Last not least, ve students, anich we had tc live through, are in this since also animated by the desire to keep only such professors who are guaranteeing that they re= presen t the spirit of real reconciliation of nations and of truly sole n= tific v/ork. for tkis reason, however, we believe to be obliged to direct t-_e attention of the ^iiitar^ Gov : nr sent and the „.inis ter to the state of emergency vfiich, by the still continuing series of removals of grc= fessors, lecturers, assistants, first : octors , workers and employees, threatens to become catastrophic for the university.

In ord r to prevent the danger of an annihilation of The r t- construction work up to now, the Lode of Students in this emr^nney beg to submit to the competent authorities the following proposals: 1. 7/e ask' to revoke the removals, passed lately, of such persons as have already been politically screened in an official procedure, so that the present term may be brought to a successful finish, b. where a renewed political screening of a member of the Lniv_r= sity should appear indicated for some reason or other, we ask to leave the person in question on principle in his office until the final decision, as it is only in this way that the constancy and security required for the carrying out of the "University work is safeguarded. 3. In uch screening it might be subservient to the matter at issu if the competent authorities would substantially consider the e::peri= ence which we students have gained as regards our teachers by per= sonal contact in the past and present. 7/e ar: convinced that with these suggestions we ar^ serving only the purposes which the American .military Government have pursued from be0in>iin^^ahmw: they pqe opened the university.
