With its customary quietude and beer-sparked dignity, the SERVICE NEWS' summer competition was launched last Wednesday night as lore-loving Freshmen answered the challenge of 14 Plympton Street's wind-blown Crimson banner. New blood now flows in the veins of the University's war-serving bi-weekly.

To the score of would-be newspapermen, simple verities were explained--that the summer comp was to be streamlined and shortened; that the College is a very, very colorful place just waiting to be described to the expanding reading public; and that opportunity is knocking for the last time this term.

And there is a moral to this timely tale. For those whose interest in College activities was momentarily overcome Wednesday night by previous engagements, the welcome mat will be out Monday at 7:30 o'clock (1930, Navy time).
