SERVICE NEWS COMPETITIONS TO OPEN THIS EVENING AT 7:30

The door to fame, fortune, and free beer will open wide tonight at 7:30 o'clock to be candidates for the three boards of the SERVICE NEWS at the beautiful ivy-covered building on Plympton Street.

A burning fervor is all it takes to make a feared and respected slinger of the pen; the Friendly Editors will supply in concentrated lessons what you lack in experience. In Harvard's only course in journalistic style, all comers will learn how to be gentle, how to be sentimental, how to boost subtly a pet idea, and, last but not least, how to don the silver armor (which hangs freshly polished, semperparatus, behind the Managing Editor's desk) and ride roughshod over the tyrants of University Hall and drive the money changers from Lehman. They will be received in the dressing rooms of stars of the legitimate and illegitimate stages and interview the aspirants to fame that they may make or break with the stroke of a pen.

This organization distracted by rivers of six per cent beer and small talk that ranges from post war planning to post mortems on the current collapse of the Nazis, compose, rewrite, and assemble news stories up to that awful time known throughout the profession as the deadline. In order to join the select company of Hu Flung Huey, Michael Mullins, and others, candidates will go through a six week competition in which they must prepare to acquire the scent for news, follow the elusive vapor to its source, and report the results in readable prose.

Competitions for students in V-12 will begin Tuesday night, November 16, at 7:30 o'clock
