changes in the College proce
dures used in certifying em
ployees as loyal have been
released by President Milton
S. Eisenhower. Empoyees
must be certified as non-sub
versive under Section 13 of the
Pennsylvania Loyalty Act.
Specific amendments allow a de
partment head to certify an em
ployee as loyal even though he
does not sign a loyalty oath or
fill out a loyalty questionnaire.
The amended procedures read:
"If an applicant for employment
feels that because of religious or
other conscientious objections he
cannot comply with the above
methods of certification, the cer
tifying officer may, if he chooses,
certify such applicant on the basis
of 'an investigation . . ."
Another major 'change in the
procedures redefines the Loyalty
Review Board —it is now com
posed of seven men on one panel.
Previously the board was made
up of two panels of five persons
each. One panel handled cases in
volving academic personnel and
the other non-academic personnel.
The new seven-man board will
handle both academic and non
academic personnel. The new
board is made up of persons who
were previously on the two panels,
that is, the new board is a com
posite of the older double panel
board.
The changes were announced in
a letter addressed to members of
the faculty and staff and signed
by President Milt on S. Eisen
hower. The letter reads, in part:
"On March 27, 1953, the Board
of Trustees approved amendments
to the procedures employed by
The Pennsylvania State College
in complying with the provisions
of Section 13 of the Pennsylvania
Loyalty Act . . .
"I attach herewith a copy •of
the amended sections - of the pro
cedures."
Section 13 of the loyalty act re
quires the certifying of state em
ployees by the president of the
various colleges and universities.
