disciplinary action if they do not
report to Professor Robert Gal
braith’s office for supplementary
questionnaires by 5 p.m. tomorrow
afternoon, according to a release
from the war service office here
on campus.
These questionnaires have been
available at the FAWS office for
several days, but few men have
filed answers to them. Since these
forms are due at Marine head
quarters on Thursday, it will be
necessary to have all enlistees con
tact Galbraith within the next 33
hours if they do not want their
names forwarded to Marine head
quarters.
Questions asked on the forms
pertain to all occupational and
military experience the reservist
has participated in during his high
school, and college days. The in
formation gained from answers to
these questions will be used in the
.selection of officer material.
In addition, the student enlistee
will give a resume of all extra
curricular activities engaged in for
the past few years. Finally, a
character reference must be ob
tained from ROTC department as
a final check on the enlistee’s
qualifications.
