By MARV KBASNANSKY Mastered T Played Well PRICE FIVE CENTS Pitt Bowl' Loyalty Oath Sides Debated By Speakers Dr. James J. Reid spoke out strongly for loyalty oaths from college teachers at the Hillel Town meeting Sunday night, while Dr. Ruth C. Silva opposed the oaths with equal force, and Dr. Arthur F, Davis defended a middle position. Harold P. Zelko, associate pro fessor of public speaking;, mod erated the discussion “Should a loyalty oath be required of col lege teachers?” which drew an unusually large audience. Defends Oath Defending the oath, Dr. Reid, professor of bacteriology said it is justifiable under the purposes of the Constitution set forth in the preamble. “These intents must be carried out,” he said. “What freedom exists but that which is returned to us by the government without impairing them?” He also noted that Communists signing the oath would then be liable to prosecu tion for perjury. Opposes Oath Dr. Silva, assistant professor of political science, opposed the oath on two major issues. She predic ted that it would not catch the real Communists, who would probably sigh it; but the liberal teachers who would refuse to sign on moral or religion : grounds. Silva Slates Danger Dr. Silva said there was a dan ger that in a loyalty oath case certain juries would consider membership' in legitimate liberal organizations evidence of Com munist leanings. In a middle position, Dr. Davis, professor of physical education, said, “I disapprove of the oath, but, if required, I-would sign it, and then work for its removal.” Engineer To Go On Sale Today The December issue of the Penn State Engineer goes on sale today.
