COMPETITION FOR CRIMSON BOARDS OFFERED '36, '37

The Crimson will open competitions for the News, Business, Editorial and Photographic boards at a meeting in the President's office at 7.30 o'clock on Tuesday, April 10. The News, Business and Photographic Competitions will be open to Freshman and the Editorial competition will be open to Sophomores.

Candidates for the CRIMSON'S Business Board competition are offered an opportunity to learn the actual working of business affairs during the most exciting period of American economic history. The CRIMSON, like every other newspaper, is intimately connected with the commercial world through its business office.

Three Divisions

The Business Board functions in three subdivisions. The most important is advertising, including relations with companies who advertise their products throughout the country, and local advertising, which brings members of the Board into intimate connections with Harvard Square and Boston merchants. The purchasing division is concerned with buying the hundred-odd products and services which enter into the manufacture of a newspaper. The credit division supervises the CRIMSON accounts with its debtors and creditors, and is concerned with keeping these relations in a healthy business condition.

Candidates for the Business Board are thoroughly trained in all divisions. There is no better way for a college man to get the complete picture of an active business in all of its ramifications. The CRIMSON business is large enough to furnish conditions analogous to those in the commercial world, and small enough to be managed in all of its details by the undergraduate board.

Advertising Work But the main activity of business candidates is in the advertising division. Not only is this work of marketing a saleable product a practical training of great value for those who are looking forward to business as a career, but it is an experience in human relations unexcelled by any other college activity. The ad- vortising columns of the CRIMSON are patronized by sellers of widely different kinds of products and services. The business candidate visits banking offices, clothing merchants, night clubs, barber shops, theatres, dancing schools, department stores, sporting goods stores, pawn shops, and many others to whom the CRIMSON may be of assistance in market.
