Oath to be Required for Fall
Term,” I sift and wonder how many
students are going to be denied a
college education here at A&M?
How many, because they will not
blindly follow the dictates of the
state, are going to be deprived of
higher learning? 1
I am well aware that criticism is
! many times only the ireful expre^
sidn of a sluggish mind, which,
having seized swiftly upon a con
clusion, elects to attack the deci
sions of others in preference to
slowing down and thinkihg the sit- j
uatioh over again.
When such <**pressions as mine
are made in- reference to an offi
cial decision, and in this case an
order, of the state, the suspicion
of disloyalty is in the making, is
it not? i
But let the State be spared such
fear, for I am not disloyal—nor am
I displaying disloyalty, by inaking
use of the democratic right of
freedom of speech to say I think
compulsory signing of a loyalty
pledge is idiotic? My signature is

one’s signature to be the infallible
testimonial of his loyalty?
How narrow minded; and pig
headed many readers are going to
classify mo. Naturally by just sigh
ing an insignificant pledge one |S
an officers signature had to be
accepted as an oath—yeti there
haye been instances where an of
ficer's signature was no more ac
cepted by his commanding officers
than a professed Communist is
by higher circles in Washington. '
How now can an act of the State
Legislature make acceptable the
signatures of all the Toms, Jims,
and Leroys as an oath of loyalty.?
: Lion Fcuchtwanger hit the nail
on the head in his novel “Proud
Destiny” when he said, “The peo-
plq today simply lack the courage
to place their trust in the sound,

to run for legislative! positions with pros
pects of so little relnujieration?
. ■ ■ ' / ’•* | M '
; Usually the men elected to the legis
lature work for big companies and take
leaves of absences during the bi-yearly
sessions. Naturally* their legislative integ

stitutional rights are being de

common sense of the individual.”
Some may argue that I would
sit by idly and let subversives take
over our government. Nay! I haVc
no such intention?. (Subversives or
hot, a signature isi not going to
lesson their number by any means.
Maybe I have missed the whole
idea of having to sign this loyalty
pledge, which I do not want to do.
But where else can one become a
