ratified, student governments were formed by organizations within the university. The problems Temple face stem from the very fact that Temple is, as everyone says, a middle-class commuter school in the heart of a ghetto. This year TEMPLAR 1970 has decided to focus on the student and his function in the university as its exists today. The following pages will show where he has been active and where he has done nothing; where he has succeeded and where he has failed. The important thing is to pull yourself up by your own hair To turn yourself inside out and see the whole world with fresh eyes. Marat Sade by Peter Weiss

Any discussion of Temple University usually concludes with the not-too-original observation that Temple is a middle-class commuter school in the heart of a ghetto. In recent years, this generalization has become a more, rather than less accurate discription of Temple. Temple was never a campus school. Until the past 10 years, however. Temple was a small school with some rather typical college traditions. Homecoming and Carnival were important social events of the year. Fraternities, though small, were prestigous. In 1970, few of these traditions have survived. Carnival has quietly been forgotten, and Homecoming barely exists. In order to put some enthusiasm into i
