For the benefit of Faculty Members who now for the first
“time have V-12 trainees in their classes we are repeating the
following recommendations and suggestions that have appeared on
the sick bay reports from time to time.

All cases of crib»ving or “gouging among V-le trainees
should be reported to this office. Please follow this procedure
rather than report such cases to the V-le Officers.

Since an unexcused absence results in duty on the awkward
squad, it is very important that an accurate record be maintained
of the class attendance of all V-12 trainees. One suggestion
that has proved successful is that of writing on the blackboard
the name of any student who is absent when the roll is called.

If the trainee does not appear to challenge his name written on
the board, then it muy be assumed that he was absent and not
merely tardy.

The Navy requests that all instructors with V-l2e students
in their classes send in the orange absence report cards each
week. If there have been no absences among V-12 trainees,
indicate that fact on the card. Supplies of these cards may
be obtained by calling K U 40.

It has been brought to my attention by Lt. Michelman
that some instructors have been writing to the Bureau of Naval
Personnel concerning the Y-12 Program. I have been requested
to pass along the information that correspondence to Naval
authorities relative to the V-12 Program must be transmitted
via the Comaanding Officer of this Unit.

Faeh V-12 trainee carries a demerit chit and in case he
is disobedient or discourteous the instructor may ask him for
this card, write in the offense, and send it to Lt. Fitzhugh.

It has come to our attention that a few V-le trainees
are resorting to certain old tricks and subterfuges in order
to be excused from class. Some of the outworn excuses being
offered are that the student must go down town to have his
picture taken, must attend his granduoth.r's funeral, ete.
Please do not give any V-12 student permission to leave class
for such purposes unless he has a written chit signed by
Lt. Michelman or Lt. Fitzhugh. Such procedure need not be
followed, of course, in case of iilness. Tf, in your opinion,
the trainec is ill, urge him to report to the sick bay at once.

le suggest that it would be well for instructors to use
ink when entering names on absence report cards. This wll
lessen the possivility of altcrations in the report between
the time it leaves the instructor's hands and reaches the Navy
Vele Office. :

: Any instructor who needs. blue cards for reporting
D and F grades may obtain thom by calling KU 40;

Please report any books with Navy V-12 stickers left un-
claimed in class rooms. Call K U 40 and some one from this
office will pick them up.

If you have V-12 trainecs in your classes, it wiil be of
grcat assistance to this office if you will write the name of
the author and the title of the textbook on the board at the
first mccting of the class. Bach V-12 trainee is given a book
requisition card which he fills in and prcscnts to this office
for his books and instruments. It helps in the issuing of the
supplics ifthe name of the author and the title of the text are

recorded accurately on the requisition card. Your cooperation
will be greatly appreciated.

Some V-12 trainecs still do not know the nancs of their
instructors. Thc studcnuts would appreciate it if the instructors
would in some way make known their namcs.
