'Ello Tuesday
The date is Tuesday, October 13 and the Cherry and What has your back.
Weather: The weather kicks it up a tiny notch today, hovering in the 60's for the majority of the day with some sunshine. But then, it's back to the 40's by night time. Mmmmm. 40'ssss.
Good stuff from the Temple Today:
Homecoming Walk & Run: Campus safety services is putting on this little shindig in honor of homecoming, and, ya know, personal health. The starting place is 13th and Berks Streets, and then 1k walk starts at noon with the 5k run at 12:30. Trophies will be provided to the winners. Refreshments will be provided to the losers.
Best decorated room contest: Want a bunch of strange people to walk through your dorm room, examine your shit, and then judge you for it? Well it's your lucky today because you can still register for this contest if you live in one of the dorms. Word on the street is that they're handing out a bottle of Bacardi Raz to the winners.
Ok so this Blake Mycoskie dude seems pretty legit and he's speaking tonight at 7 p.m. in the SAC 200. He started TOMS shoes in 2006, and has given like 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need ever since. Bill Clinton even praised him for being such a great, smart guy, and also donated several pairs of high heels. Mycoskie is going to be giving an inspirational speech, so might wanna check this one out fo' rill.
If you're at Ambler, and you're a senior, it's picture day! We suggest the forest green background.
Cirque Du Soleil. It starts, today. Last time we mention it. Swears.
Also, it's Tuesday...and we think you know what that means! Ok, it means that the new edition of the Temple News is coming out today, as their website has already started rolling out new content. So make sure you check that out.
Disclaimer: Best decorated room contest is not actually handing out Bacardi Raz as a prize.

It's Monday night and PHILLLLIESS!!
The C&W would just like to take a moment and congratulate the Philadelphia Phillies for winning the National League Divisional Series in classic phightin' phils fashion. Bring on the Dodgers. For those wondering, it appeared relatively quiet on Temple's campus tonight after the win. I think we all expect to see much more from our world champion Phillies.
In other news, Temple's community service efforts paid off, as we were listed on a national honor roll for Universities who give back to local communities. The downside? UPenn took home first place and Drexel also made the ranked list. We'll get 'em next year.
In some more kinda bad news, p
hillyist.com ripped into the Wolgin Art competition today. Their main gripes were that the panel didn't follow guidelines in selecting the competitors. The prize was supposed to be for "emerging artists," and their post claims that the artists selected are already well established, and goes on to condemn pretty much everyone involved. Art wars, round two?

Art wars, round two?Also, check out this article about Temple alum/football stand out/super bowl champion/business owner Raheem Brock. You know that wingstop over at Avenue North? Yea, he owns that jawn, and is in the process of opening another one in Philly. Making the Cherry and White proud, Raheem.
Speaking of Temple football, peep this article on Jaiquawn Jarrett taking home MAC defensive player of the week honors. The dude had 9 tackles, 5 of them solo, two picks, a fumble recovery, and a break-up. For those who don't know, that's friggin' nuts. Congrats and thanks for the win dude.
Prof David Jacobs, UFO extraordinaire, at it again. This time the "alien abductions and hybrid" expert is attending the Pittsburgh UFO Conference this weekend. And we're not talking Prius-hybrids, we're talking alien human baby-hybrids. So glad this guy is a teacher here.
Once again, don't forget to pick up your Lupe Fiasco, Bob Dylan, and Cirque Du Soleil tickets, all on sale now at http://www.liacourascenter.com/. Damn, what is with the C&W and their advertising for that place. We should like, ask them for some dough.
Thanks for reading, we'll see ya bright and sunny tomorrow.

Blame it on the Phi-i-i-il-i-ili-il-iessss
Here's your weekend news, brought to you in delayed fashion by the Philadelphia Phillies, Denver, Colorado, and 30 degree weather!
So how many of you have transferred in to Temple only to have a shit-load of your credits not count? For the rest of you, how many times have you heard your friends complain about that? Well rejoice, Temple has joined a state-wide "transfer and articulation system,"
discussed in this article on Pennsylvania's education budget. We have unethically lifted the important section here:
Hooray!
How many of you have gotten a parking ticket, or one, or two, or twenty, from the Philadelphia Parking Authority? How many of you have a shit-ton of your friends complai
n about them? Who hates the PPA? So does the Drexel student who penned this article that discusses the evil empire that is the PPA, even so far as going to call them "gestapo" and "zombies." Nazi zombies? The article includes a quote from Temple's own Sean Feely, who correctly identified the PPA as "probably corrupt" and talks about how he uses his bike instead. Temple University students: mean and green, baby.
This Temple study found that teenagers lack emotional responsibility. Nooooooo way!!?! Seriously though, its findings were a bit more interesting than that, finding that higher levels of reasoning develop before emotional maturity, explaining why smart kids do dumb things.
I guess somebody let Philly.com in on the Wolgin Award, because they just released this lengthy article reviewing the competition and offering some in-depth description of the exhibits. According to the article, the exhibits are " attracting a steady stream of visitors, many of them students." Really? Please cite sources. Either way, the article puts a much more interesting spin on the exhibit, which makes us, you know, actually want to see it.
Check out this op-ed by Temple University associate professor Jason Del Gandio as he sounds off on why Obama doesn't deserve the Nobel peace prize. Angry, crazy right-winger, you may be asking? Nope, clear-headed liberal who doesn't think his dude has done enough yet. Little lonely at the top Obama? It's ok, play basketball!
In sporting news..TEMPLE FOOTBALL HAS A WINNING RECORD. Holy shit
! The Owls pulled out an ugly 23-19 win over 0-6 Ball State on Saturday afternoon, but no matter as it is the Owls third straight win, giving them a 3-2 winning record for the first time since about the invention of the Temple T. We missed snapping the picture, but one Temple fan's shirt said it best: "Suck My Balls State." Photo courtesy of Owlsports.com.
In other sports news, women's soccer and men's soccer picked up W's, 3-2 over Duquesne and 2-1 over St. Hoe's, respectively. Field Hockey lost 4-0 to the St. Joe's Faux and women's soccer also lost to St. Bonaventure 2-1. Somewhere, people played golf.
Thanks for reading, we like, have class, but we'll have the week look-out up by early afternoon. Until then, enjoy the cold weather, and don't forget Dylan tickets went on sale at 10 this morning!

discussed in this article on Pennsylvania's education budget. We have unethically lifted the important section here:"In addition, the budget legislation includes a dramatic expansion of
Pennsylvania's successful Transfer & Articulation System, which ensures that
students receive the maximum possible credits when they move from one college
to another. Nearly 3 in 5 college students start at one institution and finish
at another, yet loss of credit when they transfer drives up tuition costs for
Pennsylvania families.
Under the new law, students will be able to transfer from community colleges
to the State System and earn full credit entering as a university junior and,
for the first time, Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh and Temple
University will participate in the state's transfer system by agreeing to
accept and fully recognize 30 course credits in time for the next academic
year."

News catch-up
We know we haven't posted. Sorry, we're college kids too! Luckily, the news doesn't stop for us...
First, we've got an award to give out. We need to crown the first "Temple's Biggest A
sshole Alumni," a distinction given to the worst alumni Temple has to offer. Bill Cosby? Nah. Bob Saget? NOO! Dr. Christine Daniel? Bingo. This med school graduate was just arrested in California for offering a bogus cancer treatment, in which she promised a 60% cure rate and raked in over $1,000,000. At least 3 dozen people who followed her false instructions died, a number of whom took her option instead of normal treatment. If convicted of fraud, she could face up to 80 years. Latteerrr Christineee.
Thankfully there is this article on Hall & Oates to remind us that not all Temple alumni are really weird or pseudo-murderers.
In other news, the Liacouras Center continues its big week in the media, as it's now drawing attention for the December 2nd boxing match headed by Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and Enrique Ornelas. The fight will be televised nationally on the Versus network, giving our arena some great exposure. Now, about getting a UFC/WEC here...
The Wolgin Arts contest is starting to draw some attention, as it is featured in this
artinfo.com article. The article goes through an in-depth analysis of the award, competitors, and their work, and is definitely worth checking out for anyone interested. Did you know Jack Wolgin, who's the man behind the competition and it's $150,000 prize, is the dude who made that giant clothes pin? And we're talking about the one in Center City, not the Bell Tower.
The Broad&Cecil again has a good post about Philly happening, as they have alerted everyone that the Philly sales tax increased from 7% to 8%. Think that's a bunch of bull? Fight the power and take one penny from the "take a penny-leave a penny" tray for every dollar you spend. The C&W... providing great tips for college kids since 2009.
Finally, check out this Temple Times article highlighting efforts made on Temple's campus during National Coming Out Week. In honor of National Coming Out Week, we're posting this Lewis Black shtick making fun of ignorant people in our country, particularly our former Senator Rick Santorum.
Check back later tonight for your weekender!

"We are of course talking about pop/rock/soul virtuoso, John Oates. He is 50% of the most successful duo of all time, Hall and Oates. John along with Daryl Hall met at Temple University, where they formed the union."Chyea!

Thirstday!
It's Thursday, October 8, and the C&W has your back.
Weather: Weather looks like it's holding up pretty decently, with temperatures in the mid to high 60's and sunny by day, falling to the high 50's overnight.
Good stuff from the Temple Today:
Today is the deadline for a submission for Fox' annual innovation award thingy. $2,500 in prizes are up for grabs. So if you have any worthwhile innovations just lying around, ya know buried in your dirty laundry or something, might want to think about submitting it.
Hey upperclassmen, still want a job after you graduate? Attending this career expo from 12-4 in the SAC 200 might help. This is a serious one; juniors and seniors only, professional dress required, and the jobs will be pro-internships and full-time positions.
If you have some time to spare between 12:30 and 1:50 might want to stop by by the 10th floor of Gladfel
ter for a presentation on Georgia O'Keefe, the famous 1920 artists who did stuff like the painting shown here.

See ya later humpday
Congrats, the worst is over. Tomorrow is Thursday, and you've made it to the college weekend!
You're also ugly! Or so says a new study ranking major U.S. cities in several different categories, which we found via this BAC post today. It's okay, we're also cultured...everybody loves a cultured person!
In other news, check out this story about Temple University teaming up with St. Luke's hospital to open up a new medical school in Lehigh county in the summer of 2011. So what does that all mean for Temple students? Not a clue!
Did you know Cirque du Soleil is coming to Temple University from October 13-16th? That would be next Tuesday through Friday. They're performing "Alegria," which is apparently one of their most popular productions. Peep this article for more details. How much, you may be asking? Ooo, only $45- $95 for adults. D'oh!
Want to be a water boy/girl for the women's basketball team? The athletics site announced that they're looking for a "scout team" of full time Temple students to "participate in drills with the players, receive instruction from the coaching staff(get the water), and simulate opponent plays." Sounds like a barrel of laughs!
Last not but least, if you have some time to kill and haven't looked recently, check out the Temple Times website, as they have just posted a bunch of interesting enough articles. Ya got your Temple author analyzing the Starbucks culture, Michael Dell paying a visit to campus, and a story on a new play, The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, about the 1998 murder of Matthew Shephard.
That's all for tonight, rather slow news days. Thanks for reading and we'll catch ya in the a.m.

The day of hump
It's Wednesday, October 7th, and it's friggin' humpday.Weather: Appropriately, the weather has taken a turn for the worse. Cloudy and windy in the mid 60's by day, clear and cool in the low to mid 50's by night.
Good stuff from the Temple Today:
Have trouble managing your time? Get stressed out and lose sleep because of it? Yea, us too! Might wanna check out this 11 a.m. workshop in Suite 101 of the Academic Resource Center to learn out to manage your time more effectively. Then again, that would require time management to go to. Might be screwed here.
Poli sci peeps, we have a juicy discussion going on today: "Why the Reed Rules?: The Post-Reconstruction South, Republican Party-building, and Congressional Development." Given by a guest lecturer from Swathmore, in Gladfelter 914 at 1 p.m.
Opening of the Temple Community Gardens! Yup, the ribbon will be cut on the new gardens at 2:30 today, so make sure you stop by afterwards and check it out.
Are you a slob when you eat? Would you scare off potential employees by ordering a hotdog from the children's menu and then proudly displaying it as you chew? Check out this etiquette dinner, where they will rap your knuckles with a ruler every time you mess up and whip you into proper shape. $15 bucks gets you the three course meal and instruction, at 5 pm in Mitten Hall.
Other stuff going on:
PHILLLLLLLIEEESSS!! The Phils open their 2009 postseason campaign at home tonight against the wildcard Colorado Rockies. Lee will get the start in game one, as Charlie says he is a bit fresher than Cole Hamels. The Phils could use some revenge against the Rockies after they swept them from the 2007 NLDS, so Go Phillies! Game time is 2:37 on TBS.
Also, Councilwomen Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez of the 7th District will be on campus to talk on Latino issues as part of Latino Heritage Month tonight. She'll be in the SAC 217CD at 7 pm, so stop by if that's your thing.
Last but not least, don't forget to go see Temple Theater's Sweet Charity before it closes! Here is the rest of the schedule: Wed 10/7 730pm, Thu 10/8 730pm, Fri 10/9 8pm, Sat 10/10 8pm, Sun 10/11 2pm.
