Harvard Student Agencies is dedicated to helping Harvard students defray the rising (and
rising and rising) costs of a Harvard education, while providing these students with
practical business experience, and supplying valuable, necessary services to the Harvard
Community. Now, while this may sound well and good, how exactly does HSA go about
pursuing these ideals? HSA achieves this mission by presenting students with a myriad
of diverse opportunities that all lead to a single collective goal: to provide the highest
quality jobs available to Harvard students.
HSA consists of 11 different agencies each headed by a student manager. The agencies
include, HSA Computer Services, Harvard Graphic Design, Harvard Student Resources, Unofficial Publications,
Let’s Go Publishing, The Campus Store, HSA Cleaners, Harvard Distribution, The Center for Enterprise,
Let’s Go Ad Sales, and HSA Rentals. These agencies provide a plethora of services ranging from organizing a mini-MBA program for rising seniors, to designing posters for other student groups, to publishing the
world’s best-selling budget travel guide series. |

The Harvard Wireless Club, founded by a handful of wireless radio experimenters in 1909, is the oldest amateur radio club in the United States. Professor George Washington Pierce (Physics), one of the fathers of wireless communication, was the first president of the HWC. Over the past 90 years, the Harvard amateur radio station has been located at a number of different sites around campus. Since 1989, the club has operated from the second floor of 6 Linden Street, directly across from the BSC. Just look up on the roof -- we have all of those antennas! The Harvard Wireless Club is open to any member of the Harvard community including undergraduates, graduate students, faculty members, staff members and alumni. The annual dues are more than reasonable. We certainly welcome licensed amateur radio operators to our ranks, but those seeking a license are welcome too. First year students are *especially* welcome as we seek not only to turn out new ham operators but to keep the HWC flame burning well into a second century with a full complement of undergraduate officers and members. This year (1999) we celebrate our 90th anniversary by carrying out a special event operation (an on-the-air extravaganza) on the 2nd and 3rd of October. Join us as we attempt to make over 1,000 radio contacts in a 24 hour period! So if this sounds like your kind of thing and you would like to be part of the W1AF action, give us a call and leave a message at 876-4131. A club official will get back to you with information on how to join the HWC. And by all means, visit our web site for further information. Welcome to the wide world of amateur radio! 73 & 88.
