Radio Radcliffe, Aided By M.I.T., Modernizes Set

Radio Radcliffe is now expanding both its technical facilities and programs to include many more "live" shows.

Roy Salaman, an MIT student, is modernizing the completely out-dated set by adding new lines to enable broadcasting from both 'Cliffe quadrangles, and is also developing a second channel that has never been used before. WRRB will then be able to transmit two broadcasts simultaneously, and will also gain new control of its sound hook-ups.

17 Hours Daily

As a result of its collaborating with MIT, Radio Radcliffe now broadcasts 17 hours a day. At present, while its set is being revised, it receives all its shows from Tech.

New programs in the next two weeks will feature the Dramatic Workshop, which writes and acts its own plays, and the Poet's Corner, on which May Sarton and Perry Miller have read their own poetry. The station has started a new series unique in college radio by asking the head of Boston's Swetzhoff Galleries to discuss art for students over the station.

Emma Merrill '56, newly elected technical manager, is assisting Salaman with the set revision. The station recently elected Aida Romanoff '54 president, Sandy Rosman '55, program director. Ruth Jacobs '54, production manager, and Marina Von Newman '56, business manager.
