UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Dedicated to RLB Jr.
I’ve finally found a peace of
mind
Place to rest, my moment in
time, the perfect diamond, an
Ebony Prince.
Sweet beads of Sweat, a
listening ear,
a strong caress, soft lips
to kiss, witti a smile that
makes a cloudy day clear.
YOU have given ME sc much,
and YOU’VE wiped
so many tears. YOU HAVE given
Me the best
of YOU, and YOU’VE done it
UNCONDITIONALLY
For so long I’VE PRAYED for
GOD to send SOMEONE
to give me the THINGS I TRULY
NEEDED. HE sent
HIS LOVE that filled me
SPIRITUALLY. Then I meet
YOU and YOUR LOVE filled the
empty space and now
I feel COMPLETED. I THANK
GOD for BLESSING ME
with HIS GRACE and YOUR
LOVE. Cause now I feel
I have a PLACE TO SHARE THIS
GIFT OF
UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE.

BLACK PRINCE, BLACK
LORDS, BLACK KNIGHTS,
BLACK MEN.
A product of rules, Victims of
forced immigration,
slaves to a corrupt system,
bonded by color
with chains created by
ignorance.
You have risen like the phoenix
from the ashes
of despair. An endangered
species in a concrete
jungle, As rare as the panther,
as precious
as jewels. You represent;
What was What should be
and shall be once again.
You have given hope to hearts
that felt that being Black ain’t
where it’s at. Making a man s
dream possible by any means
necessary.
When I think about the many
that didn’t make
it at all, some shot down
without a reason,
dying without cause, then I
Look at you and
how you have strived to stay
alive, the tears
I cry are not in vain but tears of
joy and pride.

Woman’s eye
Alston Will Be SGA Vice - President
BY QUEYANA C. WOODS
Editor
“I am very excited about my senior
year and look forward to working with
the SGA and other cabinet members. As
SGA vice-president, I aim to serve the
school to the best of my ability and make
it successful as well as memorable, said
Jeffrey Alston.
Alston, a junior from Louisburg,
wants to see more unity among the
student body and get continuous support
from the chancellor, the community and
the alumni.
“I look forward to working with
Chancellor Schexnider, getting to knew
him and sharing some of his ideas and
views,” said Alston. “ I will be a su-ong
backbone for the students when it comes
10 addressing student concerns with him.”
He and SGA President-elect
Veronica Alexander will begin their term
of office on June 1. He plans to
implement a program that will get and
keep freshmen interested in WSSU
throughout their years here.
“I want the freshmen to come in and
get the same amount of pride about the
university as 1 did as a freshman. There
was a closeness here a couple of years
ago that must be regained through the
Class of 2000,” he explained. “ As
freshmen, they should always know
what’s going on bccause they are the next
generation of Rams to pass on our motto.
Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve.”
Alston a Business Management
major, has been Sophomore Class
President; has worked closely with the
SGA for three years; has been active in
the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program,
Peer Advisors and Campus Pals
organizations.
“I would like to see the SGA work
more closely with the W-S Chapter of the
NAACP, the Urban League as well as be
a positive voice in the East Winston
community;” he said.
“The SGA should participate in one
or two community service projects a
month. Since the SGA is looked at as the
organization mostly responsible for the
activities here on campus, it should have
a continuous communication flow with
the student body,” he said.
