Opening first tab of jquery accordion when page loads

Question

Hello, I am wondering how I would make the first tab of my accordion to open when the page loads. It is a custom accordion and therefore it is hard to find the answer online.
I want this to be specific to a certain page if possible rather than universal across the site.
Here is the HTML:
<div id="st-accordion" class="st-accordion">
                    <ul>
                        <li>
                            <a href="#">Lorem ipsum<span class="st-arrow">Open or Close</span></a>
                            <div class="st-content">
                                <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque consequat auctor ante, sodales pretium felis auctor in. Aenean tempor, orci vel vestibulum lobortis, justo augue laoreet turpis, id consectetur dolor arcu sed arcu. Sed id dolor tellus. Nulla eros risus, sollicitudin in ultricies ac, tincidunt et nisl. Nam ac consectetur est. Morbi pretium libero in lacus semper ultricies. Vestibulum in nibh a ligula malesuada posuere ac vel lorem. Duis varius scelerisque vehicula. Maecenas convallis tellus in tellus facilisis eget sollicitudin est lacinia. Ut quam tortor, pretium non lacinia sit amet, iaculis ac ipsum. Donec quis libero accumsan felis fringilla pulvinar eget in leo.</p>
                            </div>
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <a href="#">Lorem ipsum<span class="st-arrow">Open or Close</span></a>
                            <div class="st-content">
                                <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque consequat auctor ante, sodales pretium felis auctor in. Aenean tempor, orci vel vestibulum lobortis, justo augue laoreet turpis, id consectetur dolor arcu sed arcu. Sed id dolor tellus. Nulla eros risus, sollicitudin in ultricies ac, tincidunt et nisl. Nam ac consectetur est. Morbi pretium libero in lacus semper ultricies. Vestibulum in nibh a ligula malesuada posuere ac vel lorem. Duis varius scelerisque vehicula. Maecenas convallis tellus in tellus facilisis eget sollicitudin est lacinia. Ut quam tortor, pretium non lacinia sit amet, iaculis ac ipsum. Donec quis libero accumsan felis fringilla pulvinar eget in leo </p> 
                            </div>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function() {
                                        $('#st-accordion').accordion({
                                                  oneOpenedItem          : true
        </script>
                    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.accordion.js"></script>
            </div>
