The point is that Temple is a big institution that encourages one to accept the fact that he is just a number, and get lost in the confusion. It's easy to come to campus only for classes, complain about the tuition and the community, and hone someone else does something about the problems. But with a little effort, the student can make his college career more than a mere waste of four years. He can work with accomplished men in almost every field. He can take advantage of the cultural, athletic, and entertaining events offered almost daily. He can meet intelligent, interesting, and involved people. He can even become a Bob Simmons, who was the first student to sit with the Board of Trustees, a Martha Fineman, who fought for the day care center, or a Joe Henderson, who presided over the newly formed Student Senate. The opportunity for a wide range of experiences is presented at Temple, the responsibility lor finding and availing himself of them lies with the student.
