...BOARD: Competing for the News Board is the fastest, most efficient way to get an aerial view of the bright and dark sides of this wonderland which we call Harvard. It really helps put things into perspective. The News Board Comp also happens to develop skill and facility at writing the English language better than any Expository Writing section.

News editors write on topics ranging from national elections to Faculty intrigues to freshmen riots...
