News, Business, and Photographic competitions for all Freshmen, and the Editorial competition for Sophomores will open this evening with a meeting in the President's office of the Crimson building at 7.30 o'clock. All competitions, for which no experience is needed, will last for eight weeks.

The CRIMSON competitions which open tonight offer Freshmen their first opportunity to try out for an organization which affords a better training for whatever occupation the undergraduate may pursue after he leaves college than perhaps does any other activity at Harvard. The newsman, both as a candidate and as an editor, will come in contact with all manner of University officials. His CRIMSON representative card will provide an open sesame to the suite of any politician, statesman, or public figure that he cares to interview, and he will get a taste of the newspaper world himself by chasing down "tips", and learning the great art of making people talk.

In its Business Department, the CRIMSON competes with the Business School in teaching the most efficient business methods, as well as giving him experience in selling, ordering, and office work. Likewise the work done in the editorial competition for Sophomores is as good training in writing clearly and quickly as is offered by any course in a similar length of time.
