Johnson's climb to the SGA presidency has not been without its hurdles. From his .freshman year at Morehouse, Johnson has encountered controversy, pain, and embarrassment. His SGA presidential campaign almost faded into non-existence before it even began. After being accused of using his position of campus representative with Nike as a bribe, he was brought up on charges the first day of qualifications. The charges were later dropped, and Johnson will move to a position at Nike which will not conflict with his role as SGA President. After rumors surrounding Nike subsided, Johnson's grade point average was put under scrutiny. There was a widespread belief that his GPA was too low for him to run for office. Johnson expressed that he too had. heard rumors and comments surrounding his grades and that his academic standing "should not have been addressed because [the rumor] wasn't true." Johnson claims that the rumor was initiated by another candidate (his name was never stated) after he told the individual his GPA at a scholarship meeting. According to Johnson, his GPA is a 3.2. This does not include his grade point average from last semester. Johnson's GPA was the least of his worries, however. After a blood tumor erupted on the side of his brain, he was forced to leave school for six weeks and receive an incomplete for the Fall semester. Johnson described the tumor as "a painful situation, but not a lingering problem." Since the tumor he has "gone on with his life," and he feels the experience has made him a stronger person. Although he has been able to overcome many challenges, the coming year will show students whether Antonio Johnson can handle the obstacles he is sure to face as the new SGA President. ,<• /%''f „4 —z „„y ,/ Wednesday, May 1 THE MAROON TIGER aYI «Y Y YOÄ YoY PAGE 6 Freaknik Receives Mixed Reviews from Visitors and Residents
