Competitions for the Crimson's news, business, editorial, and photographic boards open at 7:30 p.m. Monday. All sophomores and juniors interested in joining the newspaper's staff will be welcomed at 14 Plympton Street. The first competition for freshmen will be held after the November hour exam period when the Class of '55 has become settled at College and has had a chance to familiarize itself with the University scene. The present competition will last for eight weeks with the emphasis on the quality of work produced by the candidates. Men entering the competition should be able to keep up with their studies without too much difficulty.
