We planned the 1971 TEMPLAR with the idea of showing the mood and the events of the year. Almost two hundred pages of the trivia of the ‘70 book were omitted to present just the essence of these matters. We wanted to show what was behind the Panther convention in McGonigle Hall, the deferred payment issue, and the dorm crisis in November. We hoped to show an accurate view of university-community relations and of Temple's power structure. To do this we asked the people who were involved with the issues to write the indepth articles our staff, not being as closely involved, could not duplicate. To help cope with the impossible task of portraying the reactions of even the some 2400 seniors who would be receiving this book, we invited them, through an ad in the Temple NEWS, to tell us about their Temple experience. We were disappointed by everyone we turned to. The BSL, probably our best source of black student feeling oji campus, decided at a general meeting that the yearbook was not important enough to spend the time writing for. Even the seniors who would be the first to complain if they didn't like their book were too bus or found it too unimportant a matter to make the book in some way theirs. We received only three voluntary 50 word paragraphs; the others were drafted from the staffs friends. Only the professors and members of the administrative offices we asked to write gave us good articles within the time limit, and for this we thank them. Maybe the yearbook is an unimportant artifact of past college days. This all to distinct possibility was one that disturbed the editors more and more as each deadline was planned, worked on, and eventually met. Perhaps people no longer want to see their faces and activities, or lack of them, and someone else's description of their university. Maybe this is the last yearbook as such that Temple University will have. If the need for such a publication no longer exists, or can not be fdled by one such as this, then a TEMPLAR 1972 should not happen.
