S ports have always been a big part of the Seton Hall tradition. Although there were some highlights this year, Seton Hall has seen better years athletically. Things weren’t so good for the Pirate Basketball Team which went 6-23 during P.J. Carlesimo’s premier year (see page 175).

(Above, center) Steve Forbert and Joe Jackson (bottom left) rocked to packed audiences. Those Were Where Did The By Judy Watkins W hen the Class of ’83 received their diplomas, they had more than their vellum scrolls for four years of hard work. The graduates take with them memories; some happy, some bittersweet, from their years at Seton Hall. Although friends made during their four years may fade away, the crazy memories of those years will linger. Students will find it hard to forget the school which helped mold their lives and prepare them for their careers and lives ahead. It seems like only yesterday that members of the Class of ’83 were freshmen at Orientation, wandering about the campus trying to find classrooms. When the first day of school arrived, freshmen had discovered Seton Hall had a new president. Robert Conley had resigned; Fr. Lawrence T. Murphy had taken charge. Although he was quiet in manner, Murphy was a visible, personable administrator. On clear days, he could be found on campus, talking with people listening to their opinions. To add to the confusion most freshman feel, the bookstore relocated in September from the Student Center to the corner of South Orange Avenue and South Center Street. It then moved back to its original location in January, in the interest of students — in avoidance of traffic on South Orange Avenue. For some freshmen, Joe Jackson was a great way to get a taste of a college concert. He played to a sold-out house in Walsh Gym with his big hits, “Is She Really Going Out With Him” and “I’m a Man”. Steve Forbert played to an equally packed crowd in the Main Lounge in October. Six days before sophomore year began, Fr. Murphy resigned as president of the university due to “health reasons” after only one year in office. Edward R. D’Alessio, executive vice- president, became acting head of the university. He was appointed president by the Board of Regents on June 17, of the following year. He became the third president in the last three years, and second lay president in the 126-year history of the university. While the chain of command at the university was altered, the grading system also was changed. Incompletes turned into failures if not made up after 12 months, while B, C and D pluses were incorporated into the system. The university sold a 180-acre piece of land in Bergen County for $4.5 million to Harmony Park Corporation, Englewood Cliffs, in September of 1980. The university had purchased the property in 1960 for the purpose of creating a new campus. Since area residents opposed the idea, the proposal never came to pass. Payment for the land made over the following two years helped alleviate the school’s financial problems particularly its $4,736,925 deficit. Students and their organizations faced deficits of their own in a rash robbery which took place sometime during the weekend of October 18, 1980.
