From the SGA President’s Desk

Dear Students of sound mind, body, and soul,
“The more efficient a force is, the more silent and the more subtle it is. Love is the subtlest force in the world. The law of love governs the world. Life persists in the face of death. The universe continues in spite of destruction going on. Truth triumphs over untruth. Love conquers hate. Truth resides in every human heat, and one has to search for it there and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
This quote as said by Mahatma Gandhi is extremely relevant to our lives as individuals, as well as the Southern University student body. The force more efficient Gandhi speaks of can be found in a student body more united. The love we posses for another as peers supersede any destruction that could come forth. If we, the student body, understand this, our power and effectiveness are great. The Jaguar pride that we often see and constantly speak of is a true pride woven deep within the fabric of every student and alumnus of this honorable university. I affectionately ask each student to realize this, know this and live this, and then we can truly act on “ONE ACCORD.”
As of now many of us, the students, have discussed or heard of some of the situations and issues we face in respect to our football game student seating, food services, and class cancellations. In addition to these issues we should move to continue to educate ourselves about life and our scholastic studies. For with more knowledge comes wisdom and more wisdom breeds understanding. With newly gained understanding then can we solve our problems. We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking as we had when we created them, a paradigm shift is needed.
We should not ignore our ignorance, but instead conquer what we don’t know, because to conceal ignorance is to increase it.
 Love! Love!
Peace & Blessings,
Stanley White Jr., SGA President
