Members of the two lower classes may enroll in the news competition, in which familiarity with some phase of College activity, though valuable, is of secondary importance to a good determination and a willingness to search for news.

In addition to this, as a measure for growth, a particular search is made then for extra men, especially for those willing to undertake new courses.
