Police ask Co-op to remove
Vaw' its shelves
The Bellingham Police Department last week
asked book dealers, including the Student Co-op, to
remove a novel by Harold Robbins from their shelves.
The request was prompted by citizens who com­plained
that the book "The Adventurers," was "a pret­ty
raw one," explained Chief of Police Cecil E. Klein.
The book, a novel of a Latin American's life in
the "jet set," has not been removed from the Co-op
shelves.
"Sales of the book have soared since the 'ban­ning
movement' began," remarked a Co-op employee.
"The book will offend none except those who
have not heard the word 'damn,' " the employee add­ed.
One dealer in town reported that a detective en­tered
his store, asked for the book and then asked
Faculty Council acts
New policy set for Faculty News
The Faculty Council assumed the responsibility of publishing, financ­ing,
establishing editorial guidelines and appointing the editor of the
Faculty News, as recommended by the Faculty- Communications Com­mittee,
in the Feb. 16 meeting of he Faculty Council.
The committee was formed early this- quarter after a publica­tions
controversy caused complete restriction of format and editorial
policy "of the Faculty News.
^"^ President Harvey- C. Bunke had ..restricted. the Faculty News to
general announcements and eliminated all editorializing and materials
from "othelT colleges.
The Council, for the first time, will have the responsibility of re­questing
funds from the collejge to finance the Faculty News. It will also
now appoint a Faculty Communications Committee each year.
The committee will advise the Council in establishing a code of
ethics and the editorial policy guidelines for the publication. It can also
recommend the removal of an editor.
The guidelines, accepted this year, recommended by the committee,
give the Faculty News editor the sole power of determining the format
and content of his news organ. They also specify that the content of the
Faculty News, including letters, shall be related to education in a broad
sense, faculty happenings and college issues.
The code of ethics accepted at the meeting state that the editor
shall maintain the highest standards of accuracy, truthfulness and fairness
in filling his role. Accordingly, the editor will not willingly misrepresent
the opinions or actions of individuals or groups.
The code of ethics also states that the editor shall maintain re­spect
for the privacy.and rights of the individual, shall not violate a con­fidence,
nor print libelous materials.
that it be "put out of sight." Another dealei remov­ed
"The Adventurers" from the shelf because of its
cover, according to an employee of that store.
Ray Knabe, manager of the Student Bookstore,
was approached by the Bellingham police but has
not removed the book.
"It is not my Derogative to do so. I am respon­sible
to the Bookstore Board which is in turn re­sponsible
to the administration," Knabe said.
Klein said that as of yet no official action can
be taken by the police in demanding the removal ol
the book from shelves. However, he did mention that
the Board of Review, long inactive, might be revived
to censor movies and books, in Whatcom County. This,
Klein added, is up to Mayor John Westford.
