While there will be only one file per student, Lacey said the task force is looking for a secur ity system to keep unnecessary or confidential information from certain departments’ files. However, it has not been de cided how much information each department will be able to see in the student’s file, he said. Lacey said they are looking for a system where information can be keyed to an individual terminal only. All three of the companies offer canned programs — prog rams with certain limited func tions — but Texas A&M needs functions in addition to those in the canned programs. These special functions will have to be written in a special program. “A&M has certain unique things it wants written in,” Lacey said.
