CRIMSON INVITES NEW COMPETITORS TOMORROW NIGHT

Candidates will be drawn from three classes in the College when the CRIMSON opens its winter competitions with a meeting in the Crimson Building, 14 Plympton Street, at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.

Members of the Class of 1930 will have their final opportunity to compete for positions on the News and Photographic Boards, and the Editorial Department will receive aspirants from the Junior Class for the last time. Freshmen will be initiated into the competitive system of the CRIMSON in the test opened by the Business Department for the Classes of 1930 and 1931.

All competitions will be of nine weeks' duration. Uncovering the news of each day, and writing news stories under careful supervision constitute the duties of the candidates for the News Department. For the first week the aspirants work under the immediate direction and advice of the editors, covering assigned stories. At the end of this period, although a few regular assignments are maintained, candidates are expected to supply, on their own initiative, the daily quota of news.

The soliciting of advertising is the chief criterion of credit in the Business Department. Performance of certain routine duties and office work, and the sale of subscriptions also enter into the duties of a Business candidate.

The Photographic Department offers a thorough training in the mechanics of newspaper photography. Cameras are provided by the editors, and candidates are instructed in the details of picture-taking, developing, and printing. Specific pictures are assigned for each candidate to secure, and each aspirant is expected to procure, other photographs of the University and its activities on his own account.

A nominal requirement of one editorial submitted each day is the basis of competition in the Editorial Department. Candidates are expected to keep in close touch with affairs of the day, outside of the University as well as within its walls, and to submit contributions embracing a wide field of interest.
