Page 6 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1977 Italian s medal arrives too late United Press International AUGUSTA, Maine — Tomaso Mascioli died Nov. 6 at the age of 85 while the thing he lived for — a World War I medal from his native Italy — was caught up in red tape. “He lived for that medal,” Mascioli s daughter, Josephine Kolegue, said Monday. “What upsets me is he didn’t even get a chance to hold it. It doesn’t mean anything to me now, but it could have because it would have meant so much to him.” Mrs. Kolegue said, “His family sent him to America to be a tailor’s apprentice when he was 11 years old. In 1915, when he was 17, he went back to Italy to defend his country because he believed it Was right to defend his homeland during war.” She said her father, whom she lived with in Skowhegan, Maine, felt the medal symbolized the homeland and family he left as a boy. But now, Mrs. Kolegue said, “I feel empty. I have been in shock since my father died." How in the heck can I be bitter? It’s nobody’s fault, it was just lost in red tape. “Still, I’m upset,” she said. “After trying to get the medal for 414 years, you would think somebody could have done something, could have noticed.” The Italian consular agent in Maine, Dr. Domenico Santoro of Portland, said Monday the Ita lian government issued the Cross of Vittorio Vanteo to Mascioli on Jan. 31, 1977. He said Italy’s consulate in Boston mailed him the medal Nov. 10, but he had not yet tried to contact Mascioli or his family. “I figured I would give her, Mrs. Kolegue, a call when I got a chance,” Santoro said. “A physi cian’s life is very busy. Ironically, Santero said there will be even more red tape to cut through now that Mascioli has died if his daughter wants to re ceive the medal. He said a $5- a-month pension has been in ef fect since the medal was issued, so signatures will have to be cer tified and heirs documented be fore the medal and the small sum of money can be turned over. Censors to take aim on school materials United Press International Persons itching to filter what feeds school children’s minds are coming i out of the woodwork or closet or whatever place they’ve been hiding. They’re leading a censorship movement marching on the nation’s schools — a crusade on the rise, ac cording to Edward Jenkinson of In diana University. Jenkinson heads the Censorship Committee of the National Council of Teachers of English. At the coun cil’s annual meeting in New York a while back he hoisted storm warn- ings. Contemporary censors don’t fit the stereotype: Small or large el derly females in tennis shoes. Or pot-bellied males with fringes of gray hair, pursed lips. These types, scissors at the ready, literally would cut out offending passages or words.

At least, that’s|j I son’s analysis. His Censorship Committs come across 40 state or ganizations existing mi school materials. They’rebusjj coast to coast and they focus targets, including: — Novels for adolescents. J parents don’t want their ctl reading books about drugs, glj or conflicts with parents. Hies to go back to those who writd more traditional times.” — Realistic dialogue. “He sors think that all charactej books should speak in stn4 grammatically correct — Works by “question! writers.

This includes contemporary books fori cents, such as, “Catcher Rye,” “Soul on Ice, ” and Boy. ” — Ideas, teaching meth books pushing secular humii: This charge, made in everysli! directed against courses thatind values clarification, by name. — Materials dealing understanding.
