Temple naugural Picni ' What a Wonderful Day The Temple Town Inaugural Picnic was held to welcome the new President of Temple University, Dr. David Adamany. This was a time for him to meet with students and for students to get to know him. The event began with the Temple University Diamond Band marching through campus. Then, students and visitors had their choice of listening to creative poetry, watching the Temple Latin American Ensembles, or enjoying an in- terpretive dance. By noon it was time for multimedia per- formances. By the late afternoon, things were winding down. Students could enjoy listening to jazz music or watching an excerpt from Outside the Walls, or they could go with some- thing a little more upbeat and learn how to salsa dance. The day was filled with free food and fun. Throughout campus hotdogs, hamburgers, soda, and pretzels were given out courtesy of President Adamany and Temple University. The highlight and final event of the day was from 1:00 to 1:30 when students had the delightful opportunity of actually getting to meet the Pres- ident and shake his hand. R.ichael Anderson
