10 THE for two straight days. The weekend was always night time no matter what time of day it was, and it usually meant party, sleep, sleep and more sleep. I can ' t wait for the weekend. It ' s the best part of the week, said Michael Greene. Students could be found with endless smiles on their faces, and all weekend long they were bounc- ing off the walls, trying to find all kinds of things to get into. Some stayed on campus and went to parties at frat houses or Crossroads in SAC. Others ventured into the city to visit the club and bar scene. It was not uncommon to see a familiar Temple face at Shampoo, Maui, or Finnegan ' s Wake. Day in and day out, Temple students could be found in various places getting into lots of fun and innocent trouble. However you spent your nights, hopefully they were memorable, because just like that, they are gone. photos by Karen Stewart

rEMPLAR ANNUAL 1999 Wl . DAY OUT By Kristin Boyd How did you spend your nights at Temple University? Most students studied, slept, or, of course, partied. But not always in that order. When stude nts were escaping from their stud- ies, some could be found cuddling up with a teddy bear, trying to catch up on sleep. Some students were at poetry readings, trying to get in touch with their souls, and others could be found in clubs, trying to get in touch with the person dancing next to them. However, many students had to pay for school them- selves, so some were working hard at after-school jobs. When the sun went to bed and the moon came out to play, so did Temple students. Whether it was a room party, watching television in the lounges or just hanging out with friends, students made the best of nighttime. I have six classes and when I ' m done, I ' m ready for an enjoyable, relaxing night, said Michele Yoder. On school nights, many students hung around the dorms, caught a movie at SAC or saw a play at Tomlinson Theater. Another popular evening activity was a night out at the Campus Grill for dinner, drink- ing, or just shooting pool. I go to the Grill at least three times a week, just to unwind after a long day of studying, said Sarah Guiles. Wednesday was usually the most crowded night at the Grill because of the popular karaoke contest. Students also spent their nights in the gym, in the cafeteria socializing, and at their havens-their dorm rooms. I go to my room; I like being in my room, said senior Wenzel Walker. TGIF!!! This phrase could be heard at the end of every week by most Temple Owls. Friday meant the weekend was finally here, which meant no class

TEMPLAR ANNUAL 1999 STUDY ABROAD bv Lorin Kavanaugh Temple students had the world in their hands through Temple ' s study abroad program. No matter vour major or interests, there was defi- nitely something to fit your needs. Temple owns two campuses abroad, runs several summer ses- sions, and has numerous exchange programs. The Italy program, which began in 1966, is located at Villa Caproni in Rome. The campus is perched in the heart of the Eternal City and overlooks the Tiber River. Sessions offered throughout the year highlighted some of the best features of each season. This program offered something for everyone, such as visual arts, international business, architecture, liberal arts and Italian studies. What better way to learn than immersing yourself within one of the cultural centers of the world? Senior Evan Kelly spent the summer in Rome studying International Business. I liked the atmosphere of it, he said. It was great experiencing dif- ferent cultures and foods. Being an International Business major, I got some first hand experience, rather than learn- ing it in a classroom. Temple also runs a campus in Tokyo, Japan. Temple was the first uni- versity with a branch in Japan and has been operating successfully since 1982. The campus lies within the Minami A abu area of central Tokyo, which allowed for maximum access to such sights as the Imperial Palace, the Diet Building, and the entertainment district. It was possible to spend a year or semester abroad in this diverse city. Temple Japan offered a variety of courses of study, the most renowned being the intense engineering pro- gram. This program was also extremely beneficial for International Business students who were looking to gain invaluable time abroad. Temple is not limited to Japan or Italy — they also run a program during the fall and summer semesters in London, England in association with Florida State University. Students lived in apartments that were close to Soho and the theater district, and Temple students loungi ' on tliu hp.ini h Stops in Rom just a short walk from the British Museum. Geared mainly towards communications and theater majors, this program also littered classes such as British 16
