Father of the “JukeBox” passes at 85 SU Remembers Dr. Isaac Greggs
Lauren Johnson Managing Editor The legendary Dr. Isacc Greggs passed away at the age of 85. Greggs served as the leader of the SU marching band for 36 years. Under his leadership the Human Jukebox played in six super bowls, four sugar bowls, and three presidential inaugurations. Greggs nicknamed the SU Marching Band the “Human Jukebox” after so many great accomplishments. It all started in 1972 when Greggs and 31 members of the SU band performed at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. The band was recognized and asked to stay longer and play more. Then the band went to play at several other prestigious and highly awarded events in Harlem. The Jukebox not only played in the United States, but in Costa Rica and Mexico as well. After this the band had a motto of “Often imitated but never duplicated.” In 1975 the Human jukebox performed for the first time during the Annual Bayou Classic against Grambling State University in the Louisiana Superdome located in New Orleans. Being the author of the SU Alma Mater and Fight Song the Music hall, which was formally known as Dubose, was renamed to Issac Greggs Band Hall. On June 18, 2003 Greggs was acknowledged as the first living person to have a state building named after him. Then in 2013 Greggs was inducted into the Louisiana Black History Hall of Fame.” I remember Dr. Isaac Greggs saying to be the best you DIGEST FILE have to beat the best,” said former
Alto Saxophone player Adrian Bell of Alexandria, La. “There were so many memorable moments that I could spend all day sharing them.” Bell went on to say that one thing he remembered most that has carried over into his personal life is that Greggs taught members “to look the part, dress the part, act the part and to overall be a man.” Being a former band member and assistant to Greggs, the current Director of Bands Lawrence Jackson expresses how the legendary Greggs will be missed. “Dr. Greggs was a creator, iconic, phenomenal inventor, mentor, father figure and an overall peoples person,” said Jackson. “He touched everyone that crossed his path. He nurtured and cared about the direction in which his students were going.” When asked about special memories Jackson responded. “I remember when Dr. Greggs chose me for the assistant position he would constantly call me into his office and ask me different questions to ensure that I knew the information as in how many steps were in a second.” He took a special interest in me, because he saw something in me, something he could tap into and mold me into the Director I am today,” finished Jackson. In regards to the legend Jackson stated “The legend will live on,one must understand that when they see the band on the field they aren’t seeing me or the band, but the protocol and system in which Greggs created.” “SU is all I know, same as my assistant Nathan Haymer, with that being said the legend will never die.”
Former band director and creator of the “Human JukeBox“, Dr. Isaac Greggs enjoys an SU football game. Greggs passed away at the age of 85.
Los Angeles NAACP denounces Donald Sterling Associated Press The NAACP has decided against honoring Donald Sterling with a lifetime achievement award from its Los Angeles chapter after the Clippers owner allegedly made racist comments in a recorded conversation. Donations made by Sterling, who has owned the team since 1981, will be returned, Leon Jenkins, president of the Los Angeles NAACP, said at a news conference Monday. Jenkins would not say how much money was involved. “There is a personal, economic and social price that Mr. Sterling must pay for his attempt to turn back the clock on race relations,” he said. Sterling, 80, had been scheduled to receive the honor on May 15 as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Los Angeles branch of the nation’s oldest civil rights organization. He had been chosen to receive the award because of his long history of donating to minority charities and giving game tickets to inner city children, Jenkins said. The NAACP has honored Sterling several times in the past.
The Donald T. Sterling Charitable Foundation gave $5,000 to the NAACP’s Los Angeles chapter in 2010, according to tax records, and Sterling was listed as his foundation’s only contributor. There were no records of further NAACP contributions in 2011 or 2012, the latest years for which records were available. Sterling’s purported comments have overshadowed the NBA’s opening playoff round and prompted an NBA investigation. The league is planning a Tuesday news conference to discuss the probe. Sterling “is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings,” according to a statement from team president Andy Roeser on Saturday. Neither Sterling nor his representatives have since commented on the controversy. Jenkins, of the NAACP, was asked how detrimental he considered Sterling’s alleged remarks. “On a scale of one to 10? Eleven,” he said. “It goes back to a segregation system and a time that nobody in America is proud of.”
Members of the state Legislature’s black caucus joined those denouncing Sterling. Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown, D-San Bernardino, said lawmakers should not ignore the country’s history of discrimination. “Once again we are reminded of the ugliness and sometimes what appears to be the pervasive permanence of hatred,” Brown said while speaking in support of a resolution declaring Holocaust Remembrance Week. “So I want to simply challenge us as we go forward to not think that, ‘Yes, we see the past,’ but recognize the past has a profound impact on the present. And if we are not conscious (of it), it will direct our future.” Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton and secretary of the black caucus, blasted Sterling and compared him to a “slave master” looking down at his African-American players. “It’s an utter embarrassment,” Hall said in an interview after the floor session, “not just to the NBA, but also to all the individuals who believe that at some point, in California at least, we have risen above that, and we obviously haven’t.”

SU Models Rip the SpringFest Runway
Astavven Cotton/DIGEST The crowd cheers as student models grace the runway for a final walk during the 2014 Springfest fashion show held Thursday, April 24, 2014 in F.G. Clark Activity Center.
QUIN ARDOIN StaFF WritEr Thursday, April 24, 2014, at 6:00 p.m., the massive arena of FG Clark Activity Center was no competition for the cheering fans interested in Southern University fashion. More than 600 guests were being treated to a runway presentation of spring fashion trends: It was a hive of captivity so profound that it seemed the entire city was asleep had they not been there. No priorities, no worries, and no gossip of where one should be instead, it was as if the world had fallen silent because the fashion show was stirring. “I didn’t walk the show this year because last year it was way too unorganized, I didn’t want to deal with it again.” Brittany Thomas, a sophomore psychology major and former SU model, sighed. “Then again, there wasn’t a red carpet last year either!” she exclaimed, “ let’s see what they’ve got!” Women came dressed in their favorite heels and dresses while the gentlemen made sure to clean
up their shoes and faces; everyone was prepared for the possibilities and represented the unceasing look of Southern University gracefully. PK1, the alternating DJ for Southern University and Louisiana State University, added rhythm to the to the anticipation in the hearts of everyone seated; and as 7:00 struck, the show began. First up was Alterations by Kelley. Her models strutted the 90-foot catwalk dressed in all white designs of precise cutout dresses and swimsuits, showing skin and radiating confidence. Kelley’s alterations and choice of models combined to show that elegance was not only a physical trait, but a mental one also. Designs by Heather was up next, tied with a Hawaiian feel and floral prints; her designs were definitely “in” for spring. Beautiful models and colorful makeup complemented the girlish vibe and brought attitude to the red carpet. Royalties by Shaquille Dillon took the runway afterwards, finally something for the men of distinction. Dillon
gathered his males and decked them in pastel browns, yellows, oranges, blues, pinks, and purples. His designs reinvented the look of a businessman, and mixed cool designs and polka dot pieces together on the models to bring out his various bow tie designs. Fashions by Truly followed next. Truly brought in couple season, with both female and male models. The women sported bags and gorgeous shoes in gold, red, yellow, and black. His designs were “truly” patterned, different, and stylized for the men. Truly’s Design combined culture to originality and left the crowd with an impressed gleam in their eyes. Flash is me by Kiante, came strutting down the red carpet next. Flashy lace, funky sparkles, dynamic sequins, classic silks, and modern bows transformed the runway. Kiante’s designs were springtime and ballroom ready; her models definitely had the look of Hollywood. Next up was an SU favorite, Third & James Co. His classic designs were twisted with simplicity and made “making
a statement” look easy. Third & James managed to incorporate a bold flow of patterns, light fabrics, and comfortable fitting for guys and ladies both. Oil Money was the next brand to appear. Oil Money’s logo took center stage at this runway. His comfortable t-shirts were complimented with leather pants, spikes, and flare, which gave off the strengthened look he had hoped for. Last up was designs by Tryst Girl, who finished the show off beautifully with an old school mix of hot club dresses, vibrant colors, and shocking cuts. Her models were in the best of shape and looked gorgeous in their “painted on “dresses. The 2014 Southern University Spring Fashion show was everything the designers, models, and audience could have hoped for. Everyone came out and supported their peers’ dreams and talents, and made sure to cheer loudly for all designs. The event brought smiles to faces and gave the designers the perfect opportunity to test out their abilities and get feedback on their hard work.
SU Alum prepares for first art exhibit Meagan L. Williams Editor -in-CHiEF ArtSoulLife, formally known as Travis Pickett, a 2012 Southern University graduate is set and ready to undergo his first art exhibition. The fine arts major from New Orleans found his inspiration in fourth grade after reading Ed Emberely’s Big Green Book of Drawing. Since then, Pickett has embarked on other avenues including graphic design, printmaking, sculpturing and poetry, but above all, his paintings have influenced his community at large.
Support the 2014 Centennial Celebration #SUBR100

CEASER SMITH, JR StaFF WritEr Senate health committee rejects health coverage for lowincome adults Legislation to provide critical health coverage for more than 240,000 low-income Louisiana adults was shot down by a Senate committee Wednesday on a party-line vote. The Health & Welfare Committee rejected Senate Bill 96, a constitutional amendment by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, which would have let voters decide whether to expand the state’s Medicaid program by using federal dollars to cover adults below 138 percent of the federal poverty line. The committee’s 6-2 vote came after more than four hours of testimony, most of it from doctors, public officials and others who noted the economic and health benefits that would come from taking advantage of the new coverage opportunity through the Affordable Care Act. Opposition came from tea party groups, a pair of Kansas billionaires and Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration. The committee’s rejection also
came despite new evidence that shows most Louisianans disagree with their governor’s insistence that the federal health care law be repealed. The poll by the New York Times and the Kaiser Family Foundation found that while Louisianans remain opposed to Obamacare, more than half of them - 52 percent - would like their federal representatives to work on improving the law rather than repealing it altogether. Medicaid expansion is expected to bring in more than $16 billion over 10 years that would support 15,600 new Louisiana jobs. Governor requests emergency loan to keep colleges afloat You know things are bad with the state budget when Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration is forced to ask for an emergency $40 million loan from state Treasurer John Kennedy in order to keep the lights on at Louisiana’s public colleges through the end of the fiscal year. As The Advocate reports, the request comes on top of a $172 million deficit in the general fund, which means Kennedy will have to shuffle money around several funds to keep the state’s finances above water. The latest trouble springs from the way legislators and the governor chose to finance higher education. The current-year budget relies on $340 million in “one-time” dollars - money from legal settlements, property sales and other patchwork financial arrangements - some of which haven’t come in as expected. Commissioner of Administration
Kristy Nichols says the money is expected to arrive before the Aug 14 repayment date. Nobody should be surprised by the latest twist. The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office predicted this would happen in a January report that was pooh-poohed by the administration. From Rags to Riches to Rags Most Americans will experience a short-lived period of prosperity during their lifetimes, then quickly return to more modest economic means. That’s the result of a new study by researchers from Cornell University and Washington University, which challenged the notion of a rigid income class structure in the United States. One researcher wrote: 12 percent of the population will find themselves in the top 1 percent of the income distribution for at least one year. What’s more, 39 percent of Americans will spend a year in the top 5 percent of the income distribution, 56 percent will find themselves in the top 10 percent, and a whopping 73 percent will spend a year in the top 20 percent of the income distribution. Yet while many Americans will experience some level of affluence during their lives, a much smaller percentage of them will do so for an extended period of time. Although 12 percent of the population will experience a year in which they find themselves in the top 1 percent of the income distribution, a mere 0.6 percent will do so in 10 consecutive years.”
