Crunch Time Sometime around the middle of each semester, professors find it necessary to issue a test that will determine how often their students were sleeping or daydreaming instead of learning about the conservation of momentum or the effect of Socrates and Plato on modern literature. After months and months of hard work, everything culminates into one exam that is taken within two hours. Depending upon one ' s teacher, the test can mean more or less to one ' s grade. Studying for finals and mid- terms is just as the cliches in any mov- ie about college would propagate. Caf- feine is consumed in mass quantities in the vain attempt to outsmart the biological clock that would otherwise have students in a deep slumber. For students who love to cram all night. there are workout sessions in the Inde- pendence Blue Cross Center, where they can take a break from their all- night study session to relieve some stress. The library is open 24 hours to accommodate students who need more study time. Another noticeable change on campus is the newfound silence in the dorms due to 24-hour quiet hours. One sure thing about fi- nals is that they were here for all those yesterdays. And no matter how much one hates them, they will be here for all those tomorrows to come! — Ryan Dalev Photo By: Marcel Reedus The final projects film majors must do take numer ous hours of group cooperation.

Joining campus organizations is a great way to meet people, gain new and exciting experiences and have a great time all at once. There are so many different kinds of organizations and ways to get involved at Temple, ranging from Temple Student Govern- ment and NAACP to various social and academic sororities and fraterni- ties, such as Delta Sigma Theata or Phi Sigma Pi. With an abundance of choices, sometimes the hardest part is choosing which organizations are right for you. Here at Temple, belonging to organizations will give you a chance to mix and mingle with other students while getting you actively involved with something you enjoy. At the end of your Temple experience, you will look back and realize tha t belonging to an organization has made you a well-rounded person. Being a part of an organization helps you discover who you are, forges friendships that will last a lifetime and creates mem- ories that will always bring a smile to your face. The friends and mem- ories that you make now. from your involvement with organizations, will enrich your Temple experience, as well as your life, and add to your happiness in all of your tomorrows to come. — Kristin Bovd and Milli Protheroe Photo By: Victa Walsh Mioto H : Vick Walsh A member of the nnnc Club smiles prettj in Vijaj Thillainathan, President of Student the Village, loeated on the second floor of National Medical Association makes time s ( to hit the books in SNM W office.
