LETTER: Book sticker is insensitive

To the editor:

As students register for next semester and begin to buy books, I am calling attention to a completely insensitive labeling of used books. Instead of a simple sticker saying “USED,” the bookstore has a sticker saying “I am Cheap, I am Used, I am Available.”
   
This is demeaning to both men and women, but especially to women. To those who have lived outside the “Utah bubble,” itconnotes a “profession” where many of the “practitioners” are just that: cheap, used, available. This slogan is offensive. I know the bookstore has been told about this. This has to be changed.
