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 In the eyes of Penn State should be required to attend University, Student Security summer seminars which are free, officers are qualified. When so “hat they can receive proper applying for the job at High- training. As for false infor acres,student security candidates ma^lon applications, this must be interviewed by a full- ° an easi ly he taken care of time Security officer. During checking out the validity these interviews, they are asked ° the applicants’ claims, for their solutions to various or f hime should be concen situations and must submit a trated oq hhe quality of the list of any past work which Student Security officer, in they feel would qualify them for s ' beaa quantity.
