PAGS FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, JULY 17, 15 i I - _ WILLOW RUN EXPERTS: U.S. Weathermen Agree: It's Hot * *a X * * * By BERNIE BERMAN So you think it's hot? Atop the tower at Willow Run Airport, the weathermen have forecasted still hotter weather with temperatures in the mid- ninties for today. To the accompanying roar of the 'airplanes a team of five men operate a U.S. Commerce Depart- ment weather observation station. They are not responsible for the weather in the Ypsilanti-Ann Ar- bor area, only for predicting it. Airlines make extensive use of this service in planning and checking flights: * * * HOURLY around the clock, the weathernien check their gadgets, charts, and instruments and make reports of barometric pressure, temperature, wind direction, state of the sky-whether cloudy or not, rainfall, and humidity. These re- ports are sent all over the coun- try via their teletype network. Maps showing atmospheric conditions are sent out from the Washington headquarters by radio-photo. From these are lo- cated high and low pressure areas and the resulting fronts which bring the weather. ,According to Francis J. Pott, meteorologist at Willow Run, weather prediction is not too dif- ficult once you become familiar with the maps and their meanings. * * * HE ALSO said that amateur forecasters can often tell of chang- ing weather by a rising or falling barometer, but that a lot more in- struments are needed to get full coverage. , However, there are a lot of phoney forecasters like almanacs which Just take average mean temperatures for a month and by varying them a little get fair results, Pott said. According to latest statistics, the U. S. Commerce Department re- ports 87% accuracy. -Daily-Chuck Ritz FRANCIS L. POTT, WILLOW RUN METEOROLOGIST, PINS -UP THE LATEST WEATHER MAPS FROM WASHINGTON * # *+ FOR A WHILE the staff thought they would have to pack their bags and leave Willow Run be- cause the Commerce Department's budget as first presented called for the closing of the station. How- ever, appeals by state Congress- men restored funds for its oper- ation in the next fiscal year. The only other station in the area is at Detroit City Airport. In any case, the old adage that "we shall have weather, whether or not" still holds.. Two Hundred To Gather At SeecConference Relations Job Given To Shorn Appointment of James D. Shortt as assistant to the director of Uni- versity relations at the University' was announced by President Har- lan Hatcher yesterday. . Shortt, who holds a bachelor'sy degree from Oberlin College and a master's degree from the Uni- versity, has been working on a doctorate here for the past two years and has also been a resident adviser at Cooley House in East, Quadrangle. He is a native of War- ren, Pa., and attended high school there. * * * ARTHUR L. BRANDON, direc- tor of University relations, said Shortt's chief functions at first will be to assist in the general management of non-educational conferences on the campus and to serve as liaison officer and busi- ness consultant for traveling stu- dent organizations such as the Michigan bands, glee club and the Union Opera. , Brandon pointed out that the new office for conferences will in no way conflict with the In- stitutes Department of the Ex- tension Service which has res- ponsibility for educational con- ferences. Noting that 'the Uni- versity is to be host or co-host to an increasing number of stu- dent groups or non-educational conferences, such as the Nation- al Junior Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, the state Ki- wanis meeting and the United States Assembly of Youth in the next few weeks, Brandon said, "Mr. Shortt will be able to co- ordinate for campus guests a large number of University and Ann Arbor services." The assignment of assisting stu- dent traveling organizations has become necessary for two reasons, Brandon explained. First, he said is because of the recent advance- ment of Walter B. Rea to the po- sition of dean of men. "Dean Rea for many years has been aiding the touring groups, but he now feels, to our regret, he cannot give time to that work," Brandon said. The second reason is that the booking of the student traveling groups is requiring considerable advance work and promotion, be- cause of the costs to local groups of putting on programs. "In the past, the University has not had personnel for this work and Mr. Shortt's appointment provides this much-needed ser- vice," Brandon pointed out. Cinema Guild Continues Film "Arsenic and Old Lace" star- ring Cary Grant and Josephine Hull will continue its run at '7 and 9 p.m. today at the SL Cine- ma Guild, Architecture Auditor- ium. Accompanying the Frank Capra farce comedy will be Walt Disney's "Seal Island." "The Lavender Hill Mob" wit Alec Guiness will run at 6:30, 8 and 9:3,0 p.m. tomorrow and at 8 p.m. only Sunday. PICK UP POINTERS: Teachers Learn New Methods at Conference By JO DECKER More than 1,000 educators and administrators are gathering in University High School all during this week for the Summer Educa- tion Conference, to hear of new methods in choosing curriculum and teaching. While walking through the dim halls of the school which are pack- ed with display tables set up by publishing companies, the educa- tors select new equipment for their classes and converse about such topics as problem children in their schools and new library sys- tems. * * * VARIED INTERESTS bring the group together. "I am particularly interested in curriculum plan- ning." o n e counsellor-English teacher remarked. "We are taking courses in ed- ucation this summer and this particular lecture was in con- junction with our special in- teres ," two nuns commented. "It is certainly nice to see you, again, John. That is the chief reason I attended this confer- ence," a man was heard saying. * * * "SUPERINTENDENTS feel they must keep up on the newest me- thods, students in undergrad school are required to attend cer- tain meetings, and teachers "al- ways pick up a few good pointers" during the-conference. Those who attended the con- ference will be able to pass along the idea of the importance of adjusting curriculum and teach- ing methods to the individual variations. They should be bet- ter suited to deal with children with speech defects, and primed to urge their students to read beneficial books. Yesterday's session was high- lighted by a speech by Mrs. Fran- ces Sayers, retired head of the Children's Department of the New York Public Library. Mrs. Sayers charged that, "Reading, which is truly an art, has fallen into the clutches of the scientific measur- ers, who go over the field of chil- dren's literature like earthworms." MRS. SAYERS criticized teach- ers and librarians who go over the texts of children's books and fre- quently cross out words-presum- ably to simplify the material. She claimed that "there is a great deal to be said for not knowing all the words." Summing up her speech on "The Keener Edge," she said, "I would like to see teachers and li- brarians reading with the keener edge of enjoyment, the keener sense of adventure, the keener ob- ligation of sharing that literary pleasure with the children." Concluding the 24th annual Summer Education Conference will be two programs this morn- ing. Prof. John U. Michaelis of the University of California will speak on "Developing Democratic Behavior through the Elementary Curriculum" at 10 a.m. in Schor- ling Auditorium. A panel discus- sion led by Prof. Robert S. Fox, principal of the University Ele- mentary School, will follow. r """" Pres. Peron Lets Political Prisoners Go BUENOS AIRES, Argentina-(') -A member of President! Juan Peron's government sai$ yester- day all political prisoners arrested in Argentina in the past three months have been released with the exception of 66 members of the opposition Radical party. Angel Borlenghi, the Interior Minister, told a news conference that all parties but the Radical had made peace with Peron and could engage in political activities with few limitations. * * * THE RADICALS make up the only important organized opposi- tion party in Argentina. Their membeit were among the several hundred persons arrested on charges of attempting to terrorize the Peron administration with bomb explosions and other vio- lence in March, April and May.

A local funeral home has al- ready added a resuscitator to its regular ambulance service as part of a citizen's and hospital offi- cials' attempt to have an activated machine at the county's service. Scattered groups of Ann Arbor- ites are joining in fund drives to speed up purchase of a machine after the board delay. The newest machine will be made available to the Sheriff's department for county use, ac- cording to the owner. The super- visors' delay in action on resus- citator purchase was not the rea- son for the funeral home pur- chase however, according to the owner. County and city attention to the need for more and operating re- suscitators was brought to a head recently when an Ann Arbor citi- zen reported that a drowning vic- tim may have been saved had the county owned machine been in operation. the topic "Resolved : That the President of the United States Should Be Elected by Direct Vote of the People."
