Marking A Renaissance Mass was followed by recognition of the six Seton Hall students who were competitors at the 1988 Summer Olympic games in Seoul, Korea. A video presentation displaying the University ' s recent changes was then shown followed by an invitation to join the activities and events being held on the South Orange Avenue Lawn. These activities and events included a recording booth, caricaturists, pumpkin painting, T-shirt designing, pictures taken of people dressed in camouflage clothing and a talent show. Also available were booths on health care at which cholesterol levels and blood pressures were taken. Food seemed to be everywhere since it was offered both inside in the cafeteria and on the lawn. Reactions to the day were positive. The administration seemed pleased with the turnout and student response. Student Government Association President James Moore said: It (University Day) gets better and better every year. I am so excited that once again students, faculty, administration, parents and alumni had the opportunity to share Seton Hall ' s richness and diversity. Indeed, the richness and diversity of Seton Hall were shared by the many individuals who participated in the celebration called University Day. by Carla Salewski ROTC ’HOTQ BOOTH ■ ' ' ' , A Getting tough: Many people posed in khakis for a photo taken by ROTC.

However, they did not expect the most notable addition to their atmosphere, which was that of a new breed of student. You may wonder how there could possibly be another classification of student. Traditionally, students were ei- ther residents or commuters. Suddenly, however, a mixed breed came into being, and they were called resi-muters. Pure-breed residents were students who lived on campus. They could be identified by their leisurely gates, their baggy sweats, their hungry look and the dark circles under their eyes. They knew the ropes, the ins and outs of living on South Orange Avenue and all their neighbors. The residents could usually recite every number for food delivery in a 20-mile radius, and they knew what it was to pay a phone bill. To them living day-to-day was an art form, which had to be orchestrated perfectly with dining services, homework, laundry and other basic survival tactics. College to them was definitely not Oz, for they learned quickly that there really was no place like home. Pure breed commuters on the other hand were stu- dents who lived off campus either by themselves or with family. They could be spotted by a knowledgeable watchen They were the students who were impeccably Continued on page 25 Time to spare: Commuters often found more time to study than most residents. The Study Lounge provid- ed commuters with a place to meet friends and relax before their next class. Nothing like your own: Unlike com- muters, residents had a place to escape to between their classes, a place they could call their own. 22 Student Life
