CRIMSON NETWORK YIELDS HEATING PIPES TO NEW 40-WATT STATION

Students leaving Bertrand Russell's first lecture late yesterday afternoon were treated to a starting contrast in the form of a broadest of rather sour and antiquated dance music issuing from a loud-speaker stop President Conant's house. Investigation revealed that the brains behind the entertainment was 14-year old Ted Conant, son of the President and self-styled competitor of the Crimson Radio Network.

Assisted by his Quincy Street neighbor, Dave Blackmer, 13, young Conant has built up his station since last winter out of "strictly home-built equipment," and with yesterday's publicity stunt he inaugurated the fall series of programs for "Station HARV."

Power Output 40 Watts

Transmitting over the heating pipes as formerly did the CRIMSON Network, with a frequency of 880 kilocycles and a total power output of 40 watts HARV proposes to present "high-grade entertainment for Harvard, M. I. T. and Radcliffe audiences." It was pointed out that the station is not the newest in the vicinity: "We were on the air before the CRIMSON Network."

Ted premises a large variety for HARV's listeners, which will include broadcasts of Browne and Nichols football tussels, rebroadcasts of Germany's short-wave propagandist. Lord Haw-Haw, and of London news commentaries, and music from jam session to symphony.

Picks Up South America

Feature which he believes will be of especial appeal nowadays will be pick-ups of WRUL, an international short ware station devoted to "culture and good will among nations," and of HCJB for "Heralding Christ Jesus's Blessings," a pioneer religious short wave station in South America.

We've had technical difficulties, to say the Irate, admitted the youthful entrepreneur of the other. "But," he added slyly. "If memory serves me right, so has the CRIMSON Network."
