Library Shows Books Once-Banned
Now Justified, Cleansed by History
by VENITA LUKENS
"He who destroys a good Booke,
kills reason itselfe."
John Milton's words, penned in
10-14, ate used ■'! 1 years later as
the theme of u book display in
the library.
A collection of books which have
survived "Fire, the Sword, and the
Censors" is on display in the read-
inn room of the main library and
will remain up until next week. It
is presented through the courtesy
of the University of Kansas as an
expression of the "belief in the
right of men to proceed through
reason as well as faith . . . at all
times."
The text accompanying the ex-
hibit points out that many persons
would "censor lurid publications,
segregate the writings of persons
with subversive affiliations, exclude
objectional materials from the
mails, or stop the distribution of
risque or unpatriotic matter," but
who would think of banning copies
of Donald Duck or Alice in Won-
derland? Both have had "to scale
the hard cliffs of prejudice, ignor-
ance, and tyranny" for survival.
"Alice in Wonderland," by Lewis
Carroll, was banned in the Ilunan
province of China in 1911 "on the
grounds that animals should not
use human languages, and that it
was disastrous to put animals and
human beings on the same level."
Mark Twain's "Life on the Mis-
sissippi" and "Adventures of lluck
Finn" wore victims of "wife-cen-
sorship, one of the poorest forms
of censoring." Mrs. Clemens cut
out profanity and other passages
in "Hack Finn."
Some works of Sir Arthur Conan
Dovle were banned in Russia in
1H2!) because they dealt with oc-
cultism and spiritualism.
tlonore de Balzac has been a "fa-
mous whipping boy of the censors."
His "Droll Stories" is still forbid-
den in Canada.
"God's Little Acre" and "Tobacco
Road," by Krskine Caldwell, have
been banned in several cities, and
the later has received censure on
the stage as well as in print. In
1946 "God's Little Acre" was
banned in St. Paul, so the citizens
went across the river in Minneapo-
lis and bought copies.
Speaker Says Yes
Is
Needed?
"Although there may be some
points of disagreement about the
role that the federal government
should play in education, there are
not many points of disagreement
over the fact that the science pro-
gram is one essential key to our
success as a nation, better health,
more jobs, a higher standard of
living, and perhaps even cultural
progress," Dr. R. C. Sherman told

"With the belief that this state-
ment is true," the speaker contin-
ued, "it is fairly obvious that more
support is needed for the training

Smith Warns Key Safety Problem
Centers Around Driver Discipline
"Driver discipline is the major
problem in highway safety," Jeriy
Smith, safety officer of the depart
nicnt of public safety, said Tues-
day.
Smith was on campus to address
W. A. (Bill) Cooper's driver educa-
tion class, PE 110, which prepares
students to leach driver trainiiu:
and safety courses in secondary
schools.
Interview
In an interview following his
talk, Smith stressed that control
of speed is the principal way in
which a driver must restrain him-
self. Most drivers go too fast for
road conditions. The correct speed
is not necessarily the posted limit
but whatever is safe for the cir-
cumstances and the individual
driver.
High horsepower in modern cars
is not an important danger, in
Smith's opinion. "Increased power
has both its advantages and disad-
vantages, but once again it comes
down to driver discipline," Smith
said. "A good driver won't use his
speed unless he needs it. For ex-
ample, additional power helps to
decrease the time spent across the
Education Chief Hope
Expanded driver education is the
chief hope for combatting the ris-
ing accident rate, the speaker ex-
plained. The President's Highway
Safety Action program, which
Smith discussed with the driver ed-
ucation class, advocates extending
traffic safety education to elemen-
tary schools in all grades. Essen-
tially, the idea is that "every year
a child goes to school he needs some
form of safety education," Smith
said, and added that one of the
most important steps in this direc-
tion would be the passing of a law
requiring this safety instruction on
the elementary level.
Law Enforcement
Improved law enforcement to
take care of problem drivers the
approximately Ifi per cent who ac-
count for 85 per cent of the acci-
dents is another measure sup-
ported l.y the president's program,
said Smith.
Much progress has been made in
state highway enforcement in re-
cent years, according to Smith.

officer is many times more than
his counterpart had years ago.

heard." Dr. Morey said Wednesday,
"as it 'a unusual in that Haydn, a
German, was in London when he
wrote this music."
Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809, is best,
known of the two. Michael, the
vounger brother by five years, has
been relatively unknown until the
last fifty years. Dr. Morey ex-
plained that the main reason for
his obscurity was that his composi-
tions were chiefly in the realm of
religious music and rarely intended
for the concert hall.
"The policy of the flutists Is to
present the entire program of one
composer," Dr. Morey added. In the
past they have presented programs
on the works of Handel and Bach

Streetman Displays Talent,
Sings Opera, Beat' Poem
Songs ranging from operatic degree in voice from Baylor arid
arias to "beatnik" poetry set to
music will display the versatile tal-
ent of David Streetman, baritone,
in a graduate recital tonight at
8:16.
Streetman, a doctoral candidate,
will begin the program, to be heltl
iri the main auditorium, with old
English tunes and an aria from
"Samson" by Handel. Mrs. David
Streetman will be the piano ac-
companist.
On the lighter side, Pigeons on
the Crass, Alas, a libretto by Miss
Gertrude Stein, put to music by
Virgil Thomas is described by
Streetman as an example of "good
American beatnik poetry." It is
bard to tell whether she is being
serious or funny, as might be in-
ferred from the title.
Songs from other countries on
the program include Italian tunes.
German arias by Schubert, and
French compositions from Le Cald
by Thomas.
Selections on the program writ-
ten by contemporary Americans
demonstrate the modernistic ar-
rangements of Charles Ives, who
sometimes took folk tunes and em-
bodied them in his art song*. These
arc often written in a satirical vein,
Streetman commented, as In the
modernistic arrangement of Shall
Wc Gather at the River.
Another aria from "Merry
Mount" by a contemporary Ameri-
can. Howard Hanson, will be sung
by Streetman.
Streetman received hia bachelor's
the master's degree in musieology
from North Texas. His resident
work for the doctorate in musieol-
ogy is completed and he hopes to
complete his Ph.D. in August,
1091.
He has studied at the Akademie
fiir Musik at Vienna, and has the
certificate from the University of
Vienna for a course for teachers
of German in foreign countries.
If the new arrangement of the
card catalog in the main library
reminds users of a telephone book,
that's good.
The catalog has been divided into
two sections, authors-titles and
subjects, to resemble the two sec-
tions of a telephone directory. The
authors-titles catalog is used if
the author's name or the book title
is known. This comparable to the
alphabetical listings of the phone
directory.
The subjects catalog is used if
no particular book is desired or if
material on a certain subject only
is needed. Thus this catalog resem-
bles a directory's yellow pages.
"Division of the catalog was
made because it was so large, and
it was difficult to locate material,"
explained Mrs. Elaine Ledlow, cat-
aloguer. "Also the filing was so
complex it was difficult to under-
stand."
Space reasons were also Involved,
Mrs. Ledlow continued. "The main
catalog was so strung out that
something hail to be done. The ill
vision will facilitate the use of the
library for those who know the ex-
act title and author of the book
they need as well as for those who
have a definite subject but have no
particular book in mind."
The cataloguer pointed out that
it was a lengthy job because the
estimated 1,250,000 cards were di-
vided card by card. Two new filing
cabinets were added to the 20 al-
ready In use, and two more have
been ordered. All 24 cabinets with
their 1440 trays will be needed to
house the cards.
"Many students have difficulty in
using the library," Mrs. Ledlow
said. "Much of the difficulty is dm
to faulty citations, misspelled
names, and students' not knowing
the alphabet. The new arrangi
mcnt should eliminate part of their
t rouble."
TWO EMPLOYEES, Beverly Tindeil and Mary Nell Hatty, check
the new library catalog system.
ization, and higher salaries have
also contributed to the improve-
ment of enforcement. At the same
time, public opinion has become
more favorable as people have
realized the value of the patrol-
man's efforts."
Engineering
Engineering, in addition to edu-
cation and enforcement, is the other
important area of safety emphasis.
Automobile manufacturers are put-
ting increased importance on safe-
ty features, while highway design-
ers continue to adapt modern high-
ways to the increasing traffic.
