Student Security EyJoycc *- E " ton
The idea of employing
students as parttime Sec
urity is a practical meth
od for employing more Sec
urity at half the price,
since it is possible to
hire two or three of these
students for the price of
one full time professional
officer.
Tne position opened up
more jobs for students, and it
was thought that Student Sec
urity would create a feeling
of interaction between students
and Security, instead of the
Gestapo-like atmosphere gener
ated by professional full-time
Security. Yet, favorable as
they may seem, too much empha
sis has been placed upon these
aspects. More priority should
be given to the most important
job of a Security officer,
which is the protection of per
sonal property. And after re
cent incidents on campus, one
would wonder if Student Sec
urity is qualified to do this
job.
it is possible for an applicant
to include false information on
his application. Also, as men
tioned earlier, once a student
is hired, he is trained by a .
full-time officer. But what
qualifies that Secutiry officer
as an instructor?
Present training is insuf
ficient, but because of finan
cial reasons, Penn State will
not hire a professional instruc
tor. However, there is an al
ternative. Student Security

must be interviewed by a full- ° an easi ly he taken care of

for their solutions to various or f hime should be concen
situations and must submit a trated oq hhe quality of the

they feel would qualify them for s ' beaa quantity.
