The University's Office of Student Placement yesterday released the following statement on Revised Armed Forces Enlistments and Commissions Policy and Selective Service Procedure:
The various policies outlined below are, of course, subject to change daily. However, they represent current regulations regarding the various opportunities in the Services.
Selective Service
Step 1--Under the Selective Service Act of 1948 as well as the new law which will replace the present one on or before 9 July 1951, all males between the ages of 18 and 26 must register with their local draft boards. This may be accomplished at any draft, board but jurisdiction for administration of each case rests with the local board in the community in which the individual maintains his legal residence. Registrations may be made at Cambridge Local Board 17, Phillips Brooks House.
Step 2--Some time after registration a questionnaire will be mailed to each registrant. This must be completed and returned to the local board immediately. On the basis of the information in the questionnaire each registrant will be classified according to the following schedule:
I-A: Available for military service.
I-A-O: Conscientious objector available for non-combatant service only.
I-C: Member of the Armed Forces of the United States, the Coast and Geodetic Survey or the Public Health Service, and certain registrants separated there-from.
I-D: Member of Reserve component or student taking military training.
II-A: Deferred because of civilian employment (except agriculture.)
II-C: Deferred because of employment in agriculture.
III-A: Deferred because of dependents.
