“It’s All Good” BSLF! BSC! and OSAD! Some of us didn’t know what the acronym OSAD meant. This subject is visited again on page 2 however, a student of African Descent attending State University of New York at Brockport during the late 60’s and early 70’s was in all likelihood, connected with the student government organization called “BSLF.” There was a brief name change in the late 70’s to “BSC.” So it isn’t surprising that many African American Students matriculating during this era never heard the acronym “OSAD.” Regardless of what the student organization was named during our academic careers, one thing is certain… this group embraced and love the campus and our heritage.

CONNECTIONS One very important thing we must realize is this: we are connected to all. We are connected to the trees, the birds, the raindrops, the animals, other people, everything that exists is connected to us electrically. We are all made of the same substance: energy. This means that EVERYONE is our brother or sister, and we have kinship with every thing that exists. We should deal with every person and every thing respectfully, and with great thought and care, realizing that our thoughts and beliefs about each person and thing can effect them… for the “Good.” This is “ All Good.”
