THE END THE BEGINNING Waters, who ' s best known for his outrageous movies such as Pink Flnnungos and Hairspray, gave his perspective on the art world. Waters advised students that using shock value only to get the attention of an audience is immature if it doesn ' t focus attention on important issues. Waters showed film photography stills and signed autographs for the large and enthu- siastic crowd. Camille Cellucci, special effects chief for the movie Titanic, spoke of the time and tireless effort it took to do the special effects in a feature length film like Titanic. The students also saw clips from the press packet of the movie. Fisher, who has works on permanent display at the Smithsonian and the Holocaust Museum, discussed, How to market your- self and how to do what you love and get paid for it. Students were treated further when New York tattoo artist Matty Jankowski discussed the tech- niques and other issues associated with tattooing, jankowski showed the audience how to use henna for tattooing. The year ended with the Spring Students Exhibition held in April. Students had the chance to display their best work to the public, and gain some exposure. Artwork by Tyler students can also be viewed at Tyler Gallery and Penrose Gallery on cam- pus, or the Temple Art Gallery on 2nd St. in Olde City during special exhibitions.

TEMPLAR ANNUAL 1999 TYLER SCHOOL OF ART by Mary Steele Tucked away in Elkins Park, the highly acclaimed Tvler campus is the outlet for Temple University artists in every medium, from paintings to glass blowing. Despite an unhappy response from the students, Tyler will be moving to North Philadelphia to join Main campus in the year 2000. The move is being made in an effort to consolidate the two schools, giving students a greater feeling of unity. However, many Tyler students prefer their quiet, sub- urban ha en. The campus draws students, said Travis Scott, a ceramics major and the president of the Creative Expression Series at the Tyler campus. Not only has Tyler drawn students, but some big names in the arts world as well. Many exciting events occured on campus in the 1998-99 school year, including guest speakers such as director John Waters, special effects expert Camille Cellucci, ani- mator Bill Plvmptom (known for his work on MTV and in the GEICO commercials), and Bob Fisher, a ris- ing star in the art world.

TEMPLAR ANNUAL 1999 AMBLER CAMPUS Temple ' s suburban counterpart bv Jennifer Catewood Seniors remember the Ambler Campus fondly; Jennifer Kassouf, an Accounting Major, finds the fact that the Ambler Campus is so close to home appealing. Ambler Campus is in a small communi- ty, she said. The class sizes are small so the person- al attention by the faculty is nice. Jennifer ' s fa orite thing to do on the Ambler Campus is sitting out in front of VVeidner Hall talking with friends. Ambler is a nice place to attend school because you arc not worrying about your safety when on campus like at Main Campus. At any point during the day or evening, the campus is a safe and comfortable place to be, Jennifer said. Autumn oung, a Business Administration major, has some fun memories about tiu- Ambler Campus. I miss the cafeteria in Bright Hall, as well a ' . Snapplc, Autumn said. My favorite thing to do is to fall asleep watching TV in Bright Hall. What Autumn likes most about tiie Ambler campus, like Jennifer, is the ability to get kno ' the teachers. My experience at Ambler has been great, Autumn said. Seniors can look back over the last few years and remember their time spent at the Ambler campus as a time filled with changes. The campus has changed in the past four years just as you have changed, from a first year student not sure what this whole college thing was all about, to a senior, ready to go out into the real world. lust think back to your first semester at Ambler and what the campus looked like. One of the changes that students may never forget was when the Owl ' s Nest was replaced with the bookstore. Many students were upset when this move took place, and will hold fond memories of meeting friends in-between classes and listening to the campus radio station. The bookstore now has more space for clothing, books, food, and even coffee. The Owl ' s Nest was combined with the Dining Center and a lounge area was added with a big screen televi- sion. This change began in the F ' all of 1997. All the mo ' ing was completed bv the Fall 1998 semester. What seems like a long time ago, as freshman, the campus radio station, WRTF received a one mile transmission radius and could be broadcasted into the dorms. Because the Owl ' s Nest was no longer there for the radio station to be heard, in the Spring 1999 semester, WRTF was broad cast into the Red Barn Gym, the Dinning Center, and the game room. Some of the changes may have left the stu- dents a little di v, but were well worth it. The cart mo ed from Oixon Hall to Hriglit Hall and back lo l )i on Hall. The food cart tliat was mo ed into Bright Hall after the Owl ' s Nest was nuned went from the food cart of Dixon Hall after the bookstore moved into place in Bright Hall and sold snacks and coffee. The food cart sold snacks and drinks for students not able to get across campus to the dining center. 10
