They are given the opportunity to be- come familiar with their duties, expectations, superiors and co-workers. Even on Thanks- giving, Christmas, and spring breaks, they stay a day later than the other residents and move back in a day earlier in order to check security measures, inspect the rooms, and help in the check-in check-out process. As for the community advisor’s duties, they are responsible for all wing and general programming. They must also act as discipli- narians on their floors. Their job description is that of administrators, community develop- ers, and student counselors. For all of these responsibilities, the com- munity advisor is given a single room and board. They also receive a small salary each month. It is the experience of being a leader, of having helped fellow students, and of con- tributing to the betterment of Seton Hall, that provides real gratification for the C.A.D 26

Missing this year was the traditional Home- coming Parade, selection of a Homecoming Queen and the semi-formal open to students and alumni. Although the Alumni Associ- ation did not sponsor a Homecoming, the Student Activities Board provided a Fall Weekend for students with Halloween as its theme. The Fall Weekend began October 30 with Cabaret Night. Approximately 200 students were entertained by the new wave sound of the Bangs, while beer, wine, and cheese were in abundance for all. The next day’s activities began with the football game pitting the Pirates against Wag- ner College. Unfortunately, the Pirates were set back by Wagner 45-7. While the game was in progress, a tailgate party, which at- tracted many students, was in full swing at the back of Owen Carroll field. 9
