NEW YORK TIMES SPONSORS CURRENT EVENTS CONTEST

Rules for the Current Events contest sponsored by the New York Times have been announced by the Dartmouth local council, which is in charge of the contest here. This is the first time that Dartmouth students have been given the opportunity to compete with 18 other colleges in news competition.

All undergraduates studying for a bachelor's degree, including those in professional schools who have not yet completed their work for the bachelor's degree, are eligible to take the local examination .which will be held at Dartmouth on March 26, 1927. However, the winners of one year are considered as disqualified from further competition.

A money prize of $250 and a bronze medal will be given to the student who obtains the highest mark in the local test. The winners of all the colleges will then compete on May 14 for an intercollegiate prize of $500.

The examination will be in four parts and consists of four types of questions. There will be questions requiring an answer of true or false. Then there is the identification type in which the competitor will have to identify each of a list of terms and state briefly their connection with current events. The third group will consist of questions to be answered very briefly and with facts, while the last part will require an essay on two of a list of topics. The examination will be on current events since May 1, 1926.
