For the first time the doors of the CRIMSON will be thrown open to the class of 1933 next Wednesday when a meeting will be held for all Freshman aspirants in the President's office of the CRIMSON building at, 14 Plympton Street.
The class of 1933 will have the opportunity to compete for the News, Photographic, and Business departments in one of the most interesting competitions offered in any branch of the college. In addition, the Sophomores are to have their first opportunity to compete for the Editorial Department.
News Training has Variety
During the first days of the News competition, the work will be light, an effort being made to introduce the new men to the fundamentals of news writing and reporting. In this way, candidates are given an opportunity to acclimate themselves to the new surroundings and requirements before the strenuous-work begins. Permanent assignments are given to each candidate to cover, and he is responsible for getting any news from these set sources every day. These include such places as the Business School, the H. A. A., and covering the various sports and undergraduate activities.
In addition to this, candidates gather other news on their own initiative, and these "scoops" not only provide most of the interest in the work for the reporter, but they also count the most toward his credit.
Business candidates, soliciting advertisements, work under the same system of assignments as the new candidates. Their work is extensive and practical, and offers opportunity to become acquainted with every type of business man.
Editorial Competition
No previous experience in photography is necessary for any man who wishes to compete for the Photographic Department. Cameras and supplies are furnished by the CRIMSON, and the candidates take pictures of the undergraduate activities, sports, and so forth.
The editorial candidates have daily training in writing editorials on any interesting current topic, and of expressing their own ideas on the subject. This competition is open to Sophomores only, and is the first opportunity that the class of 1932 has had to vie for places on the Editorial Board,.
