News/Weekend

News update:

A few things going on over the past 24 hours.

First, more Temple Football. Damn, I guess winning 7 games gets your team just a little bit of media attention. This article is a bit different in the rest in that it focuses on Temple maintaining their drive and killer instinct despite the success they've been having, which Al Golden realizes isn't automatic.

Next, check out this piece on the new Hillel center at the corner of Norris and 15th. The center has been open for quite a while now, but this article covers exactly what Hillel is about, as well as some notes on Jewish life and culture.

So you all know the world is going to end in 2012 right? Peep this article on the upcoming disaster of a movie 2012, which quotes Temple prof Ronald Webb arguing why the whole thing is just damn preposterous, boy.
