Discipline Guide

Two-page guide listing Public Service Offenses, which included: fighting, violence, ridiculing, vandalism, stealing, boisterousness, deceit, cutting class, etc. Appears to be written for school and classroom behaviors – but much could also be applied to general conduct. Points towards PSU could be assigned for various actions, leading to serving time on PSU.

ISS Report

Examples of behavior write-ups by people on ISS duty.

Security “Day Helper” (DH) Reports

Examples of reports written up by various security personnel for behaviors seen during their time on duty in September 1978. “Personnel are to rove constantly and do roll call checks. Observer crews and community services. Rove out the security route.” After July 1978 there were to be three to four roll call checks daily: people were responsible to check in at their place of work or with their residential supervisor.
