western ■• • arolmian opinion&editorial Western Carotins University's Independent Student Vme State of Association Address 13 SGA President Joe Monroe. Photo by T.K. Roberts At the request of SGA President Joe Monroe, the Carolinian is publishing the following document, which is the text ofthe 'State of the Association" address given on September 30, 1997, at Hinds University Center. Greetings, It gives me great pleasure and is my honor and privilege to stand before you today as the President of this great organization; this organization we call the Student Government Association. Our theme for the Student Government Association this year is "Less Talk, More Walk" so I won't try to be up here too long, but I would like to have your attention for a few minutes. To all of you listening in your homes, residence hall rooms, or your cars thanks for tuning in. I would like to thank Dr. Collings and Dr. Jacobs for taking time out of their busy schedules and time from their families to be here with us tonight. I would also like to thank the Radio Station, WWCU, and the Western Carolinian for being here today. Their being here foreshadows the direction that I would like the student body to take this year, and that is each individual organization and individual persons working together to accomplish whatever is needed for the student body. What I am going to relay to you is the state that I feel we are in as an organization and as a university entity. The three main "wStl°nS that l Want t0 answer tonight are: where were we?", "Where are we?", and Where are we going?" It all began many years ago in 1935, "nder the leadership of a local native named ed Tucker. At that time someone had a vi- S1°n that the students at this university needed a voice; a strong voice. A voice that not only would be heard, but that would be listened to. That vision was carried forth, and not only has it remained alive, but it also remains intact. Where were we? The Student Government Association, like other areas of the university, was in a dormant state. I can only speak of the Student Government that I know of which dates back to the fall semester of 1994. I've watched the Student Government rise, fall, and be re-conceived in less than half a decade. Where were we? We were in a state of denial. Denying ourselves the power and privileges we deserve. Where were we? We were in a state of hopelessness, where students would look upon what used to be their voice of hope and see a muted mouth of despair. Where were we? We were in a dismal state, where the outlook seemed gloomy, with no direction in sight. Where were we? We were in an imperative state, with an inescapable need for help. We were going through the motions. Following habits that others had set in the past, whether they be good or bad, they were continuing on and getting worse as the years progressed. I saw us in a state of "I am just here to get paid, because I have a lot of friends that came out to vote and to represent the 10% of the student body who actually cares about what happens to their university. Where were we? We were in a "Tyson State," where we needed to, and some were willing to, bite or do whatever it took to get back on top. A state where people would focus more on our faults and not our accomplishments. A state where we would take the word no as meaning never, and we would never ask again. Where were we? We really didn't know and didn't know how we got there or how we were going to get out of there, but thank God for Commencement. By way of commencement we found a light at the end of the tunnel, that said maybe one day someone would take us to where we needed to be. Where are we now? We are in a state of reformation. We are rebuilding and have started taking back the organization that once stood for student unity, encouraged student unity and fought as a student unit. Where are we? We are at a turning point. We are turning from the point of melancholy and self-apathy to a new day. A day where we would see the Student Government stand for the principles it was founded on, "to strive to serve its citizens by protecting their rights, fulfilling their needs, promoting their interests, and representing their feelings; and that all authority exercised by a government should be derived from the citizens that government serves while being reflective of the broader society in which that government exists." We are we? We are in a state of second wind. We have run a race, the same race for a number of years. We ran this race in the same place; never taking first place, occasionally falling back, falling down, getting stepped on and ran over and never helped up. We made it up on our feet finally and our second wind has kicked in. We are no longer going to follow the unwritten traditions that did not work. We are no longer going to let others focus on what was done wrong in the past, but what will be done right in the future. Where are we? We are in a state of reparation. We have to redeem our name and our mission. Where are we now? We are in a momentous position. We have been blessed with two visionaries, one being our administrative leader, Chancellor Bardo, and the other our advisor Dr. Bonita Jacobs. We have two individuals who support what the students want and want to see the students get back to the level that they were supposed to be, and we need and plan to take advantage of this. Where are we now? We are in the best position that we can be in, at the best university that we can be a part of and loving every minute of it. Where are we going? We are only going as far as our leadership takes us, and if it is up to me, which it somewhat is for a brief period of time, I plan on going straight to the top. We have to be known as the biggest organization on campus, representing the most people on campus and making the most changes on campus. Why? Because that is our only purpose. A government for the people, by the people. Where are we going? That is an open-ended question that has a number of answers that will be answered and are being answered everyday. We will become a vital part of the campus, the community, and the state. Let's bring this a little closer to home. About 18, 19, 20, or 21years ago a child was born in an average size hospital. That child came out kicking and screaming and just happy to be out of that wet, dark womb. As time progressed that child saw a pattern of events occur. That child saw that if he cried long enough and loud enough that somebody would pay attention. They would not only listen to the cries but they would hear them, and with hearing comes action. Whether or not that action is forced or voluntary it still equals action. That child kicked and screamed for years and now somebody has finally come to check its diaper, or to see if it was hungry. But that child was not satisfied with someone only coming when they cried, so they became potty trained and learned how to make their own food so they could support themselves. That child is you and I. We are now at a state where we can fend for ourselves and this also makes us responsible for our actions. This is where we want to be. In closing, I just want to quote from the book of Romans 5: 3-5 says: "Tribulations worketh patience, and patience experience, and with experience comes hope, and hope maketh not ashame." We have had tribulations, which brought upon our patience and experience, and now we are left with the hope that the tribulations are in the past and we are moving on to a brighter tomorrow, a tomorrow that will promise "Less talk and more Walk." I plan to take us to a new level, but only with the entire body's support will it be accomplished. Joseph R. Monroe, II Rugby Team Offers Condolences The Western Carolina Rugby team would like to express their sincere condolences to the family of J. J. Hubert, a former WCU student and rugger. J.
