achieve auditing results; (e) to get a reality on the achieving of
auditing results by exact duplication of current methodology and

SCHIZOPHRENIA, 1. the most prevalent "mental disorder" is
supposed to be schizophrenia. This means "scissors" or two plus
"head." A two-head In other words. And in this case two heads are
not better than one (joke). You see this in institutions. A person
is changing valences (personalities) click-click-click, one to the
next. But the condition is a gradient one that worsens between
sanity and the bottom of the scale. Midway, the condition is common
but almost never noticed. It is so common today that it passes as
normal humanoid. The person is not doing what he is doing. Examples
of this are: people who do not like a job with responsibility
because they "like to do mechanical things so they can dream of
something else before they can ; persons who are out of area;
persons who continually make dev-t. There is also the person who
rams sideways into the work of others with "mistakes", "demands"
and prevents them from doing what they are doing while himself not
doing what he is doing. One can't say these people are crazy. Not
today. But one can say they make problems, which are very difficult
unless you know how to unlock the riddle. (HCO PL 3 Apr 72) 2. a
withdrawal from reality. (7202C22 SO) 3. schizophrenia is the HO
list madly out on the point of disassociation. (7202C22 SO)

SCIENTOLOGIST, 1. someone who can better conditions. A
Scientologist then, is essentially one who betters the conditions
of himself and the conditions of others by using Scn technology. Of
course, there are lots of "do-gooders" and people trying to better
conditions, but the difference between them and a Scientologist is
that the Scientologist is the one who knows how. He is equipped
with far superior know-how. He is in much better shape than the
person on the street. (BPL 21 Oct 71 I) 2. an individual interested
in Scn. Disseminates and assists Scientologists. (HCO PL 21 Oct 66
II, City Office System) 3. the being three feet behind society's

SCIENTOLOGISTS HATTED, (Public Division Statistic) number of
Scientologists hatted: the stat is redefined as any Scientologist
or Dianeticist who can produce the 4 products of a Scientologist.
When he can do that he's a hatted Scientologist. "Any Scientologist
or Dianeticist" means any person who has completed any Scn or Dn
course or 12-1/2 hour intensive and who is a member of the church.
The "produce" means with case in a reasonable period of time. The 4
products of a Scientologist are: (a) purchased books, (b)
disseminated knowledge, (e) environmental control, (d) a cleared
planet (or in other words to break it down: new Scientologists or
Dianeticists). (HCO PL 28 Nov 71R II)
SCIENTOLOGY, 1. the word Scientology is one which you might say
is anglicized. It comes from the Latin Scio and the Greek Logos,
with Scio the most emphatic statement of know we had in the Western
world. And ology (from Logos) of course means "study of." Scio is
"knowing in the fullest sense of the word" and the Western world
recognizes in it and in the word science something close to a
truth. (PXL, p. 1) 2. a religion in the oldest sense of the word, a
study of wisdom. Scn is a study of man as a spirit in his
relationship to life and the physical universe. It is
non-denominational. By that is meant that Scn is open to people of
all religions and beliefs and in no way tries to persuade a person
from his religion, but assists him to better understand that he is
a spiritual being. (BPL 6 Mar 69) 3. a religious practice applying
to man's spoilt and his spiritual freedom (HCO PL 6 Apr 69) 4. the
ability to change condition. The technology of how you change. (SH
Spec 57, 6604C06) 5. Scn as practiced by the Church of Scientology
is a spiritual and religious guide intended to make persons more
aware of themselves as spiritual beings restoring respect for self
and others and not treating or diagnosing of human ailments of body
or mind nor engaged in the teaching or practicing of the medical
arts or sciences. (BPL 24 Sept 78RA XIII) 6. not the field of the
human mind, Scn is the overall science which also includes the
human mind. (5410C04) 7. Scn assumes that every man can be more
able than he is and then goes ahead with very precise techniques to
make him so. (5510C08) 8. the science of mind. It teaches the
fundamentals of life, the laws and basics of living. Our technology
can be used to handle any condition that you find in life and if
applied it will better those conditions. Scn is not some esoteric
body of knowledge only to be used in the auditing room. It is
something one can go out
461
into the world with and use in all walks of life as well. It seems
that this us a very broad and an amazing science but this is
because Scn isolates and aligns the basic truths of life and life
is everywhere. (BPL 21 Oct 71 I) Abbr. SON.
SCIENTOLOGY ACCOUNTS SYSTEM, see ACCOUNTS SYSTEM.
SCIENTOLOGY CHURCH REGISTER, a register for marriage, recognition
and naming, and funeral services kept On every Church of
Scientology. The Chaplain keeps the register. It should be in
accordance with any local regulations regarding such. (BPL 24 Apr
69R)
SCIENTOLOGY CONSULTANTS, INC., we have now, for the first time, a
complete line of books in each of Dn and Scn. These are in
actuality separate subjects, and we now have the material and
corporations necessary to make them entirely separate. We are going
to conduct a very large radio campaign throughout the middle West
concerning Dn only. To do this, we will probably revive the Hubbard
Dianetic Research Foundation of Arizona, since this is now getting
cleared up all past accounts. Scn will be exclusively handled by
the Founding Church and the HASI. No letters or literature should
cross the words Dn and Scn. They should be maintained separately.
It is the basic truth that Dn is a mental therapy which was
developed out of the body of knowledge called Scn, as fully
discussed in an early Journal of Scientology (1952), but the legal
position and the actual practice of these two subjects means they
must be kept apart. From a management standpoint, these
organizations are held separately, in view of the fact that they
are to be managed through Scn Consultants, Inc., which is a
management corporation. (HCO PL 25 Jan 57) Abbr. SCI CON.
SCIENTOLOGY COURSE, running a course with no Checksheet is

Special Fund to which the following monies should be transferred:
(1) all sterling area HCO 10%s except where needed for office and

SCIENTOLOGY SYMBOL, the S and double triangle. There are two
triangles, over which the S is imposed. The S simply stands for Scn
which is derived from "Scio" (knowing in the fullest sense). The
lower triangle is the A-R-C triangle - its points being affinity,
reality and communication. These are the three elements which
combined give understanding. The upper triangle is the K-R-C
triangle. The points are K for knowledge, R for responsibility and
C for control. (HCO PL 18 Feb 72)

SEAGULL, a symbol of the Sea Org going back to its first origin.
The seagull is associated with the power of the sea. Traditionally,
a bird soaring skywards is symbolic of the spirit ascending, or
freeing itself, and, generally speaking, birds are symbols of
thought, or imagination, and of the swiftness of spiritual
processes and relationships. In the Sea Org coat of arms, the bird
is used in a group of three. Thusly, it represents such concepts as
the third dynamic, the cycle of action, and the Be-Do-Have cycle. A
group of three also symbolized spiritual synthesis, and is the

is Secretarial to the Executive Director. The word "Secretarial"
applies to the signature meaning it is signed as official by a
person other than LRH personally. It is the written initials in the
lower left-hand corner that are "Secretarial." The system came into
use to accommodate cable orders originally. By being sealed and
initialed by an official person like a notary public in the org,
the validity of the order was attested as a valid order of LRH.

"Secretarial Executive Director." It is on blue paper. The
signature of the Executive Director or the Acting Executive
Director is typed below the message. Date and subject are included.
Each SEC ED is numbered by the issuing Executive Director. The
exact text of the note or cable is duplicated without additions or
deletions. This is never a mimeographed item. The original sealed
SEC ED, with the note or cable, goes to HCO files. A copy is
immediately posted on the staff bulletin board by the HCO personnel
who typed it and signed and sealed it. Another copy goes to the org
/Assn Sec. Another copy goes to the HCO Area Sec. SEC EDs are high
speed, urgent communications having the force of policy and require
instant emergency compliance. The SEC ED is the high velocity comm
line used to change personnel, to handle emergencies or to make
limited time policies or to handle personnel conflicts or chronic
slumps. All SEC EDs expire fully one year from date of issue but
are kept on record although no longer in force. The subjects of SEC

(HCO PL 4 Feb 61) 12. a hat is not a hat anymore he a Central
Organization unless it's Secretarial Executive Director on blue
paper, black ink, with a corporation seal on every valid copy. When
a Secretarial Executive Director is Issued, it is published on the
bulletin board and given to the persons to whom it applies. Now
this means Secretarial Executive Director operates as the Secretary
to the Advisory Committee or Advisory Council. The Secretarial
Executive Director operates as Secretary to the board or any other
committee action or hoard action that takes place. This person, who
is ready the HCO Steno, turns up as the Recording Secretary,
prepares the minutes and sends them to the proper places for
signature. That's one action. The other action this person takes is
to collect old hats. If there's any new hat write-up, the
Secretarial Executive Director issues it. If there are any changes
that take place in the organization by its orders, Secretarial
Executive Director changes them. So you get, in essence, hat
preparation and write-up the issuance of general orders for the
local organizations through the Secretarial Executive Director.
Now, you get HCO Secretarial Letters. Very seldom will you get
anything that says "Secretarial Executive Director for Washington
D.C. only" because if its going wrong in one place, it's going
wrong someplace else too. But you do get Incidental orders to that
effect, so they can't be excluded. Instead of that you get an HCO
Secretarial Letter. Now this HCO Secretarial Letter arrives in a
central operation and is converted by Secretarial Executive
Director, after being viewed by the HCO Secretary. It is converted,
and it says: "Secretarial Executive Director, HASI, Johannesburg."
She types it all up. They are never mimeographed unless they are
for the whole staff or something. She puts a copy on the board, she
puts a copy to the persons to, and that's it. She's issued it. Now,
these are all policies. These things are basically policies. They
are hats, and so on. They may have particularities, but they
definitely have lots of policies connected with them. (5812C29)

electronic gear don't run without careful nursing, and his ship's
don't sail well at all without extreme care. It behooves one to be
pretty expert at sea to arrive at all. So in these various articles
in this org book, you will find data to fill in the gaps. It is not
invented data, it is for the most part painfully traditional. The
reason this book exists at all is because man's texts, and his
memory, are woefully inadequate. I have given here, amongst various

omitted for the most part from the manuals available. (FO 40)

whereby it creates an entity or group or organization to bring
about some change of value within the community or to handle some
outstanding social injustice. In many cases the reform or action is

action to be effected is one which will require more time and
effort. In expending such time and effort, PR to keep ahead finds
itself in the situation of having and running a group or
organization within its own bureau; therefore, PR must, when this
occurs, realize that it is now in the situation of managing and
administrating an established entity which is likely to continue
and, therefore, should fully turn over the terminals, lines and
organization of same to the Social Coordination Bureau which is the
Guardian Bureau which properly acts as a management unit for such

SPECIAL DRUG RUNDOWN, the special drug rundown was issued to
handle persons currently on drugs. Such persons have to be weaned
off drugs no order to be audited. This is done by having the person
do TRs further assisted by vitamins. Those with heavy drug
histories or recently or currently on drugs do not usually run well
on engrams until objective processes have been run (CCHs, 8-C,
etc.). Thus a person currently on drugs would require a full TR
course as the first step and then objective processing before the
standard drug RD per C/S Series 48R could be started. Such a person
is therefore enrolled onto the HQS (which includes TRs and
co-auditing on objective processes) as their first step. But note
that this is for persons currently on drugs, not for anyone who has
ever taken drugs. (BTB 25 Oct 71R II)

SPECIALIST CHIEF'S DEPARTMENT, (Ship Org Board) Department 12,
Division 4, the Production Division. He should be all ready to go
into action on any of his functions, have the right equipment, keep
records, plan ahead and generally I would think be your answer man
for problems, like how can I raise that anchor we lost last night?
or what can the crew do this afternoon on liberty on this
godforsaken rock we've landed on? (Ship's Org Bk.)
SPECIALIST RECRUITER, responsible for the recruitment of

or engineers or any other specialized field he will concentrate on
finding personnel for that area and of that particular skill
needed. (FO 3475)

before you have a generally trained crew. Each person is trained to
do his exact duty or his exact part of the drill. (6910C16 SO)

being trained fully to total competence on the exact actions and
handling of one specific post. (FSO 413)
SPECIAL MAILINGS, issued from time to time to announce special
events or offers to the public or pro auditors. At the discretion
of the Assn Sec. (HCO PL 4 Feb 61)
SPECIAL OFFERING, an offering in which a large block of stock is

SPECIAL PROGRAMS OFFICER, (Flag) the Staff Special Programs
Officer, under CS-6 to directly coordinate the Special Programs
Unit via the Public Officer, plus Special Projects Worldwide. (FO
1715)
SPECIAL PROGRAMS SECTION, 1. (FB) the Special Programs Section is
mainly concerned with putting Scn into areas where there is little
or
488
no Scn. (CBO 189-1) 2. pilot project section. Every time you get
one of these will ideas you put it into special programs and it
will wind up not wrecking you. All new types of expansions are
ploted, they are ploted. Otherwise, you'll go broke, because you're
testing consumption. (FEBC 8, 7101C24 SO I)
SPECIAL PROGRAMS UNIT, the Special Projects Unit is transferred
under the Public Officer, Div VI (Flag). This unit becomes the
Special Programs Unit, which will compile data and complete targets
as assigned. (FO 1715)
SPECIAL PROJECT, 1. there's a lot of trial and error in
developing a program. That's why any new program should be only a
"special project" for a while, off the org main lines, really,
under special management. If a "special project" starts to show up
well in finance (and only in finance), then one should include it
"in" with its new staff as an org standard project. (HCO PL 24 Dec
66) 2. to find and establish a program, one conceives of a solution
and sets it up independent of org lines with its own staff and
finance as a special project. When a special project is seen to be
effective or, especially, profitable, it is then put into the org
lines as worked out in the "special project," bringing its own
staff with it. (HCO PL 24 Dec 66 II)
SPECIAL PROJECTS UNIT, see SPECIAL PROGRAMS UNIT.
SPECIAL SERVICES UNIT, to accommodate the expansion of AOLA solo
and Advanced Courses delivery to the public of the Western

(e) Folder and Pre-OT Admin/Page. (fl QuaI/Cramming/Certs and
Awards/Success/Examiner. (g) Reception/Registrar/Cashier. (BO 43
U.S., 31 Oct 73)
SPECIAL STATS UNIT, there is obviously a sPecial stats post
somewhere in the Ops Bureau. The guy is drawing up stats for some
thing or other. There's somebody always either catching up backlogs
of stats or drawing up a special graph for some evaluation. E.g.
"What were the stats of Keokuk Org in 19527" You can call it a
special stats unit. (7205C13 SO)
SPECIALTY GOODS, goods for which there is a limited market or
which are designed for special purposes, demands or needs. A store
selling only goods made of Oriental jade or ivory is dealing in
specialty goods.
SPECIAL ZONE PLAN, 1. we are masters of IQ and ability. We have
know-how. Any of us could select out a zone of life in which we are
interested and then, entering it, bring order and victory to it.
The third and fourth dynamics subdivide. Any third breaks down into
many activities and professions, a neighborhood, a business
concern, a military group, a city government, etc., etc., etc. The
fourth dynamic breaks down just now mainly to races and nations.
Now just suppose a Scientologist were to consider himself a
professional only for the purposes of treating and repairing or
even starting again these third and fourth zones? See this: a
housewife, already successful employing Scn in her home, trained to
professional level, takes over a woman's club as secretary or some
key position. She straightens up the club affairs by applying comm
practice and making peace and then, incidental to the club's main
function, pushes Scn into a zone of special interest in the club -
children, straightening up marriages, whatever comes to hand and
even taking fees for it - meanwhile of course going on being a
successful and contributing wife. So this is a challenge on the
third and fourth. Almost all Scientologists are in a position to
begin to help on such a program. (HCOB 23 Jun 60) [See the
reference HCOB for a full description of the Special Zone Plan 12.
To Director of Zoning, London: please arrange the following: make a
card fee out on everybody that comes in; and in particular write
down name, address, and the zone they're interested in, and the
possibility or not that they will do volunteer auditing evenings
for some special personality. Keep this list of special zone
workers and keep it out of OF as such. You can info addressograph
that so and so is a special zone worker, but for now keep your own
card fee and build it up. (HCO PL 20 Jul 60)
SPECIFIC ORDER PRODUCTION, see PRODUCTION, JOB.
SPECIFIC QUESTION, the difference between a general and a
specific question is a matter of general or specific terminal. If
the question has a general terminal such as "anyone," "men,"
"people" it is harder to clear than a question with a specific
terminal such as "your father," "Miss Smith" etc., etc. (HCO PL 9
Oct 61)
SPECIFIC UNEMPLOYMENT, see UNEMPLOYMENT, SPECIFIC.
SPECTATOR, 1. let us look at the definition of OT - cause over
thought Life Form Matter Energy Space and Time. As one falls away
from that one becomes a spectator, then one becomes effect. In the
society today spectatorism is very common. Magazine writers,
reporters write weird pieces that look at how odd things are. The
writer doesn't understand them at all. He just watches them.
Spectatorism is not so low as total effect. The total effect - no
cause - person has mainly a case. He doesn't even look. (HCO PL 14
Jan 69) 2. Spectatorism is very great in our modern society.
Because some people cannot conceive of causing anything they just
watch it. They don't do anything. They are not participants. They
are spectators. You see this in magazines; a bee, bee, hee article
about how odd this is or that is. No understanding of it. It's just
odd and one watches it in a detached sort of way. Below this is
somebody who doesn't even notice. Such a person has to come up
stale just to be a spectator. What we need are more participants,
more team mates. (OODs 14 Jan 69)
SPECULATIVE MAILING LIST, a list of names and addresses of people
who might he interested. (BPL 17 May 69R I)
SPECULATIVE PRODUCTION, see PRODUCTION, SPECULATIVE
SPECULATIVE PURCHASING, see PURCHASING, SPECULATIVE.
SPECULATORS, there are "speculators" who seek to buy something
(like land) cheaply and ceil it
489
dear. Or sell it dear, depress the market and buy it back cheaply.
In either case they make a profit. It is less well understood that
"speculators" also operate on the subject of money itself. By
manipulating the value of one currency against another they seek to
obtain a profit. (HCO PL 3 Dec 71)
SPECULATORS, persons who take large investment risks with the
intent of greatly increasing their capital rather than being
concerned with dividend income.
SPEED-UP, a state in which workers must increase their production
efforts without added reimbursement.
SPLIT-RUN COPY TESTING, advertising practice of running the same
advertisement in deferent media and then comparing results and
relative drawing power of the advertisement in those media.
SPLIT SHIFT, a schedule of work hours that is not continuous but
is spat up unto two or more intervals.
SPOILS SYSTEM, a system whereby promotions or appointments are
made on the basis of the wbluing candidate or political party
rewarding loyal supporters and Fiends by appointing them to public
office.
SPOT CHECK, in checking out technical materials on students or
staff spot check the words and materials, do not try to cover it
all. This is done the same way a final examination is given in
schools: only a part of the material is covered by examination,
assuming that in the student has this right the student knows all
of it. (HCO PL 4 Oct 64)
SPOT MARKET, see MARKET, SPOT.
SPREAD, 1. in investments, the disparity between the price an
investment concern pays for stocks and the selling price for which
they are offered to the public. 2. type of advertisement space or
an advertisement that runs across two or more pages of a magazine
or newspaper.
SP TARGET, some guys are so bad off they set targets like "move
the mountain" and give one and all a big failure. Since there's no
way to do it and probably no reason to either, that's an SP target.
So what must be done means just that. What is vital and necessary.
Not what is simply a good idea. (HCO PL 14 Jan 69)
490
SQUARE DEAL, Slang phrase for a business deal that is fair and
honest.
SQUIRREL, 1. what makes a squirrel? It is the person on the other
side of the squirrel. It is a person invalidating him invalidating
his goals, in validating his interest, and kicking the props out
from underneath him by covert hostility or overt hostility, but in
any way, kicking him apart. He's interested, he's working, but part
of another universe. But practically on the same time continuum is
an invalidative mechanism about this man not Scn. It isn't kicking
Scn around, it's kicking around somebody's stable data and it's
creating continuous confusions for him. So he splits off not
knowing quite where he stands. Is he in this universe called Scn or
is he or she in this universe sailed husband or wife or something
So here we have this invalidative person who is against it on the
other side or our guy and we sometimes can't reach this other
person. (5511C08) -v. 1. means go off line. (HCO PL 3 Dec 68) 2.
(going off in to weird practices or altering Scn) only comes about
from non-comprehension. Usually the non-comprehension is not of Scn
but some earlier contact with an off-beat humanoid practice which
in its turn was not understood. When people can't get results from
what they think is standard practice, they can be counted upon to
squirrel to some degree. (HCO PL 7 Feb 65) -any. by squirrel is
meant off-beat technology. (HCO PL 6 Feb 66)
SQUIRREL ADMIN, the departure or alteration of standard admin.
The use of the word "squirrel" is long standing because squirrels
in their little cages go 'round and 'round and get nowhere and they
are also, a bad pun, "nutty," meaning a bit crazy. The main source
of squirrel admin is simply ignorance of policy procedure or the
neglect of reading and applying it as simply as that. (HCO PL 4 dun
71)
SQUIRREL ADMINISTRATORS, when a squirrel is given a circular
wheel he will run it 'round and 'round and 'round. He gets nowhere.
When persons in an organization do not know organizing or their org
board or hats, they go 'round and 'round and 'round and get
nowhere. There is no valuable production. There is no money. When
you have an organization that has no valuable production you know
that the people there go 'round and 'round and 'round and get
nowhere. They are squirrel administrators. (HCO PL 25 Jan 71)
SQUIRREL COOKERY, there is also squirrel cookery. This normally
arises from not having the proper gradients to hand (supply
failure) and not having anyone to wash and slice and peel raw
materials so they can be cooked. A standard meal comes from planned
menu, correct supply, correct preparation of raw materials and
following the exact recipe. (OODs 2 Feb 71)
STABLE DATUM, 1. we have in Scn a certain doctrine about
confusion. It is called the doctrine of the stable datum. If you
saw a great many pieces of paper whorling about a room they would
look confused until you picked out one piece of paper to be the
piece of paper by which everything else was in motion. In other
words, a confusing motion can be understood by conceiving one thing
to be motionless. Until one selects one datum, one factor, one
particular in a confusion of particles, the confusion continues.
The one thing selected and used becomes the stable datum for the
remainder. (POW, p. 23) 2. any body of knowledge more particularly
and exactly, is built from one datum. That is its stable datum.
Invalidate it and the entire body of knowledge falls apart. A
stable datum does not have to be the correct one. It is simply the
one that keeps things from being in a confusion and on which others
are aligned. (POW, p. 24) 3. a datum which keeps things from being
in a confusion and around which other data align. (NSOL, p. 66)
STABLE TERMINAL, 1. a stable terminal pushes the actions that
belong to his area on the org board and handles or suppresses the
confusions of that area or aligns them with the correct flows. (HCO
PL 4 Nov 69) 2. a post is a position from which a terminal operates
In an org, where one knows that somebody is at. The one holding it
is the stable terminal. (FO 2200) 3. a stable terminal is also a
terminal to whom programs, projects and orders may be given with
the sure knowledge that they will be complied with and executed.
(FO 2201)
STABILIZATION INTENSIVE, in cases where a handle or disconnect
does not resolve the PTS situation, or in auditing a preclear to
maintain stability of release levels, the action follows search and
discovery technology. This will be called a stabilization intensive
and may be ordered by ethics in severe cases or may be sold by the
registrar. (HCO PL 30 Dec 65)

STAFF STATUS, 1. a number following the person's name on the org
board that shows the state of administrative training of the
individual as done in the Staff Training Section. Status numbers go
from 0 for temporary, 1 for provisional, 2 for qualified general
staff member on up for the various executive grades. If no number,
appears after a name, the person is holding the post without
checkout for it. A low ranking staff member can have a high status
number as it is qualified for, not "appointed to." This prevents
qualified from being by-passed in promotion. (HCO PL 13 Mar 66) 2.
a number giving the value and promotion eligibility of a staff
member in this organization. The numbers run from zero to ten. They
designate the type post to which a person may be promoted or the
status of the person. (HCO PL 4 Jan 66 V) 3. staff status is a
result like certificate, depending on study, service and
examination. It is assigned by number derived from study, service
and examination. (HCO PL 18 Nov 65) Abbr. SS.
STAFF STATUS, the conditions of employment in a concern such as
length of usual work week, overtime arrangements, wage payment
method (weekly or hourly basis), holidays, etc., as well as fringe
benefits including health Insurance, pension plan and bonuses which
today generally are extended to all personnel-executives, white
collar employees and blue collar workers.
STAFF STATUS 0 (ZERO), 1. a staff status is a number giving the
value and promotion eligibility of a staff member in this
organization. The status numbers most important to a new staff
member are 0 (zero), 1 and 2. 0 = temporary, 1 = provisional, 2 =
permanent. A staff member who is newly hired is designated 0 (zero)
status after his or her name on the organization board. (HCO PL 4
Jan 66 V) 2. Staff Status 0 as an exact rundown is added as the
initial orientation and hatting step for all new org staff members.
It precedes Staff Status I and II, and is commenced immediately
upon joining staff. The product is: an oriented, in-ethics person,
hatted as a beginning Scientologist and staff member, who knows he
is a Scn staff member and is able to participate. Staff Status 0 is
done per the Staff Status 0 Checksheet. (BPL 27 Apr 73R) Abbr. SS

STAFF STATUS I, a staff member given a provisional rating may
recourse to ethics and have an ethics hearing if dismissed. He may
be transferred to other divisions without a hearing if his division
is over-manned. A provisional is designated as "I" on the org board
after his or her name. To obtain permanent status a provisional
must obtain his or her basic staff certificate..This has a
Checksheet for which the HCO Exec Sec is responsible for compiling.
(HCO PL 4 Jan 66 V) Abbr. SS I.
STAFF STATUS II, a permanent staff member may not be demoted,
transferred or dismissed without a full Committee of Evidence being
held. Permanent status is designated on the org board by the
numeral "2" after a person's name. (HCO PL 4 Jan 66 V) Abbr. SS II.
STAFF STATUS III, 1. Staff Status III is attained by doing the
OEC Volume Checksheet of one's own division and then passing an
examination with a high grade on that OEC Volume. (HCO PL 17 May
74R) 2. each staff member studies and completes OEC Volume 0 and
then goes immediately to the OEC Volume Checksheet for his own
division. When the Checksheet for his own division has been
completed, the staff member will do a written examination, of which
the pass mark is 92%. Additionally, the Examiner Will Aspect the
staff member's division for evidence of application of the
materials on the Checksheet and this examination passed with a high
grade on the volume of one's own division will result in the award
of Staff Status III and is credited on the remaining OEC Course.

STAFF TRAINING OFFICER, 1. the head of the Staff Training
Section, Dept 14, Div 5. The purpose of the STO is: to help LRH
train individual staff members and applicants from his own and
other ores in ethics, tech and admin, keeping track of them,
guiding them through org courses, giving them checkouts, expediting
their training, seeing that their personnel records in Dept 1 of
their org are factual as to training and assisting them in every
way to get training and to be trained rapidly, with the end product
that orgs have no untrained staff members. (HCO PL 21 Sept 69) 2.
responsible for getting the individual through his program on
training making fed utilization of scheduled and other study time.
To do this he uses time machine orders, 2WC, ethics, cramming and
any other device needed to get the staff member through his course
and his program. He is not a supervisor basically. He ensures the
staff programs are being completed. (FO 2324) Abbr. STO.
STAFF TRAINING PROGRAM NO. 2, program to improve admin and stats
of org, by reviving staff status 0, I, II, III on administratively
untrained or new staff. (LRH ED 121 INT)
STAGE FRIGHT, it is the unwillingness to confront a mass. It is a
can't have on the mass. That is ad. To prove that, it is only
necessary to change one's mind or run a process on having that
mass, to cure stage fright. It cures just like that. Remedy of
havingness. (5611C01)
STAGGER SYSTEM, we will institute the stagger system of training
up our executives by relieving one or two at a time and returning
them to Flag for their training. (FBDL 25)
STALE DATE, the term stale date (used previously by banks on
cheques) means any despatch or answer that is older than one should
reasonably expect when one receives it or any answer that is older
in date from origin to answer or answer to receipt than one should
reasonably expect (HCO PL 17 Jul 66)
STALEDATED ORDERS AND DISPATCHES, a type of dev-t where
staledating delays action, often important, and creates anxiety and
emergencies New (developed) traffic results in an attempt to get an
answer or compliance. (HCO PL 27 Jan 69)
496
STALEDATE REPORT, any staff member receiving an internal org
despatch that has been enroute more than three days (dated the
fourth day earlier than date of receipt) must report the matter to
the Director of Communications who must thereupon request the
Director of Inspection and Reports to investigate and report to Dir
Comm and order any resulting ethics action. Anyone sending a stale
date complaint to the Dir Comm must first answer or handle any
despatch he is holding and send it to the Dir Comm with its answer.
Dir Comm copies or xeroxes the original and the answer promptly and
sends the original onto its next recipient and uses the copy only
for investigation. (HCO PL 17 Jul 66)
STANDARD, standard means a definite level or degree of quality
that is proper and adequate for a specific purpose. (Webster's
Third New International Dictionary Unabridged. Standard 3 b, p.
2223).
STANDARD ADMINISTRATION, 1. to approach the subject of standard
administration realistically, one first must recognize that a right
way to do things can exist. There are an infinity of ways not to
start a car. There is only one way to start a car. So it is with
any standard procedure. There is a tech of admin. This would be the
right ways to do administrative actions or organize something.
Standard admin means the usual "on policy" procedure applied. (HCO
PL 4 Jun 71) 2. solutions that work and are therefore routinely
used to handle the situation to which they apply are then called
standard admin. (HCO PL 25 Jan 71) 3. we had to have the
fundamental or basic laws of organization in order to develop the
full structure of organization. Administration becomes standard
when we have the most important points or laws or actions and when
we always use these and use them in just the same way (HCO PL 9 Nov
68) 4. in standard admin, we are acquiring (a) a knowledge of
basics, (b) the basics that exist in and around a specific
organization, (c) the ability to handle those basics with such
speed and certainty that it seems instant. And when we have this,
the organization, will go, go, go with an case and lack of effort
that is astonishing. (HCO PL 9 Nov 68) 5. there is a thing called
standard admin. It comes from the policy letters. When we produced
the wild, soaring tech stats with the Sea Org Class VIII auditor
program it was by putting in the exact processes and grades. By
going super standard we got 100% case gain. It is the same with
policy. If you get an org in with super standard policy -
promotion, form and admin - the stats soar. (HCO PL 25 Oct 63)
STANDARD ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION, when experienced persons, working
from basic theory, have evolved a technique for handling a
situation routinely now handles that situation, we have now a
standard administrative action. (HCO PL 25 Jan 71)
STANDARD BRIEFING, just as there is standard tech so is there
also standard briefing. The following lists the actions of a
standard briefing.
(1) Briefing Officer ensures all mission information and orders
are available and in writing.
(2) Briefing Officer gives each missionaire a copy of the orders
to study. Missionaires study the orders.
(3a) Briefing Officer has each missionaire do individual clay
demos of each target and point of the orders.
(3b) Briefing Officer gives starrate checkouts on each demo per
HCOB 11 October 67, CLAY Table Training.
(3c) Briefing Officer attests on the missionaire's copy of the
Mission Orders that each demo is OK per HCOB 11 October 67, Clay
Table Training.
(4) Briefing Officer checks out starrate each missionaire on his
written mission orders (tape recorded per FO 1530)
(5) Briefing Officer two way comms and drills the mission on the
orders until the missionaires know them and know how to handle any
foreseeable stop to the mission (tape recorded per FO 1530)
(6) Briefing Officer sends each missionaire to Qual to attest he
knows, understands, and will comply with his written mission
orders. This is standard briefing! (FO 2466)

STANDARD DIANETIC AUDITOR, certificate is Hubbard Dianetic
Counsellor (HDC). The Hubbard Standard Dianetics Course teaches
about the human mind, mental Image pictures, the time track, locks,
secondaries, engrams. Processes taught are Standard Dn auditing and
Dn assists. End result is ability to restore or bring others to
complete health and happiness. (CG&AC 75)
STANDARD DIANETIC COMPLETION CERTIFICATE, this certificate
requires a well, happy human being as its end result. Usually this
requires at least 25 hours of Dn auditing and the auditing of a
score or more of items by Standard Dn and may also entail in
conjunction with auditing, medical treatment for any physical
illness or disease. Standard Dn completion tends to ensure full
gains on Scn grades and the attainment of exteriorization with
perception at AO levels. (HCO PL 2 Sept 69 II)
STANDARD DIANETICS, modern Dn auditing is called Standard Dn and
new Dn. It is a precision activity. New Dn is itself. It produces
wonderful results if done exactly. I find it takes a very vigorous
course to make a Standard Dn auditor. (LRH ED 9 INT)
STANDARD DIANETICS C/S COURSE, the tech of Dn is and always has
been different from that of Scn processing. C/Sing of Dn is its own
tech. This is a specialist course that teaches and trains one to
apply that tech as a C/S. Prerequisite is the HSDC (or HPDC).
Available at any Scn org. (BPL 26 Apr 73R I)

STANDARD PRODUCTS, (PR&C) those prod. acts which PR&C produce to
assist top management achieve their goals. (Includes such things as

STAR-RATED BOARD OF REVIEW CHECKOUT, the student may audit on a
process of a certain level when he has passed all theory and
practical checkouts for that process. The Board of Review need no
longer give provisional classification examinations, but need only
ascertain that the student has passed all theory and practical
checkouts for the next process to be run for a particular level. We
will call this a Star-Rated Board of Review Checkout. We will have
to starrate, therefore, each and every HCOB

START CHANGE STOP, the cycle of action of this universe is start,

entire subject of control is summed up in the ability to start,
change and stop one's activities, body and one's environment. (POW,

START-UP COSTS, see COSTS, START-UP.
STAT BOARD, each course has a stat board. It shows each student's
daily stats as he goes along. (BPL 18 Jul 71R I)
STAT CEILING, for every department the HCO Area Sec could have a
stat. That stat would tell him exactly how many letters could be
gotten out. how many this could be done, how many that could be
done, how many students could be handled. He could map the whole
establishment, the whole establishment stat ceiling and that you
could cab a stat ceiling. That stat ceiling per department would
give you exactly what the potential of the establishment was. (FEBC

STATE, a state is composed of individuals who can work
cooperatively. (6910C17 SO)
STATE BANK. see BANK, STATE.
STATEMENT, a summary of an account that shows the amount on hand

ad transactions that occured during a specific time period, usually
monthly.
STATEMENT FILES, each debtor of any company we are handling has
his own life. All invoices and papers relating to such debtors are
kept in this file folder. A statement sheet is also kept. A copy of
the contract (photostat) is kept in this file. The original is kept

company, In in or person who sends us money or owes us money. (HCO
PL 27 Jan 60)
STATE OF EMERGENCY, 1. the indication of a state of emergency can
be read beforehand from an Organization Information Center board,
being forecast by red hes in three or more graphs, or by three red
lines on one graph. If management has tolerated this without action
when one red line occurred a state of emergency has already begun
when it reaches three, since this is patently one or a dozen
dropped bags. The organization can be assumed to be out of control.
(HCO PL 17 Feb 61 II) 2. the state of emergency is a serious
condition. For it takes a series of serious blunders to reduce
statistics or bring about local infamy or a public or press smear
campaign. The state is not idly assigned and is assigned only after
a steadily declining statistic or a series of non-compliances or
offences resulting in over work for seniors of the org or near
catastrophe. (HCO PL 30 Apr 65) 3. when an org or portion of an org
has consistently down statistics (Organization Information Center)
or numerous non-compliances or offences, it is declared to be in a
state of emergency. This can be assigned to a unit. sub-section,
section, department, division or the entire organization. It is not
assigned to a person. (HCO PL 30 Apr 65)
STATE OF THE ORGS, a weekly report called state of the orgs is
submitted by management to the Aides Council and CO FB. This is a
mimeo list of all orgs. It has a column each for each division, for
GI, comps, cash bids, tone and viability. It is marked by the
symbols E for excellent, G for good, P for poor, D for dangerous, F
for failing. Tone is marked not by symbol but - by Tone Scale taken
from reports. On the basis of management reports and stats, the
State of the Orgs is fined in. This also serves as a cross check on
aides divisions over the world. Needless to state the state of the
org list is grouped by continent with the OTL or CLO leading...the
continental group. The continent as a whole is then added up by
division so a line is left for this after each continent. (FO 3113)
STATION, 1. (ship term) the place and action to which a person is
fully grooved in, trained and competent and is assigned. (OODs 7
Jan 70) 2. what his watch duties are. (FO 2674) 3. the position
where a person stands or is placed; the place from which a service
is provided or operations directed. (FO 2967)
STATIONSHIP, the stationship in each area is the stable terminal
for the Commodore and for Flag in that area. The major purpose of
stationships is: to put in and keep going AOs and SHs and Central
Orgs in their areas, and keep the Sea Org solvent. Actions taken by
a stationship would normally be in the form of missions or
projects. Their major observational data of both Scn and SO orgs
and units are, of course, statistics. As a general rule, if stats
are up. the stationship lets the Sea Org COs and Exec Councils
under them get on with the job and backs them up. (FO 2199) Abbr.

STATISTIC, 1. the relative rise or fall of a quantity compared to
an earlier moment in time. If a section moved ten tons last week
and 12 tons this week, the statistic is rising. If a section moved
ten tons last week and only eight tons this week the statistic is
falling. (HCO PL 30 Jan 66) 2. a number or amount compared to an
earlier number or amount of the same thing. Statistics refer to the
quantity of work done or the value of it in money. (HCO PL 16 Dec
65) 3. a tight reality, a stable point, which is to measure any
departure from the ideal scene. (HCO PL 6 Jul 70) 4. a positive
numerical thing that can be accurately counted and graphed on a two

directly the
499
relative survival potential of the organism or its part. (HCO PL 6
Jul 70) 6. the only sound measure of any production or any job or
any activity. (HCO PL 5 Jul 70) 1. the most direct observation in
an org (or a country) is statistics. These tell of production. They
measure what is done. (HCO PL 5 Feb 70) 8. a difference between two
or more periods in time so is always comparative. (HCO PL 6 Nov 66
I) 9. the independent continuing survey of production or lack of

growth. (HCO London, 23 Apr 58)
STATISTIZED, that means the job he does is a statistic that can
he verified. (HCO PL 1 May 65 III)
STAT MANAGEMENT CHECKLISTS, checklists taken from policy letters
on or related to management by statistics and interpretation of
statistics. They are inspection specialists. The items are all
taken directly from the PLs and the only change in the wording of
any of them consists of making each one a negative. Thus if in
using a checklist the inspector or observer asks himself, "Does
this item on this checklist exist here?", and finds that it does
exist, then the PL the item belongs to is to that degree, violated,
and he knows that he has his hands on an error, an out-point, or a
possible why. As the subject is broad and has a lot of materials on
it, the checklists have been divided into 4 parts. Part A is to do
with the indicators and consequences of not having and using stats.
Part B concerns the admin and preparation of graphs for
500
Inspection and use. Part C has to do with handling statistics,
reading statistics, analyzing statistics. Part D concerns
inspection of areas with down stats, actions to take on stats, and
what to do at cut the conclusions arrived at in reading or
analyzing the stats. (BPL 29 Sept 72R I)
STATUS SEEKING, the effort to become more important and have a

STICKY GRAPH, one that won't rise no matter what one does. Such a
graph is made. It is not a matter of omission. It is a matter of
action. If one is putting heavy effort into pushing a graph up and
it won't go up then there must be a hidden counter-effort to keep
it down. (HCO PL 6 Nov 66 I)

STOCK CARDS, stock cards for all equipment possession or issue in
organizations shall be prepared by the administrative head of the
organization. The idea of "company property" is both stupid and
dangerous. That which is "owned by everyone" is actually owned by
no one and falls apart. A car is not issued to "Department of
Materiel." It is issued to John John, who happens also to be
Director of Materiel. When a person is transferred, his possessions
are signed for by the person, as a person, who takes over that
position. If it exists somebody owns it and has signed for it. And
until a new person signs for it the old owner is liable for it
regardless of his whereabouts or new post. Until it is signed for
initially it is owned by the administrative head and if anything
happens to it or it is lost, the administrative head is liable for
it. The stock cards should be stiff cards of good size kept in a
box that fits them. There is only one card per piece of equipment.
The card says where it is and what it is and when bought and has
ample area for owning and transferring signatures. (HCO PL 15 Feb
64)
STOCK CONTROL, 1. the maintenance of enough stocks such as raw
materials and finished goods, to support the current or expected
level of business without losing money due to over or under

against the current demand for finished goods, costs of storage
space and the relative worth of having capital tied up in one's

STUPIDITY, 1. the essence of stupidity can not only be produced
by out-points it can he just missing data but that is another thing

gradients. He does not know what a potato peeler is, he never
checked out on the thing. What it is, is omitted technology. (ESTO

the stupid all things except the very simple ones are confused.
(POW, p. 22)

the being, organism, group, race or species which forward the basic
purpose. They must amplify, qualify and/or describe the action or
procedure of the part of the whole in a brief and crisp way so as
to hold them in function in their support of the basic purpose.
They could also be called, the purpose of a part of the whole, or

with a special function. (HCO PL 13 Mar 65, Divisions 1, 5, The
Structure of Organization What is Policy?)

success stories into types of successes and results. Distributes
and posts success stories and makes such available for use in Div 6
and Div 2 promotion pieces and also for Div 2 and Div 6 Regs use.
Sees that success stories are used. All these duties adds up to
ensuring good word of month. (HCO PL 14 Nov 71RA II) 2. could be
called a Qual function due to its flub catch aspects or a Div 6
function due to its promotion aspects. Thus question has arisen as
to its org board position. Actually the argument is based on
sub-products. Senior is the fact that success monitors word of
mouth and therefore is a vital part of PR area control in Div 6. It
is difficult for PR to succeed on the face of poor word of mouth.
Success is the checkpoint that will ensure good word of month and
will prevent persons with bad indicators leaving the org which will
create bad word of month. When success functions are ready in, good
word of mouth results and a PRO can do his job with reality and
without stumbling into bad word of mouth. An additional benefit is
that success provided the vital information line on the results the
org is obtaining with its services and this contributes to making
PR real. Success is a type of PR area control in itself and goes in
as an ingredient to make up the whole of PR area control. Success
monitors word of mouth = part of PR area control = Division 6. This
finalizes the position of success. (HCO PL 5 Aug 71 II)

communication success stories into the hands or notice of the org's
publics, enhancing and increasing desire for the Org's services.
His immediate day to day function would be to man the Success
Officer desk on the public flow line, and interview each org

SUPERIOR SERVICE IMAGE PROGRAM NO, 1, 1. Instant Service Project
is part of the superior org image. An org never backlogs pcs or
students. Never makes them wait. Official orgs are really there to
service groups, franchises and the public. They are supposed to be
sources of superior service. The service must be superior to that
available from groups, franchises and field auditors and should
help them handle their rough pcs and students and assist them to
function. An org isn't a competitor to groups, franchises and field
auditors. It is the unit to which these feed people and to which
those in the field look for help, data and training. An org isn't
just another franchise. It must be a snap and pop senior that knows
its business and does it. (LRH ED 78 INT) 2. program to establish
and publicize the official org as the source of helpful standard
actions. (LRH ED 54 INT)
SUPER-LITERATE, I've coined a word, superliterate. This is what a
person who really Lows what he reads is. A real scholar. People are

SUPERVISOR, 1. a course must have a supervisor. He may or may not
be a graduate and experienced practitioner of the course he is
supervising but he must be a trained course supervisor. He is not
expected to teach. He is expected to get the students there, rolls
called, checkouts properly done, misunderstoods handled by finding
what the student doesn't dig and getting the student to dig it. The
supervisor who tells students answers is a waste of time and a
course destroyer as he enters out data into the scene even if
trained and actually especially if trained in the subject. The
supervisor is not an "instructor" that's why he's celled a
supervisor. (HCO PL 16 Mar 71R) 2. the supervisor is there to get
the course materials fully understood and applied by the student.

or which advocate suppression of mankind. (HCO PL 29 Jun 68)
SUPPRESSIVE PERSON, 1. next door to the "theetie-weetie" case is
the totally overwhelmed condition we call SP (suppressive person).
When a living being is out of his own valence and in the valence of
a thoroughly bad even if imaginary image you get an SP. An SP is a
no-confront case because, not being in his own valence he has no
viewpoint from which to erase anything. That is all an SP is. (HCO

no-case-gain, low OCA, bad ethics record, low production stats.
(HCO PL 28 May 72) 4. now any thetan wants out. Even the SP
himself, personally wants out. Only he, unfortunately, is sure that
you are simply trying to put him in. You see, he knows he belongs
in, and he is very described as somebody who is totally surrounded
by Martians, regardless of who you are..You see, he is stuck in an
incident which has personnel that have nothing to do with present
time. Yet, all that personnel is in present time and you are that
personnel, so that of course, you have to be held down. Therefore
he commits almost continuous crimes in an effort to hold people
down. A suppressive is in active attack on Scn. He commits overts
twenty four hours a day. (SH Spec 73, 6608C02) 5. it might interest
you how an SP comes About. He's already got enough overts to
deserve more motivators than you can shake a stick at. He has done
something to dish one and all in. He's been a bad boy. Now the
reason he got to be a bad boy was by switching valences. He had a
bad boy over there and he then, in some peculiar way, got into that
bad boy valence. Now he knows what he is - he's a bad boy. Man is
basically good but he
