for a suitable room which will accommodate the student body. It is uot 

 fair to the students to assess them for this purpose and then be obliged 

 to hold the entertainment in a place like the engineering lecture room 

 where only about 300 can be accommodated. In our judgment, it would 

 be wise to discontinue this plan until such time as suitable accommoda- 

 tions can be provided.

IlEPOKT OF MICHIGAN WEATHER SERVICE. 



The policy of operation and administration of the Michigan Weather 

 Sei'vice has continue<l as in former years. 



Owing to the prevalent condition of lack of man power it has at times 

 been very difficult to keep wy^ all of tlie voluntary observation work 

 throughout the State. 



For the same reason the distribution of the daily forecasts through 

 cooperation with the various telephone c()ni])anies of the State has been 

 somewhat abridged. Teleplione wires and telephone employees are gen- 

 erally working at peak loads most of tlie time. For tlie ])ast few years 

 tlie numl)er of telephone employees lias not greatly increased, and tele- 

 phone equipment has not been amplified. On the other hand the amount 

 of business has greatly increased and it is quite natural that free fore- 

 cast distribution suffered under these conditions.
