Has this ever happened to you? You have fifteen minutes in between classes, and you're starving. So you swipe into the dining hall using your meal plan and quickly put together a sandwich. As you go to leave the dining hall, you're told that you can't leave with it. You have to go sit down and eat it there. So much for convenience.
The University announced Wednesday that it would be matching the in-state tuition of Rutgers University for qualified incoming freshman. Highly qualified incoming freshman who meet certain criteria in academics, as well as SAT or ACT scores are subject to steep discounts in tuition for their eight semesters at Seton Hall. In total, the University announced the discount would amount to approximately $21,336.
Exactly one year ago this coming Sunday, tragedy struck our community. When Jessica Anne Moore passed away, it no doubt brought this small campus together. The University held a beautiful prayer vigil that weekend, a campus-wide moment of silence, and the University bused those who were close to Moore to Virginia for her funeral. After the vigil, I even remember administrators who I had never met before coming up to me and other Setonian editors asking how we were doing.

Bud Selig's tenure as commissioner of Major League Baseball has been largely successful for a number of reasons, none of which have anything to do with his public relations skills, or lack thereof.
Seton Hall's Department of Public Safety and Security has an obligation to do whatever it may in order to increase the safety of individual students in the area around the South Orange campus, especially when it has knowledge of nearby incidents of crime. This paper has long advocated for the notification of students when these incidents occur.
To the Editor:
I remember coming to Seton Hall as a freshman and knowing that I wanted to get involved on campus. I remember walking around the involvement fair and looking at all the options I had with clubs and organizations. I remember feeling really overwhelmed.
The Department of Public Safety and Security and South Orange Police Department should be commended for their decision to expand and implement new Unversity's safety measures. If any single issue is perennially present at Seton Hall, it is the safety and security of students in the vicinity of campus.
In the four or more years that many of us will spend at this University, or in any university for that matter, we will continuously be given advice. This advice will come from our families, friends, professors and from people from all different walks of life. We will be told to make friends, to study hard, and almost always, most importantly, be told to get involved.
When I began my career at Seton Hall three long years ago, all of my professors, and the upperclassmen I met kept stressing the importance of getting involved on-campus. As a semi-confused journalism major not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with my eventual degree, I took the advice and promised myself that I would hit the ground running when the opportunity presented itself.
As syllabus week ends and the real work begins, many students may find themselves surrendering to the monotony: go to class, do your homework, cram for the midterm, try to complete all the readings and finish the paper at the last minute. School is hard, sometimes tedious, and does not always leave space for a student to put forth a personal, creative effort. But let's face it: when looking back on your four (or more) years in college, will you remember every single class, or the memories you made when you were showing SHU the real you?
Seton Hall students are urged to comply with the University's hurricane preparedness measures.
Asking Gov. Christie to speak at a university commencement exercise is a bit like inviting Charlie Sheen to speak at an AA convention. You just don't do it. Not when the choice of commencement speaker is always a statement about what a university values.
The South Orange Performing Arts Center's decision to work with five Seton Hall students and conduct a market research survey shows the organization is committed to improving its programming and appeal more to students.
For the better part of the last three-plus years, my Sunday morning has started the same way. My alarm chimes relentlessly at 5:30 a.m. until I muster the will to get out of bed.
In the past two years, I've been called everything from an idiot to Rush Limbaugh to, perhaps most offensive of all, a Nickleback sympathizer. Fellow students, (former) friends and even complete strangers have excoriated me in print, message boards and personal emails, all because of a 450-500 word review of a CD.
