Dear Editor:
As a staunch defender of free speech, I can’t say much when Temple University is visited by people whose views I find abhorrent. I am thrilled when I see student protestors of any stripe on campus holding up signs and chanting about something that they truly believe in. But I cannot stomach days of [...]

We wish to respond to the false claims made in the editorial “Dissing Orientation” [Nov. 6, on a student group criticizing Temple's past].
Many of the claims in the editorial are open to interpretation, but one of its central assertions is objectively false. The author claims that “[I]t is lazy and disingenuous to suggest Temple has [...]

Dear Editor:
My senior seminar art class has a problem: gallery space for our final art show. I am asking you and your readers for any potential spaces or suggestions on finding a large, decent gallery space. Oh, and did I mention in a short amount of time for a short amount of money? The show [...]

I, like you, attended the recent “10,000 Men” rally held on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2007, at the Liacouras Center.

In response to “Study: Alcohol increases chance of breast cancer by 30 percent.”
Dear Editor:
As a Ph.D. scientist and Napa Valley winemaker devoted to the cause of ending breast cancer, this issue hits very close to home. We have thoroughly researched the scientific literature and found the following:

Wish you could be on television? Temple’s TV station closed down in 1995 to gather funds for the Liacouras Center. There are no positions available and no station exists.
A lot of things are learned from doing. So whether you want your awesome documentary to be broadcast across five counties (yes, it could happen) or want [...]

I sat there, eyes swollen and nerves on end as my teller in the Student Financial Services office told me the new balance of my bill. It was early August and I had just received my final package.
I filed my FAFSA twice. Not once. Twice. SFS took the second date as the official date of [...]

As students at Temple, we are extremely pleased that Temple has recognized their power and duty to improve the working conditions of AlliedBarton security
guards on our campus. For more than three years, the Temple administration has stepped back and allowed the injustices on our campus to continue. Last Friday, the
administration finally heard the demands of [...]

Dear Beloved Football Stars of Temple University,
Another season is here and another year of hoping for a winning football season in vain. I have been at this university for six years now and have prayed for season after season of just .500 football, and yet I still wake up in cold sweats from the nightmares [...]
