As students awaited on the entrance of Magee they were entertained by performances and were able to participate in circus themed activities.
Magee made a grand entrance as she rode in on the back of a motorcycle, giving a pleasant waive to the audience. Passing the title down to the 85th Miss. Southern, was Shanice Sam the 84th/Centennial Miss. SU along with President-Chancellor Dr. Ray Belton. After the crowning, Magee was ready to partake in the traditional dance, one with Belton, followed by her grandfather, SGA president Dominique Diamond.

Small in numbers, big at heart BY LAUREN JOHNSON DIGEST EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Southern University Custodian and Landscaping Services Department collectively donated 515 dollars during a two-week pledge to support Devon Gales and his family. Last week Custodian and Landscaping Administrative Supervisor, Sandra Bowie
along with the staff presented a card with a cashier’s check, and a list of staff names, to Athletic Director Roman Banks to deliver to the family. “We all know that material things fade away, but only what you do true at heart will stay,” said Banks “You all are a testimony to that statement, and this was a powerful statement.”
“I did receive an update on Devon, but before I share that update I would like you all to know that as a baby, Devon spent an entire year in the hospital, due to premature birth and its effects, it was a whole year until his dad could bring him home and put his arms around him,” added Banks. Informing of the update of Gales Banks mentioned “Today Devon raised his head
and said mama, I need you, he had to use the bathroom, which was great that he can know feel that sensation again,” this is only a testimony of what the lord can really do, “I Thank you all from the Athletic Department and his parents

Homecoming Mishaps BY LAQUENCIA PARKER DIGEST MANAGING EDITOR
The official 2015 Homecoming schedule listed a total of 22 events, however, only 19 of those events came to fruition. “The Mirage” Bonfire, which was scheduled to take place at 10 p.m. in the Pavilion on the 13, along with the “Circus Circus” Carnival and Health Fair scheduled for the 14 at 11 a.m. were both cancelled. The highly anticipated Greek Show was also dropped from the schedule. According to Student Government Association President Dominique Diamond, the bonfire was cancelled as result of a lack of dedicated manpower to actually
Diamond setup the bonfire, which resulted in the university holding off on purchasing the permit for the event from the Fire Marshall.
“Time is everything,” stated Diamond. “They weren’t able to get everything done in time. We didn’t want to pay to get it approved without assurance that someone was going to be able to commit to building it.” As far as the Health Fair, Diamond explained that the event didn’t pertain to SGA, referring all questions to the Health Center. The Greek Show, however, Diamond explained as lacking on the part of the SU Greeks, and the cancellation a decision from the Pan-Hellenic Council. “Participation was one of the main factors in the cancellation,” Diamond said. “I didn’t want students paying 10 dollars to see
only three or four acts, when we have the whole Divine Nine here.” A major concern for majority of students was the absence of Homecoming T-Shirts at the Pep Rally. “Getting things done and paid for, here at Southern University, is a process,” Diamond started. “I signed off on the payment for shirts in September. The company making the shirts didn’t receive their payments in enough time to have them (the shirts) for the pep rally.” Diamond went on to explain that once the company received the money, they began manufacturing the shirts, which arrived Friday night, and resulted in distribution
mid-Saturday, before the game. Diamond also mentioned that he would be scheduling a day this week to pass out the shirts. “I really wish we would have been able to fulfill everything set on the homecoming calendar, but at the same time, time is everything, and you just have to respect it.” stated Diamond. Diamond did mention the alternative events that took place, such as the Greek tailgate that took place in front of Blanks Hall, and the fact that he thought that, while they didn’t replace the originally scheduled events, they were still “pretty cool”.

DIGEST EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Southern University Homecoming Ecumenical Worship Service was held on Tuesday October 13, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Cotillion ballroom of the Smith Brown Memorial Student Union. The event began with an inspirational song by the SU Gospel Choir, leading to Invocation done by Pastor of Beacon Light Baptist Church, Reverend Eric Williams. “We have gathered in this place to give God glory, honor and praise for all that he has done for us in light of our institution,”said 85 Miss Southern, Jamya McGee, “Greetings with great pleasure and gratitude, we welcome each one of you to our homecoming Ecumenical services,” said Student Government Association President Dominique Diamond, as they both greeted the congregation. After the greeting Guest Vocalist Chrystal Rucker, a gospel-recording artist, performed a spiritual selection. “Let the church say amen, It brings me great pleasure to welcome you all and thank you for joining us,” said Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs & Enrollment Management,
Dr. Brandon K. Dumas. “I consider it to be a high honor and distinct privilege to introduce our guest speaker, a spiritual leader who has brought several men and women and young people to know the love of Jesus Christ,” said Dumas ”Todays Keynote speaker is Bishop Joseph Walker III,” finished Dumas. Guest speaker Bishop Joseph Walker III, Pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Nashville Tennessee received a bachelor Degree of Arts and honorary Doctorate from Southern University. “Put your hands together, my God, my God, ”said Walker as he approached the podium. “It is good to be back home, on the yard, I am so grateful,” said Walker. “How many of y’all came for a blessing today?” I would like to take you all to Deuteronomy chapter 32 , beginning at verse 3,” Said Walker as he began his sermon. “Don’t Fight the process, tell your neighbor don’t fight the process. People do not like process, it is difficult for people, people rather take the elevator then stairs because it is a process,” said Walker. Encouraging students that God hears their prayers Walker says “God hears you, I know many of you are wondering why am I still in this place and I’m constantly praying, and God says I got you, I have you in this place

because it is a process.” Walker referred to the process of an eagle, and how the eagle prepares a nest, and feeds the eaglets, until a certain point, then she unweaves the nest, making them uncomfortable and preparing them to soar. “ Some of you look so crazy just trying to be comfortable, sometimes you have to become uncomfortable to soar,” said Walker finished his sermon with a note message of “Soar High like an eagle.” “I really enjoyed the Worship service, Bishop Walker gave a great message and I choose to fly and sore like an eagle,”said Alisha Jarred, a Senior Nursing Major of Baton Rouge.

BIG HEART from page 1 Custodian Robert Lawrence, who has been with the SU staff after retiring in 2000 says he wishes the family well and that they use the money adequately. “I hope they use the money wisely and I would like to thank the people that gave and I hope that we continue to have a heart to give.” I wish them all the best,” finished Lawrence. Administrative Coordinator Candace Donaldson of Melville Louisiana says this came to her in her sleep. “I have two children of my own and I felt this was needed, after the lord laid this on my heart,” said Donaldson. “I know we are small in numbers, but big in heart, and this was done to strengthen Devon. When asked if she hopes for the entire university to follow their lead Donaldson responded saying “I hope so, because if we, the lowest paid persons on campus can donate I feel we all can. Donaldson finished by saying “I’m sure that we have all interacted with him in some type of way.” When asked of the impact she wishes to have after making the donation Bowie responded saying “I was actually watching the game when it happened, and I was like oh my god this does not look good. I immediately said a prayer for him, I knew it was going to be something serious. After speaking with Candace and she gave me her idea I agreed and we brought it to the staff, which was eager to jump on it and they felt it was needed and were glad to give donations.” “Im grateful that everyone participated and we had a good turn out,” said Donaldson.

HOMECOMING
HAMARTIA Southern takes their first conference loss BY KAYLEN SCOTT
DIGEST SPORTS WRITER
Homecoming weekend was a success for the Jaguars up until the 4:07 P.M kickoff. The Jaguars faced neighboring conference foe Prairie View A&M University. Prior to this game, the Jags were undefeated in conference play and seemed like a potential contender for the SWAC championship. The Jaguars made a promise amongst themselves to dedicate the rest of the season to beloved brother and teammate Devon Gales. They started the game with good efforts. Despite a good opening drive, the Jags had to settle for three, after the drive faltered at the PV sixyard line. After two runs led to zero yards and an incompletion on third down, the drive resulted in three points. Nonetheless, big plays would follow. After PVAMU scored a touchdown on its first drive, SU’s Willie Quinn returned a kickoff one
hundred yards to put the Jags back on top early in the first quarter 103. Baton Rouge native and Glen Oaks High School graduate Johnta’ Herbert had the opportunity to play against his home school. Herbert, a fifth year senior was extended the opportunity to walk on at SU after graduating; but he took a scholarship to attend Prairie View A&M University. “Southern asked me to walk on, so of course I have a chip on my shoulder,” said Herbert. “I didn’t get a scholarship here and I stayed right down the street. Every time I play Southern, I want to have a big game.” Herbert’s wish came true as he amassed three hundred ninety eight yards of total offense. Herbert rushed for one hundred fourteen yards on seventeen carries, caught ten passes for one hundred seventy yards, and had another one hundred fourteen yards on kickoff returns.
Astavven Cotton/DIGEST Sophomore quarterback Austin Howard makes a quick breakaway to evade defenders during saturdays homecoming game against Prairieview A&M.
Herbert and the end zone became good friends, as he found it four times; two rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns. Herbert would kick off the scoring for PV with his first touchdown midway through the first quarter. That was the first time the Jags trailed in conference play. Throughout the game, SU would make a lot of firsts.
SU played a mistake free first half and led going into the locker room 23-20. The second half proved to be much different. SU coughed the ball up six times, and it found the hands of a Panther four times. The third quarter is what turned the game in PV’s favor. Midway through the third quarter, PV was looking to add to its four
point lead. The drive would stall and lead to a field goal attempt, an attempt that would be blocked. In the following moments, Jaguars safety Dionte McDuffy tried to recover the block and lost control
completed. Mitchell lead the Lady Bulldogs with 21 kills and a single block inside of the game as her presence was made known in the tournament. Southern settled with only a single win took the win from Jackson State at their home 3 sets to 1 (25-21, 25-18, 24-26, 25-18). The sweep was insured for Southern but a kill by Alexiss Ford and an attack error by
Shauntia Carr eliminated that chance from the books. Instead Southern picked up the last set with a seven point edge and closed the tournament weekend to sail back home back to the nostalgia of homecoming. Southern (5-17, 2-1) etches their claws into University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to extend the SWAC season and return home to championship stakes.

Two-Three Bust
Lady Jags gather a few wins during the Jackson State Invitational BY FELIX CUNNINGHAM III
DIGEST SPORTS EDITOR
The Southern University women’s volleyball team endured an arduous tourney during tournament weekend. From October 16-17 at Jackson State University at T.B. Ellis Gym in Jackson, Mississippi, Southern played a five game journey and returned home with a 2-3 split. First, Southern faced the past champions, Alabama State and took 3 sets to 1 (25-18, 1525, 25-17, 25-11). The days went too far in between since the last bout with Alabama State and retribution was in sight when Southern took the second set by an overwhelming 10 points. Southern was in a nine point lead in the beginning of the affair and kept the lead. ASU could not hoist the Lady Jag onslaught until the end of the bout. By the end of the night, the former champs took their glory once again on the Jaguars. In the next affair, the Lady Jaguars went against Alcorn State in which four days prior in Clifford Seymour Gym; Southern captured the 3-1 victory. Odds were against Southern JAGUAR NATION!
as Alcorn reversed the decision 1-3 (22-25, 21-25, 25-17, 22-25). Jamie Selleneit, who sealed the deal, gaining three points and errors supplied by Alcorn, did not make the sweep imminent. Heads lowered with two losses on the belt, Southern carried the Jaguar spirit while facing Mississippi Valley State and on October 17, retribution doesn’t taste any sweeter than a sweep (25-12, 25-20, and 2520). Melodie Malone and Chinasa Ekweariri both escaped with team highs of eight kills, while Keandra Williams straggled with seven kills and four blocks under her belt. Mississippi Valley attempted to collapse the deal in the second and third set, but Southern consecutively collected points at the end of the soiree. Halle Gayten captured six kills and two blocks and Ilaisha Hale captured 5 kills and single block for the high for Mississippi Valley. With their first victory, the next sweep was imminent. However, Southern was the victim towards the onslaught as Alabama A&M took their way into the match and capsized
Southern (25-17, 25-17, 25-21). Southern saw no relief in the relying momentum that the Lady Bulldogs had to offer in the first set but Southern took control in the second set only for a brief moment and then the points continued to rain. The third set however, saw the absolute fight from the Lady Jaguars until Ashundria Mitchell took the (17-17) tie and set the kill and mandated that the sweep was therefore

Southern University’s Women’s Soccer Team falls BY SKYLER FRANKLIN DIGEST SPORTS WRITER
The Lady Jaguars of the Southern University soccer team took on Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M University this past homecoming weekend, playing on both Friday and Sunday; Southern lost both games by three points. Late Friday night the Jaguars faced the Tigers in A.W. Mumford Stadium resulting in a 1-3 loss. Texas Southern wasted no time in showing Southern that they came to play. Scoring their first goal within the first ten minutes of the half, soon after they dominated the field for the duration of the game. The Tigers outshot the Lady Jags by 14, attempting 16 shots while southern only attempted two. Defense in the back field rarely ever seems to be a problem with sophomore goalie Kendra Lewis, doing what she does best, save goals. SU had five
saves to the Tigers 1 save. There was an ample amount of tension on the field that was clearly seen and could even be felt far in the stands. Both teams had a combined number of 25 fouls with two yellow cards coming from both sides. After the first half, Southern’s intensity picked up on both the offensive and defensive end. Texas Southern would go on to score twice before the lady jags did. With just under 15 minutes left in the game, sophomore midfielder Jessica Persico scored southern’s first goal since their last home game on the 27 of September. Sunday afternoon Southern battled against Prairie View A&M University. The game’s score is an exact reflection of the game played two days prior with a 1-3 defeat. PV came out with tenacious defense and offense and Southern matched their
level of play. Both teams were scoreless for the first half. Many factors of this game include fatigue, intensity, and just pure heart. Freshman defender Matilda Boehm scored the 1st goal of the game and the only goal that would come from Southern. With the lady Panthers previous record of 4-2 in SWAC play the jags knew that this would be a hard game. But they were not prepared for what PV brought. The panthers went on a 3-0 run, scoring each goal within ten minutes of each other. Southern lost 1-3 against the lady tigers of Texas Southern University and to the Lady Panthers of Prairie View A&M University. Moving forward, Southern’s next game will be held on Friday October 23 against the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
Grambling takes win from Alcorn in OT DIGEST SPORTS EDITOR
Grambling State University defeated Alcorn on Saturday, October 17 in Lorman, Mississippi during their homecoming festivities. Grambling head coach, Broderick Fobbs, learned plenty about his top-ranked SWAC Tigers as they invaded Alcorn (4-2, 4-1). Running back Martez Carter rushed for 132 yards, which marked his third 100-rushing yard game this season. Also, he scored a touchdown in overtime as Grambling withstood the No. 1 ranked black college football team to rally from behind for a 35-34 OT victory. The hunt for first place is now over. It was the final play of overtime that secured Grambling (52, 5-0) win as defensive tackle D’Angelo Butler-Gatson blocked a Haiden McCradey extra point that would have tied the game all together, forcing a second overtime. Fans who traveled from Monroe to Mississippi, northern Louisiana and beyond that witnessed the “G” going wild. “Those kids fight, they fight and they kept fighting,” Fobbs said after the game,”… they thought they were burying us. But they didn’t know we were a seed, we’re coming from the ground. We’re Grambling! That’s just the way we are. We’re Grambling! We’re going to fight. This is the G!” Referring to the late legendary Eddie G. Robinson and his wife Doris Robinson, who died last month, Fobbs went on in an emotional state. “This is for Coach Rob. This is for Mrs. Doris. We are going to
fight. This is for the G!” Quarterback Jonathan Williams passed for 141 yards, three touchdowns and rushed for 51 yards. Williams finished for 16 for 33 attempts and accosted one interception. One of Williams’ touchdown passes went to wide receiver Chad Williams. Williams finished with two catches, one touchdown and 23 yards. Grambling’s offense struggled to score touchdowns in the first half. Kicker Marc Orozco drilled two field goals to take an early 6-0 lead in the first quarter. Then, trailing 14-6, Williams connected with Chad Williams for a 32-yard pass that resulted in a touchdown. Carter converted for two points when he ran for a jet sweep, stopped, then lobbed a pass to Chad Williams to score, tying the game. In a back and forth slugfest, Alcorn led the game 28-14 at halftime. It was the overtime end that amazed the crowd and surprised the nation. Alcorn will suffer a bye-week and Grambling takes on Mississippi Valley State at GSU’s homecoming at 2 p.m. in Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium. Alcorn was not the only one to endure hardship during their homecoming. Southern fell 47-42 against Prairie View, which makes the Bayou Classic interesting to some. The rivalry that spread from the loss from last season will revive the Tigers into a matchup that could ensue into one of the greatest Bayou Classic of all time. Grambling remains undefeated in conference and will take the fight inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Saturday, November 28. Southern (3-3, 3-1) heads to Texas Southern in Houston in the BBVA Compass Stadium to hold onto to the SWAC rankings and increase the lead to withstand the G.

HAMARTIA from page 4 of the ball. Prairie View gained possession of the ball and that led to a Herbert touchdown from fifteen yards out. That would widen the gap in the Panthers favor 40-30. “That was big,” Southern head coach Dawson Odums said, “because we had fought so hard to stop them.” One thing they couldn’t do is stop PVAMU, but they did seem to stop themselves. Earlier in the third quarter McDuffy would force a fumble and it was recovered by SU deep in Jaguar territory. The drive would nearly end in a punt, instead it ended in a turnover. Punter Greg Pittman botched the snap, which led to points for the Panthers. Three out of four of SU’s fumbles would all lead to scores by Herbert, who seemed to be the Jags’ kryptonite. “We shot ourselves in the foot,” said receiver Randall Menard. “We went in with too big of a head. We needed a loss to get our mind right.” Four fumbles and a horrible third down defense is a recipe for spoiling any homecoming. Now the Jaguars are faced with a headache. With yesterdays lost, they don’t control their destiny in the SWAC West. PVAMU will have to lose another game and SU would have to win out and defeat archrival Grambling State (5-0) if they want to end up back in Houston for the third year in a row.

Know your Louisiana History: Oscar James Dunn- African American Lieutenant Governor in 1868 BY JORI LACOUR
DIGEST STAFF WRITER
Post Civil War, Oscar Dunn began his first venture by starting an agency in which freedmen who were, “good servants and field hand” were hired out to residents of New Orleans and surrounding parishes. Working with the relatively new freedmen gave Dunn an opportunity to be an advocate for land ownership for blacks, education for all African American children, and equal protection laws under the fourteenth amendment. He became the secretary of the Advisory Committee of the Freedmen’s Saving and Trust Company of New Orleans. Following this major accomplishment, in 1866 Dunn structured the People’s Bakery, which was an enterprise owned and operated by the Louisiana Association of Workingmen. The enactment of Reconstruction Acts (1867) called for five military districts with commanders and the registration of blacks as voters as well as a new state constitution—with federal approval. Louisiana and Texas encompassed the Fifth District, with General Philip H. Sheridan as commander. In August of that year, Sheridan selected Dunn to the Board of Aldermen of New Orleans. It was Dunn’s expertise as a councilman that brought about public education for the city and later for the state. Dunn oversaw a committee in charge of amending Article 5, which centered on the enrollment age of children attending public schools and placed responsibility for education on the Board of Aldermen. Although the resolution was laid on the table, his move to enact such a decree was realized in the Constitutional Convention of 1867-68, when a similar law was enacted and become one of the most progressive actions taken in opening all schools to all races. Other issues Dunn took on incorporated the establishment of an efficient firefighting system, the requirement that qualified electors should hold appointments, a reconfiguring of the chain of command at City Hall to place it under the general supervision of the mayor, and the establishment of council rules for operation. In 1868, Oscar J. Dunn would become the candidate for lieutenant governor along

with the well-known, octoroon Francis E. Dumas—the highest ranked non-white officer in the Union Army. Dunn was drafted into the race and placed on the ticket with gubernatorial candidate Henry C. Warmoth. Warmoth and Dunn won the election solely on the freshly enfranchised black voting block and the exclusion of former Confederates of the polls. After taking his oath on June 30th, Dunn led a movement to incorporate an additional oath for new legislators; he wanted state senators to take a test oath to assert that they had not fought against the United State in any way. President Ulysses S. Grant concluded the matter by necessitating only the oath in the Louisiana Constitution to be used in the swearing in of the legislature. Dunn was not only honored for his duties as lieutenant governor, but also as president of the Metropolitan Police. In addition to those positions, Oscar Dunn was also a member of the Printing Committee and president of the Board for the Distribution of Pensions to Veterans. At the fall of Governor Warmoth, Dunn stepped in and handled the role so well that his enemies even had to commend him for his efforts. Warmoth’s lack of control over the Executive Committee placed leadership into the hands of Oscar Dunn. His incredible leadership skills led many to believe he would become the next Governor of Louisiana in the 1872 election, and from there, be elected to the U.S. Senate. Unfortunately, on November 20, 1871 Dunn became extremely ill. Two days later, Oscar James Dunn was no longer a living man. Many speculated that he was poisoned but all doctors who examined Dunn named the cause of death as congestion of the brain. In his forty-five years of life, Oscar J. Dunn managed to pave the way for African American men in Louisiana politics and politics itself.

Alumni hosts Annual Homecoming Art Exhibition BY BRANDON PRINCE DIGEST STAFF WRITER
The Alumni of Southern University hosts their seventh annual Homecoming Art Exhibition in Frank Hayden Hall on Monday night, October 13 to showcase a few of the many pieces from their own art collection. This year the rotating art gallery was filled with a plethora of admirers of art, students of Southern University and of course, the artist of the art showcased on display. The person responsible for putting together the art alumni Art exhibition was our own Gallery Director and Associate Professor of Visual Arts, Robert Cox. Cox a Cincinnati, Ohio native, graduated from both the University of Cincinnati and Howard University where he studied Art, and worked at the oldest corporate gallery of art known in Washington D.C. before becoming a professor at Southern University. “By the time I was born, my drive for art has been with me this whole time. I would produce it, teach it and travel to go see it,” said Cox. Cox says that every chance he has he would bring his students on trips to see art and how important is to not only

Alumni graduates from the years of 1964 to 2013 that are in the exhibition. Cox with the help of staff and alumni brought the gallery to life to share their passion and unique skills of art to the public and also to inspire future upcoming artist to come. Cox commented, “Our exhibition has quite a range from terms of age, diversity, skill and subject matter. It’s a very great exhibition.” To name a few Alumni artist featured in this year’s exhibition, are Antoine “Ghost” Mitchell, Osereime Joseph Aimua, Jared Alcorn, Earnest Baylor, Jeanne E. Brown, Tommie Warren, Jade Meyers and Eugene Eda Wade. Mitchell. a 2007 Graduate of Southern University from the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. “Art is my job, my belief, my spirituality.

Students will be able to showcase some of their collection of art on a professional setting in the Hayden Hall art gallery and get a chance to be admire by peers and local art buffs.

So much for Homecoming BY TREVOR MOORE DIGEST STAFF WRITER
Southern University Agricultural and Mechanical College has been a prestigious, historically, black university since the 1800s. This university has taken pride in itself since the dawn of its time and continues to grow and become exceptional, but really, what is a great university without an amazing homecoming? Homecoming is the time of year where we as students feel a little bit of relief especially right after the mid terms grades that were previously posted. The homecoming game itself, the events that occur on campus, and just the overall feeling in the atmosphere itself gives us the feeling of being at home. Southern resides as some student’s second residence, and homecoming is definitely the time to show it off. Well this homecoming season did not provide much of a homey feeling for the residing students on campus and or the students as a whole. Though the time spent enjoying, and partaking in all of the after school festivities provided lots of enjoyment, what happened
to all the events that were suppose to occur? Yea you know the ones that were printed on the fabulous poster and flyers? This is of great concern because as the events were announced, the anticipation from each student on campus was increased just a little bit to show some support in their school. The bonfire at the pavilion, the Greek show, and the Vegas night that never happened, were all most likely memorable events that would have added to the enjoyment of the schools theme and celebration. Instead we were given the basic football game, Pretty Wednesday, and a pep rally that had no pep. Usually a pep rally has football players, dancing dolls, and more student involvement. Even though I enjoyed the speech many students felt that it didn’t quit fit the occasion. Not to mention the Homecoming T shirts. As students that pay non-refundable fees we pay for our Homecoming T-shirts, It is sad enough we didn’t get spring fest shirts in a timely matter, but the homecoming shirt too? Really? Yea I saw the one post on social media informing students of the shirt giveaway on Saturday morning, but the purpose of us getting shirts
is to wear them to the game, to collectively show our school spirit, but what about those that don’t live on campus or had to fight traffic to get on campus? Enough of that, what about the Greeks? Being an HBCU Greeks are usually the most active on campus during homecoming rather its alumni, current students or even just prospects, but this year there wasn’t even a Greek show, which to my knowledge is a source of revenue. Being 101 years of celebrating the essence of Southern University, students, as a whole should feel empowered by the school. They should feel that Southern University is something that can be exhibited in the highest of excellence. On a personal note, being a freshman, me along with my classmates hear the stories of homecoming and how “Live” they will be, only to dream of one day being apart of those events as students, only to get here and be let down. Yea so the theme was Casino night what happens at SU stays at SU I’m cool with that, just give me something exclusive to want to keep at SU and not what everyone else already knows of.
