Setting its sights on world-wide student support and participation, Harvard's chapter of the United Nations Council recorded last night the first two of a series of four broadcasts over WRUL, Boston's short-wave radio station.

Designed to acquaint European listeners with the functions, powers, and potentialities of the United Nations organization and with the activities of its student supporters, these broadcasts will be beamed throughout the world sometime next week as part of WRUL's educational program.

Connery '50, vice-chairman; Robert S. Warshaw '46; and David S. Stern '39 3L. Thomson C. McGowan '48, chairman of the Council's Radio Committee, served as moderator.

These programs will be rebroadcast over a national ABC hookup on consecutive Saturday afternoons, beginning sometime this summer. They have been simply written and read at an especially slow rate for the benefit of the foreign audience.
