Store protests banning books
By VANESSA ORR
Staff Writer
Bull's Head Bookshop is staging a .
protest in the Pit defending books which
have been banned.
As a part of Banned Book Week, the
store will present readings of familiar
passages from well-loved books, all
challenged or banned at one time, and
will also have a display of banned books
for public viewing, said Bull's Head
Assistant Manager Erica Eisdorfer.
"We feel that since we are in a
university atmosphere and a place of
learning, that this is the place to take
a stand against censorship." Eisdorfer
said. Students, teachers and people
from the community will read chal
lenged material from the Bible, Walt
Whitman's Leaves of Grass, JD.:
Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and
others.
"Throughout history, books have
been banned by individuals or groups
seeking to protect themselves, their
families and their communities from
what they considered objectionable,"
states a press release from the American
Booksellers Association.
For example, The American Heritage
Dictionary was removed from libraries
in four states because of "objectionable
language," the release states. The Diary
of Anne Frank was challenged in
Virginia and Alabama because it
contained "sexually offensive passages"
and was "a real downer." The Adven
tures of Huckleberry Finn was called
"racist" and To Kill a Mockingbird was
labeled a "filthy, trashy novel" in New
York, the press release stated.
Eisdorfer said, "This has not' hap
pened just in history. It is amazing that
it is so ongoing, such a current theme."
In 1983, the V.C. Andrews trilogy
Flowers in the Attic, If There be Thorns
and Petals on the Wind were all
challenged at a Rhode Island high
school because they contained offensive
passages concerning incest and sexual
intercourse, according to the this year's.
Newsletter On Intellectual Freedom.
The Judy Blume books, Are You There
God? It's Me Margaret, Forever and
Deenie have been challenged in Iowa
and Minnesota for objectionable sub
ject matter. Even Mother Goose: Old
Nursery Rhymes has been challenged
on the grounds of being anti-Semitic,
the newsletter states. Other banned
books include Go Ask Alice, Harriet
the Spy, Lord of the Flies, Cujo and
Flowers for Algernon.
Eisdorfer said she feels the bookshop
should take a stand. "We feel that if
one book is banned, it is too easy to
ban the second. Though we don't want
Penthouse, why not also ban Romeo
and Juliet, or Slaughterhouse-FiveV
Though this is the first year for the
event, Eisdorfer said the bookstore
intends to make it yearly. "We want to
make a point," Eisdorfer said. "Books
should not be banned anywhere at
anytime."
The readings and book displays will
be in the Pit today and tomorrow from
noon until 1 p.m.
