CRIMSON TO OPEN BEER CLOSET TO NEW BATCH OF CANDIDATES

June Freshmen May Try for Any of the Four Boards

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Under an accelerated program, the CRIMSON will open its doors to members of the June Freshman Class, Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock, with a free beer party in its palatial offices at 14 Plympton Street.

In the past Freshmen have not entered a competition for the CRIMSON until November, but Freshmen are now eligible to try out for the News, Photographic, Business and Editorial Boards. Sophomores also are invited to come out for the Business Board and especially the Editorial Board.

Eight Week Competition

The competition will probably run for the usual eight weeks with plenty of time out to study for November hours. Men who have never had any experience at all doing news, business, editorial or photographic work should not be discouraged. Many of the present editors did not have any experience before they went out for the paper. The work of printing a collegiate daily paper is different enough from a prep school paper or a high school year book so that all candidates start on the same general level: merit and work are the determining factors.

Aside from the obvious advantages of belonging to "Cambridge's only breakfast table daily" there are other features which make the News Board competition valuable training as well as interesting work. The candidate will work around the building helping to put out the paper. He will learn the inside workings of University Hall, come to know deans and other officials intimately--not officially. He will meet many important and interesting members of the Faculty for interviews--as well as covering the big college news as a reporter.

Eds -- Self-Expression

Any man with a flair for expressing that particular chip on his shoulder should try out for the Editorial Board. Here he will not only write editorials on national and college topics, but will be able to indulge in Vag, the impersonal personification of every man's unborn desire; he will write Moviegoers and Playgoers, as well as many other interesting features of the Editorial Board.

The board which probably gives the most invaluable experience of all is the business Board. Here the candidate will learn all the best techniques of selling himself and his product to hard-boiled advertising managers.

One of the best darkrooms in the University awaits those who aspire to the Photographic Board.
