About six weeks ago it came to the Chan cellor's attention that this question is not a ruling of the trustees, and the question does not appear in personnel forms of N. C. State College and Woman's College. COMMUNIST DISCOVERED IN '49 Discovery of an avowed com munist on the University facutly in the late forties led to demands of some trustees that faculty mem bers be required to take a "loyal ty oath." A part-time instructor in the Physics Department, Hans Freistadt, native of Austria, ack nowledged membership in the Communist Party. He was at UNC on an Atomic Energy Commission fellowship. LEFT PROBLEM TO UNC However, the Trustees voted un animously on May 24, 1949, to leave the Universtiy's Communist problem in the hands of the ad ministrative officials. William D. Carmichael Jr., acting president of the Consolidated University at, the time, and chancellors of the Uni versity of Chapel Hill, State Col lege and Woman's College urged such a course. UNC added the fol lowing question to its application form in place of an oath: QUESTION TO BE DROPPED "Are you now, or have you been at any time in the past, a member of, or in anyway affiliated with either the Communist Party or with any organization or associa tion controlled, to your knowledge by Communist? If so, please ex plain fully." This is the question which would be dropped frora the job applica tion form.
