Radio Station, Dudley House Move Today

Both Dudley House and the Harvard Radio Broadcasting Co. will evacuate their residences on 16 Dunster St. tomorrow. Dudley moves to 1137 Cambridge St., site of the old Ambassador Hotel, while WHRB shifts to the basement of Claverly Hall.

Thomas E. Crooks '49, the new Master of Dudley House said that the change "had some advantages." These he gave as being a more convenient location, a better kitchen and grill, and more ample facilities including a large and small dining room, three common rooms, a snack bar, and a game room.

Move Has Advantages

However, Crooks pointed out that the House library and the offices of the master and the tutors will remain in Apley Court. The Adams House Kitchen will also continue to serve hot lunch to Dudleyites.

The commuter center was originally founded in 1935 by President Lowell to meet the needs of the commuter. Up until now, it had not changed from its position on Dunster St.

Only Temporary

Master Crooks said that he considered the Cambridge St. site as only temporary, but Crooks did not know where the permanent destination of Dudley House would be.

University officials have been considering Lehman Hall, now the Comptroller's office, as a possible location.

Officers of the WHRB were less enthusiastic about the impending innovation. Charles A. Murray "66, president of WHRB, foresaw "serious space limitations." The station, therefore, is currently conducting a $120,000 fund drive to enable them to find a better site, perhaps between Leverett and Quincy Houses.

The fund drive is still considerably short of its goal, and whether, or not WHRB will occupy its planned quarters above the Masters' garage, and buy the equipment it needs is uncertain.

WHRB was originally started in 1940 as a project by the CRIMSON and students in Lowell House. As it grew, the station moved from Shephard St. to Dunster St. in 1945.

Programming on WHRB will continue normally despite the change in address. It will sign off for the Christmas recess at 3 a.m. Sunday, December 31, and resume for reading period on January 6.
