EXTRA COMPENSATION FOR PROFESSOR U. H. SMITH (18) A recommendation that Professor L. H. Smith be allowed $1000 for his services as Acting Head of the Department of Agronomy during the past two years; this to be charged to the appropriation for the department.

On motion of Mr. Hoit, this recommendation was approved.

HOUSING OF STUDENTS The following statement: We had considerable difficulty in rinding places for our stud entsto live last fall without going farther away from the campus than many of the students wished to do. An increase in attendance next September will make the difficulties greater. I have had a canvass of the two towns made through Deans Clark and Mason, and they report to me that they have in sight places for about 7500 students from out of town. The scarcity of rooms has led some landlords and landladies to take advantage of the situation to increase their rates and to overcrowd their rooms. If students insist on crowding together in the neighborhood of the campus instead of taking rooms at a distance of a mile or more away, if necessary, we can do little to check the action of those who have rooms to rent. Objections on our part have been met with the reply that the rates demanded are readily granted by those who are looking for rooms. The whole matter was put before the Rotary Club of Champaign and the Chamber of Commerce of Urbana. The Rotary Club appointed a committee to investigate the matter of rent profiteering and the possibilities of securing more accomodations. They are at present conducting a canvass of west Champaign for that purpose. Whether our fellow citizens will be able to accomplish much in the way of finding more accommodations and getting reasonable rates is questionable. It may be necessary to take some measures of our own. (19)
