About 880 students yesterday signed a petition sponsored by the Liberal Union requesting that Governor Paul A. Dever veto any anti-subversive bills that the legislature may pass.
Walter Carrington '52, president of the Liberal Union, said that the petition would be submitted to the Governor as soon as the joint House-Senate conference committee agrees on one of the several bills before it and submits the revised bill to the governor. Carrington said he thought the number of signatures was "pretty fair, considering that most people today are afraid to sign anything."
The petition said that enactment of any of the anti-subversive bills would "curtail academic freedom," It continued: "Its provisions regulating holding of meetings and assembled would force Universities such as ours to abandon the time-honored practice of having speakers of all political persuasions."
