Smiling ban for license photos should be seen positively
By Staff Writer | Oct. 4, 2012For most young people in New Jersey, turning 17 is a joyous time. When you pass your driving test, you gain one of the most desired freedoms among teenagers. Although most of us are past 17 and already have a license, at some point, we are going to have to take another picture and if you live in New Jersey, chances are you will not be smiling.

First parking, now seating: Be courteous
By Editorial Board | Oct. 4, 2012If anyone has been in the commuter cafeteria around lunchtime, between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., you have seen just how crowded this space can get. The lines at Nathan's, the pizzeria and Leaf & Grains are extremely long. Even the line for Pirate Express extends around the coffee machines to the refrigerators. The time to get a meal can take what feels like forever. Then after retrieving your meal the effort is still not over; you have to search or almost stalk someone who is leaving to find a table.

Find enjoyment by getting involved on Seton Hall's campus
By Staff Writer | Oct. 4, 2012When I transferred to Seton Hall University last fall from a community college in California, I was a little apprehensive. I knew I would miss my family and friends back home and our spur-of-the- moment trips to Las Vegas. Not only that, but I would be moving to the other side of the United States, alone.

Parking battlefield distressing for first-time commuter
By Staff Writer | Sep. 26, 2012While it is my third year as a student at Seton Hall, it is my first being a commuter. Although I grew up about 30 minutes away, I am glad that I decided to get the college experience by living in a dorm my first two years. Now, however, I have entered into a whole new world at SHU - a sort of cult if you will - the commuters.
Venturing outside of hometown makes you appreciate life
By Tiffany Do | Sep. 26, 2012People often ask me why I, a Californian, wanted to go to school so far away from home or specifically, "Why Jersey?" with the most condescending, bewildered tone. Please keep in mind that the person asking the question, 95 percent of the time, was a native of New Jersey.
Senior determined to enjoy remainder of time in college

Students: Do not assume alarms are drills
By Editorial Board | Sep. 19, 2012January 19, 2000 is a day that the Seton Hall community will never forget. As students slept, a senseless prank led to a deadly campus fire. It also claimed the lives of three fellow students and left several with serious injuries.
The importance of students supporting all athletic teams
By Staff Writer | Sep. 13, 2012In my three years at Seton Hall, it seems every year around this time that students stop showing up to the sporting events on campus. The first few weeks are filled with students going to soccer games and other team sports but then when weather is not perfect, students become disinterested in attending these games. While in some ways I can understand this, it does not mean you should stop supporting your fellow students on the field.
All it took to fit in was finally taking the advice I give
By Staff Writer | Sep. 13, 2012Sometimes I find it ironic that as a Peer Advisor my job is to help freshmen find their place at our University. I say that because it took two years for me to really come into my own and find my place here at Seton Hall. Talk about not taking your own advice. I think I have always been caught up in doing what others expect me to do and for the first time in my entire life I do things the way I would do them.
Lockout fees not so minor when put into big perspective
By Lindsay Rittenhouse | Sep. 13, 2012As everyone already knows, the cost of attending Seton Hall is a bit pricey. I would not even be able to afford to go here if it were not for the scholarship I received and student loans that help me pay for my time here at Seton Hall.

By Editorial Board | Sep. 12, 2012Have you notice anything new on Seton Hall's campus? There has been an influx of skateboarders riding all around campus.
