...college papers without waiting until the middle of the Sophomore year. We invite all Freshmen, whether they have previously been accustomed to writing or not, to try for this position. As for '81, there does not seem to be any need for us to remind Sophomores that five editors of the Crimson are to be chosen from their class at the middle of the year.
