ANNOUNCE COMPETITIONS FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS

In order to give prospective candidates ample opportunity to plan their work for next year, the CRIMSON is publishing below its 1922-1923 schedule of competitions for the News, Photographic, Editorial, and Business Departments. The Editorial board will hold only two competitions during the year, but the News and Photographic departments will have three, and there will be four business competitions. None of these competitions will be more than 12 weeks in length. In all cases, the dates given below for the competitions are subject to slight change.

The News and Photographic Departments will start their first competition, open only to Sophomores, on Thursday, September 28. This competition will last until Wednesday, December 21. The second competition--the last one open to Sophomores and the first open to Freshmen--will overlap the first, beginning on Thursday, December 7, and ending Thursday, March 8. The last news and photographic competitions will be open only to Freshmen and will be from Thursday, March 1, to Friday, May 25.

Must Gather News of University

The candidates for the News Department will be expected to gather and write up in suitable form all news pertaining to the University, and in addition to obtain interviews and special articles from prominent men, both on college and on outside subjects. They will also have a chance to learn in an indirect way something of the mechanical end of publishing a newspaper--that is, proofreading, linotyping, make-up and press work. No previous journalistic training on preparatory or high school publications is necessary.

In the photographic competition election is based on the number of pictures published in the fortnightly pictorial and on the work done in the dark room. Men must supply their own cameras, but complete developing and printing equipment is available for use in the Crimson Building.

Only Juniors will be eligible to compete for the Editorial Board. This department will hold two competitions: the first from Thursday, September 28, to Tuesday, January 9; the second from approximately Monday, Februarys 12, immediately after the mid-year examinations, until Monday, May 8. A feature of the work will be frequent editorial conferences with prominent Boston newspaper men.

In addition to the Freshman business competition which has already begun and which will terminate next fall, there will be two competitions open to members of the class of 1925, and two open to the class of 1926, the last of which will lap over the summer vacation.
