A general membership meet and final briefing of the six candidates for tomorrow night’s initiation will be held at noon, Copy Reading room, today. Much important. Only five freshman essayists remain in contention for the cash awards in the English department —Phi Eta Sigma writing contest, Harry B. Reed, instructor in English, said Friday. Final decision in the competition is up to a board of three judges. The board includes Dr. Lionel Stevenson, chairman of the English Department; Dr. Madeline Blackmore, lecturer in general studies; and Harvey Zuckman, Phi Eta Sigma co-chairman of the contest. Final Judging The final judging will take place today, and the decision will be announced in all freshman English classes throughout the week. The “pot of gold” for which more than 200 essayists sought includes a first prize of $35 and a second prize of $15. Names of the remaining entrants will be known to no one including the judges until after the .final judging is completed because contestants used pseudonyms in signing their work. The real names of the contestants with their pseudonyms are under lock and key. The use of false names was used in the contest to rule out the possibility of personality judgment. Contest Sponsor The contest, which had as its general theme “The Student’s Job in Education,” was sponsored by Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman scholastic fraternity, and the English department to promote greater interest in the educational process among freshman students. To make the essay evaluations as fair as possible, judging was done on three levels. On the first level all freshman English instructors helped in selecting the best entries.

A general membership meet and final briefing of the six candidates for tomorrow night’s initiation will be held at noon, Copy Reading room, today. Much important. Only five freshman essayists remain in contention for the cash awards in the English department —Phi Eta Sigma writing contest, Harry B. Reed, instructor in English, said Friday. Final decision in the competition is up to a board of three judges. The board includes Dr. Lionel Stevenson, chairman of the English Department; Dr. Madeline Blackmore, lecturer in general studies; and Harvey Zuckman, Phi Eta Sigma co-chairman of the contest. Final Judging The final judging will take place today, and the decision will be announced in all freshman English classes throughout the week. The “pot of gold” for which more than 200 essayists sought includes a first prize of $35 and a second prize of $15. Names of the remaining entrants will be known to no one including the judges until after the .final judging is completed because contestants used pseudonyms in signing their work. The real names of the contestants with their pseudonyms are under lock and key. The use of false names was used in the contest to rule out the possibility of personality judgment. Contest Sponsor The contest, which had as its general theme “The Student’s Job in Education,” was sponsored by Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman scholastic fraternity, and the English department to promote greater interest in the educational process among freshman students. To make the essay evaluations as fair as possible, judging was done on three levels. On the first level all freshman English instructors helped in selecting the best entries.
