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
