CRIMSON ISSUES LAST CALL TO 1930 AND 1931

Sophomores and Juniors will have their last chance to compete for the CRIMSON when four competitions are started with an initial meeting of candidates next Monday evening at 7 o'clock at 14 Plympton Street Members of the Class of 1931 are eligible to try for the News. Business and Photographic Departments, while 1930 men are summoned for the Editorial Department.

The mid-winter competition is the shortest of the three-competitions open to each class, and is of less than nine weeks duration. It is broken into two periods by the Christmas holiday which considerably alleviates its strain. It culminates shortly after the examination period, during which time the work of candidates is considerably curtailed in order that the competition might interfere as little as possible with the grades of the competing men.

Competition Fills Boards

The quota of men taken into the respective departments is rounded out by the results of this trial. The largest number of men will be taken on in the News and Business Departments, although there are several vacancies on the Photographic Board.

In the News Department men compete for the highest point average, one half point an inch being given for "assignments" and one point an inch for "scoops" or stories which candidates get on their own initiative. Men interested in Special University organizations may petition to cover these activities or sports, for example, the debating team or hockey. Every effort has been made to eliminate superfluous office routine and make the competition interesting.

Procuring of advertisements and filming various phases of University activity constitute the work connected with the Business and Photographic Departments. Editorial and writers write one editorial a day on any matter of current interest to the University.
