Temple University in Philadelphia asks community to remain vigilant after assaults on 2 students

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Temple University is asking students and staff to remain vigilant after campus police say three teenagers attacked two students Tuesday night.
Police say two 13-year-olds and a 15-year-old were taken into custody in connection to the incidents.
The teens are accused of assaulting a student at 11th Street and Montgomery Avenue at around 10:20 p.m. on Tuesday, police said.
Authorities say the teens later assaulted and stole the backpack of another student 20 minutes later at Cecil B. Moore Station on SEPTA's Broad Street Line. The student's backpack was later recovered by police.
The incident comes as students are moving into on-campus housing with the fall semester scheduled to start next Monday.
Senior student Carl Borgstrom said he lives near one of the incidents.
"I usually feel like the campus is a safe haven, so hearing that and hearing it's so close to my apartment, it's definitely a little bit scary," he said.
Mark Foster's son, Brandon, is an incoming freshman at the school. He also said it's concerning to hear of the attacks. Foster believes campus security has improved.
"Hopefully, it's just an isolated incident," he said.
Youth violence continues to be an issue in the city.
Now, Philadelphia police are reminding young people a curfew is still in effect.
A young person between the ages of 14 and 18 violates the curfew if they're out past 10 p.m. without a parent. It's the same for teens under the age of 13 if they're out past 9:30 p.m. The teens and their caregivers could be fined up to $300 for violating curfew.
Philadelphia police say they continue to enforce it throughout the city but Jennifer Griffin, Temple's police chief and vice president of public safety, said a citation will only go so far.
"That doesn't solve the underlying issue that they have nothing to do or they don't want to engage in the programs that are available," she said.
Griffin said campus police continue to work with Philadelphia police on ways to improve campus safety, but she says it's important to note crime is down campuswide.
"We've seen good decreases in aggravated assaults and vehicle thefts," Griffin said. "We continue to increase and leverage this strategy that we have with our police officers and how we work with the city and how we are using technology, so we feel very good with where we are positioned at the beginning of the semester."

Temple introduces new head tennis coach
Jeff Brandes will oversee both the men’s and women’s tennis programs, and he was officially introduced Wednesday morning at The Liacouras Center
Jeff Brandes was formally introduced as Temple’s new Director of Tennis Wednesday morning in The Liacouras Center. The conference was attended by Athletic Director Arthur Johnson and several fellow Temple coaches.
Brandes joins Temple after serving as the men’s and women’s head tennis coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University since 2016. Brandes has collected multiple coaching awards, including earning the Landmark Conference Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2011 while at Drew University.
“This is awesome. Thank you to everybody, I have never felt more welcomed,” Brandes said at the press conference. “On the Zoom call for the first interview, I felt welcomed. On the campus visit day, I felt welcomed. Even though I got lost on campus I still felt like I’ve been here forever because everyone is so welcoming. It’s amazing. I’m so happy to be an Owl.”
Brandes will be tasked with taking the place of Steve Mauro, who announced he would not be returning to Temple on June 5. The longtime head coach oversaw the men’s tennis team for 19 seasons and the women’s tennis teams for 16 seasons. Mauro left Temple as the program’s all-time winningest tennis coach.
Brandes will be the first beneficiary of the new tennis courts being built next to Geasey Field, which are expected to be completed by the end of September.
“We are excited to have Coach Brandes join our team to lead and develop our tennis student-athletes,” Johnson wrote in a statement when Brandes was hired on Aug. 7. “His passion for tennis and his commitment to excellence on and off the court have been evident over his impressive coaching career. I want to thank our student-athletes through this process and the committee for bringing us great candidates to consider.”

Just taking my time, I did a complete 360° walk around the exterior of the Temple. Then I was fortunate in that the interior was open to visitors. Again very calm and peaceful. There is a small gift shop that seems quite out-of-place being located inside of the Temple but the reality of life is that it takes money to maintain such a facility.
If you have any interest in Buddhism, this is a must-visit attraction. It is well maintained. As with any Buddhist Datsan that I have ever visited, it is calm and peaceful. A real refuge from the hustle and the bustle of Chita. Just taking my time, I did a complete 360° walk around the exterior of the Temple.
