Telephone Company Puts Bite On (Continued from page twoj of California faculty, has won it’s fight against signing the anti-Communist oath, but one member of the board of regents has since resigned “because of my conscientious con victions against communism.” I’m glad to see anyone resign who has that belief regarding University faculties. En forcement of the signing of the oath could have been a dangerous thing. It could have set a precedent that would have spread to other schools, including this one. It would have forced instructors under such a system to be wary of any remark that might be con strued as Communistic in any way or.be in danger of losing their jobs. When a professor is forced to instruct in ac cordance to a doctrine rather than in what he believes is right, then education as we.know it now will be lost. He must be free to instruct the student in what he feels is right, and to help the student select the wheat from the chaff in his field of study. He must not be forced to indoctrinate the student with the beliefs of the ruling group in power at the particular time, for that is the first step toward authoritarianism. The Cali fornia faculty should be congratulated on their stand. VotingContinues On Const itution By BOB FUNK Voting continues today on the proposed ASUO constitution, which would set up a three-branch stu dent government at Oregon, com plete with cabinet, senate, and stu dent court. Backers of the new constitution see as its chief advantage the dis persal of powers now held by the r ASUO executive council to a cab inet and senate, ensuring a more effective and prompt handling of duties, The new constitution, which is set up in a document of eight arti cles, is, briefly, the following: Article I: The organization shall be called the Associated Students of the University of Oregon. Article II: All registered students are members, and their separation into classes is determined by aca demic rulings. Elected Officers Article III: Elective officers are the president and vice-president. Non-elective officers are eight cab inet members, responsible to the president. The cabinet includes such persons as chairman of the Student Union Board, AWS presi dent, and social chairman. Article IV: The senate shall con sist of 27 members, including 9 members-at-large, 2 faculty memi bers, class officers and representa tives, and the president and vice president of the ASUO. Article V: The student court will be composed of five members ap pointed by the president and ap proved by the senate. The court will deal with disciplinary matters delegated to it. Members-at-Large Article VI: Elections will be much as they are now, except that r class officers will be president, vice-president, and two representa tives. Another change is that 11 officers-at-large will be elected on the ASUO ballot, the first two to be president and vice-president, the others to be members of the senate. Articles VII: Amendments will be proposed either by 200 student pe titioners or by two-thirds of the senate. They will be adopted only if one-third of all voters vote, and two-thirds of the ballots cast are favorable. Article VIII: Which provides for the adoption of the constitution itself. The by-laws provide for prefer ential voting, for election proced ure, and for co-ordination of the Student Union with the ASUO.
