Just as creationists all over the country quawk about teaching the theory of volution in public schools, traditional- ists no doubt squirm at the choice of survival or rrriE pittcst la Darwinian concept, as theme for the ■yearbook of a Catholic university. I We contend that Seton Hall University is itself proof of Darwin ' s genius. This institu- tion, 124 years old this year, epitomizes the evolutionist ' s theory of survival through its economics, its academics and, most impor- tantly, its people. After two years of operating in the red, the University now enjoys a balanced budget. Unfortunately, we still face a $7 million deficit, but that has been reduced by $2 million this year alone. The Univer- sity ' s big brass are optimistic that Seton Hall will completely be in the black within the next few years — not bad for an institution that had critically severe financial problems when the class of 1981 were freshmen. Enhancing Seton Hall ' s ability to survive are its faculty and several prestigious academic programs. For instance, the Asian Studies department ' s program is one of the most extensive in the country. Under the Chinese exchange program, Seton Hall stu- dents study half-way around the world while Chinese students get their education here in South Orange. To run these programs, we have some extraordinarily dedicated and talented professors. Their research has gained national recognition in the media, from scholarly journals to the Phil Donahue Show. These remarkable people were more than our mentors; many became our friends. Before readers go into a diabetic coma from this sugar-coated overdose of Seton Sinking a great shot (at left) is survivor Ray Torres. (Above) Ed Young, a perennial survivor, masquerades as a ghoul.
