Black Like Me Griffin , who disgu ised h imself as a Negro and traveled through four Southern states, recor ded his incredible experiences in his highly renowned book, Black Like Me. As Leon Wilson of the "Book-of-theMonth Club News" remarked, "Had a Negro written this stor y of animal existence , some of us .might tend to disbelieve it; because a white man has written it, white readers will be inescapably with him throu gh every harrowing experience. " Griffin 's Life Born in 1920, Griffin has lived in Texas a good part of his life, except for school years in France , war year s in the Pacific , and the year in France when he graduall y lost his sight as a result of a wartime injury. In 1952, his sight was re stored , yet , while he was blind he wrote two novels, The Devil Rides Outside and Nuni. His next book , Scattered Shadows , will cover the ten years when he was blind. Abuse Follows Articles Afte r articles about his southern tri p appeared in SEPIA magazine and he was interviewed on television programs , Griffin was burned in effigy in his hometown of Mansfield , Texas. Then a cross was burned above his house , and his family received threatening letters. But the South in general responded differentl y—only one out of every hundred letters Griffin received was abusive. Described as a skillful reporter , darin g investigato r, and superb speaker , Griffin will no doubt refer to many, of his exploits at the convocation. In addition a limited number of copies of Black Like Me will be on sale in the college book store. , JUNIORS—Please return yearbook p roof s immedi atel y ARW Electio n Winners (Continued on page 4) Coeds Compete For Beauty Crow n Bloomsbur g State College will be represented in th e annual Miss Eastern Pennsylvania Pa geant by four sophomore co-eds: Susan Mazur , Gail Bower , Lorraine Hippauf and Rebecca Ward.

A FAIR DEAL The following editorial is reprinted from the J anuary 19, 1967 issue of the Maroon and Gold to coincide zvith the story (page 1) on the meeting of the Academic Council last week. College is a series of tests. They begin the first week of the freshman year and continue until the last week before commencement. It is upon these tests, to a great extent, that a student's success, or lack of success, is measured. These tests, then, are vital in the grade-oriented institution. It is the responsibility of the student to prepare himself mentally for these tests. It is his responsibility to attend class and take comprehensive notes. It is his responsibility to study and learn the material upon which he is to be tested. It is his responsibility to think and reason in his efforts to do the best work possible, regardless of the course. If the student does not fulfill his responsibility, he has no one to blame but himself. He has chosen not to take the learning process seriously, and the test results will be the final witness to his efforts. Case closed. Or is it? Shall our commentary end here with the burden placed solely on the shoulders of the student? Is the instructor to be let off "scot-free"? Hardly. Any test is j ust as much the responsibility of the instructor as the student. It is the responsibility of the instructor to author a test which fairly tests the student's knowledge of the material presented. It is his responsibility to present questions that are clearly phrased and easily interpreted. It is his responsibility to recognize the time limits which exist and not expect students to answer a three-hour question in 45 minutes. It Ls his responsibility to use the type of test which best measures the student's mastery, and not the one which is easiest to correct and score. It is his responsibility not to take the easy way out by administering a test in which guesswork, and not knowledge, is measured. It is his responsibility to protect the honest student in cases where more than one class is tested on the same material, that is, different tests should be used to eliminate "leaks". It is his responsibility to insure that tests don't get "out" prior to the time of the test. It is his responsibility to change his tests from year to year or else distribute old tests so all students are on an equal footing. It is his responsibility to be "awake" while the test is being administered to prevent students from taking advantage of the instructor and his fellow students by cheating. It is evident both the instructor and the student share in the responsibilities of the testing system. Only if both parties take their responsibilities seriously and conscientiously can the system of testing be valid and valuable. Otherwise, it's a big j oke. And the students usually lose. "Creative America" is the theme of the pavilion of the UNITED STATES at Expo '67. The actual pavilion is a huge bubble-dome 187 feet high and 250 feet across made of plastic and glass sheets and housing exhibits to illustrate notable American accomplishments in the arts, space and technology. The most outstanding feature from outside are two parachutes of orange. ¦¦ .

The track team, for instance, Has its practice sessions and home meets at Central Columbia High School. The Baseball team practices and has its home games at the Light Street Field. You can find the tennis team at the Bloomsburg Tennis Club and the Golf Team commutes to Briar Heights. , * * * What all this adds up to is a lot of traveling with its accompanying disadvantages for both athletes and spectators. With BSC right in the heart of the Blizzard Belt, spring practice sessions for all the teams are too limited to properly prepare for their respective opening performances. Add to this the necessity of traveling all over the countryside just to find a place to get in what few practices they can and it's obvious that the teams are fighting a losing battle. * * Then consider the support that the teams get from' the student body; it's almost non-existent and not too difficult to understand. Tennis and golf aren't exactly the world's most exciting spectator sports, track isn't very interesting for the uninitiated, and baseball games (especially doubleheaders) have a nasty tendency of turning into marathons. Then too, the person who really wants to see the teams in action has to overcome impossible obstacles. If he can find transportation to the event, he probably has classes; if he doesn't have class, he probably won't be able to find a ride anyway. GREAT! ? Coach Tom Davies' BSC baseball team opened the 1967 season with a 9-5 victory over fiast * Stroudsburg. Since it was the opening game for both teams there were mistakes and errors which will be worked on and corrected before the two teams meet later this season. Gibble Pitches As expected BSC pitching ace Bob Gibble, a junior, pitched a fine game, giving up five hits and striking out 12 Warriors. Bob went all the way while ESSC used three pitchers in the nine inning game. Gibble is expected to be one of the top pitchers if not the best in the State College Conference. At the other end of the plate Jerry Devlin, Tom Wenner and "Red" Callahan led the team with a total of seven hits among them. Devlin was the leader with two doubles, a single, and two rbi's. Altogether the team had a total of nine hits—enough to win, but in the future the load is expected to be more evenly divided.

Reitz and Underhill had four hits t apiece while the rest of the team banged out seven more. The pitching department offered some promise as the dynamic left-handed duo of Lamar Beinhower and Steve Klinger gave up only two earned runs with Beinhower, the winner, hurling the first seven innings and Klinger mopping up the last two. The key hit of the game was Reitz's long homer with one man aboard, providing the Pups with a comfortable, early lead. Coach Harris was pleased with the team's performance and commented that with a little more hard work, they will be tough to beat. Harry Logan DICK IININILD , Managar ... FRESHMEN WIN 20 I .
