'Poon 'Cliffe Staff Started

The Lampoon will become the second major Harvard publication to recognize the 19th Amendment when it opens its tiled palace at 7:30 p.m. tonight to a Radcliffe competition for editorial and business boards.

Exactly how many girls will be elected to the staff has not yet been decided, according to 'Poon president John P. C. Train '50. "We'll take at least three or four," he commented last night, "if we can find that many with talents in our line."

The departure, first in the magazine's 73-year-old history, came as a surprise to both Harvard and Radcliffe students. Opinion across the Common tended to be favorable to the plan, most students viewing this increased tie with the College warmly.

Lampoon plans were announced almost exactly a year and a half after the CRIMSON took on its first Radcliffe correspondent, Joan McPartlin '49, who has since been joined by two other female writers.
