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.

The Temple Owls ran out at kickoff on Saturday afternoon with enthusiasm and hopes for a sweet victory over West Virginia.

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
