SAYS- END TOE S7» JtE HOWf- The signs hung from the library, Celebrate! Temple University and an advertisement for the weekend ' s football game. It would seem like the perfect setting for the beginning of a new fall semester. But it wasn ' t a normal semester. Under the signs gathered a group of graduate students and support- ers. The Graduate Student Em- ployees Association (GSEA) joined the strike to raise awareness of their cause. GSEA members have been fight- ing since last year for recognition as a union. The administration says that they are students, not em- ployees. The GSEA response to that was noted on the signs that they carried: Teaching is work — Research is work. The third week of the TAUP strike commenced with the arrest of seven graduate students and an undergrad. The seven were block- ing the entrance to President Liacouras ' office. After being physically removed, they were ar- rested for defiant trespassing. 13

A Concrete Lesson When students think of Temple Uni- versity a multitude of ideas come to mind: endless lectures, a great sports game, friends, or special activities like Spring Fling. But rarely do students consider the actual buildings that com- prise the university. Unless, of course, the buildings become your textbook. In architecture, geology, and art classes this is often the case. Archi- tecture students can be found studying the design and structure, while geology students ponder the rock content in the building ' s material. Sunny days invite art students to park in front of a structure and sketch it from numerous angles. And Temple buildings have been the subjects for photography students countless times. J 14 [
