Freshmen Urged To
Write For C-I Issue
There is an opportunity waiting
for you, C-I’s, at the very first of
the forthcoming semester — an op
portunity for you to show your
interest in and flare for newspaper
writing and management. The
February 11 edition is all yours!
If you are the “bloodhound”
type—if you have a “nose for
news,” and a love for journalism
that will not fade when it comes to
burning midnight oil, then here is
your chance to lay a foundation
for anticipations of the future,
and an opportunity to discover the
real thrill of journalism.
Get in on the machinery behind
the front page. Help put a news
paper together. Experience the
familiar, but ever new excitement
of “last minute” doings — the
thousand and one little details that
must be completed before the
paper goes to press. Enjoy the
inexplicable joy of seeing the fin
ished masterpiece circulated to all
its readers.
Come down to The Hilltop of
fice, room 13 in Spilman Annex.
Look around, get acquainted with
the surroundings.
Look for an early announcement
of a meeting to elect C-I editors
and advertising and circulation
managers. The rest is up to you.
Last year’s C-I edition proved to
be one of the best of the year!
