One candidate? Really? Whats going on?

The Student Government Association gives students an opportunity to change certain aspects of student life, and to me has such a great role and significance, but this semester during campaign season I noticed something quite rare. I’m guessing you wonder what I gathered, and it was that only one person ran for SGA President. Congratulations Zana Harris. I wish you well as the 2016-2017 SGA President, but it leaves me to wonder why no one else ran?
With higher education in Louisiana being at such a pivotal point, I wonder does this not bother anyone else? Is this something that only one person sees as a problem and wants to be the changing agent? Or is it that we are just millennials and we don’t care? I mean we currently have buildings that are not equipped for proper living, a library that has no working elevators and pot holes that can and do murder to our tires. I remember one thing that made me want to come to Southern was the fact that there were students that cared and made a difference here on our campus. I remember when election season was crucial. It was a time where there was thirst, dedication and most of all competition. There were memories made, just like the time Simone Bray literally cried her eyes out and Willie McCorkle lll along side his frat brothers chanted to the top of their lungs once the announcement was made.
As the current Editor in Chief I have also found that the students just do not participate. There have been several events in which the Digest staff members would love to cover for our weekly publication, but couldn’t because the event was canceled, due to no one showing up.
I’m sure you may ask why am I worried when I’ll be gone soon, but I’m a Jag until I leave this earth and as a Jag it has been instilled in me to be a fighter, and appreciate, not only my university but the state of my university. So I say to you all. Get active, participate, find a problem and fix it. Don’t just sit around and take what is handed to you, because if our older Jaguar family would have sat and just taken what was handed to them, we wouldn’t still have our great Southern University.
