A smoker for candidates for the literary and business departments of the Advocate will be held in the sanctum on the top floor of the Union tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock.

Professor W. A. Neilson '96 of the English department will speak, and the new president of the Advocate, R. N. Cram '17, will outline the policy and requirements of the paper. The Advocate is the oldest paper in the University and has just completed its one hundredth volume and its fiftieth year. W. H. Meeker '17, business manager, will explain the duties of the business candidates.

The smoker will mark the beginning of two competitions, a business competition, open only to Freshmen, and a literary competition. The literary competition will consist in writing contributions for the Advocate. Fiction, articles or verse will be equally acceptable. To become eligible for election a candidate must have published at least six contributions.

The Freshman business manager candidates will canvass for advertisements, solicit subscriptions, and perform certain clerical duties about the office.
