TEMPLAR ANNUAL 1999 by Ivy Ed low Temple students can inhale, choke on, and even d e %• o u r construction dust. We can out- walk cement trucks, dodge unidentified flying objects, and with a quick sidewalk change, move out of the range of burly men drilling, ham- mering, shouting and building. One of Temple ' s most valuable tjualities is its abilitv to re-create itself — to change along with the times. 1998 brought a close to the building of The Forum at the Apollo: a huge project which has brought excitement and pride to the school. There was also the metamorphosis of Shusterman Hall, a place where the melodious voices of the choir were once heard, but now the shuffling of sneakers and the sounds of legal rhetoric have taken over in the new class rooms and seminar rooms. Also, the Board of Trustees of Temple and the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine decided to combine its facultv and 400 students to form the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine on July 1, 1998. The College of Arts and Sciences has also spilt. It became the College of Liberal Arts which includes Humanities, Social Sciences, and Psychology, and the College of Science and Technology which includes Physical Sciences, Mathematics, Computer ni-i Information Sciences, and the College of Engineering. The Board of Trustees appro ed the estab- lishment of the School of Tourism and Hospitalit ' Management, which went into effect on |ul ' 1st, 1998. This school is made up of the department of Sports, Management and Leisure Studies (former- A LOOK AT TEMPLE ' S Academic Adjustments Arrive n 1 y known as the College of Health), Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. The Dean of the School of Business is responsi- ble for this new school. Temple also has big plans for the Fall of 1999, including re-orga- nizing the colleges and creating new schools. The Department of Physical Education will mo e to the College of Education, and may change its name to the Department of Kinesiology. Tyler School of Art will move from its Elkins Park location to main campus for the 2000-2001 school year. It will be positioned on a acant piece of land surrounded by Montgomery Avenue, 11th street, Berks Street and Warnock Street. 9 ' ?! 26

THE END THE BEGINNING get a study room to myself so that 1 won ' t get distracted. It gets so congest- ed that it ' s almost a struggle to breathe. The best thing about this fren- zied state at Paley is that it doesn ' t last fore er. Once finals week is o -cr, the drone of the computers quiets down to a slightly noticeable hum that could lull you to sleep. The hustle and bustle fizzles off and returns back to normal. It ' s business as usual for Temple students, until another semes- ter rolls around. Students will once again wait until the week of finals to pack into Paley to stud ' , fill up on Surge and Jolt, and kiss good-bye to sleep. Thus, the cycle continues at I ' aley Library. pliolo!. bv Karon Slewarl 25
