Black Hawk Down

Posted on by

It seems as though 12 p.m. really is the universal hour to munch on some midday food – for humans and animals.  Outside Annenberg Hall, a hawk swooped down for a quick snack after his magazine writing class.  While most people would prefer a tuna fish sandwich from the Lucky Cup, Big Bird over here would rather peck into a nice juicy squirrel.  One student called it a spectacle.  If these images turn your beer-gut stomachs in knots, read on Grace Dickinson‘s opinion article about a healthy vegan/vegetarian alternative diet in The Temple News.

It case the hawk didn’t know, Annenberg Hall has an atrium, not an aviary.

Zumba is a great way to burn off some serious calories, but I’d rather learn how to Dougie any day.  People will do crazy things to get their 15-minutes of fame and these four girls tore up the student section at the Georgetown basketball game last night at the Liacouras Center.  Someone please contact the the Fitness Coordinator Crista Sandner at the IBC Recreation Center and have her hire these Owls as dance instructors. Got to love that school spirit!

A Hoya Amongst the Owls

They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but this is just down right betrayal.  Spotted: Looks like the Cherry and White has got itself its own Benedict Arnold, but to infiltrate Owl territory by posing as a Temple student is sheer genius.  Better watch out TU because it seems like this curious George is recruiting an army of misfit boys.  Whatever happened to loyalty?

Dreaming of American Citizenship

On Nov. 12, students from Temple for a DREAM held a rally to promote the proposed DREAM Act.  The act the group is encouraging for approval would allow students who were brought to the United States as children to have an opportunity at citizenship, to receive student loans and to enlist in the U.S. military.

With signs plastered over the Bell Tower, Jessica Arce, a sophomore film and urban studies major, said the group has put a lot of its faith in Senator Harry Reid, who has promised to bring the DREAM Act to a vote during the Lame-Duck Session.

Temple for a DREAM consists of documented and undocumented students who aim to raise awareness of immigration issues within Temple’s and Philadelphia’s community.

Should students who immigrated to America as children be allowed the rights Temple for a DREAM advocates?
