Competitions for all four of the Red Book committees will start this evening at 7 o'clock with a meeting of all candidates in Smith Halls Common Room. These are the last competitions open to the Freshman class and a large crowd is hoped for and expected. The Red Book is the only book brought out during a Freshman year and is the permanent record of its literary, athletic, and musical activities.
Three Competitions End April 18
The appointment of Lincoln Chadbourne Denton as sub-chairman of the Arts and Cuts Committee was announced yesterday. He is from Houghton, Mich., and prepared at Browne and Nichols. One more subchairman will be elected to the Arts and Cuts board within two weeks after the competition starts. It will be over on April 18, as will be those in the Editorial and Photographic divisions. The Business competition, however, will last until April 28.
Requirements and methods will be explained to the candidates at the meeting this evening. Editorial candidates will be assigned subjects and there will be a cut at the end of the week. At the end of two weeks one sub-chairman will be elected and another after three weeks. At the end of the competition twelve committee members will be chosen. One of these will be the class poet. One of these will be the class poet. One poem in the form of a Prologue and an Epilogue will be put in the Red Book and whoever submits the best poem will win a place on the committee. Editorial candidates will have to write of class activities. Previous experience is valuable but not necessary.
Business candidates will be responsible for getting advertisements and subscriptions, and will have to sell the book during the Jubilee. They will be divided into two groups, one to procure advertisements and the other subscriptions, and no cut will be made for the first two weeks. At that time a subchairman will be elected, and one more will be picked after another week.
Photographic aspirants will be expected to take pictures of class activities and buildings and places of interest connected with the college and to secure informal snaps of prominent men and activities. The other field of endeavor will be to see that all members of the class and all class organizations have their pictures taken at Notman's A sub-chairman will be appointed at the beginning of the competition and another will be elected after two weeks. Five committee men will be chosen to help them. Candidates will be paid for all pictures accepted.
It is in the Arts and Cuts competition that talent will be at the highest premium. Some 30 headings for departments will be required and men with imagination as well as drawing ability will stand the best chance of being accepted. Cartoons will not be allowed this year and technical ability will not be indispensable.
