Loyalty On On Questit] By JUDY KILLOUGH Feature Editor "To sign or not to sign" has be come a nation-wide debate. Educa tors, Individual students, and stu dent groups are taking stands on loyalty oaths. The debate is in connection with the provisions of the National De fense Education Act, which makes it necesaary for a student to sign a loyalty oath and affidavit in order to obtain a federal loan under the fund set up in, 1958. This week, we are printing opin ions on the debate from other college papers. Next week, we hope to print views from Carolina stu dents and professors. "The Ohio State Morning Lan tern" staff writer Barbara Froe lich, reviews the situation: "Ohio State's reluctance to withdraw from the program because of the affidavit is understandable in the practical sense since its National Defense Student Loan program is so heavily supported by the gov ernment ($250,000 a year). How ever, many educators have hopes that during the next session of Congress, the requirement will be revoked. "Lloyd M. Parks, dean of the College of Pharmacy and chairman of the Scholarship committee, feels that no particular good purpose is served by the affidavit. Senator John W. Bricker, a trustee of Ohio State, feels that since the taxpayer's money is being used, the signing of such an affidavit is the least a recipient of a student loan can do. Famous Nei Disclose Eri By SPENCE MOORER Special Writer Everyone is inclined to make mistakes-and 'that includes the mighty press! From the files of history come some classic journal istic "goofs." For instance, from these famous newspapers come the following stories of yesteryear: "Noah's Courier"-Weather Re p)ort: Fair, becoming partly cloudy by evening, chance of rain tomor row. Red Sea "The Nile Gazette"--The Pha roah has taken his armies in pur suit of the run-awvay Israelite slaves. Capture of the slaves seems certain, since the waters of the lied Sea prevent their escape. Salem's amazing new NIGH POROSITY paper "aIr-softens" every puff. e th Sparks i n 'To Sign "The Minnesota Daily" reports the Minnesota Student Association Legislative Affairs Commission voted 6-1 to present a resolution opposing. the loyalty oath pro visions of the act. Student Letter A letter to the "Syracuse Daily Orange" read, in part: "If we feel sorry because of our 'restricted' freedom, perhaps we should go to the library and read about one of-the greatest thinkers of all times. If only Socrates had had our 'restricted' freedom. If only we had Socrates' understand ing for the need of order and the statel" - "Student Life" editors, Washing ton University, plead for repudi ation of the loyalty oath connected with student funds financed by the Federal Government. . . . The fact that WU is a privately en dowed university makes the' re pudiation of the oath even more necessary. Because it is not tax supported, the University has no governmental restrictions with re gard to the character or beliefs of the students who may enroll. "In effect, by restricting Fed eral loans to those who sign the oath, the University is excluding the pursuit of education by those students who are unable to finance their education except in this man ner and who conscientiously must reject the oath. .. 'Daily Kansan' From the "Daily Kansan," the University of Kansas, came this editorial opinion: "Section 1001 (f) of Title X of the National 'Defense Education Act of 1958 sits like a tin can on a fence post. "Nobody can pass it by without throwing a rock. "Educators and students from vspapers Fr iors Of Joui "The Jerico Bugle"-For the third straight day the band of rov ing Israelites has paraded around the city. Tiey go around scream ing, blowing horns, an# beating drums. What they intend to ac complish no one knows; more need to be amused than alarmed.

Tulane 'Hullabaloo' The Tulane University "Hulla baloo" editorializes: "Hopefully the prestige of Harvard, Yale, an< Princeton, who have refused t< participate because of the loyalty oath provisions, will be sufficien1 impetus for the repeal of this in, ane requirement. It should be noted- that the leadership in thim issue comes from universities thal can easily afford to refuse federa loan funds. Unfortunately, many universities are not economically this secure and must compromise.' Different View Taking a different view on the topic was the Clark College (Wash.) "Penguin's Progress" "We have never felt that loyalty oaths are horrible insults that n< citizen of the United States should ever he asked to sign. "Perhaps it Is unfair to seleci one group and not others for the loyalty oath requirement. But i1 should he remembered that the loan fund program was passed by members of Congress. Our na tional leaders plainly felt that the loyalty oath should be required. "There is a legitimate use foi loyalty oaths as long as Commu nist infiltration continues in ar effort to weaken and destroy oui country from within." 'David-sonian' From the Davidson College "Davidsonian" comes this com ment: "The two universities (Har. vard and Yale) regard the loyalty oath as a deprivation of an in lividual liberty. We can hardly agree with this.

With Present Registri Ozwina Sa Six Years i Dear Momma, In your last letter you told me to be sure to write and tell you how everything went at registra tion. Well, all I can say is that you asked for it. I got up this morning at 6:30 so I could be sure and pick up my registration materials early. This is too bad because I found out that I couldn't get the materi als until 10:30. It seems that they have an antiquated system based on the alphabet and since our last name begins with a "Q," I was forced to wait on a line that started in front of that dear old edifice called McKissick Library and wound all around the Horse shoe, in back of the Library and over to the new dormitories that everyone around here calls the "Honeycombs." Finally, I was able to pick up my registration cards, or at least I thought so because I was at the head of the line, but whe,, I asked for them, the person at the desk told me he was on his lunch hour1 and couldn't give them out until he got back.

He just sat here and didn't even so much a chew a piece of gum. I About an hour and twenty min ites later, some boy came up to i m and mentioned something bout his roommate's buddy's girl- I riend's sister and the man at the esk gave the materials to the oy. This made me mad. I walked ip to that man and hinted a ouple of things and I was soon on ny way with the cards. Then I went to the History uilding (that's the one where the ames of all the students who assed History 11 are engraved a n the outside) and found out to t iy dismay that the class I wanted ere was all,filled up. This happened at every class tried to register for and finally had to give up and not take two f my subjects. The only times for hi el a ssesa were at 8 o'clock the morning and at 11 and 12 clock on Tuesday, Thursday, and aturday. I guess I was kind of c ite for signing up my courses. i Since this is apt to happen every amester, I'm afraid I'll have to 1 ike six-and-a-half more years to t raduate. I hope you don't mind. < Needless to say, Momma, I'm I retty tired. But I have to go to t student mixer tonight. I don't 2 iink there'll be too many people iere, though, because even if iey're having the grooviest rock C ad roll band to play (which they re), somebody has been spread- I ig nasty rumors about "payola" e n d Congressional Investigation t ammittees a n d witnesses and I ch talk like that.
