IKM THE HJDI1®
GREEN BEAN CONTROVERSY'?
The much—anticipated controversy over renaming the GREEN BEAN did
not materialize. I received only three responses, two to keep the name
and one with many suggestions all retaining "green" (how about The
Gangreen?). I guess the beans will remain for a while longer. Just for

 ;  fun I thought we would reprint 33% of the responses with a rebuttal. -
  WE'VE INCURRED THE WRATH OF WARTHI V.
  LE'I'I‘ER TO THE EDITOR: -
Yi In regard to the notice in the October WAX BEAN asking for
  1 suggestions for a new name for the Green Bean, I would like to point out
  A that this came up for a somewhat heated discussion at an L.S.O. meeting
  some years back and the staff voted to keep the old name as long as it
5 » had the subtitle: University pj gentucky Libraries' Newsletter. The
E name had been changed once before from the simple _B_1_ill_etin, to the more -
  memorable (if wretched) Green Bean.
I Here is a xeroxed news note from the February 22, 1974 green Bean
? . that seems most apt to me.
’ (UPI) —-— A mild—mannered librarian at Michigan State University has
launched what could be called the "Librarian Liberation Movement".
David Taylor said he and many of his colleagues are angry over the
seeming whimsy publishers use in changing the names of their
publications. The group Taylor formed is called LUTFCSUSTC. That "
stands for Librarians United to Fight Costly, Silly, Unnecessary Serial
Title Changes.
At the annual American Library Association meeting a "Snake in the
Grass Award" is made to a library that had the gall to change the name
of its own publication. They are baffled to find a library staff so
oblivious to the confusion, aggravation, and expense of changing the
name of its journal.
= No matter what new name is chosen, some six or seven years hence,
* another group of newcomers to the staff will be amazed and/or offended
at such a choice.

A Letter From the Editor ——
So you say our proposal is a CSUSTC. I say HOGWASES The very
tenets on which this country was founded enables us to consider such a
proposal. A serial title is indicative of the group issuing it or the
audience for which it is intended. Are you saying that the staff should
remain a bushel of beans'?! Many illustrious serials have changed their
names over the years for very legitimate reasons. Why, if your thinking I
prevailed Horse World would still be Sbmrtt Snorits or the New Jersey
Instructional Series would be forever known as C\n»d:pit-—¤BA, a very
discriptive appel lation I must say. Serials would be doomed to keep
names that were once though cute but no longer discriptive and lost
forever to the people who might be enticed to look at them. High
i. 2

 quality serials would lose contributing authors because who would want
to put on their resume that they published in Peep and Unc instead of
_ the Journal of Animal Science. Where is David Taylor's LUTFCSUSTC now, -
may I ask? It appears to be gone, like the Bulletin of the ILS. lluseun
uf latural History that died after 96 years of publication with nary a
name change. Who remembers them now'? Speaking of the ”snake in the
Er.: grass award", isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
  The basic question here is not the name change but the freedom to
J do so. I say one group has no right to limit the choice of others. I
;» too am opposed to silly, unnecessary serial title changes but I will not
» _, stand in the way of group destiny. I say pursue the SUSTC but do not
l A label every change a SUSTC. To do so would seriously limit our freedom
  of choice.
