board of governors to pay the
remainder of the money due the
council at once.
Council President Thomas Du
rek said that - the AIM treasury

council. He said that the member
councils of the AIM deposit their
funds, all received from the 25
cent assessment for each man in
the area, with the AIM, and draw

the AIM with inefficiency and
said that he understood there' was
a deficit in the AIM treasury, AIM

•
The court decision, handed down Friday, ordered the school's
board of regents to reinstate the 18 discharged teachers suing for
their jobs. The board's August
ruling that all teachers at the
school must swear a non-com

charge of 26 faculty members,
but eight did not .join in the suit
or dropped out.
California faculty members
have always sworn a routing oath
of allegiance to the state and
the nation. Last August the re
gents added a specific disavowal
of membership in the .communist
party or' organizations. It was this
part of the oath that was held
unconstitutional 'in the court rul

The' California decision is sig

of a loyalty oath bill which has

The Pennsylvania measure would
require all state employees, in

belong to no "subversive organ
