opportunity for men, whom may
be interested in any division of
newspaper management, to gain
practical experience," T. Hollister

The Daily said yesterday in issuing
. call for tryouts for the staff.
'Experience g a in e d through

The entire
business organ-
ization is divid-
Mabley ed into seven
lepartments: accounts, circulation,
ontracts, foreign advertising, lo-
:al adverising, publications, and
ervice. In charge of these depart-
nents are members of the junior
lass who are under the supervi-
ion and guidance of the business
manager and the assistant busi-
ness manager.
Advertising is handled by four
lepartments. The contracts de-
artment is in charge of the sell-
ng of local advertising, thereby
fiering valuable experience to
nyone interested in the fields of
elling, sales promotion, contracts,
nd specialty selling work.
The service department affords
ne the opportunity of expressing
iriginality in advertisement writ-
ng and the use of cuts and mat-
'ixes for the layout of advrtise-
nents.
The local advertising depart-
nent collects the advertising copy
rom merchants and other sources,
ubmits it, if necessary, to the serv-
ce department for writing.
The foreign advertising depart-
ment, in cooperation with several
advertising agencies, solicits ad-
rertising from national advertisers
and conducts research campaigns
or them.
The circulation department has

I IN PRESNT A
TE editori department o The
Daily is the mest vital student
Iorganization ina the life of ths Uint-
versity and the expe::ie'2 which it
offers, an opportunity now open to
freshmen, is ce of the mnesa valh-
able assets a te ent eon gem
while atteudini the Uniersity. It
is an experience f tte'l not alone for
prospective new par men but
useful as a preparati:n for a large
number of professions and busi-
nesses.
There is afforded, of course, the'
practical training in journalism, in
assuming responsibility, and the
thrill of mixing in campus activi-
ties. More than this, however, a'
reporter on The Daily acquires an
invaluable insight into the opera-
tion of newspapers, upon which
the world relies for its information,
an acquaintance with the func-
tioning of the University which a
student can in no other way obtain,
and a knowledge of the methods
of appealing to the public, which
is basic in many professions-pub-
licity, salesmanship, advertising,
contact work, and the like.
Responsibilities Large.
Work on The Daily, when coupled
with the academic training in the
classiotjn, gives the well-rounded
combination of the theoretical and,
the practical that is widely held a's l
the best preparation for most bus-*
inesses and for life in general.
Responsibilities on the editorial
department of The Daily are largera
and of more vital concern to the
University community than on an
other organization. The Daily stancs
between the various campus organ-
izations and the students. It is the
means whereby these groups com-
municate with the students and the
success of the functions of these
societies depends largely upon The
Daily. A similar position is occupied
by The Daily in the relations of
the University administration and
the student body. It brings to the
student the policies of the Uni-
versity and reflects student opinion
in an endeavor to solve the Uni-
versity problems dealing with stu-
de ts. The Daily, thus, is all im-
per Lant in the operation of the
University, and its workers are con-
seantly in contace with campus
leaders, University officials and pro-
lessora, in a more 0or less business-
like relationship. These contacts
