To the Future (above) The view south at the ne w train station. Morgan) ' Berks Works (Photo by For evening commuters there is a free shuttle bus service in 15-minute intervals. State-of-the-art lighting, elevators, emergency call boxes and a public address system for up-to-the-minute information on train arrivals and departures have all been installed for commuters ' safety and comfort. There is even a contribution from future students — artwork by North Philadelphia children depicting their neighborhood creativity has been hung at the base of the station. This new train station is only a two-minute walk to campus, and is always kept very clean. This station is so much cleaner than the Broad Street Line or even the old station at 10th and Montgomery. It is just a nicer ride, said Janice Jackson, a Temple University employee. - Sabina Szylobryt 41

Building a Track ibme (above) The view north at the new SEPTA train station at 10th and Berks streets. (Photo by Morgan) In September 1993, after two years of con- struction, a new SEPTA commuter train sta- tion was opened. The new station provides a direct link to the northwestern section of Phil- adelphia, as well as the northwestern and western suburbs. When a person exits the platform at 10th and Berks street they simply fol- low the Cherry and White Temple J flags toward the Welcome to Temple banner over the walkway between Anderson and Cladfelter Halls.

Dedication This year ' s edition o f the Templar is dedicated to those hardworking, ded- icated individuals who guide us along our academic way. These people are the unsung heroes of Temple Uni- versity. These people are our academ- ic advisors. Many academic advisors are also faculty members. These three advi- sors are from the School of Commu- nication and Theater, but each of the various schools at Temple has its own advisors. These advisors also contrib- ute to the faculty throughout the uni- versity. They are essential in the building of our futures, the shaping of our lives. We come to them as freshmen, fright- ened and insecure; we leave them as assured, educated men and women willing and able to conquer the world. As parents raise children, our advisors watch us grow and mature. Advisors monitor our academic progress. Their office doors are always open, waiting to offer a kind or chas- tising word when needed. They are always willing to offer an open ear and most importantly — advice. Advisors serve as mediators be- tween student and professor by stay- ing abreast of the ever-changing cur- riculum. They inspire and encourage. To these rarely recognized and un- derappreciated men and women of Temple University, we say . . . THANK YOU. — Vernice Black ne (above) Hiley Ward, an academic adviser for the School of Communication and Theater.
