Rink Report Made

Provisions lor the construction
and operation of a student ice
skating rink were submitted to
All-College Cabinet in a report
presented at a meeting of the
group Thursday evening.
Prepared by Robert Fast, who
is acting as a one-man committee
of investigation for' the project,
the report recommended:
1. The rink be constructed and
maintained by the department of
physical plant on the practice
football field.
2. Four hundred dollars be pro
vided by the College to cover con
struction and maintenance costs.
3. No charge be made for the
use of the rink by students.
4. Other provisions, including
policing of the rink and a skatirtg
schedule, be decided upon at a
later date.
Cabinet accepted the report as
complete but did not act upon it.
Fast said that the administra
tion, the School of Physical Edu
cation, and the department of
physical plant are sympathetic
with the general plan.
Efforts made last year to pro
vide skating facilities for the stu

rupted plans and a suitable layer
of ice never was obtained.
There must be frost in the
ground, Fast explained, in order
t'o keep the water above ground
level. Also, two or three flood
ings are needed to obtain a: satis
factory skating surface.
“Prenarations for the flooding
of the field,” Fast added, “prob
ably will be made during ■ the
Christmas vacation since the best
skating weather comes in Jan
uary. Of course, the success of the
program depends to a large,ex
tent on the type of weather we
get.”
Campus ice-skating reached its
greatest degree of success in re
cent years in 1938, when. a long
stietch of cold , weather gave stu
dents 31 days of skating. The rink
then was located on the tennis
courts opposite Jordan Hall.
