Students petition for campus security's right to bear arms | 05/03/07 |
In the wake of the April 16 Virginia Tech shootings, there has been a growing concern for campus safety. The cumulative effect of the shootings compelled two Seton Hill University (SHU) students, Rosslyn Light, a senior, and Dave Kemerer, a sophomore, to collect signatures in petition for campus police to be armed.
“We didn’t take the time to know the police weren’t armed,” Kemerer said.
The two agreed that the proposal would be a good step toward a greater sense of security for students on campus. |

Rasta defines roots | 11/20/06 |
When most people unfamiliar with roots music think of reggae, the most universal response is "Bob Marley." However, reggae has a rich tradition which can encompass many subgenres such dancehall, dub, ska and roots reggae.
On November 3, the reggae band Jah-N-I performed for the Seton Hill University (SHU) Intercultural Student Organization (ISO) food festival. In the tradition of roots reggae, with lyrics centered on justice and the conditions of victims of social and economic oppression, Jah-N-I's sound is both a mourning of the human condition and a celebration of human potential. Their music can be described as intimate and personal. |
