Phony Loyalty Oath Circulated at Illinois URBANA, 111. (CPS) — Un known persons circulated a docu ment purporting to be a univer sity-required loyalty oath among graduate students at the Univer sity of Illinois last week and the campus has been in an uproar ever since. The document was put in grad uate students’ mail boxes after having been folded letter size, addressed by typewriter, and left with other mail outside the col lege offices. The university did not dis cover the existence of the fraudu lent oath” until several gradu ate assistants brought it to the attention of the secretary of the Board of Trustees. At that time, three graduate students had already complied with the supposed regulation of a Nov. 17 trustees’ meeting and had filled out the information sheet, had it notarized, and turned it in to the graduate admissions office. The document said that the Board had ordered “all graduate students to submit each semester an affidavit affirming allegiance to the Constitutional government of the United States.” The “oath” contained an affi davit stating that the recipient was not and never had been a member of the Communist party, of any organization controlled by or affiliated with the Communist party, or of any organization ad vocating or attempting the force ful overthrow of the government of the United States.” The document also said that •any willful misrepresentation or omission of facts, or failure to sign and return this form as di rected will be cause for immedi ate dismissal from the university.” According to A. J. Janata, the Trustees’ secretary, the Board did not even meet on Nov. 17 as stated in the document, and such an oath “hasn’t been discussed by lo-op s taking Applications Co-Ed Housing, Inc., is cur rently accepting applications from University women interest ed in living in co-operative hous ing during spring term.
