Peddy defeats rival Rutgers

In the last few seasons, a spirited rivalry has developed between the women’s basketball team and Rutgers, but Temple got the best of its tri-state rival Wednesday night. Lifted by a pair of clutch free throws from junior guard Shey Peddy in the game’s final seconds, the Owls defeated the Scarlet Knights, 60-58, in a [...]

Pushing for wins on the road

WASHINGTON, D.C. – After a lackluster performance in the Old Spice Classic, where Temple went 1-2, the men’s basketball team responded with back-to-back road wins against Central Michigan and Maryland. The 2-5 Chippewas were a tougher matchup than they looked on paper, and the Owls needed a huge second half to secure the 65-53 Dec. [...]

Landlords and living conditions

Derek Kingcade and his family have lived in their current apartment for more than two years. The 30-year-old resident has two pet peeves with his home: the neighbors who live above him and his landlord. “[The neighbors] are older than I am, and they party a lot and drink a lot,” Kingcade said. “I don’t [...]

Re: The Nov. 24 blood drive held in memory of Kevin Coffey

Dear Editor, We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the Temple community in supporting “Keep the Drive Alive,” the American Red Cross blood drive held Nov. 24 in memory of our son, Kevin Coffey. Kevin was a sophomore honors student at Temple who lost his life in a Sept. 11 bus crash in [...]

Private-part talk

Personal hygiene advertisements unfairly cater to men’s insecurities and fail to properly discuss vaginal health. My vagina is itchy. I am going to pull on my black hooded sweatshirt and comb my hair in front of my face so no one will recognize me. Better yet, I should call off work and skip class because [...]

Stressing gym etiquette

Students using the IBC Student Recreation Center must show more consideration for their peers. There seems to be quite the epidemic spreading across the workout facilities on Main Campus. Before you panic, I’m not referring to any new disease or crazy fungus but rather, a wave of rude behavior. People should understand that, because the [...]

Matching results with TSG’s intentions

Temple Student Government should focus less on in-house policies and more on issues students can relate to. For the better half of the Spring 2010 semester, I spent my Monday nights drowning in the sound of a group of students debating bills in barely coherent political babble. For my sanity, I stopped attending these Temple [...]

Living Options

Students must consider multiple factors when seeking off-campus homes. Living away from home is a perk for many who attend a four-year institution. After years of living with their families, students get to experience life on their own in dormitories and create new homes for themselves while taking classes, getting involved in extracurricular activities and [...]

Melding Lifestyles

Students should mature and keep their neighbors in mind while drinking. At the beginning of the Fall 2010 semester, The Temple News made a resolution to increase coverage of the community surrounding Main Campus. We’ve stayed true to our goal. Each week, we send a reporter into Main Campus’ surrounding neighborhood to ask community members [...]
