Making A Mark University Walks A Fast And Steady Pace A strict map was consulted in order to make sure that short cuts would not turn into shortcomings. Activities added length to our journey, but made it seem like an enhanced, better route. Students realized that education meant more than the development of the mind through enjoyment. New clubs were established and old clubs flourished. Campus activity was critically interpreted as a chance to expand the student into an involved, well-rounded individual. Sport was seen as significant to University life. It motivated stu- dents to meet their physical and competitive needs. The Rec Cen- ter allowed for such activities. Also the new outside basketball and volleyball courts added opportu- nity for play . With the ad- vanced facilities, inactivity was not easily accomplished. When an institution has devel- oped as long as Seton Hall has, it becomes necessary to define its current era with recognizable events. Thus, many such land- marks were established. The physi- cal growth of the school was a major marking. The completion of three new dorms, a new main gate and road system, and a landscape makeover set the visu- al advancement of the year apart from any other. No one, too, will forget the accomplishments of the Pirate ' s basketball team as they literally placed South Orange on the map as they made their way to the NCAA Championships. Also, for the first time administra- tors had a campus assessment program designed to have out- side evaluators help students and faculty adjust to the rapid growth of the campus. It was a year whose growth would not easily be forgotten. History: The Art Building, a state land- mark, was originally a carriage house on the estate of a former Archbishop.

The Final Step Coming To The End Of The Road Drawing: Art is part of a wide selection of majors at the University. The curricu- lum ranges from areas in health care to business. Speaking: Friends found a moment to share quality time with each other. With a map which included landmarks and an established di- rection, we eyed the path with still some apprehension— a fear of tripping, too great to be ignored. Yet, the fear was allayed as com- panions were found everywhere. Community became a concept which was put into practice. So- cial life was the balance between all other factors of academia. Friends were made and their im- portance sharply felt. The journey was not complete without hugs, tears, smiles and laughs. With ev- ery successive hello the pace be- came more bearable, the travel more scenic. Now the realization has hit. We have traveled ahead with Haz- ard Zet Forward in mind. It would be contrary to progress if we took a step back and walked in the di- rection we have just come. How- ever, we may glance back and review the process and go over our travelogue through memo- ries. These memories should re- mind us that we will never stop traveling, and have progressed. We are not where we started. We are now a step ahead. -Carla A. Salewski Smelling the flowers: Helen Lawler takes a moment to appreciate nature. Opening 7
