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.
Being a junior, I felt this year would be a good time to move off-campus and start to get the hang of living on my own. This year, I live in an apartment a few blocks from campus.
As college students born in between the years 1982 and 2000, the majority of Seton Hall students, we are members of what has been dubbed by generation theorist William Strauss as the "Millennial Generation." Another nickname of our generation has sprung about over recent years, the "Boomerang Generation," due to the newfound tendency of young adults to return to their origin homes after living on their own for short periods of time.
The Setonian would like to take the opportunity to applaud Seton Hall for its significant improvement in its sustainability rating by greenreportcard.org.
I am writing to you as a concerned parent. My son is a freshman. Since the start of school, I have sent him four different envelopes though the mail. Three of them he never received, the fourth he received opened, the contents missing and the enveloped taped up. I have spoken to other parents and almost everyone has had a problem getting mail to their student. I have also been told by seniors, that this has been a problem since they were freshman. Why has this been allowed to go on for this long?
