SHANELL SIMMONS I While there have been an insurmountable number of disputes on Temple's campus, there is one ongoing fight in particular that takes the cake. The only way to solve the ongoing beef is to throw on the boxing gloves and let the punches be thrown. Without further adieu; in the right corner is the traditional three-story tall Samuel Paley library. In the left corner is the modern day two-story tall Tech Center. The entire student body is in attendance shouting words of encouragement for their prospective contender. The game faces are on. so let the fight begin! “Paley hands down has more resources. From the thousands of books in stock to the online databases. it's always my first choice to do work in. I only go to the Tech Center if I know I need a computer.'’ Nicole Goolsby, a junior human resource management major, said. Paley Library is centrally located on Main Cam- 1

pus and holds a substantial amount of the University Libraries’ book and journal collections. It has an extensive database service and includes information in most subject areas. There is a reference desk upon entering for students who need any kind of assistance. A mini-cafe is accessible on the first floor as well for students whose stomachs begin to growl or throats beg for replenishment while studying. While students cheer on Paley, others yell words of opposition and speak encouraging words in the name of the Tech Center. They believe the Tech Center is better because in addition to all it has to offer, there is a Starbucks, and who doesn’t love a frappuccino to accompany you when studying? said Alexandra Olivier, a junior magazine journalism major. More than the coffeehouse or cafe options available are the actual attributes each offers. The library is better than the Tech because people are actually there to help you. I know there are workers who help with computer-related issues but that doesn’t quite compare to getting constructive help with papers or learning how to do research, Goolsby said. The Tech Center is respected greatly by a range of students because, unlike Paley, it is open 24 hours almost every day and is the largest of its kind in the nation. There are 700 computers, 13 breakout rooms, specialized labs and designated social spaces for students to lounge and watch TV. The library, on the other hand, has 96 computers on the first floor and 20 computers on both the second and third floor for a combined total of 136 computers. “The Tech Center has a more comfortable feel. There are more modern resources there -better quality computers, faster computers, and newer equipment. Theo Davis, a senior finance major, said. “I usually go the Tech three to four times a week, and especially if I need accessible computers.” Samone Kyles, a junior biochemistry major feels otherwise. I like the library and I come here way more than I do the Tech because typically, people in my major come to study in the library. The only time I really go to the Tech is when I’m forced to do certain assignments that require me to use their software.” Kyles said. While the Tech Center doesn’t allow food by the computer areas and enforces everyone to speak at a whisper, the library is more lenient with both noise volume and with their food policies. Although there are a few comfortable chairs in the Tech Center for those who want to be completely cozy while doing work, the library has a larger variety of other social spaces for people to work away from sitting in front of a computer. “I like the social aspect of the Tech Center. It's more relaxing and comfortable, Davis said. I have no particular preference, but usually when writing an essay. I like to go to Paley because it’s connected to Tuttleman Learning Center where the Writing Center is located, Alexis Boney, a senior communications major, said. Preferences for Paley library and the Tech Center range greatly. There is no set ratio for students who favor one over the other, but like seasons change, as do people's preferences. The fight has been labeled a tie because there has been no knockout and both contenders have called out at the same time. Both Paley and the Tech have decided that they both serve resources that are necessary for all students and have simply agreed that the feud, although ongoing, is constructive.
