INTRO: IMAGES MAKERS AT |i t Temple Town, days are filled with events and encounters that form our opinions and influence our futures. The exploits and endeavors of our contemporaries add to the collage of school experience. Some add flecks of color to the Templar tapestry, some fray the edges. All, however, add up to what we will remember as our days here. We cheered and chanted, Palmer! Palmer! at each football game. The speedy young running back totaled up points with the help of the team and the support of the crowd. National television and magazine coverage of his bid to take the Heisman Trophy for best American college player thrilled us all. With the good times, came the bad ones. There was trouble in Temple Town and our allegiance was divided between the university professors and the administration. The dispute concerned money, but the real cost was measured in time from our classes. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP), headed by Philip Yannella, protested the administration ' s negotiation of its contract and called a strike. Back and forth the two sides bargained. Up and down went our hopes for a quick resolution. Photos - Aaron Walker 14

J TEMPLE TOWN I ( Temple Town went continental as we pulled for Jim McGowan. At 54, he planned to swim the cold English Channel. Age was not the issue. His challenge was to do the swim in spite of a physical disability — paralysis from mid-chest down. His effort fell short because of the cold water and apparatus problems, but Jim McGowam took the trophy for courage. Celebrities were seen on campus. Mayor Wilson Goode visited in praise of the university and extolled its fine example in education and community relations. In addition, Bob Casey graced our halls and courted the Temple vote during his grab for the governor ' s chair. He won. We won too — a fine education, a circle of friends, and a sterling assortment of Temple Town memories. 15
