Homecoming week is when each Temple student bleeds cherry and white. Starting with Fall Fest and ending with the Verizon Wireless Tour featuring the Gym Class Heros, this year there was something for everyone. What made this homecoming so special was that Temple not only was able to defeat Northern Illinois in the football game, but it also marked their first of three consecutive wins. All the events proved to be fun and exciting as students, alumni, staff and others showed their support. By: Jared Vanderzell You support your team at Homecoming: r Get a free turn FROM THE QUEEN... ON THE BEST PART OF HOMECOMING. "When Homecoming week was drawing to a close, and I was getting ready to go to the football game, I really felt like I had already gotten so much from being on the Homecoming Court. I had been in a Pageant in which I was asked on the spot to dance like a Diamond Gem— and anyone who knows me will tell you I am not a dancer! I had stretched and grown and pushed myself to be more confident and outgoing, and most importantly to get to know more about the varied aspects of Temple culture. For me, the experience was invaluable. That Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field, hearing my amazing runningmate Marty's name called for King, being crowned myself, and then watching our Owls win in the last 24 seconds was an absolutely perfect ending to the best week of my Temple career."

here are many performance options available to students at Temple University, and they don't need to be theater, music or dance majors to take advantage of them. As senior Becky Bordo pointed out, there are "different paths available through the school." Students can be a part of the main stage productions or various student-run productions throughout the year. The ability to choose is not the only advantage offered in the School of Communications and Theater. "The amazing faculty provides each student with training and mentorship," Bordo said.

Temple's music department features an orchestra and four different choirs, which are also open for participation from students in all majors. Every year in March, all four choirs and the orchestra combine for a massive concert at the Kimmel Center in Center City. The 2008 performance featured classic pieces by Mozart and Mussorgsky. The music school is also home to a National Opera Association award-winning opera program. Graduate student Christian Bowers said, "The things I like about the opera program are my voice teacher Dr. William Stone and the stage director Laura Johnson. I like the teachers and the classes that they offer."

The dance program at the Ester Boyer College of Music and Dance also features performances throughout the year and is consistently ranked among the top programs in the country. The program offers a bachelor of fine arts, a master of education or fine arts and a doctor of philosophy all in dance. Temple's stellar fine arts programs are certainly a place where all students can participate and enjoy expressing themselves.

At the start of the 2007 season, former oarsman Sean Casey was named to Ireland's men's heavy­ weight 4 for the 2008 Olympics and the Owls were joined by former Owl Kevin Gross as their new assistant coach. Both contributed immensely to the Owls while they were mem­ bers of the team. The fall season started with the Navy Day Regatta, where two men's boats raced.

In the 2007 season, coach Al Golden wanted to prove to the football team that history is just as important as the current situation. In this spirit, the Owls received new uniforms with significant meaning behind them. The new helmet design was modeled after Temple hel­ mets from 1972 to 1988, the jerseys had diamonds on the collar in reference to Temple founder Russell Conwell and the pants were the same style as the 1970 to 1982 era. The 2007 season also marked the official start of the Owls campaign as a full member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC). For the past two seasons, the Owls played as an affiliate. The team fell in its first game against Navy but was very pleased with its new found support from the Temple commu­ nity. "Mission Possible" was launched in April, well before the season started. It was a campaign aiming for maximum attendance to fill the stadium at the sea­ son opener against Navy and brought new attention for the Owls. The season continued with games against Buffalo, East Hartford, Bowl­ ing Green and West Point, all ending in losses. However, with each game the Owls lessened the distance between the teams' scores.

After missing that first one, we knew he needed another chance to make it right. The final kick proved that we came full circle with Jake today." The Owls finished overall with a sea­ son record of 4-8. Brownell was named to the 2007 Academic All-MAC Football Team after playing in all 12 games for the Owls and carried a 3.53 GPA.

Temple's field hockey team was voted to finish in first for the 2007 season by the Atlantic 10 head coaches. That was truly a boost of confidence going into the season. 2006 had been the best season since 1991 for the Owls and set high goals for the 2007 team. Having only lost one player to graduation, Megan Hannahoe, the Owls were ready for anything that came their way. With coach Amanda Janney, the team was led by its three captains, seniors Alii Lokey and Leanne Vogel­ song and junior Mary Catherine Kinneman. The Owls also re­ turned junior Mary Hanshue, who was one of the nation's leading goalkeepers in 2006. The 2007 season ended with Temple's first ever regular sea­ son title, but the Owls lost in the Atlantic 10 semi-finals to Saint Joseph's. The team still had plen­ ty to smile about.

It is hard to win many games when you have a young team full of freshman and only four players who have more than one year's experience. It is not hard, however, to gain experience and teach the fundamentals when you have a young team.

Tumbling, weight training and practice are only a small part of the rigorous workout for the cheerleaders. After football and basketball season, they travel and compete at the Uni­ versal Cheerleaders Association Col­ legiate Championship. "Cheerleading has made my collegiate experience so much better because of the hard work ethics I have learned," said Beverly Henderson. To be a Diamond Gem, you have to have a true passion to dance, and the members of the team show that at every appearance they make. Most of the girls have been dancing for years prior to coming to Temple and con­ tinued here to show their love for the sport.

Cheerleading, Diamond Gems and Band 85 CLUB SPORTS

The concept of a club sport is hard to grasp at times, especially when the same sport may be offered at the Division I level and the intramural level. There is a big difference between the three levels that most students do not know about. When compared to each other in terms of commitment and competitiveness, clubs sports fall between Division I sports and intramural sports. Club sports still re­ quire commitment and dedication from their players, but it is not at the same intensity of Division I. Club sports are managed and run by the players on each individual team. For the 2007-2008 school year, Temple increased the number of club sport teams to 23, a 5-team increase from the previ­ ous year. The number of club sports has steadily increased over the years at Tem­ ple because more and more students are interested in competing in a sport but either Temple does not offer the sport at the Division 1 level or the students do not have enough time to dedicate to a Division 1 team. One of the newest sports to the club sport scene was Temple Paintball. They were previously a student club under the Student Activities office, but got moved to Campus Recreation as a club sport for A Temple player pushes his opponent up against the glass to keep the 2007-2008 year.

The team commutes to their prac­ tice location, and some of their contests require them to travel long distances to compete. "Its not the best feeling in the world after traveling hundreds of miles, running endless sprints, or drilling and practicing all year in every possible con­ dition, but it is the best feeling in the world at the end of the day when you can sit there with the true friends you have made by going through the same battle they go through with you The Men's Rugby team poses after every day to become part of something winning a tournament. bigger then yourself.

Dear Graduates of the Class of 2008:

On behalf of the staff, faculty and Board of Trustees of Temple University, I extend sincere congratulations to you, our newest members of the Temple alumni family.

You are joining an esteemed group of more than 240,000 Temple alumni around the world—men and women who share similar habits of mind. Your thirst for discovery, belief in respectful debate, ability to tap finely honed analytical skills and commitment to our larger community set you apart. You face a complex and changing world, but the education that you take with you into that world will be a defining factor that will help you meet its challenges.

As you begin the next chapter of your life, I urge you to carefully consider your personal and professional goals and commit to pursuing them with integrity and respect for others. Continually nourish your hunger for knowledge, and strive to make a difference in your community and in your world. As Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

All of us at Temple are behind you as you make this important transition, and we are committed to your success throughout your lives. I hope you will look back fondly on your college years and will remain connected to the university by attend­ ing Temple events, visiting campus and supporting its many activities and pro­ grams.

We could not be prouder of all that you have attained. Best wishes to you as you embark on the next stage of a wonderful journey.

Sincerely,

Ann Weaver Hart

There are so many experi­ ences that make up everything behind that coveted piece of validation - the diploma. It is htv difficult to encapsulate the Temple experience, but it can be best understood by examining the school's "acres of diamonds," the phrase founder Russell Conwell used to describe his multifaceted students. Even though every diamond is different, there are many common experi­ ences. Everyone has the same core classes and the same familiar surroundings on campus. Then there are all the papers, projects, group assignments and the all-nighters, the extracurricular

Nicholas Adelizzi activities, the jobs and internships, as well as all the fun with friends. The best way to find out about the real Temple experience is by investigating individual diamonds and their personal experi­ ences, like that of senior history major Jenna Marrone. She said she has learned from an "amazing and highly educated" faculty in her Below: Whitney Harris discipline that gave her an "Ivy League education." The class that tastes her first snail. Study­ set her on her future trajectory was her class exploring the many ing abroad gave her many new experiences. aspects of Benjamin Franklin, which led to an internship at the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks. However, history is not her only interest, and at Temple she has been able to take advantage of the Italian minor while studying abroad in Rome. She has combined her interests in her senior thesis exploring the story of "Women Under the Italian Fascist Regime" in Italy. Even though, as she pointed out, college is an experience that "[goes] by so quickly" it is one that should be taken advantage of. As you go V through the section, investigate the other highlighted diamonds. By: Nicholas Adelizzi 94 Senior Portraits SENIOR HIGHLIGHT: JULIETTA BEKKER

It is hard to believe that you are graduating from college. The time has gone so fast.

Keep your determination and persistence channeled in the right direc­ tion, as they are real assets for you. We are very proud of you and your accomplishments. We wish you all the best in the future and want you to know we'll always be here for you.

I could not have triumphed over the difficult times without something you said or did to give me the strength to make it through whatever it was.

If any mother had one dream for her only child, you have made that dream come true. For the past four years, you have called me saying it was too hard, but in the end you made it through the difficult times. Life will just get harder if you let it. Shari, you have left behind hard for a new path. Please continue on for what you want in life. In the past four years, nobody did it for you but you. • We
