Norman said that a consider able number of students have signed up to take part in the af fair. No exact figures were avail able, but Norman said students had signed up for all phases of the show, including costuming, lights, and choreography. Norman said he hoped that the Penn State Outing Club and TIM could work together on the ice show if it is held. He explained that members of TIM have _discussed the project with two members of the admin istration and have not received encouragement. Adrian 0. Morse, University provost, said he thought the idea was good, but that Ernest B. Mc- Coy, dean of the College of Phy sical Education —and Athletics, would be able to discuss the prob lem involved, according to Nor man. McCoy mentioned that .at pre sent there are no bleachers that would fit the rink. He said they would have to build them, or the audience would have to_stand. Weather also presented a prob lem, according to McCoy. He said shows would have to be short be cause of the .tempeiatures the audience would have to stand. McCoy told Norman that there are no dressing , , room facilities. Norman said one of the major problems McCoy presented is practice time for participants. He said the University is trying to pay off the money they borrowed to build the rink, and that they would not want to keep paying students from using the rink. McCoy told 'Norman that it takes two and a half hours every morning to clean the rink for af ternoon use; therefore these hours could not be used. Norman said he plans to look into the matter further, and has not given up the attempt to have an ice show.
