Wellesley Network To Train Career Lasses

Starting with a broadcast program of about 3 hours a week, Wellesley will inaugurate its own radio network, modeled after the Crimson network here. Work on the station, starting about March 20 or 25, will give many or the girls vocational training for future radio careers.

This will be the first independent girls' college system to be established. Other stations, such as that at Barnard, are affiliated with the men's station nearby. The Wellesley girls will run the whole network, which may later be endowed.

No advertising will be accepted on the program, which will be mainly given by the girls themselves. Much less emphasis will be placed on the faculty participation, for the idea of the project is to give the girls a chance to learn radio technique.

Members of the Crimson Network have given assistance in setting up the station and in forming general program procedure. Information about other networks already established has been supplied by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, with which both the Crimson Network and the embryonic Wellesley station are affiliated.
