Traditional Liturgy Begins School Year by DIANA ANDERSON T he early afternoon sun reflected off the stain glass windows of the Immaculate Concep- tion Chapel. Overhead the cloudless blue sky, created a feeling of serenity, and the gentle breeze of a sum- mer day past set the scene for the perfect outdoor mass. The annual Mass of the Holy Spirit was celebrated in early September on the center lawn in honor of the coming academic year and the Catholic faith. The somber procession began on the Chapel steps and led by Monsignor John J. Petillo, made its way across the center lawn to the altar on the grass in front of Mooney Hall. He was accompanied by Rich- ard Liddy, Rector of the Im- maculate Conception Semi- nary and Reverend Dennis Mahon, Director of Planning and Instructional Research. Behind them the seminar- ians and members of Cam- pus Ministry carried Eucha- ristic banners signifying the sacraments. Ed Walsh, Stu- dent Government Vice Pres- ident, had the honor of car- rying the Bible and escorting the Parish Priests to their honored places to the left of the altar. He read from the Book of the Corin- thians, Chapter-12; 1-11. The second reading was presented by Dr. Judy Miller, Director of Afro- American Studies, from the Book of Ephesians Chapter- 4 ; 1 - 16 . During the Eucharistic Procession student leaders bestowed symbolic gifts from their respective cam- pus organizations to Cele- brant Msgr. Petillo. Mem- bers of the Elizabeth Ann Seton Society, banner in hand, led the students down the center aisle to present their gifts. Other clubs who presented their banners were Zeta Chi Rho, Circle K, Commuter Coun- cil, College Republicans, and The Student Activity Board. The Tau Kappa Epsi- lon Fraternity brought up a wooden replica of their crest, the Pershing Rifle Drill Team surrendered a saber and the Galleon Year- book presented a recent copy of the yearbook. This offering, the first ever by students in the schools his- tory will become one of the new traditions here at Se- ton Hall. The Campus Ministry Mu- sical Ensemble, directed by Ed Cooney per formed the Entrance song, Come Holy Ghost, the Offertory song, ' Come to the Water, the Communion song, One Bread, One Body, and the Recessional, ' Sing to the mountains. 12 Mass Of The Holy Spirit

Social Season Kicks Off With Welcome-Back Mixer by DIANA ANDERSON A fter three months of intense partying at the shore, Septem- ber marks the time to get back into the swing of scho- lastics and the best way to do so is to have one heck of a bash! Let it not be said that summer fun ends when the school year begins! The Welcome Back Par- ty ' ' was sponsored by the Resident Student Associa- tion (RSA) on Friday, Sept. 5th. The mixer succeeded in introducing the incoming freshman to the rest of the Seton Hall clique, as well as easing them into the life of a budding college student; complete with hopes of good grades and the start of a promising social calendar. The party however, is not merely for those new to campus, it is also a reunion for the returning under- classman. Old friendships are rekindled and new friendships begun. Tan and feeling fines, Kathy Berth celebrates the start of her sopho- more year. Romance was in the air and Laris- sa and Ricky embraced the oppor- tunity to share a special moment. t 14 Welcome Back Mixer
