Final Plans Made For Ivy League's Broadcast System

Final announcement of the formation of an Ivy League radio network, with member stations at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania came yesterday from Princeton's station WPRU.

Reached last night, Gerald Y. Genn '48, president of the Harvard network, stated that the new group was organized primarily "for business purposes." The Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, from which all the Ivy League members have resigned, Genn continued, "wasn't getting enough national advertising to make joining worthwhile."

Membership Closed

Genn explained that the policies of the Ivy League Network, which will restrict membership to the present group for an "indefinite time," will rest with an executive board of ten members, two from each of the stations. The chairmanship will change hands each year, beginning with Dartmouth and continuing in alphabetical order. WHRV representatives will be Genn and Mark S. Carroll '50, special events director for the station.
