CTF's telephone extension remains the same, 2100.
With these expanded quarters, it is possible to
administer the Agency's qualifications tests in type-
writing and shorthand on the same day. Beginning
in May, these qualifications tests will be given on
designated Mondays, typewriting at 9:00 a. m. and
shorthand at 10:30 a.m. (The shuttle service from
most Agency buildings will accommodate employees
at these hours.) Persons interested in taking qualifi-

SENIOR Nominations of CIA representatives to attend 1968-69
OFFICERS sessions of Senior Officers Courses should be under
COURSES consideration. Since the Agency's Training Selection
Board must make an earlier determination among
candidates for the Imperial Defence College, the names
of nominees for that program should be forwarded by
Deputy Directors by 15 June. Lists of candidates for
the other courses -- the Senior Defense Colleges, the
Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy, and the Advanced
Management Program at Harvard University -- should
be in the hands of the Executive Secretary of the Training
Selection Board by 14 July. All nominations for Senior
Officers Courses are reviewed by the Training Selection
Board, which then sends its recommendations to the
DDCI for final approval. For information on the substance
of any of the courses involved, call
extension 2896.
OFF-CAMPUS Planning for the Fall sessions of the American University
PROGRAMS and George Washington University Off-Campus Programs
at the Agency is under way. It is hoped that basic
undergraduate and certain graduate courses may again
be offered. In an effort to provide courses more re-
sponsive to the needs of the Agency, and, consequently,
to make courses offered more likely to run, Senior
Training Officers have been requested to identify
appropriate subjects for which directorates would
assure a minimum enrollment. At this time, it is
considered that the customary American University
courses in technical management, and, similarly,
George Washington's mathematics course, will be
offe red.
KEEPING Instructors and Training Assistants can save valuable
TRACK time and needless searching of files by making a note
OF of both the film number and correct title of motion
USEFUL pictures used by them. Often a film is required for a
FILMS course but no record is kept of its use by the user.
While the Audio Aids Section has records of film used,
finding a film without the number or title can run to
several hours of searching.
The AAS has a form on which to record pertinent infor-
mation about training films and will be glad to distribute
it to anyone interested in using it. This form was actually
designed by OTR's Training Assistance Staff and can be
extremely useful to anyone having even a casual interest
in training films.

TESTING
The OTR Language School has begun to retest employees
with less than native language proficiency if they have
not been tested within the last three years. This is
part of the Agency's Fbreign Language Policy, which
charges the Language School with responsibility for
testing to provide the input for the Agency's Language
Qualifications Register. The retesting program is
concurrent with that for testing employees who have
claimed a language capacity but have never been
tested. Tests, whether a retest or an initial test,
may be scheduled on the following dates:
Chinese May 23.
June 6 or 20.

visit HEADQUARTERS
On Friday, 21 April, fifty-four cadets and two
escorting officers from the United States Military Academy
visited the Agency to receive briefings on the mission and
functions of CIA and to hear a lecture on National Intelligence
Estimates. The visit has become an annual event, part of
a week's tour of Washington, D. C., for selected members
of the Military Academy's Debate Council and Forum.
The West Point Debate Council and Forum was
formally organized just after World War II to provide,
among other things, opportunities for cadets to explore
more fully certain areas of the social sciences, particularly
national and international affairs, and to build, through stu-
dent contacts resulting from various activities, mutual under-
standing between the civilian community and the military.
During the visit to Washington, First and Second Classmen,
most of whom are on the Dean's List, are given a first-hand
view of the Federal Government in operation. Their Washington
itinerary includes the Department of State, the Executive
Office of the President, and the Congress, as well as the
Central Intelligence Agency.
The briefings on the mission and functions of CIA
were provided by members of the Orientation and Briefing
Faculty of OTR's Intelligence School. The lecture on National
Intelligence Estimates was delivered by Sherman Kent, Director
of National Estimates and Chairman of the Board of National
Estimates.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL
SEMINAR
as *zaftewd. &j deaela iticeoct akd ucte'ucal de6e#cde
The National Interdepartmental Seminar was established in
compliance with pertinent Presidential directions to provide instruc-
tion on the problems faced by the United States in dealing with develop-
ing countries, particularly counterinsurgency problems. It is conducted
at the Foreign Service Institute of the Department of State as an inter-
agency training activity for the Department of State, USIA, AID, the
Department of Defense, and CIA. The faculty, under the direction of
a coordinator and a deputy coordinator, consists, as does the student
body, of representatives of the five participating agencies.
The objective of the course is to familiarize key civilian and
military officers assigned to command, staff, "country team, " and
departmental positions relative to developing countries - - especially
those where insurgency is active or incipient -- with U. S. policy,
doctrines, and capabilities applicable to the prevention and defeat of
inimical subversion and subversive insurgency. The National Security
Agency, and consequently CIA, has made this type of training a pre-
requisite for assignment to designated "key positions, " although
exceptions can be made by the head of a department or agency and the
training can be made available to other selected personnel on a case-
by-case basis.
Participants in the four-week program study the origins of
insurgency as well as the techniques to defeat subversive insurgency;
learn of the unique and indispensible contributions which all operational
arms of U. S. policy can bring to bear at the "country team" level in
preventing and defeating insurgency inimical to U. S. interests; study
as "country team" components so as to encourage the development of
a spirit of cooperation and understanding which will assure the maximum
integration and effectiveness of U. S. effort abroad; examine American
AID and military assistance programs in order to gain a better under-
standing of their effectiveness; analyze methods by which the U. S.

resources can assist local governments to increase their acceptability
among the "critical sectors" and strengthen the social cohesion of the
people through programs designed to close the socio-political gaps
between urban centers, the government, and the countryside; and probe
the difficulties of inducing traditional establishments through a mix of
military and other assistance and advice to move in the direction of
effective internal defense structurely based on military, paramilitary,
and police forces and to undertake programs destined to enhance the
identification of the populace with the constituted government.
This course content has been carefully tailored to develop an
analytical understanding of the nature of the modernization process,
its multiple dimensions and transitional instabilities, the potential for
exploitation of these instabilities by internal and external forces, and
the nature and extent of the U. S. capability to influence the processes
of change in directions compatible with U. S. interests and policy
objectives. Morning lectures, case studies, and readings are supple-
mented by afternoon "country team" sessions wherein small groups
of officers assigned to the same geographical area and representing,
to the extent possible, all participating agencies apply what they have
learned in the course to their area.
The course is subject to constant scrutiny so that it will meet
the needs of the students and the agencies they represent. Frank
evaluations are solicited from students together with suggestions for
improvement. At the same time, annual coordination conferences
permit directors of training of agencies concerned with the question
of internal defense to exchange views and experience, to evaluate
requirements in this type of training, and to keep current with their
respective activities and accomplishments in this area.
Student evaluations have indicated broad agreement on three
principal benefits from this Seminar: It widens the perspective from
which policy problems and programs can be viewed; it provides a
broader comprehension of total U. S. policy; and it offers practical
exposure to the roles and concerns of other agencies.
CIA has consistently participated in the National Interdepart-
mental Seminars since their inception, providing both lecturers and
without schedule conflict. The schedule of National Interdepartmental
Seminars is published regularly in the "Bulletin Board" section of the
OTR Bulletin.

'67 COLLEGE ENTRANCE
STILL POSSIBLE
April is usually a vital time for prospective college students,
for many schools send out their acceptance or rejection letters during
that month. The thousands of high school seniors who receive only
rejections very naturally tend to panic. Yet, as an article by Benjamin
Fine in the April 1967 issue of Hag's Magazine points out, there
are still possibilities for the determined student, even though he may
have only average grades.
The first step, Mr. Fine, writes, is to realize that most of the
rejected students were turned down by only a handful of highly selective
colleges -- nearly half of all college applications, he points out, are
made to fewer than ten percent of the colleges. A study made at this
time in 1966, Mr. Fine adds, revealed that among the 1, 200 accredited
four-year colleges in the United States, almost half still had vacancies
and could have accommodated 50, 000 additional freshmen. To be sure,
a large number of these schools were small and perhaps remote, but
they were academically sound institutions.

The major problem is finding information, even the names and
locations of these smaller, relatively unknown colleges. The serious
student or parent can act on his own, using such standard references
as "Lovejoy's College Guide, " the "Comparative Guide to American
Colleges" by Cass and Bienbaum, and the "New American Guide to
Colleges" by Gene R. Hawes. These publications provide the answers
to most of the questions relevant to deciding which colleges meet
specific requirements: curriculum, location, costs, admission require-
ments, and financial aid. Although some or all of these references are
available in public libraries and high school guidance offices, they are.
available for consultation, too, in the OTR Registrar's office, Room
832, 1000 N. Glebe Road, where there is also a collection of individual
college catalogs. Prompt action in consulting these references and
following up with letters direct to several colleges may avoid disappoint-
ment for some prospective college students and their parents.
Another course of action is turning to the three regional
clearinghouses which were originally set up to assist the "rejected"
applicant in finding an alternate college. Each of these institutions,
for a fee of approximately $20, sends the complete academic file of
the applicant to the colleges and universities affiliated with the particu-
lar clearinghouse. For Eastern colleges, the clearinghouse is the
College Admissions Assistance Center, 461 Park Avenue South, New
York, N. Y. 10016. For the Midwest, South, and Far West, it is the
College Admissions Center, 610 Church Street, Evanston, Illinois
60201. The third clearinghouse is the Catholic College Admissions and
Information Center, 3805 McKinley Street, N. W. , Washington, D. C.
20015, which can match credentials with the requirements of several
hundred Roman Catholic colleges.
A third avenue for the disappointed four-year college applicant
is the two-year junior or community college. Many of these schools
provide a two-year program immediately transferable to four-year
colleges, particularly if a good record is achieved. Such colleges are
situated in all counties adjacent to the District of Columbia, but similar
adequate facilities are also available in more distant places.
Admittedly the competition for college admission is great, and
remaining time to act this year is indeed short. Whatever approach
taken to solving "rejection" problems, or even a late determination to
apply for admission, it should be done promptly. To arrange to consult
the references noted above, or related references, including a number
on financial assistance, call in the OTR Registrar's
office, extension 2896.

quality being measured solely in terms of the learning accomplished.
The Avionics Fundamentals School of the Naval Air Technical
Training Command compared presentations of "Elements of Electrical
Physics" through conventional instruction and through programmed
instruction. The conventional course required thirteen hours; the
programmed course nine, the latter representing a time saving of
thirty-one percent. A total of 226 Navy and Marine Corps trainees
involved in the experiment were given two measures of the learning
derived from the courses. The group which utilized programmed
instruction scored significantly higher on the basis of one measure-
ment, although no significant difference was observed in the other.
In the second study, the NATTC compared the relative per-
formance of 200 trainees taking twenty-six hours of conventional
instruction in Electronics Fundamentals with 200 trainees covering
the same subject matter in nineteen hours using programmed instruc-
tion. The programmed course reflected a time reduction of twenty-
seven percent. Measurements indicated that both groups of trainees
learned the comparatively large block of basic electronics to just about
the same degree, those using the programmed techniques doing so in
substantially less time.
Both these experiments demonstrated that the use of PAI can
save training time. The results of these two studies suggest also the
possibility that the amount of programmed material does not affect
an individual's ability to learn as well from programmed instruction
in less time than is required for conventional instruction.

H. e'Objektif "
We frequently encounter the fusion of the terms "teaching"
and "learning" in popular discussion. When used indiscriminately,
it is generally assumed that one term implies the other -- that where
there is active teaching, learning occurs,and that where learning is
evidenced, teaching must have been the cause.
We have discovered in recent years that teaching can occur
without consequent learning and, conversely, that learning can take
place without active teaching. The development of programmed instruc-
tion has added another element to compound the confusion. Teacher
and learner may both be present during programmed instruction, and
learning may still occur or not occur, depending upon the validity of
the programmed instructional design and the degree to which it has been
tested for validation.
What must be done to assure the teacher that he is not merely
a vestigal cog in the technological society? What means is there of
assuring the learner that he can obtain the best opportunity to learn?
How can the designer of materials be shown that he can exploit the
traditional where it serves as a guide to the future state of the art?
It is reasonably apparent that the capable teacher in any given
historical epoch was "a programmed instructor" who stated his objec-
tives, commenced with X to proceed to Y, and validated his presentation
through experience. It is also evident that learners somehow learned
how to learn in the past, just as today's learner learns to use programmed
instruction to advantage. There are also examples of textbooks published
in the past, wherein a good programmed design led the learner by limited
steps one after another to the ultimate objective.
When we consider what is new, how much of tradition can we
eliminate, how much can we utilize? These seem to be relevant questions
we might put to the designer of educational materials for the 1970's.
