When students woke up on Tuesday morning, freezing rain had coated the Seton Hall campus and South Orange in ice. The University proceeded to hold classes despite slick walkways on campus and icy roads.
With the third week of the Spring semester in full swing, students are buckling down and getting to work on their incoming assignments. Or they should be, at least.
In recent years, student sections around the country have begun to become household names. Whether you're a part of the "Cameron Crazies" at Duke or the "Oakland Zoo" in Pittsburgh, visiting teams have begun to fear road games because of student sections.
Before Tuesday night's monumental upset of Syracuse, hearing Pirates fans complain about first year men's basketball head coach Kevin Willard was as common as finding Bobby Gonzalez browsing through the men's handbag section of a department store.
The first full week of the semester is here once again. A big chapter or milestone comes along in life and most people make certain goals for these starting points. Starting to work out more, eat healthier; do better in school or work. I am certainly guilty of making these goals or end results of a new time in my life. But I was thinking this morning what is it that makes us find these new chapters as moments to start bettering ourselves. And what is our society's constant need to better ourselves and where does it stem from?
In The Setonian's front page story this week, "Students get plastered," six residents of Serra Hall found themselves sealed into their suite.
The Setonian would like to congratulate Dr. A. Gabriel Esteban on his permanent appointment to the position of University President. While we are pleased with his appointment, we wish that the presidential replacement process would have been more transparent and inclusive of the University Community.
As the official undergraduate student newspaper, The Setonian has made every effort to bring the Seton Hall community the latest news on the presidential transition process. Unfortunately, we have not had much to report.
How would you label this fall semester? I would suggest starting with the terms "challenging" and "exhausting."
Though intramurals at Seton Hall are intended to be all fun and games, the majority of participating students take them very seriously. Those who have been fortunate enough to win a championship t-shirt know that with that prize comes a sense of pride and elation that seems almost unmatchable.
As students plan walkouts and voice their outrage about Seton Hall's on-campus security, I think we should spend a moment to commend the library for reverting back to 24/7 hours for final exams. The library will begin extended hours starting Dec. 6, nine days before final examinations officially take place.

One of the things I enjoy most about college classes is the ability to use my laptop during class (professor permission granted, of course), but I have noticed permissible laptop use has dwindled over my past three years in undergraduate education.
In light of Nov. 16's late night sexual assault of a female student as she attempted to leave the Walsh Library and Nov. 13's assault and mugging of two females students across the street from campus on South Orange Ave., The Setonian believes Seton Hall must take definitive and clear action to inform students of the steps it is taking to provide for their safety.
It's time to start making the caf a nicer place for students throughout the open time instead of just when it opens for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Some students feel that this job is just for the Gourmet Dining Service (GDS) workers but it relies on students to keep the caf clean throughout the day.
The Setonian believes the University should be realistic in any policies it sets regarding the consumption or possession of Four Loko on campus. Seton Hall must realize that any ban or restrictions regarding the drink will, in effect, be superficial as students will find ways to circumvent the policies.
