appeared in your paper as a comment on the valedic tenan speech by hoger simth t georgetown a commencement ceremony in the following is sue a number of letters ap peared in protest to that dl torial since 1 am no longer a resident of georgetown these items were alow la reaching me bat as an exataident of georgetown high school i feel compelled at this time to add roy opinions belated though they may be xast year at was mentioned the students of georgetown high organized a school news- j paper it was to be sure a total failure but through no fauk of the student a great deal of work went into its prcpara tlon the articles included such oroeauve topics as the ques tion sbould there he less em pbasis on high school exams dd what is your opinion of the war in viet nam and yet these articles along with many others were censored jjithout any explanation the resulting publication read like the sports page of the toronto telegram and it was even less ihterestinf the bitterness over this oen- fcrsblp was only compounded when in your editorial this aaper was compared to the ob- joene and offensive articles stinted in two university news lapers from this comparison it would appear that either four sources of information here totally erroneous or there is a double standard of ccn fcorshto that for entertaining dutt magazines like tlayboy bod that for totally unprovoca jtire stodent efforts such as georgetowns students attemp ted to publish bat ye i ift gnawer to the question ftattora which roger h ebon in order to toicc ms complaint the fact is that euram were the only place where he would not have his opinions i censored before they wre brought to the attention of ihe public in conchsslon before you accuse students like roger of being immature and scatter brained i suggest you take an other look at the adult can torship such as that exercised by the administration erf geor getown high and if this is an example of maturity then mat unty must be a regression not a
