Alumni return for open house

The Alumni Association of Southern University hosted their Annual Homecoming Open House festivities at the Alumni House last night. Over 35 members from Houston and other member from as far as to Los Angeles were in attendance.
This year the SU Alumni plans to host the Alumni Campus Tour and their Annual Homecoming Round Up Concert, both on Friday, with performances by R&B singer Keith Frank and recording artists, After Seven.
Keith Bynam from Houston, coordinator of the Alumni Annual Round Up Concert, stated that the concert gives the alumni an opportunity to meet with old classmates and have a good time. 
Bynam stated that the concert had to be moved from the Royal Cotillion Ballroom to Clifford T. Seymour gymnasium because of the large turnouts.  
“Southern is my heart,” says Leroy Sweeney of Los Angeles. “If it wasn’t for Southern, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Sweeney was also discussing the latest news of the university, stating that he hated to see the bad publicity for the university.
“It is a big difference from when I attended Southern,” says Henry Stamper class of 1957, of Baton Rouge.  “It was more of a family atmosphere,” he stated.
Dennis Brown, National President of the Alumni Federation, was discussing the future for the Alumni Association Building.
According to Brown, the future Alumni building have to wait because of the situation with the economy.
“We have an account strictly for the Alumni,” says Brown.
Brown says the money will not be used for any other purpose.
