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

K.CTANlZATI hen students start school in the fall they are presented with a lot of activities and organizations to choose from. 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
