Competitions for three departments of the CRIMSON will begin on Tuesday evening, when candidates will assemble in the President's office of the Crimson Building at 7 o'clock. The competition for the Editorial Department will be open only to Juniors, while the ranks of the News and Photographic departments will be open to Sophomores. Owing to the fact that the Business Department has at present more advertising contracts than it can handle there will be no competition in that department starting at this time. It will only be postponed, however, and members of the class of 1928 will have will have an opportunity to compete for the Business Department late in October.

Valuable Training Offered

No better proof of the value of CRIMSON training could be offered than by citing the names of former editors. Joseph Clark Grew, T. W. Lamont, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ambassador Haughton, Melville E. Stone, William Roscoe Thayer, and Owen Wister are only examples of former CRIMSON editors who have succeeded after college. The training that is offered by any of the departments not only possesses all the advantages of any extra-curricular activity, but in the opportunity to interview prominent men, in the varied type of work involved, and in the contacts with every branch of college activity and life which are made possible, there is an opportunity which is not to be had elsewhere in Cambridge.

The editorial competition will consist largely of writing editorials every evening, on subjects of timely interest. College affairs are naturally treated at great length, but any event of fairly wide interest may find reflection in the editorial columns of the CRIMSON.

Celebrities May Be Interviewed

The news competition for Sophomores will last eleven weeks. Candidates will find their work in writing assigned stories and in finding "scoops", or stories which must be discovered by the candidate. There is a small amount of office work connected with the competition, interviewing prominent people will play a considerable part in the candidate's work, and candidates will also be allowed to work for the Bookshelf.

The photographic competition will be open to Sophomores and will last for the same length of time as the other two competitions. Candidates will take pictures of athletic and other events connected with college.
