'Service News' Will Become Semi-Weekly Starting July; 7

Crimson to Publish Service Paper Only

As Harvard becomes almost exclusively the home of servicemen, the Harvard Crimson will follow the University into uniform by discontinuing publication under that name and by putting out two copies of the SERVICE NEWS a week, with the undergraduates included on the same basis as other schools.

The new printing schedule will go into effect on July 1, when the Army and Navy Specialized Training Programs start, and will continue until the Harvard population regains its pre-Pearl Harbor make-up.

In place of the board of editors of the Crimson, which has controlled the policies of the Crimson and SERVICE NEWS as well as writing and editing the former and editing the latter, there has been established a Graduate Board which is in charge of the new SERVICE NEWS.

This group consists of David M. Little, Secretary to the University and a former president of the Crimson; Donald T. Field, Boston lawyer and former Crimson executive; Thomas S. Kuhn, physics research worker and former editorial chairman; and Mrs. Auna S. Hoke, permanent secretary.

While the Graduate Board will have all the powers now in the hands of the executive board and the full board, the actual mechanics of putting out the papers will be performed by a SERVICE NEWS board, which will consist at first of members of the current Crimson board, with Robert S. Landan continuing as editor. Mrs. Hoke will be in charge of business affairs, with the title of manager.
