Chinese Moon Festival provides diversity through culture for students

similar to the events of the evening at JSU.

Candace ChambersVariety Editor

After food was served, a Chi-nese tea ceremony was held and

“Say it loud, I’m Black and I’m proud,” said Cynthia M. A. Butler-McIntyre as she addressed students at Jackson State Univer-sity on the annual Black College Day program.

Sponsored by the Jackson State University Student Govern-ment Association, students fi lled the auditorium to hear what this year’s speaker had to say at the event held on Tuesday, Sept. 24th.

“Happy Black College Day,” said McIntyre as she acknowl-edged the day as a celebration of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s).

Butler-McIntyre posed this question to the audience, “Why do we pause to celebrate our black colleges and universities? If not us then who, if not now then when; we must celebrate our in-

stitutions of higher learning.” There are more than 105 HB-

CU’s around the world fi lled with more than 370,000 students pur-suing degrees.

Butler-McIntyre served as the 24th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and is a graduate of Dillard University in New Orleans, La. An educa-tor for more than 30 years, she currently serves as a director of human resources for the Jeffer-son Parish Public School System in Harvey, La., and has devoted her time and energy to a lifelong commitment of service through professional, civic, and religious organizations.

Butler-McIntyre centered her speech around three points; the head, the heart and the hands.

“The knowledge that you are gathering in this place will get you far but the thoughts you think sometime will hold you down. You have to be able to think situ-

On the night of a full moon, Jackson State University received a gift of Chinese culture at the Chi-nese Moon Festival held on Sept. 19, 2013.

The celebration provided an opportunity for students to come together to learn, fellowship, and embrace a way of life common in China.

The festival is one China’s most important celebrations and can be compared to Thanksgiv-ing in America. Also known as the Mid-Autumn festival, the day of festivity occurs on the 15th of the 8th month on the lunar calen-dar. During the festival, families enjoy the full moon, eat dinner, and enjoy moon cakes and hot tea,

Students urged to live the legacy on Black College Day

students demonstrated the making of tea along with providing a brief history of the ceremony. Ya’ah, Chi-na grows the most expensive tea in the world.

In China, calligraphy, a form of visual writing, is a highly respected art form. It means “Good Writing” or “Beautiful Writing.” Jackson State student, Boling Zhao wrote, “We are really enjoying this festi-val,” for the audience’s enjoyment.

In an effort to increase academic diversity on campus, Jackson State has Memorandums of Understand-ing with various universities in Chi-na. Some include Minzu University of China in Beijing, Shaanxi Nor-mal University in Xi’an, and Nan-tong University in Nantong Jiangsu.

Hongtao Yu, Professor and Chair of the Biochemistry Depart-ment at JSU emphasized the impor-tance of increasing diversity, not just Chinese culture.

“Students at Jackson State should embrace all cultures. You are competing against peo-ple from other countries to fi nd jobs,” said Yu.

With approximately 380 in-ternational students and schol-ars on campus, events like the Chinese Moon Festival aid in the appreciation of different cul-tures.

Hua Deng, a Graduate stu-dent, biochemistry major from Badond, China believes that students should willingly learn more about Chinese cultures.

“JSU is becoming more di-verse and more students come from China. This circumstance may facilitate understanding about Chinese life style,” said

ations outside of the textbook,” she stated.

In her second point she urged students to love people even when they don’t love you and to show someone that would not expect it, the love you have for them.

“Care about something more than yourself and ask yourself what do you care about so much that you are willing to die for,” said the former elementary school teacher.

Lastly, she instructed students to use their hands to make a dif-ference in someone’s life, stating that one must serve without being asked to.

“I charge every student to keep the legacy at Jackson State alive. What student will you recruit to have this experience,” said Butler-McIntyre.

The Flash wants to know what you have to say . . . . . “What do you think is the legacy of HBCU’s?”

Arriana RieoandFreshmanBiologySacramento, Calif.“I think the legacy of HB-CUs is the opportunity of education and different types of jobs and experi-ences.”

Lakeidre DavisSeniorBiology/ Con: Pre-Physi-cal TherapyJackson, Miss.

“I believe that the legacy of HBCU is based off of family and tradition.”

When Historically Black Colleges and Universities are brought up in con-versations of people that never attended them many different stereotypes come up.

HBCUs are often thought to be institutions that lack diversity, that our professors and students are incompetent, that we love to party and that our degrees aren’t worth any-thing after graduation compared to receiving a degree from a predomi-nantly white institution. However, we are far more advanced than those ste-reotypes.

I think people some-times forget the legacy that makes black colleges and universities so special, unique, and incomparable. As a Michigan native, I of-ten debate with my peers

back at home about why I chose to attend an HBCU. I believe I did not choose to go to an HBCU, going to an HBCU chose me. It’s something that you get from attending one of these institutions that can-not be bought or professed. The experience is indefi -nitely priceless.

Jackson State Universi-ty is one of 105 black insti-tutions. Just like any other HBCU, JSU has a rich his-torical background. From the fi rst original class at Natchez Seminary consist-ing of only 20 freed slaves, JSU has grown to having a history breaking enroll-ment rate of 9,134 students as of Fall 2013.

The roots of HBCU’s run deep, but the only way we will keep our HBCU’s thriving for generations to come is by learning and exemplifying the legacy of them. The Black Col-lege Day celebration held this week is a reminder to me that as a student, I am a representation of my university and that I am re-sponsible for carrying on the legacy.

I think in the midst of being at JSU, we as stu-dents forget the real reason why we are here; that we walk upon sacred grounds. Days like Founder’s Day, which is celebrated on Oc-tober 23rd every year at JSU, is a reminder of the trials, tribulations, and tri-umphs it took to call this university our “Dear Ol’ College Home.’

Zachariah GivensSophomoreSociologyChicago, Ill.

“I believe the legacy of HBCU’s is empowerment. If you go anywhere else, there’s information about life and society that you won’t be able to get.”

Timothy StanfordSeniorMusic EducationGary, Ind.“I believe the legacy of any HBCU is to give any student the chance to gain an affordable higher educa-tion. ”

Terica HudsonSeniorCriminal JusticeChicago, Ill.“The legacy is a foundation in the sense of who we are. It molds us to be prepared, not just in the African-American community but all commu-nities.”

Keonte TurnerJuniorBiology/Pre-MedBenton Harbor, Mich.“I think the legacy of the HBCU is the ability to serve as a gateway between African-Americans and success and ultimately affecting the sur-rounding community.”

Page 3 - September 26, 2013The Blue & White Flash

According to thinkh-bcu.org fact sheets, HB-CUs enroll upwards of 370,000 students and graduate a signifi cant share of all African-Americans receiving de-grees. Of the three per-cent of the United States’ 3,688 institutions of higher learning, 105 HB-CUs are responsible for producing approximately 23 percent of bachelor’s degrees, 13 percent of all master’s degrees, and 20 percent of all doctorates awarded each year.

HBCU’s are also known for making com-munity service a re-quirement before it was required. I feel that is one of the main factors that will forever make HBCU’s incomparable to other institutions.

We should be proud to have chosen a university where you can in addi-tion to receiving a quality education, learn how to become a member of so-ciety through giving ser-vice to others. The values learned at an HBCU like Jackson State University are helpful not only dur-ing enrollment but after graduating. The success we achieve after gradua-tion is the living legacy of HBCU’s!

The views expressed in the commentary are those of the writer(s) and in no way represent the views of The Blue & White Flash.

Deabra Gray Mass CommunicationsSophomoreJackson, Miss.

“HBCUs provide an av-enue for black students to receive a first rate educa-tion that is centered around their own heritage.”

Darnisha Spraggins English EducationJuniorClarksville, Tenn.“I think the legacy of HB-CUs is to educate African-Americans and to further educate them post gradua-tion.”

Tasha ThigpenEnglish EducationJunior Jackson, Miss.

“I think the legacy of HB-CUs is to not only leave a lasting positive impres-sion on the students that attend the school, but also the community as well.”

Michael SmithComputer TechnicalitiesJuniorFlowood, Miss.“To give African-Amer-ican students a fi ghting chance in the working world and an opportunity to carry on your school’s name.”

Aechari TerrellBiochemistrySophomoreKingston, Jamaica“To provide an equal opportunity for African-Americans who were not allowed into “white” col-leges and universities.”

Benjamin ReynoldsMathematics EducationSeniorJackson, Miss.

“It’s to establish an everlast-ing academic and social ex-cellence through the diver-sity of education.”

COMMENTARY

Robria DanielsMC 301 Writer

Remember when the best up-date for your cellular device was Snake II on your life-size Nokia phone? Or when Tetris was the addictive cell phone game before the Candy Crush Saga of trying to obtain every level possible began? Well thanks to Apple, all of that is now a mere image of the past.

A new array of technological advancements has swept through the nation yet again by way of IOS7; making some, in the words of rap artist Rich Homie Quan “feel some type of way.

On Sept. 18, Apple’s iPhone users sat still with much awaited anticipation for the release of the IOS7 update. A few new features include; Control Center, Air Drop, a new and improved Siri, blocking unwanted calls and texts, listening

chology major from Louisville, Miss., plays on the other side of the fence when it comes to cellular devices. She is the proud owner of

Page 4 - September 26, 2013The Blue & White Flash NewsiPhone IOS7 update welcomed by many students

to iTunes radio and new camera features.

Jordan Carter, a sophomore political science major from Flo-wood, Miss., said, “I feel as though Apple is always up to something that will be pleasing to its users. I think the features of the update are cute and are by far better than the other advances they’ve made.”

Precious Haynes, a graduate student in the Master’s of English program from Jones Town, Miss., initial response to the update was not enthusiastic.

“I really don’t see anything special in the update. Because I am a bit older, the things that may excite others don’t have a sin-cere heartfelt affect on me,” said Haynes.

However, Haynes does admit that the update does have some advantages.

Aleatrice Poe, a senior psy-

a Droid Motorola. “The hype was completely out

of control. Students were almost at a stand still waiting around for

the update to completely down-load which took hours. It was almost like the anticipation of a Black Friday sale item,” said Poe.

Poe along with Latanya Moore, a residence life Coordina-tor in McAllister-Whiteside Resi-dence Hall both agree on the hype being out of control. Moore is the owner of an android phone as well as an Apple iPad.

“I would honestly have to say that they [android phones and iPhones] are at a tie. On my android, I can download apps without the use of a credit card or credit card information which always comes in handy and with my update of IOS7, it works bet-ter and faster with my iPad which is needed seeing as though I use it quite often.”

Will IOS7 remain the hype topic of fall 2013? Will android users switch to Apple Products? Only time will tell.

Deng.Fabio Russo, a Brazilian

student in the JSU English as a Second Language program, enjoyed the learning opportu-nity.

“It was such a fun festival.

I learned more about the Chi-nese culture and the festival,” said Russo.

LaQuinta Johnson, a social science major from Jackson, Miss. agreed.

“I liked it. I learned about the Moon Festival and about the ceremony,” she said.

Council was inspired by Mc-Intyre’s charge to civic engage-ment.

“My organization was built on service, much like Histori-cally Black Colleges and Uni-versities. Her words left me confident that my service is not only to my university, but also to my community...she shed light on the NPHC in the African-American community and it made it more evident to me that I must be a beacon for those blazing the path behind,” said Stokes who is a history major at Jackson State.

Butler-McIntyre also ac-knowledged her fellow sisters and brothers of the Divine Nine Greek organizations that were present.

“When I went to Dillard, I walked into a legacy...you must realize that you have assembled yourself in an atmosphere of expectancy when you walked onto Jackson State’s campus,” she stated.

She added, “Greats like Martin Luther King, Ruth Sim-mons, Beverly Tatum, Debbie Allen and Tom Joyner all trail-blazed an atmosphere of expec-tancy that is unparalleled to any ivy-league school,” she said.

“What’s your name? What’s your level of expectancy while you are matriculating at JSU?” McIntyre asked the audience.

Butler-McIntyre’s speech garnered a standing ovation by students, faculty and staff.

“Tonight’s program touched on a lot of key points that will help you grow as a leader in life, she had a very power-ful message,” said sophomore physics major Jasmine Douglas from Dallas, Texas.

Henry Goss, Sophomore Class President was wowed by Butler McIntyre’s speech.

“Mrs. McIntyre’s speech was simply magnificent. She reminded us all that we have of level of expectancy that we must not only uphold, but sur-pass,” said Goss, a mass com-munications major from Jack-son, Miss.

Angela Shelvy, a sophomore social work major from Pearl, Miss., said: “Once Dr. Butler-McIntrye stood to speak, she peaked my interest by telling the story of a great philosopher and I was anxious to know but she took her time. The entire program caught my attention and had me wanting to hear more. It was not my intentions to stay throughout the whole program, but I could not find myself to move for fear I would miss something.”

As the fifth entry in the “Ded-ication” series, New Orleans bred rapper Lil Wayne released “Dedi-cation 5” on Sept. 1, 2013. In re-cent years, we have seen Wayne’s transition from a leading title-holder in the rap industry to a guy that references skateboarding and his clothing label, Trukfit, in every verse he spits.

After hearing “Dedication 4” in 2012, I was not up for being reminded that my once favorite rapper was not what he used to be. I mean, I had not even heard of anyone anticipating the mix-tape’s release.

I went to Live Mixtapes for the download (it’s free), sat down with a notebook, and pressed play for track one. Instantly, you hear that it’s a DJ Drama produc-tion. The Weeknd proves to be a nice feature for the first track, and if you’ve listened to previous works in the “Dedication” series, you will notice that this one has a slightly different vibe.

Lil Wayne redeems himself with “Dedication 5” mixtapePatrick Lane, a junior mass

communications major from Me-ridian, Miss. said, “Dedication 5” is a good starting point for Wayne to rework himself and become an industry leader again.”

Preceding tracks are pretty standard of Lil Wayne mixtapes—revamped industry beats from other artists. I have always had the mentality that if an artist is going to rap over another artist’s beat, they should bring some-thing innovative with the flow and essentially “kill it”, or at least do it better than the original rap-per. His beat sampling of Kend-rick Lamar’s “Don’t Kill My Vibe,” and Kanye West’s “New Slaves” was definitely not innovative.

Nicole Williams, a junior the-atre major from Ridgeland, Miss., was pleased with the latest offer-ing from Lil Wayne.

“This isn’t his best production, but it is so much better than “D4” was. You can tell he put more of himself into this one,” said Wil-liams.

Other than the signature re-petitive similes and basic rhyme schemes I noticed throughout “D5,” Lil Wayne seems more en-

gaged with his listeners. It has a spectrum of material from fresher sounding tracks like “You Song” featuring up-and-coming Chicago artist, Chance the Rap-per, to a grittier David Banner produced, “Thinkin About You” which is dedicated to Hollygrove, the 17th Ward of New Orleans.

In a Hip-hopDX.com review, William Ketchum III states, “To Wayne’s credit, Dedication 5 is the best the series has showcased since its legendary sequel from seven years ago, even if it pales in comparison. Occasionally, the YMCMB head honcho shows that he still has a portion of the skills that earned him his spot among rap’s elite.”

Ashlee Brown, a senior politi-cal science major from Jackson, Miss. said, “This mixtape sort of reminds me of the old Wayne. I respect his ability to be diverse and appease a larger audience, but this is more of the style that I like.”

Top industry names like T.I, 2Chainz, and Cash Money’s own artists Gudda Gudda and Lil Chuckee are among the featured artists on “Dedication 5.”

Male fashion trendsetters at JSU stress professionalismsuit, this just means that your clothes should be trim and fitting to your body type. I feel like every guy should have at least one pair of slim fitting pants in their closet.

4. Burgundy - Burgundy is the new black and is that color that you can make work with just about anything because complements just about every color. It is the basic es-sential color that you need in your closet.

5. Camo - Camouflage is that go-to in your closet for every man. Camo goes with every color and just about any kind of shirt. If all else fails, wear camo.

6. Bucks - These shoes can be worn as dress shoes or casual shoes. They come in all colors and are not too expensive. There is nothing bet-ter then having a good pair of bucks that work with your outfit.

7. Solid color button downs - An absolute must have for the fall and winter months are your button down shirts. They complete your ur-ban hipster look. With the right pair of chinos and a good pair bucks, this fit would be killing the game.

8. Jean Jacket- The guaranteed go-to for any fit is the denim jacket. A denim jacket, whether light or dark will go with whatever you put on under it.

9. Aztec Print- Something new is the Aztec print. It is a primal print

that incorporates a lot of colors and designs but it is something that is become very popular in style, espe-cially with hipsters.

10. Wrist wear/Socks- And the final two things to set your outfit is wrist wear, which is your crazy bracelets and wristbands and SOCKS!!!! The right pair of socks can make your whole fit.

Even though many may display some of the liberal trends above ev-eryone has the freedom of style.

Shawn Hubbard, a junior com-puter engineering major from of Vicksburg, Miss. said, “Different people have different styles. People should be able to wear whatever they want to, nobody should be able to harass them about.”

Gaston Douglas, a freshman business major from Washington, D.C. and an employee of Finish Line Inc., said, “Style is what you make it. As someone who works in a shoe store and a mall, I get to see many styles. I do believe that you can have your own swag and still maintain professionalism. Its all about the in-dividual.”

Your style is what you make it, so don’t be afraid to try something different. Go out and start your own trends. Just remember, professional-ism is key.

don’t know, joggers are basically slim sweatpants. They can be worn with button downs or t-shirts and can re-ally set your style off because a lot of people do not know what they are, and thus a lot don’t have. This item could really be the difference be-tween you and the next man.

3. Slim-Fit - Guys, slim is in!!! This does not mean wear a body

With so many different styles and trends available, your style can be whatever you want it to be. To differentiate yourself from the next person and lead the fashion charge this fall, here is a list of the top 10 items and trends that are a must for

the fashionable man in 2013.1. Chinos -Like your favorite

pair of jeans, chinos are a must for any trendsetter. These pants add a bit of a preppy look to your ward-robe and can be worn with a but-ton down or a graphic T-shirt. They can also be worn rolled up or with a standard cuff.

Tigers defeat Texas Southern in fan appreciation gameAthletic Media Relations

The Jackson State football team im-proved to a 2-2 overall record and a 2-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference record by beating the Texas Southern Tigers 35-7 in a nationally televised ESPNU game at Mis-sissippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.

JSU outgained Texas Southern 295 total offensive yards to 149. The JSU Tigers dom-inated on the ground tallying 214 rushing yards and the “Dark Side Defense” lived up to its name and held Texas Southern to 38 rushing yards. Texas Southern was limited to only eight first downs while JSU totaled 19 for the game.

JSU made the most of its red zone op-portunities, going 4-4 (all four touchdowns).

Jackson State got on the scoreboard first when Clayton Moore scored on a two yard run at the 5:20 mark in the first quarter. Ryan Deising’s extra point kick gave JSU a 7-0 lead. Texas Southern tied the game at the 3:57 mark in the second quarter when Daveon Porter scored on his own two-yard run. Eric Medina’s point after kick made the score 7-7.

Ariane McCree and Javancy Jones com-bined on a special teams play that put JSU

ahead for the rest of the game. McCree blocked a Texas Southern punt and Jones scooped the football up in the endzone for the go-ahead score. Deising’s extra point kick gave JSU a 14-7 lead going into half-time.

Rakeem Sims scored two touchdowns in the third quarter. He capped an eight play, 73-yard drive with a two-yard run at the 5:42 mark. With 32 seconds left in the quar-ter he capped a six play, 45-yard drive with a one-yard run. JSU finished its scoring at the 10:30 mark in the fourth quarter. Sedmon Capler scored on a two-yard run.

Clayton Moore led the JSU offense as he finished with 86 rushing yards and a touchdown and 81 passing yards. Tommy Gooden had seven attempts for 46 yards and Sims rushed for 37 yards on 11 attempts to go along with his two touchdowns.

Gooden was also Moore’s favorite target as he hauled in four passes for 22 yards. To-bias Singleton followed with two receptions for 47 yards.

Javancy Jones led the team in tackles with seven and two quarterback sacks. Mc-Cree followed with six tackes and a tackle for loss.

Tigers head to the bayou for battle against Jaguars

This Saturday, the Jackson State Uni-versity Tigers will be declaring war in Ba-ton Rouge, La. as they battle against the Southern University Jaguars in their long awaited and intense rivalry game.

Hot off their victory against Texas Southern last week, they hope to decimate the Jaguars in a game which may decide which of the two teams will make it to Houston, Texas for the 2013 Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship.

Previously in 2012, JSU lost against an upgraded and well balanced SU at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in Jackson, Miss. with the score 28-21. Expecting a hard fought battle this time, Head Coach of the Tigers, Rick Comegy sees this game as something much bigger than a rivalry.

“This game here is very important. It’s an important game not just as a rivalry, but for us to get to Houston. And they’re (Southern’s) a good football team. They’ve got a great quarterback and they’ve got a good defense who gets after you pretty

good. I can see why they’ve beat some people and they seem polished. They’ve created a good football team and recruit-ed well. But I think if we go in there play-ing good sound football and not make too many turnovers like we did last week against Texas Southern, we ought to be able to be okay and hang in there with them. I think we can hang in there with the best and edge them out,” said Comegy.

Despite the win last week, Comegy plans on improving the offense to cut back on the turnovers they have been making during the season.

“We shut down on our pass game a little bit last week and we didn’t throw as much to hurt ourselves. We found out that we could run the football a little bit last week, but I think our quarterback Clayton Moore is getting much, much better with his reads and his progression on who to throw to. I think he may have been a bit gun shy throwing the ball last week only because of what happened, but he’s got to get out of that; we’ve got to play football,” said Comegy

“We’ve got to be mistake free and we’ve got to play a good football game in all three phases. Especially special teams, they’ve blocked one on us last year and now we’ve got to make sure those things don’t happen. And we’ve got to fight for field position. I think field position’s going to be important,” he added.

The JSU vs. SU football game has been a long and intense rivalry since they first met in 1929.

With both of their 2013 season records

standing at 2-2, this appears to be a make or break game as both are favored in the SWAC East and SWAC West respectively to win the SWAC Championship. The cur-rent record for the series stands at 29-28 with SU leading.

While Tiger fans expect a very tough battle this weekend against Southern they remain optimistic that Jackson State will be victorious

Kennard Brown, a freshman crimi-nal justice major from Miami, Fla., and a member of the Tiger football team, said: “Me, I’m a diehard Jackson State fan and we’re going to win this game. We got to prove a point because we’re on the road to a championship to Houston right now so we got unfinished business. Southern is in our way right now so we got to go through them and just keep going. This train got to keep on rolling.”

Jovonda Flowers, a junior physical ed-ucation major from Jackson, Miss., said: “I feel that this game is going to be really intense and everyone should go and sup-port the Jackson State Tigers in their game against Southern.”

Lakita Brown, a senior elementary education major from Baton Rouge, La., said: “I expect that Southern is going to be in for a rude awakening when Jackson State comes and they bring that awesome defense and that strong offense. I saw how they played against Texas Southern and they had a lot of good plays that lead them to their 35-7 victory.
