  • 10 newsmagazine Controversy and education in a pluralistic society by Brandon A. Robinson * Guest Columnist President Woodrow Wilson once said that he did not fear individuals, who live briefly and die; he was anxious over their ideas, which take on an eternal, ageless quality. Hence the inestimable power of books, which capture ideas with ink and paper. At first glance, the reader may immediately think of such polemics as Thomas Paines The Rights of Man, Darwins Origin of the Species or Freuds /nterpretation of Dreamswith ample justification. But should we not also stress childrens bookswhich lay the foundations upon which we build and live? Such a book, The Story of Little Black Sambo (1899), has been a focus of controversy at Hunter Library. Written by Helen Bannerman (a Scotswoman), the book was featured in a display comprised of remembered childhood books of library faculty and staff. The story is based in India during the age of imperialism and the British empire: a young boy named Sambo is accosted by a tiger, and persuades it not to kill him by giving him articles of his fine clothing. Sambo eventually makes it home safely after outsmarting several tigers and enjoys a pancake dinner with his parentsBlack Mumbo and Black Jumbo. So far so good, but the characters are portrayed in a manner often perceived as degrading to persons of African descent. Ironically, however, the word Sambo is seen by many as an epithet as well as a term of endearment. The book has had a colorful history over the past few decades, and several reprints have been issued. In some versions it has been reillustrated, whereas the names and colonial languagethe portrayal of blacks as exotic and whites as normalremained the same. In 1964 the superintendent of the Lincoln, Nebraska school system censored the book because of its racist undertones; indeed, it was featured earlier this semester in Hunter Librarys Banned Books display. Little Black Sambo continues to draw attention from scholars, writers and general readers. Dr.Annette Debo, assistant professor of English, saw the display and was deeply troubled over the presence of Little Black Sambo; to her it was an issue of sensitivity and representation of both the library and university. Im not advocating censorship, Debo explained. If that were the issue, | could not teach half the literature in my classes. What concerns me is that this seems to confirm all the fears [an educated person] may have about this areathat we are innocently unaware that this book could offend students on this campus. Speculation ensued as to whether the book would be pulled, but Library Administration demurred, drawing from the Intellectual Freedom Principles adopted years earlier by Hunter Library. Members of the Association of College & Research Libraries who adopt these principles agree not to censor controversial books. University Librarian Bil Stahl commented: What | hope is that this situation can evolve into a larger conversation on campus about issues that still plague us. Stahl added that if constructive dialogue could be accomplished, the Sambo controversy could prove a unique educational experience. Where is the line between freedom of expression and endorsement or representation? How can we affect greater sensitivity on campus? Is controversy compatible with empathy and interconnectedness? Have we labored sufficiently for an open, pluralistic community? Whatever your answers to these questions, an inward evaluation of ones attitudes is in itself an education. It is the hope of Hunter Librarys staff that this recent controversy will prove a golden opportunity for reflection, dialogue and symbiotic healing. Distinct honor bestowed on Western student by Traci White * WCnewsmagazine Arthur Craig Melton Ill or, as he is known on campus, Tripp has been accepted to a unique semester-long internship in Raleigh for spring semester 2005. This opportunity, made possible through the North Carolina State Legislative Internship Program, is offered only once bi-annually to students in the North Carolina public university school system that are majoring in the social sciences. Tripp first became aware of this internship in Dr. Livingstons State and Local Government course earlier this semester. His professor presented the idea and Tripp was intrigued enough to inquire further about the program after class. Tripp soon thereafter started a series of applications, essays and rounds of consideration that led him to a final interview with the director of the program and two members of the general assembly in Raleigh on November 13. A five hour drive for a twenty minute interview made it feel very worthwhile Tripp said with a smile as he explained the selection process. After only two days of waiting he was relieved to hear back that he had been chosen to be one among fourteen interns from nine schools around the state. The original pool of applicants for the program was in excess of 50 students and Tripp will join two previous winners of the internship from Western in this privileged position. The internship will last 22 weeks, during which Tripp will attend twelve hours worth of classes on Mondays and spend the rest of the week in the state general assembly where he will be assigned to various representatives as a research assistant. His financial aid from Western will be forwarded to covering the costs of NCSUs tuition for the semester and Tripp will be living off campus with four of his fellow interns. For more information on this program, inquire to Dr. Livingston and the Political Science department or, for a more elaborate description, investigate this site: http://www2.chass.ncsu.edu/PSDivision/OTD%20-%202003-2004. htm.
