TEMPLE UNIVERSITY Campus Life Into YtiUR Academic Life.. 2 6 News 38 Sports Seniors TEMPLAR ANNUAL I ; A Letter from the Editors, We would like to welcome you to the first edition of the newly revised Templar Annual. We have striven to give the Temple community a new, excit- ing, concise look at the previous academic year. Coming into this year as co- editors-in-chief we knew we had our work cut out for us! However together we have produced a finished product that we are very proud of. This feat was not possible for us alone. We have many people we wish to thank. First of all we would like to thank our staff: J.C., Tori, Dan, Shannon, Danielle, Chalon, Rue, Anna, Lauren, and Joby. Also, the beautiful layout and design of the book would not have been possible without the Graphics Media Center. Specifically we would like to thank J.J. , Sam, Melissa, Cheryl, and Chi Chi for their dedi- cated work on this project. They have truly made the pages of the Templar Annual shine. There are also some people we need to thank on the adminis- trative level: Kate Bozich our advisor. Bob and Rita Davine at HerflF Jones Yearbook, Linda Mauss at Herff Jones Yearbook, Carl Wolf Studios, Educational Services Incorporated for Advertising Sales, the staff of the Dean of Students office, Ajay for his never ending computer support, Brian and Ethel at Sports Information, University Relations for the donation of photography equipment, and the Temple News Bureau. Much thought goes into the selection of a theme for the yearbook. We selected Step Into the Future as the theme for the 1997 Templar Annual. We chose this theme because it symbolized all of the happenings on campus this year. Also, students who are graduating from Temple University are given a ticket to Step Into their Future! The staff of the Templar wishes the class of 1997 best of luck! While stepping out into your future, you can step back into the past and revisit the 1996-97 academic year at Temple University.

What makes this I species so different? According to Dave O ' Brian. Temple ' s new athletic director. In April, when I came on board, I wanted to create some new excitement and interest for the new mascot. So we decided on a contemporary owl. one which would expand our fan base, owl club membership, and be an appeal- ing new start. Dave O ' Brian went on about the design of the new owl, one that personifies a bird of prey, an aggressive, attack oriented bird. The owl will be wearing a jersey that displays the new owl logo. The idea. O ' Brian said, is to create an owl niche , one that would rival that of other Division 1 school Rice, which also has an owl as their mascot. Where will the new owl be roosting? Students will see the new owl at games, on uniforms, and at public events, but it w if always be in conjunction with the Temple T Although sales of the new merchandise have gone up. O ' Brian says that the work to mar- ket the new owl was accomplished in three months. The work on tht new owl originally had a nine month time frame. First impression from students and community have been very positive. he new owl was formerly intro- duced to the Temple community at the first home football game. He stepped out onto the field and strutted his stuff to his own song Owls . The Temple University Diamond Marching Band played, and during the song the crowd cheered Go Owls! . This is definitely a step into a new era of school spirit at Temple University! GO OWLS!!!!!!!! - Rue Murray ' a bird of prey, an aggressive, attack oriented bird photos courtesy M.

This semester ' s objective for the organizations was to showcase different venues of Temple University. The semester began with the annual Kick Off Karnival on Temple ' s Main campus. Next came the Fall Frenzy which was at Ambler ' s campus, the venue of Suburbia. Later on in the fall came The Homecoming game on October 19, 1996 which was at Veteran ' s Stadium. At the Main Campus on April 15 there will be Spring Fling ' 97. This will include the Street fair and the Step show later that evening. A couple of nights later there will be a concert for the enjoyment of all Temple students and the public. When talking with the Assistant Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs, Kristl L. Wiemicki, I asked in her opinion why students join organizations. People have a need to affiliate outside of classes, and organizations give people the chance to make new friends, and have the chance to do community service within the organization, said the Dean. organizations give people the chance to make new friends A student can gain leadership and life experiences peaking of community service, the Greeks sponsored a community sweep at Diamond, Broad, Norris, and Carlisle streets. They will also sponsored a Halloween and a Christmas Holiday party for neighborhood children. What is the barrier keeping under- classmen from joining organizations? The Dean felt that underclassmen may feel that they have nothing to offer the organizations. What they do not realize is that without their membership the organi- zations will die out. When the upper- classmen leave there is no one there to keep them alive. This exemplifies the theme Step into your Future, because of the experi- ence that students receive from working together in organizations. A student can gain leadership and life experiences which will help when they graduate and appear in the job world. - Tori M. Harris ■ rt A pep rally at th Bell Tower on Friday October 18th set the mood for Homecoming 1996! 1 pep rally at the Bell I Tower on Friday October 18th set the mood for Homecoming 1996! Preceding the pep rally, the Temple University Diamond Band and the Cheerleaders paraded through campus to raise school spirit. During the pep rally, Coach Dickerson and football captains Henry Burris and Alshermond Singleton each said a few words promoting the game and team spirit. The Temple Owls ran out at kickoff on Saturday afternoon with enthusiasm and hopes for a sweet victory over West Virginia. The team tried their hardest and put up a strong fight against the Mountaineers, but still suf- fered a loss of 30-10. D ue to the poor weather conditions the post game concert which would have been a 70 ' s Extravaganza was postponed until next season. However, the rain stopped and after the game there was more tailgat- ing. The West Virginia fans and the Temple Alumni band members were doing most of the tailgating. The Alumni band joined the Diamond Band during the half-time show for the annual Script Owls. The Diamond Band wore their brand new cherry and white uniforms for the Homecoming crowd. The fans were very sup- portive of the Temple Owls and it was wonderful to see stu- dents, parents and alumni come out in spite of the weath- er to cheer for Temple football on Homecoming 1996. - Danielle Cushner The West Virginia fans and the Temple Alumni band members were doing most of the tailgating. FALL ■— 4 ! all Frenzy, on September twenty-eighth, was anything but disorderly. This was the first all campus encompassing event to take place at the very bucolic Ambler campus fif- teen minutes from the Willow Grove Mall. Hundreds of Temple students gathered for fun, festivities, and to enjoy some music. Lots of the Temple regulars gained free admission by working on the hospitality committee. The day-long concert featured major label artists Jewel and The Tony Rich Project. The opening band was Philly ' s own Johnny O and the Classic Dogs of Love, a band covering the Top 40 and popular funk hits. Jewel was exceptionally chatty on stage. She reminded the audience that your hands manifest thought. ..that ' s important. Most students were pleased with her casual charm and appearance. She was very sweet, attractive and well dressed, said Evelyn Johnson, communications major. The Tony Rich project came and played at three o ' clock and fans enjoyed songs from his debut album and the 1996 Summer Olympics soundtrack. The afternoon shower put a bit of a damper on things, and the show winded down by the time Rich was done. Despite the rain, it was a three star event because Main Campus students met and mingled with Ambler students and the town residents. Dean Kristl Wiemicki hopes Fall Frenzy will become an annual Temple event in the future. The first event of it ' s kind (sponsored by the GAF, Dept. of Intercollegiate Athletics, TSG, The TU Greek Assoc, the Temple News, and the Ambler Student Government) was a success! - Lauren A ■ «i dm Temple Student BEj Government Temple Student Government (TSG) is the student run government organization that lets students get the experience of being in the democratic process. Student government acts as the liaison between students, administration, mdDejjsonnel. In past years the budget that they were able to allocate to organizations was $50,000. and under the new administration they are able to allocate $91,000 for Fall and Spring semesters. One of the many endeavors that they are planning for the semester indue student run Night Owl Watch program in November. This will have Temple students walking other students and faculty to their cars or dorms at night. They will be wearing caps, neon vests, and carrying flashlights for better visibility. The Reason Idl II IU Uc student run is because it creates employment and improves student re latione. The students will be trained by Temple ' s Police Department and will be jetting started i|i November. They will also be trying to improve the lights on campusj that ! appear to be daylight even at night. On Thursday October 24 there will be a National Woman ' s D olactio thai originally started as a way to fund abortions for women. The objective of Student ade a Government is to let this be a focus on women ' s choices and what ' s Taking on these issues is a big Step in to the Future because these askings th;, previously were not undertaken by the student government. k 4 President Edwin Beausoleil spoke highly o ' the new lv created department of International Affairs within TSG. This department thouglu up ideas fo r giveaways, rides, and free tickets to gain more football game attendance. Robert Lawless (part of this new department) was one of the students that helped in creating the new owl mascot. TSG has two other major events in the works: A pre- Than! and a Rock the Vote Party. The pre-Thanksgiving banquet Mill be the Diamond Club in Mitten Hall. The get out to wic Ivvk the Vote Party free get together in Great Court, Mitten Hall the weekend belR e November 5. election day.

M a P R O G R A M B O A R D n C a m u The Main Campus Program Board is responsible for many of the events that take place on campus. Their meetings take place in the Student Activities Center (SAC) on Wednesdays in room 403, and their office is on the second floor of SAC in room 213 of the Village. On September 1 1 , 1996 the Program Board was in attendance with a lot of other organizations on campus at the Kick off Carnival. The Program Board sponsored a Homecoming Rave ' 96 on October 17, 1996 at Mitten Hall at the Owl Cove which is located at the corner of Broad and Berks Mall. This was a Disco classic that presented the Tribal America Recording artist Hidden Agenda USA featuring Kim Payton. It had DJ ' s that will surely had everyone geared up for Homecoming on Saturday. They are also responsible for working to make the annual Spring Fling a rousing success. On April 1 5 there will be a Streetfair which includes games, music, food and campus togetherness with friends. People enjoy the giveaways, a DJ at the Bell Tower, free samples of soda, and purchasable foods like funnel cake, water ice, and smoothies just to name a few. This fair takes place all day and ends with a step show sponsored by the Pan Hellenic Society later that night. A couple days after the fair the Program Board has a concert set up for Temple ' s students and outside guests to enjoy. The concert always includes famous talent and the ability to buy refreshments later at the snack bar. This event is at McGonigle Hall and heavy emphases is placed upon security so that everyone has a good and safe time. - Tori M. Harris Aggressive Owl Reflects Director ' s Hope For The Future The mystery of the origin of the new mascot has finally been revealed. New athletic director Dave O ' Brien has stepped forward and proclaimed that this new look with a new aggressive owl is designed to get the campus and the community, re-interested in the Temple Owls, athletically and as a University. Attracted to the growth possibility and a good future within the Temple athletic department, Dave O ' Brien moved across the country from Long Beach State University, California. As the director of all twenty sports, he is in charge of management and operation, marketing, promotion, sports information, financial operations, making sure athletes are doing well academically, and that they follow all NCAA, conference and university rules and regulations. O ' Brien plans to implement a philosophy called selective excellence. He explains that it means that you need to decide wha t you want to emphasize and support to achieve national distinction. To do this they will target sports for different levels of success , and then get resources for each sport that coincide with that level of success. He also stresses the ' 3-C ' S . These include classroom success, community involvement, and competitive excellence. He believes that this will lead to a well rounded athlete and will also help get the campus and community more involved. He would like to improve public relations and promote Temple sports to the public, to let the campus and community know how important intercollegiate sports arc. This is the reason for the new, aggressive owl. He hopes to market this new image to the public, so that people will get more involved by going to games. He emphasizes that the success of Temple sports depends in part on the support of the students, faculty, staff, and alumni. He would like them to become more involved in planning and decision making. He hopes that as Temple gains more support and the athletics improve, they will help to increase the enrollment at Temple. Dave O ' Brien sees the Temple Owls stepping into a bright future! He sees national prominence in more sports, and hopes to generate more operations and scholarship money from ticket sales and more outside, non-university funds. However, he needs our support of our Temple Owls as they do battle on the field, on the court, on the diamond, or in the gym to achieve the success he believes Temple is capable of. Chalon Rohrcr r « Education in a Technological Age Since the beginning of the written word, communication has been forever changing, and as we approach the twenty-first century, the advances have been beyond comprehension. From writing letter s that could take weeks to reach their destinations to sending telegraph messages across the Atlantic to talking on the telephone, personal communication has gotten easier and more efficient. Mass media has also improved from newspapers to radio to television. Today : we can communicate via electronic mail (e-mail), and the mass media has expanded to the £ I ' mm 1 As Temple students we have free access to the Internet and an e-ma il accou nt. E-mail allows us to communicate as often as we choose with others around the world without the expense of long-distance calling. The Internet has also made it easy to talk to others around the world, as well as find any kind of information we need in one place. We can do research for a paper, catch up on the news and football scores, or listen to a speech from JFK. We can also catch up on the happenings of Temple University through the Temple News Online. Temple, in an effort to make registering for classes easier for the students, has increased its technology, so that students can now register by telephone. No more appointments or standing in line to get the choice classes, we can now just pick up the phone.

The University and Campus Safety Services arc currently ' the process of making access cards necessary for entrance into most buildings. Students and faculty members will have to scan their ID ' s upon entering. Only those with valid ID ' s will be allowed to enter. Everyone is encouraged to wear tin ir ID ' s while on campus and inside of campus buildings. Temple University ' s Police Department is rapidly growing. Twenty new officers have been hired, many were formerly security officers here at Temple. The bike patrol (which has become very mcr The out (2 (13 u cor III! pro for des pro loci Fui popular an effective) has doubled increasing the unit to eight officers. There will be ninety armed officers on the campus when training is complete. The Temple Police Department is licensed by the state of Pennsylvania. Students are urged to use the escort service which currently has five vans running through the night and stopping at designated locations. There has also been a project done by students for night safety. They have 1 designed night maps providing information to locate phones and security stations. There are some helpful hints offered for students to follow when traveling on campus. With all these security changes and steps toward abolishing crime, Temple is following the theme Step Into The Future. - Danielle Cushner William T.

Fifty years from now, the years you spent as a temple student will represent a relatively brief and distant part of your life, when you reach that golden benchmark, you ' ll recall only a few Temple experiences, but we hope you ' ll then appreciate the richness of your education in human, fulfilling terms. I have two pieces of advice for the intervening years, between now and 2047: maintain a sense of humor, and be honest with yourself. Everything else will work out. We expect you ' ll also give back to Temple for others to have the opportunity for an excellent, affordable education. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, our distinguished faculty and staff, and nearly 200,000 proud Temple graduates throughout the world, I wish you the best. Good luck. Peter . .

Hope is back in America, Clinton declared. Clinton accepting his party ' s presidential nomination for the second time, and in prepared remarks he said the economy had roared back to life under his watch, creating 10 million new jobs even as the federal government payroll shrunk. In a second term, he pledged to balance the federal budget. Clinton ' s speech ,-,was the finale of a ' Democratic convention remarkable for its show of unity. The iDemocrats were |heading home in an unfamiliar position: Heavily favored to win. Not since Franklin Roosevelt in 1944 has a Democratic incumbent been re-elected, and Clinton ' s 1992 victory was only the second for a Democrat in the sevenpresidential elections of the past 30 years. As long as I am president. I will never allow cuts thai devastate education for our children, pollute our environment, end the guarantee of health care under Medicaid or violate our duty to our parents under Medicare, Clinton said. Never. As Gore did in his convention speech the night before, Clinton urged voters to think ahead to the year 2000 as the) made their choice this November, he said his four-da) train trip to the convention had convinced him thai Hope is hack in America. .America is on the right track for the 2 I si century. Republican fijf | k National ' X tML Convention ± Offering himself as a bridge to a time of tranquility, Bob Dole accepted the GOP presidential nomination on August 15, 1996, vowing to restore heartland values of faith and trust to a White House he called captive to elitists who never sacrificed or suffered. In a dramatic convention finale. Dole accepted his party ' s presidential nomination before 1,990 Republican delegates. Dole ' s address was the signature moment of the Republican National Convention that opened with a pointed right to choose ' platform fight but closed in an atmosphere of nervous unity. His vanquished primary Iocs were seated together in the VIP section at the edge of the convention floor. Warming up the crowd for Dole was Republican vice presidential nominee Jack Kemp, whose enthusiastic embrace oi ' the Dole tax plan was matched only by an emphatic pledge to expand the Republican Party by reaching out to blue-collar and minority voters. We may not get every vote, but we will speak to every heart. said Kemp. Indeed. Dole echoed Kemp ' s call for racial harmony and tolerance with a blunt rejoinder to anyone who did not believe the Republican Party should be open to all: ' Tonight this hall belongs to the party of Lincoln and the exits, which are clearly marked, are for you to walk out of as I stand here and hold this ground — without compromise. l ' lh io ( ' ourtesy t Associated Press ■ 4 Olympic Bombing July 27. 1996, a pipe bomb exploded at 1:20 am, killing Alice Hawthorn of Albany. GA, and injuring 111 others. A Turkish cameraman rushing to the scene died of a heart attack. Richard Jewell, a security guard working in the park, alerted police to a suspicious knapsack and helped evacuate people just moments before it exploded. Jewell was hailed as a hero, and numerous interviews were requested. But just a day or two later, a local newspaper identified Jewell as the prime suspect. Investigators looked at Jewell after the Olympic Park bombing as someone who had a history of over zealousness and a desire to be a hero. Plus, he was near where the bomb exploded. With such elements fitting the profile of a lone bomber, but with no hard evidence, they went after him — and struck out spectacularly. After three months of an investigation that involved 1 1 federal, state and local agencies and more than 200 people, Jewell was publicly cleared as a target of the bomb investigation. TWA Flight 800 On July . 17. 1996. a F Boeing 747 jumbo jet took off from JFK International Airport in New York. never to reach its destination in Paris. TWA Flight 800 exploded and crashed into the ocean in hundreds of pieces. There were no survivors of the 230 people aboard. Months of an exhaustive and round-the- clock investigation still have produced no definitive cause for why the jet burst into a fireball, and there is growing concern that the mystery will never be solved. Authorities listed three theories for the cause of the explosion — a bomb, a missile and a mechanical malfunction. But after millions of dollars of work by the Navy, the National Transportation Safety Board, the FBI and others, none of these have proven to be the cause. Several makeshift memorials scattered the coast of Fire Island (NY) — some erected by family, some by friends and some by those paying tribute to victims who lost their lives in the crash. Articles Courtesy of Associated Puss California Wildfires Wildfires burned out of control in California during October 1996, spreading fire across thousands and thousands of acres. Although not responsible for the initial start, the Santa Ana winds acted like gasoline on a match, threatening lives, homes, wildlife, and wilderness. Every time the Santa Ana winds would calm down even slightly, an army of fully water- loaded helicopters and airplanes would take to the skies, racing to put an end to the wildfires before the winds picked up. Accor- ding to the Na- tional Intera- gency Fire Center. 1996 has produced the nation ' s worst wildfire season in more than four decades. They have claimed more than 6 million acres, the most since the year 1952. Governor Pete Wilson declared a slate of emergency in San Diego. Las Angeles, and Orange Counties. President Clinton was asked to declare the counties as disaster areas. Hurricane Hortense After killing 16 people in the Caribbean in mid-September 1996. Hurricane Hortense l ost some of his strength, but swaggered to the northeastern United States. Hortense swiped at the Turks and Caicos, then harmlessly barreled past the Bahamas. Earlier it landed two direct strikes on Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, killing 16 people, demolishing hundreds of homes and destroying at least $128 million in crops. The hurricane brought nearly 18 inches of rain to Puerto Rico, creating swollen, raging rivers and deadly mudslides. Most oi ' San Juan, the capital, was in darkness. Food spoiled in refrigerators, and those lucky enough to have water often had a mud-colored liquid emerge from the tap. Residents endured long lines in up to 90-degree heat for such essentials as ice and drinking water. In the midst of the death and destruction brought by Hortense was the heroic rescue of a one-year-old child. Cassandra Gomez. Five family members had been trapped for hours on the! second story of their home near Guayama, Puerto Rico. During their rescue. Miguel Ariel Rodriguez (left) and j Jose Luis de Leon risked their own lives in the struggle to keep the baby from falling into the rushing waters. And happily, it was a successful endeavor. k 2M Photos Courtesy of Associated Press ■ t Russian President Boris Yeltsin There was something improbable about the sight of Boris Yeltsin, snowy hair waxed into his rigid, trademark pompadour, indulging in a bit of boogie at a pop concert. He looked like a dancing bear. But thousands of young people basking in free music and festive spirits didn ' t seem to care. They roared their approval as the 65-year-old candidate swiveled and grinned. Vote! Yeltsin roared hack, soaking up energy from the crowd in Ufa. Vote or you ' ll damn well lose it all! Five years ago, Yeltsin could take the youth for granted. Young people were in the forefront of the pro-democracy, pro-reform movement that made him Russia ' s first freely elected president. Yeltsin pledged to end the despised and dreaded draft and the war in Chechnya, where young conscripts die almost daily. He promised guaranteed jobs for young people, tax breaks for young families and government help for first-time homebuyers and young entrepreneurs. He portrayed himself as guardian of the personal freedoms so important to many young Russians. Symbolic of this liberty was the nationwide series of free pop concerts sponsored by the Yeltsin campaign. Netanyahu and Arafat at the White House Marathon negotiations in early October 1996 between Israeli and Palestinian leaders failed to resolve hitter differences that exploded in Mideast violence and jeopardized the fragile peace process. But the two sides agreed to press ahead. The Children of Isrea e safer tonight. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the summit that ended on October 2 cemented the principle that the path to peace is through negotiations and not through violence. He added. The children of Israel are safer tonight. Please, please give us a chance to make this thing work in the days ahead. Clinton implored Palestinians and Israelis. Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat sat stone-faced, side by side in the East Room with Jordan ' s King Hussein at the wrap up o ' the talks.

When the bus arrived at various university campus, voter materials were made available as well as MTV ' S Voter ' s Guide, which explained the two major parties views on issues of concern to young people. Students who paid a visit to the bus were asked to sign a pledge card saying that they would vote in the November election. The ' Choose or Lose bus staff kept the cards until late October, then mailed them back to the signees to remind them to go to the polls. In addition to serving as a voter registration and education center, the bus was also a rolling television Studio. Earlier this year. MTV ' s Tabitha Soren interviewed GOP presidential nominee Senator Bob Dole on the bus. Other politicians and some rock bands took rides to talk about polities as well. Dennis Rodman Chicago Bulls basketball star Dennis Rodman taped a scene with Kristen Johnston and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (left) on the set of 3rd Rock from the Sun for the weekly television show which appeared September 1996. Rodman played himself in the episode but was recognized as an alien by one of the show ' s cast members. Not surprising. Just a month earlier, this 35-year-old — aka The Worm — appeared in New York, promising that he would simultaneously sign books and make some lucky woman Mrs. Worm. There was no bride, but Rodman put on a sideshow so appalling, yet lucrative, that it :ould have convinced P.T. Barnum to dump the circus and buy an NBA franchise. Dennis Rodman, author of the best selling ography Wanna copies of his mural with the great writers: Nabakov, Joyce.

Rodman was creatine chaos. PIh u ( ' ourtesy ofAssoi iated Press Alanis Morissette Alanis Morissette is at the top of her profession these days. With sales of Jagged Little Pill reaching 13 million, the 22-year-old Canadian singer songwriter ' s debut in the United States became the best-selling album by a female artist. After Morissette won four Grammy ' s in February 1996, including one for album of the year, Pill sold at least 200,00 copies a week for seven consecutive weeks. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Morissette won out over several other female artists including Carole King, whose 197 Tapestry sold million copies and Whitney Houston ' s Whitney Hootie and the Blowfish Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish rehearsed! onstage at New York ' s Radi City Music, Hall oni Septemberi 6. 1996, forj the MTV ' Video Music ■ — ft alone time -Darius Rucker Houston which sold at least 12 million copies. Awards that would take place later that evening. And to the crowd ' s pleasure, they gave an outstanding live performance. When Hootie and the Blowfish do their thing, you can ' t help but be impressed with the quality of their songs. Be the One is one of Rucker ' s favorites, and Sad Caper pairs an upbeat melody with downbeat lyrics, remembers a failed relationship. I said before this record ( Fairweather Johnson ) I was going to write a song about a relationship that worked and I guess I ' m never in one, so I couldn ' t do it. Rucker said with a chuckle. I guess I like being lonely, he said. I ' ve discovered being alone really helps me be creative. I love my alone time. I think I like it even more now because I don ' t get much of it. When it ' s pointed out that winning the Best New Artist Grammy is more often than not the kiss of death, Rucker said: It wasn ' t the award that did whatever happened to them. That Grammy didn ' t make them not have a career to whatever happened to them; it ' s what they did after that. You can ' t fault winning a Grammy for anything. Articles Courtesy of Associated Press Tiger Woods The sudden success of the 20-year-old Tiger Woods in his first two months as a professional has focused attention on golf in a way unseen since the days of Arnold Palmer. The difference this time is that Woods, barely removed from being a teenager himself, appears to be drawing teens and pre-teens to the game in astonishing numbers. He ' s just so cool, said 12-year-old Derek Dickson, attending the tournament with his school ' s 30-member gold club. It ' s really neat that someone his age can beat everybody. And that ' s exactly what Woods has done. Since turning professional on August 27, 1996, after winning an unprecedented third consecutive U.S. Amateur Championship. Woods has played in seven PGA Tour events, winning two, finishing third twice, fifth once and 1 1th once. The only event in which he did not have a chance to win was his very first tournament, when exhaustion from all the attention contributed to a 60th-place finish. He won $734,794 in just seven events — ranked 23rd on the PGA Tour money list against players who have played as many as 29 tournaments. Woods, whose father is black and whose mother was born in Thailand, is well aware of his role as a pioneer in a game that is overwhelmingly white on a professional level. If I keep progressing in golf. I could help bring more minorities into the game and make it more diverse. Woods said alter practice. Michael Johnson Michael Johnson knows how to close out a deal quickly and efficiently. When he thought that his 1996 Olympic rivals in the men ' s 200 meter might threaten his 19.66 world record, he upped the ante. He broke it himself, coming in w ith a 1 9.32 time. When Johnson won the 400 a few days earlier, he didn ' t have to do anything special to leave the field gasping for air somewhere near the parking lot. An Olympic record of 43.49 was good enough. Johnson runs the way no one dares to imagine — legs churning low to the ground, back straight in perfect posture -- truly something to behold. Like Bob Beamon leaping beyond the bounds of reason. Like Roger Bannister doing what nobody believed possible. Like Bob Hayes busting the 10-second barrier. Johnson didn ' t merely complete an unprecedented golden double in the 200 and 400. he made a joke of his own world record. The 200 record had never been broken by such a large margin. Even Johnson couldn ' t believe I ' huitn Cuitrii ' w of Associated Press ■ 4 World Series The World Series trophy is back in the Bronx, belonging to a New York Yankees team that never gave up. Together they pulled off the ultimate comeback. Given no chance after two humbling losses at home, the Yankees won the first World Series title since 1978 with a 3-2 victory over the defending champion Atlanta Braves in Game 6 on Saturday. October 26. 1996. this marked the Yankees ' 23rd title, most in history and surely one of their most remarkable. The Yankees beat Gres Maddux in becoming the first team to win at home in this Series. New York was just the third club to ever to win the Series after losing the first two games at home, joining the 1986 Mets and the 1985 Kansas City Royals. For 56-year-old Joe Torre, it brought redemption in his first year as Yankees manager. He had played and managed in 4.272 games without reaching the Series-the longest streak in major league history — and once was fired as Atlanta ' s manager. I never had any doubts about this club, Torre said. When you get as old as I am you learn to appreciate it. It might come only once. John E Kennedy Jr. Wedding (photo copyright: 1996. Dennis Reggie) In a world of celebrity reporting, stories don ' t get much bigger than this. Alone, the wedding of a president ' s son. or the world ' s most eligible bachelor would grab a headline. But when one person is both of those things, when the name is Kennedy, it is huge. Yet John F. Kennedy Jr. managed to wed Carolyn Bessette on Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia, outside the sights of the paparazzi that have been trained on him since he was a toddler at the White House. This wedding was so super secret that there were family members that did not know about it. said Boston Herald gossipl columnist Laural Raposa. I have tol commend them. They did it quietly,! secretly and were inl and out before anyone knew what] happened. said Frank Poparo. whoi has photographed! the Kennedy ' s for al dozen years on Cape| Cod. For his part.l Kennedy issued a| statement explaining thel secrecy. It was! important for us to be able to conductl this in a private, prayerful and meaningful way with the people we love.
