By Tom Brennen
Serious objection must be
raise d to the M&G's policy of
censorshi p in regard to published and copywri ted poems. The issue in question is a p oem wr itten
by Bill Knott who was a guest
of the English Department last
month. His poem had been quoted in an art icle which I wro te
and appeared in the M&G. In
readin g that issue I found that
three crucial letters in a wellknown Saxon word had been deleted f rom the p oem , not from
my anal ysis and impres sions of

And yet the Editor of the M&G
or a higher administrator has
seen fit to desecrate and prositute this noble venture . By fundamentally restructuring the letters and words of the artist this
censor considers his judgement
and pr ejudices concerning 'good
taste ' higher than that of the
entire college community , more
legal th an th at of the nat ion's
courts , and more literar y in a
cr itical sense than the publish er and editor who fir st printed
the author 's works.

This , I feel, is,a ser ious breach wor d considered obscene ? Obon the art istic endeav ors.of the scene in the legal sense is depoet . Surely Mr . Knott labored fined as tending to stir the sex
painfully over his poems , as all Impulses or to lead to sexual impoets do in composing, chosing pulse and lustful thought . Surely
hi s wor d s and sentences ver y this simple anti-war poem is not

As a ' 69 creative photography annua l, it' s a rous ing success. "
Thus far , compliments seem to

for the sake of general inform ation , the OBITE R constitution
says that "The composition of
the OBITER " shall be determined
by "the editor in chief of the OBITER and no other person ." In

About
Drugs and
Athletes
New York , November 18— Buffalo Bill' s halfback O.J. Simpson, considered to be the greatest runn ing back in college football histor y, and the Detroit Tiger 's Denny Me Lain , the first
pitcher in 34 years to win 30
games in a season , agree th at
there will be a continuing usage
of dru gs by athletes in the next
decade .
Th e f ollowing conversat ion
took place between Simpson and
McLain during a round-ta ble discussion for SPORT maga zine on
the future of sports in the 1970» s.
Simpson: I know guys who take
those bennies and I think it's more
of a psychological thin g than
physical .
McLain: I know guys who take
them in baseball and I think they
work.
SPORT: Do you think this trend
will intensify in the '70s and maybe get out of hand ?
Simpson: I think it's gonna keep
going because the competition is
tougher and there 's more needf or
it. Whenever there is a need for
it , somebody 's gonna fill it....
Well , I've seen guys in college
takin g bennies and stuff like that.
That 's ever ywhere , I don't care
what anybody says. There 's guys
on just about everything in football. Maybe even in baseba ll they
take bennie s and stuff to get up
for a game. And football is such
an emotional game...
McLain: Sure , you look at base ball: We play 162 ballgames and
boy, you need something to get
you ud.
SPORT: We 've hear d about a
start ing pitche r takin g a couple
before a game and then going out
and getting knocked out in the
fir st innin g and he's gone for the
next five hours.
McLain: I' ve seen it too , old
buddy....
SPORT: Well, because of the
Injury factor and the fac t that you
have to perform and perform
well, do you think this trend will
cont inue ?
McLa in: It has to.

Prosseda Proposes
New Grade System

A new grading system , which

realistic evaluation of student
achievement, had been proposed
by Jeffrey Prosseda , CGA President.

grade "...the 'B' span on the present 4.0 scale,"he stated, "ranges
from 3.0 to 3.99. It would seem
that a middle B would be 3.5,
while a B- would be scaled at a
3.00 level. Thus, when a student
at BSC has a B* or a B in any
given course, lie is (under the
present system) given a B-(3.00)
credit for the course .

necessity in education ," he said.

course evaluation I propose the

Pledges

The XI Lamda Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, National Ser- ,
vice Fraternity at Bloomsburg
State College, inducted its fall
semester pledge class on M onday, November 3, 1969.This was
the most active pledge class in
the six-year history of A.P.O.
on this college campus, with
many pledges exceeding 100
hours of service to the campus,
community , nation and fraternity.
During the six-week pledging
period each pledge lived up to
the three cardinal principles of
Alpha Phi Omega: Leadership,
Friendship, and Service. Under
the guidance of pledgemaster Jerry Burnsby, they participated in
many proj ects too numerous to
mention. In addition, they constructed the winning float for the
1969 Homecoming, making this
the second consecutive year that
A.P.O. has taken that honor.
The new A.p.o. Brothers are
Jim Brewer, Chuck Diehle, Joe
Goode, E. Barry Greb, Jay Pops,
Dave Pugh , Scott Rogers, Tom
Turner, and Dave Weller.

Bloomsburg State College has
been designated as a test center
for administering the National
Teacher Examinations on January 31, 1970, Dr. Merritt W.
Sanders, Director of the Research and Evaluation Center announced. Arrangements for this
center have been made through
the efforts of Dr. Stuart Edwards,
Director of Secondary Education ,
and Dr. Sanders. The number
of BSC seniors finding need for
the scores has been increasing.
The establishing of this center
will lessen the need for travel
to other centers for these tests.
College seniors preparing to
teach, and teachers applying for
positions in schools systems
which encourage or require applicants to submit their scores
on the National Teacher Examinations along with their other
credentials, are eligible to take
the tests. An increasing number
of school systems are requiring
these scores. There are two
counties and ten of the large
school systems in Pennsylvania
which now require them. Last
year more than 107,000 candidates took the examinations,
which are -prepared and administered by Educational Testing
Service of Princeton, New JerQUESTION FROM INTERVARSITY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP: What is the diference betwee n Christmas ,

The designation of BSC as a
test center for these examinations will give prospective teachers in this area an opportunity
to compare their performance
on the examinations with candidates throughout the country who
take the tests, Dr. Sanders said.
At the one-day session , a candidate may take the Common
Examinations,which include tests
in Professional Education and
General Education, and one of
the seventeen Teaching Area Examinations which are designed
to evaluate his understanding of
the subj ect matter and methods
applicable to the area he may
be assigned to teach.
Bulletins of Information describing registration procedures
and containing Registration
Forms may be obtained from
the Research and Evaluation Center in Ben Franklin, Room 12,
or directly from the National
Teacher Examinations, Educational Testing Service, Box 911,
Princeton, New Jersey, 08540.
Prospective teachers planning to
take the tests should obtain their
Bulletins of Information promptly, Dr. Fanders advised.
