(Yale, Harvard
| Spurn Aid Tied to
jU.S. Loyalty Oath
j NEW HAVEN, Conn., (JV-Yale
; and Harvard, two of the nation’s
! most influential universities, have
i withdrawn from the federal stu
i dent loan program. The program
i requires borrowers to sign a loy
alty affidavit.
Yale President A. Whitney Gris
wold said the affidavit “is con
trary to the classic principles of
our colleges and universities.”
Harvard President Nathan M.
Pusey called it misguided, and an
“affidavit of disbelief.”
The affidavit, required of stu
dents applying for federal edu
I cation loans, states that the appli
I cant does not believe in, belong
! to, or support “any organization
j that beliees in or teaches the over
i throw of the United States gov
ernment by force or violence or
by any illegal or unconstitutional
means.”
Griswold and Pusey made their
announcements independently but
it was learned that the two pres
idents had talked the matter over
j by telephone and had been dis
| cussing the affidavit for several
| months.
Their decisions mean almost a
half million dollars in available
funds will not be used. Harvard
is turning back $357,873. Yale,
which- already has received $160,
000, said it will return most of an
other $50,000 to which it is en
titled.
The affidavit was required by
the National Defense Act of 1958,
which put the student load fund
into operation. An effort was
made in the Senate last summer
to delete the affidavit require
ment, but it failed. The affidavit
is accompanied by an oath of
support of the U- S. Constitution.
- Wrist Radio Is Here
LOS ANGELES, Iff) — “Time’s
up, Miss Blue. Come back.”
That may be the way the up-to
date boss will end his secretary’s
coffee break before long — over
their two-way wrist radios.
The tiny transistor devices are
shown at an office equipment ex
hibit here. They opereate over a
radius of 26 miles and can be
carried in a woman’s handbag
or a man’s pocket.
