WHRV and 'Cliffe Station Go Back On Air This Week

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

After a quiet summer at 110 volts, local electric wires will carry something extra again on Monday as the Harvard Radio Network begins its fall schedule. The denizens of Dudley Hall's basement have prepared the most ambitious job in WHRV's history.

Classical music is still the bulwark of the Network's programming with three hours of the masters docketed for each weekday evening. To round out the musical offerings, shows featuring folk music and "progressive" jazz are planned.

For those who like their jazz pure, an airing of Bob Wilbur's New Orlcans artists direct from their den in Boston's Club Savey will be a weekly feature.

As for hours of broadcasting, the Network hits the airways at an eager 8 a.m. with an hour and a half offering called Reveille in Swingtime. Weekday evening broadcasts, from seven o'clock to midnight, a Saturday afternoon cocktail matinee, and a Sunday evening concert from 8 to 11 fill out the hours.

Reading period witnesses the appearance of the orgies, the time when Networkers successively play hours of Beethoven, Brahms, Gilbert, and Sullivan, hillbilly songs, and jazz until the drop exhausted on the eve of examination period.

The Armchair Audit, a show which presents some of the most popular and learned lectures by various eminent professors, continues as an integral part of WHRV cultural pattern.

Over in the Annex Quadrangle, a small, throaty-voiced group of "Cliffe dwellers open the evening broadcasts of Radio Radcliffe at 7:29 1/2 Monday through Friday nights. RR depends mainly on platter shows for program content; swaps several broadcasts weekly with WHRV; works in two pocket-sized rooms in the 'Cliffe Rield House, and signs off nightly with "Pomp and Circumstances" at 10:501/2.
