Perdue: Partnership Perdue informed the students that in order to create the partnership between the school, one must concern himself with obtaining entry, as well as, remaining at Morehouse. In addressing this issue, Vice- President for Business Affairs injected that “it must be placed in proper context.” This context which he referred to was that of “economic difficulties.” These difficulties that many students are confronted with are due to Reganomics.

Talking, reading of newspapers, or sleeping during assembly he said, will not be tolerated. Vice-President Williams emphasized that any students caught exhibiting dis respect during assembly will be dealt with accordingly. Vandalism is a problem in which Williams hoped that will not occur this year. The school, he remarked, can not afford to spend thousands of dollars to repair vandalized residence halls. The destruction of bathroom fixtures, doors and ceilings in residence halls reduce the schools capital, which could be used for improvement elsewhere in the institution, he contended. Williams emphasiz ed that if vandelism occurs in a residence hall and the perpetrator is not apprehended, the entire floor where the destruction occured will be billed for the damage. But the main concern of Williams was the drug problem on the campus. He called Morehouse Men “A unique brand of young men who know what is right and do it” and therefore expects no one to get in trouble with drugs. But if any student is found guilty of poces sion, sale, or consumption of drugs, "He should pack his bags and get on the next train. Williams added “We do have a responsibility to ensure that the rules and regulations of the College are upheld. He advised students to consult 'The Student Hand Book' page 18. Williams affirmed that the doors to his office are open because "1 am concerned about the welfare of Morehouse students.” Celebrating Our 60th Year
