% • m HUMAN IVAL mm 1 1 ' « 1 The Caravan for Human Survival leaves the Student Center for the United Nations. In the evening, the group heard lectures by Rev. Paul Stagg, member of the New Jersey Council of Churches and Kate Donnelly of the Safe Energy Alliance who spoke of the impending dangers of the nuclear arms race. An all-night film festival followed which in- cluded such movies as “The Emperor’s New Armor,” “Dr. Strangelove,” “Failsafe” and “War Without Winners.” The next morning, the caravan headed for the United Nations, where they presented all of the petitions from around the country to Kurt Waldheim, secretary ' general of the United Nations. Those who participated felt that their dedi- cation to the cause of world peace would pay off in the near future. Bouvier said, “The caravan is hoping to put a world freeze on all testing, development, production and deploy- ment of nuclear weapons at a special session on disarmament at the United Nations in June of 1982.” Though the days of sit-ins and protests may be over, Seton Hall students welcomed the Caravan for Human Survival to keep the fight for world peace alive. □ The Gray Panthers, a senior citizens activist group, were well represented on the Caravan for Human Survival by a very enthusiastic Louise Franklin Ramirez. 24

On October 23, Seton Hall welcomed the Caravan for Human Survival as it made its last stop in a series of visits to universities around the country. The group’s purpose was to promote nuclear disarmament and world peace at a rally held at the United Nations. Rev. Robert Antczak represented the facul ty and Marc Bouvier represented the student body as the two welcomed the caravan on a rainy morning. The bad weather did not dam- pen the spirits of the participants, who repre- sented 40 colleges from as far west as Minne- sota and as far south as Miami. Among the schools that participated were the University of South Carolina, the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, Fairleigh Dickinson, the University of Connecticut and Boston Univer- sity. Special ceremonies were planned for the caravan’s visit to the campus, beginning with the lighting of a torch to represent friendship. Members of the university were asked to sign the Human Manifesto, written by Norman Cousins, who is an author, editor and presi- dent of the World Federalists Association. This list of signatures was presented to the caravan that morning. 23

The Community Advisor Counselor and Confidant for Dorm Students. (Above) C.A. Joanne Nichols takes a break to catch up with campus news. (Left) C.A. Lee Lane relaxes after completing weekend duty. The community advisor in the dorms can be considered the most important member of a resident’s daily life. The C.A. is described as being a “paraprofessional” member of the university community. As well as maintaining order on their dorm wing, the C.A. has the responsibility of keep- ing an educational environ ment in the resi- dence halls. But who are these “paraprofes- sionals”? They are average resident students who show an interest in an orderly Seton Hall dorm life. Freshmen may view their position as some sort of an unattainable honor, while others view the life of a C.A. as the total opposite. To become a community advisor, the pro- cess falls somewhere between the two. Near- ly 80 students applied for this year’s 27 posi- tions. The applicants then went through a selection process and met with an interview panel, consisting of one head resident, one graduate assistant, and three current commu- nity advisors. Once they made that step in the selection process, they then underwent personal interviews with a head resident. After meeting the requirements of the univer- sity, the remaining applicants are hired.
