Professional Promotion Panel at the request of
b. Two item concerning security deserve mention in this report:
1. In an effort to improve the overall security of the
Auditoria, a Stage Security Officer will henceforth be
appointed from among the student body. His responsibilities
have been written up for inclusion in the Security Instruotioes
banded to students attending Intelligence Orientation. The
appointsrnt of a Stage Security Officer will give us a double
check on the vault, storage room and assorted rostrum and
tables kept on the stage..
2. The staff of both Introduction to Intelligence and
Introduction to Ca^ounism, the guard force and the Office of
Security were all equally baffled when the yale look, norn]ly
unused, on the vault door was inadvertently thrown into looking
position by a student Room Security Officer. After a series of
unsuccessful attempts to find the key to this look, it was
decided by all concerned that the best procedure was to ask a
representative of TS8 to pick the lock. This naneuver was so-
couplished in approximately three minutes, a fact which speaks
either well for TSS or badly for the Yale Look Company, We have
requested that this look be removed from the door and the hole
plugged*
c. On Friday., 25 January a conference was hold in the offices 25X1
m
The agenda consisted of the amalgamation
into a single form of the present final evaluation farms used by

eatabliebwent of a five point rating scale and the item analysis of
test questions. It was decided that a single form could-be instituted
at any tine and that a five point rating scale should not be attempted
until the item analysis has been completed, test questions revised
whore necessary and confidence developed in the ability of the tests
to diserindnate effectively in such a manner that a fl point scale
would show meaningful differentiation a st t sauces.
