Model Charter Is Available as Guide Revised editions of "The Model Charter for Oregon Cities" have been made available by the Uni versity bureau of municipal re search and service. The short model document, drawn up in two versions, was first published in 1947, and was re vised at the suggestion of many cities which have used the charter. One version provides a model for the mayor-council form of city government; the other for the council-manager form. The model charter contains a general grant of powers, omitting many provisions which frequently appear in city charters. These pro visions are covered by state con stitution or general laws. Also omitted are other grants which were felt could be better covered by ordinance (authority of admin istration to work out details). The charter is intended to guide those responsible for charter draft ing rather than to offer a docu ment to be adopted without change.

On the Balcony U of O CO-OP STORE Surveys Show that Most Students Disapprove Faculty Loyalty Oaths a recent survey oi es colleges and universities in the United | States showed that most student's were opposed to having professors sign loyalty oaths stating that they j are not members of the Communist j party, the Associated Collegiate : press, conductor of the poll, stated. The students interviewed were asked if "In general, do you ap prove or disapprove of having col lege professors take an oath stat ing that they are not members of the Communist party?" The re sults of the survey showed that 39 per cent of the students approved and that 47 per cent disapproved of such a move. 12 per cent had n'o opinion and two per cent had other comments. The ACP also interviewed gradu ate students and found that 73 per cent disapproved of a loyalty oath and only 20 per cent were in favor of the oath. One student interviewed thought the oath was a farce and “that Communists would sign it any way." But he added that the Com munists should be kept off campus by other means. A coed in education approved the loyalty oath because it “would j protect the students "from harmful influence and propaganda. Another coed in education who opposed the oath feels that college students should be able to discriminate be tween education and propaganda. A junior in liberal arts at a small midwest school approved of the oath; a senior in medicine disap proved of the oath unless “it is a church affiliated school." A sophontore in liberal arts an swered the question with the query, “Is this a free country or what ?

UO Students Agree With Results of Poll Most of the students interviewed at Oregon by the Emerald dis approved of faculty members hav ing to take a loyalty oath. Most students seemed to feel that if a professor was a true Com munist he would sign the loyalty oath without a question and there fore the very purpose of the oath would have been defeated. This eeling was expressed by Corky when°n'h freshman in education, KShe sa,d' “I am opposed to them because if they were Commu i', ey WOuId the loyalty oath for the good of the party.” * Miss Horton’s opinion was back ed up by a senior who thought that requiring the professors to sign loyalty oaths was “the essence of stupidity, for what intelligent Communist, if he were one, would sign a loyalty oath?” ‘Shouldn’t Be Afraid’ Barbara Coen, freshman in lib eral arts, thought the oaths should be required, because if the profes ber»fn tH C°mmuniSt' he shouldn't be afiaid to admit it and it is a way of showing that he isn’t Com AJcnior in geography also thought the oath should be re quired, because it protects the Uni versity, but he believed that as far as the faculty member goes, if he was a Communist, “the oath wouldnt mean anything to him.” P posed to these arguments were Forest Easton and Ron Rick etts. Easton, a sophomore in lib c'al ,a,rtS’ thought the loyalty oath snouldn t be required because “if there is a Communist on our fac ulty, the fact that he signed a loyalty oath wouldn't stop him (Please turn to page seven) OSC Debate Team To Meet UO Squad Here Thursday The Oregon State debate squad will meet the Oregon debate team Thursday at 2:30 p.m. in Villard hall.
