Saddler — Adviser No Peace We live in a world of many problems, and there are many who feel that they have the solution to man’s problems. Leaders of all sort organize marches and protests with the hope of bringing about change, but these leaders, and their followers fail to realize that change will not give them peace. Has man forgotten who is in charge? Does he not know that his works are in vain if God is not the head. Many of today’s leaders have brought about change, but still the one thing they lack is peace (Jesus). The Civil Rights Movement brought about change, but it didn’t bring about peace for the people. The Black Panther Party brought about change, but no man obtained eternal peace (Jesus). People have chosen the material things of this world over God. They are willing to do whatever it takes to gain worldly satisfaction, but what profits a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul? How long will man be ignorant? How long will man fight, march, and protest? As long as it takes for them to find peace, I suppose, but the peace is not in the marching nor is it in fighting and protesting; the peace is in the Lx)rd. It’s time to remove the shield of this world from your eyes, and realize that the battle is not yours, but he Lord’s. We war not against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness. Race is not the enemy. Resh is not the enemy. Man is not the enemy; the enemy is Satan. It is Satan that gives you the impression that this world is worth dying for. The world is a tool of Satan that man carnally defends. Man is willing to lay down his life for something that will perish (this world), but what good is a dead man, especially if he dies without peace (Jesus). Sure the world will acknowledge his accomplishment, but in the eyes of God, if he died without peace (Jesus) in his life, he died for nothing. Peace is what man really wants. However, it can’t be obtained by fighting, marching, and protesting. Peace is not something that belongs to one man or one race, but everyone can have it if they take time out and receive it So why all the fighting and marching and protesting? The “Day of Atonement” has already been. The battle is already won, and the victory is already in your possession. There is no need to fight and march and protest for something you already have. Is the world the only kingdom you know? If so, what will you do when everything you ever fought for is burned by fire and brimstone? You take everything in this world so serious, but you care so little about the one thing that matters most, your soul. Satan has blocked your mind with the problems of this world. The goal of Satan is to take away the one thing that really deserves peace (Jesus), your soul. So what will you do? Will you continue to engage in a war that no man can physically prepare for or will you accept peace (Jesus)? There is peace in Jesus! Lamont Walt, Senior, PoliticaL Science major ISSUES G flnSWERS ^ ■ > - ARGUS MAILBAG Where Is Your Ram Pride? Do you have Ram Pride? Pride in your school? Pride in your athletic teams? Pride in your major? Self pride? This year I realized that lack of pride, apathy and diminishing school spirit are prevalent on our campus! At the Rams vs. Eagles football game earlier this month, I compared how much spirit the WSSU students possessed to how much spirit the WSSU alunmi and community fans possess. Our players were out on the field playing their hearts out and some of the student fans had other agendas. This was very obvious after halftime! The alumni and community fans stayed 'pumped,' while the students began to lose interest in the game. "It seems like people used the game to show off their fashions or a social gathering instead of an athletic event," said Arienne Giles, a 1997 WSSU graduate. "How can we expect our guys to prosper without the fan support?" Believe it or not, WSSU student athletes are concerned about the finicky support received from fellow Rams. "Whenever we win, everybody is buddy, buddy; but when we lose, they always try to downgrade you," said Eric Hendley, a junior sociology major and Ram football running back. "What we really need is fan support, regardless if we win or lose." Lack of fan support is something members of the band also notice! "It really makes me mad when the fans have the nerve to cheer on the opposite team's band and then they don't give us the same response," said Andrianne Brown, a junior accounting major and member of "Silky Smooth," the flag team. If you came to WSSU just for sports and 'gym jams' then you are not utilizing the full potential this campus has to offer. While we are here as students, we should support all of our athletic teams, win, lose or draw. We should represent by wearing WSSU paraphernalia, supporting campus representatives, (ie. SGA officers. Miss WSSU, Mr. Ram and other student leaders) and just be proud to be a RAM! Everyday these students are attempting to represent YOU , the student body. Why not try and give something back to WSSU. If you are a true Ram, you'll be one until you DIE! -‘Danielle, Propfvete- STAFF WRITERS JOHNNY WATKINS REAGAN BOLDEN LAYOUT STAFF WILLIE BROOKS DENEIA BRYANT DANIELLE PROPHETE DAVID FULTON SHARONDA WILCOX TRACI TIER A KING KBSHA LEACH OFFICE MANAGER LATREASE LOGAN LASHONDA ALEXANDER ANDREW MEANS CongratuLations Nancy Lillian Cook.
