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
