from his position because he was
not doing an adequate job,
according to Mr. Wiley Perdue,
business manager of the
Morehouse College.

good job supervising,” said Mr.
Perdue. “Everybody was
complaining about Bradshaw’s
performance as a supervisor. The

complaining, the student body
was complaining, even the
cafeteria staff members were
complaining. For those reasons I
had to fire him’’ replied Mr.
Perdue.

According to Mr. Bradshaw
he was fired because of some
underhanded tactics used by Mr,
Jackson and Mr. Goodman, who
are assistants to the dean of
students.
Mr. Perdue said that no one
encouraged him or had anything
to do with the decision he made to
let Bradshaw go.
Mr. Jackson said he did not
even know Mr. Bradshaw was
fired. Jackson said Bradshaw told
him that he had acquired a
promotion from the managerial
company of his employment,
campus chefs, therefore he was
transferred. Goodman was not
available for comment.
Mr. Bradshaw went on to
say that he had the feelings he
was fired for political reasons, he
failed to state what those political
reasons were. Brawshaw said he
got a raw deal and should have
gotten another chance to manage
the cafeteria.
Mr. Goodman, according to
Bradshaw, was the main reason
for his termination from
Morehouse.
“He’s (Goodman) like a
snake in the grass. He’s
(Goodman) very misleading and
doesn’t always tell the truth,”
said Bradshaw.
Bradshaw also said that
someone had Mr. Goodman spy
on him, but failed to comment on
who Mr. Goodman was spying
for. Goodman was not available
for comment.
According to the cafeteria
staff members Mr. Bradshaw was
doing a fine job, contrary to what
Mr. Perdue said about the staff
members concerning Mr.
Bradshaw most of the cafeteria
staff members said they wish
Bradshaw would come back to
work as the cafeteria manager.
Although one staff member (who
didn’t want her name printed)
said that Mr. Bradshaw wasn’t
stern enough with the students,
and wasn’t doing a good job.
Bradshaw is currently
managing the Morris Brown
Cafeteria.
James Hendley, supervisor
of campus chefs, will be the
acting manager of the cafeteria
until the new manager arrives
Feb. 2.
“No Comments”
Dr. Gloster
NEW YORK -- Michael
Holmes, Morehouse College SGA
president and voting member on
the college’s Board of Trustees
sounded off student concerns
ranging from the absence erf hot
water in DuBois Hall to mice in
the dormitories, at the last
College Board meeting in New
York last month. President
Holmes had no prepared text but
asked board members to listen to
student concerns. The Maroon
Tiger has learned that the SGA
will follow up their concerns with
a proposal for “change.” It was
learned that Student
Representative Anthony Calloway
presented the Board with student
concerns also however the
content of that information is not
known,
Mr. Holmes stated privately
that many students had been
complaining about the lack of hot
water in TtuBois Hall and the
inability of the college to provide
a more beautiful campus
atmosphere. “It is an
embarrassment,” Holmes said,
“when students come here to
check out the school before
enrollment and find out that we
don't even have basketball rims.”
Campus security is another
issue which the SGA is planning
to concern itself with for the
second semester. Recently there
have been a number of robberies
on campus and in certain
instances the Morehouse security
force have shown negligence
according to some parents and
students.
President Hugh Gloster
refused to comment on Mr.
Holmes’ comments noting that
college board discussions are
“confidential.”
The College Board of
Trustees meets twice a year in
December of the first semester
and April of the second semester.
Michael Holmes, Touissant
Hill and Anthony Calloway are
student representatives on the
Board.
