The subject index typesets OK. The class you use manages multiple  
indices with different commands:
-------------------
\newcounter{ptitl}
\def\aindx#1{\index{author}{#1}}    %For Author index
\def\sindx#1{\index{subject}{#1}}   %For Subject index
\def\gindx#1{\index{general}{#1}}   %For General index
--------------------

And indeed you have in your preamble

\newindex{aindx}{adx}{and}{Author Index}       % author index
\newindex{sindx}{idx}{ind}{Subject Index}  % subject index
\makeindex

and then at the end of your document

\printindex[aindx]                % to print author index
\printindex[gindx]
\printindex[sindx]                % to print subject index

But I *only see* \index commands in your text. I think that maybe the  
original error was in the index generation, and that caused an  
spurious error in the Bibliography. Therefore, as you only use \index  
commands, you have to comment out those \newindex lines and, at the  
end of your document, just say \printindex.

In a separate mail I'm attaching the folder with the fixed *.tex file,  
and resulting PDF.

Best,
