Book Banned in Boston
On Classic List in Library
By PAT CREEL
, Why is u book banned ? 'Is it be-
cause of the author, his i*ace, reli-
gion, or creed? Or is a boojj ban-
ned to try and conceal social short-
comings ?
When a book is banned in Bos-
ton, eyebrows shoot up and with-
out- stopping to check to find the
-leal reason, people' assume the
book is obscene and unfit for read-
ing. Boston may have other rea-
_ sons for banning-, a book, as other
towns, cities, states, or countries
have their reasons^ Books may be
excluded from libraries and book-
stores because the people feel the
■ books may tend to advocate. Com-
munism. A neighboring state may
ban the same book for a different
reason.
Caitdide Banned
".Does our library .contain any
books that have been banned from
Boston ? In an anthology of civiliz-
ed writings by I.ouis Kronenbitg-
-er entitled The -Pleasure of'Their
Company, there are 72 condensed
pa-g-es of Candicie by Voltaire
(Francois Marie Arovet), It was
"banned in Boston in 1&29-, and was
seized on its way -to a class in
French literature at Harvard, it
was banned as obscene, but it was
studied in college classrooms as a
literary masterpiece. Two Harvard
* professors prepared the defense
for this book. It was later admit-
ted in a new edition.
Libraries have had to check
their books and index a few speci-
fied ones. How is a book banned?
A comment here and there, mis-
taken interpretations of what the
author is trying to say or point
out, and it's banned.
Eisenhower Speaks
President 'Eisenhower said in a
commencement speech to Dart-
mouth College in June of 1953: "It
isn't enough to say, "I love Ameri-
ca,' salute the flag, and sing "The
Star Spangled Bannei*." We love to
do these things because they make
us swell with pride. Stop and
think—who gave you the freedom,
to do these things? Your fore
fathers, who worked hard and long
and faced all the facts, good and
bad. Don't join the book burners.
You can't conceal faults by con-
coaling evidence that they ever
existed. Don't be afraid to go to
the library and read every book as
long as any document does not
offend our own ideas of decency.
That should be only censorship."
Darwin's Theory
Uncle Tom's Cabin was banned
in Russia in 1852, but now it is
considered a favorite-juvenille book
over there. Practically every book
ever written stands a good chance
to be banned somewhere for some
reason. Darwin's "Origin of. the
Species" was banned in a'Tennes-
see town because "it taught that
man came from lower animals and

Ankles Took Ten
Miles of Tape,
Trainer Reports
During the past football season
as in any season many devices and
aids are used to prevent and les-
sen injuries to the athletes. Tape
is one of the big items used to pre-
vent some injuries and to lessen
those that can't be precented. Tbe
whirlpool is another device used
in the loosening of mudes so. that
a trainer can-work with them.
Tape is what is used the most.
Trainer Charles Ncwsom reported
that about ten miles of tape have,
been used by himself and the man-
agers 'this year.
The equipment used is also very
important. If it is, not in top con-
dition it may cause injuries of a
very serious nature. Faulty equip-
ment has been the end of . many a
players' career. Every year after
the season is over the managers
go through the equipment and sort
it. The have some of it repaired
and the rest is in good enough con-
dition to use for another season. If
all schools would do this after
every season they would cut down
on the many injuries over a long
period of time. .

This book is still banned-in some
countries because of religious rea-
sons..
Our library here at Tarleton is
not packed with books tliat have
been banned from various places,
but there, are books- telling of the
banned books—author, -towis in
which the J book was banned, and
reasons for banning it/ Books that
.have previously been banned have
a way of occasionally popping up
on the best-seller list.
