Today in front of the Student Center DC rap artist Wale meet with fans. As his tour bus drove down 13th street students crowded the bus and ran a quick lap down Polett Walk and the artist quickly returned back to his tour bus. Wale was said to come today around 1pm but actually showed up at 4pm leaving a lot of anxious and even angry fans.
It has arrived! The day you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Oh wait, no, people still misuse they’re/their/there and incorrectly punctuate their sentences. They’re sentences? Whatever.
I digress. AP Style has released new T-shirts for sale on its website so you and all your journalism junkies and radio roadies can coordinate at the next Comma-Con. And for $18, this wouldn’t make a bad Halloween costume, either.

Last year’s documentary Wild West of Broad won Best Documentary Student Film at First Glance Film Festival this past week.
Wild West of Broad chronicles the changes within the North Philadelphia community over the past several decades. The neighborhood’s interactions with Temple and its ensuing effects have resonated throughout each block in the area and far beyond the expanding confines of Temple’s Main Campus. Told through the narratives of those who have seen these changes occur, this documentary explores how the community has come to this point and what the future may hold.
Temple students are no different from any other college when it comes to blogging. Whether it’s fashion, sports or music there is a blog to cater to most specific of topics. One blogger choose to venture from the usual and start a blog of campus “cuties” spotted at the Tech Center called “Tech Temptations”. Some of the photos are candid but hilarious none the less. I’m interested to see where this goes.
Dan Trachtenberg, a 2003 film and media arts alumnus, was recently hired by Universal Studios to direct “Crime of the Century,” a science fiction/action flick not to be confused by a TV movie of the same name about the Lindberg kidnapping, produced in 1996.
According to the School of Communications and Theater, this is Trachtenberg’s first time directing a feature-length film. His prior directorial experience includes a short film, “Portal: No Escape,” which was the second highest rated video in the film and animation section on Youtube.
Temple student Adylia-Rhenee Gutierrez was featured on philly.com this week.

Despite having two rushers eclipse 100 yards, the Owls lost to Bowling Green, 13-10 Saturday afternoon.
Junior running backs Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown rushed for 107 and 119 yards, respectively, but the Owls weren’t able to get anything going in the passing game all day. Senior-redshirt quarterback Chester Stewart went 7-13 passing for just 66 yards.
Falcons’ sophomore quarterback Matt Schilz completed 20 passes for 204 yards, including a clutch 24-yard touchdown pass on 4th down halfway through the 4th quarter that was the difference in the game.
