McCoy Approves
For TIM Mixer at
Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the College of Physical Education
and Athletics, has approved a tentative plan for a mixer to be held
at the ice rink, according to John Sapper, chairman of the com
mittee on the mixer for Town Independent Men.
Sapper said he made tentative plans for the mixer to be held,
Feb. 17. Sapper termed McCoy,
"very cooperative" in his atti
tude toward plans made by the
committee.
McCoy olls
McCoy told Sapper that he'
would have to wnte a formal]
request and set a permanent date
to get a formal approval.
He explained that all plans are,
tenative pending approval of,
TIM. TIM will meet Wednesday,
and vote on the mixer at that
(time. Sapper said the committee]
will meet Tuesday night to form
definite recommendations to make
to TIM.
TIM to Pay for Rink
Sapper explained that although
TIM will pay for the rink for
the night they hold the mixer,
they will not be able to restrict
entrance or use of the rink to any
extent on a Friday night. He said
they will not be able to keep
students off the ice for any period
of time for intermissions and that
they will have to have the mixer
open to the public.
Sapper said that if they buy
the rink for a week night, pre
ferably a Thursday night, they '
could center the activities around]
the TIM guests and have longer
intermissions. lie said the rink
will cost $75 to $lOO, depending'
upon the night.
Thursday Holds Complications
He said the one disadvantage
in holding the mixer on a Thurs
day night is that any women
students would have to be in by
9:15 p.m. This would cause diffi
culties for women taking part
in the intermission demonstra
tions.
According to present plans the
mixer will be free for members
of TIM and the regular admis
sion will be charged to other stu
dents. Three intermissions will
be held with demonstrations by
members of the mixer commit
tee.
University Sets
Skating Periods
For Youngsters
The University will inaugurate
the first of several special skating
periods this Saturday as it turns
the rink over to the .younger set.
Saturday's session will be the
first of the weekly morning skat
ing periods which proved so pop
ular with children last year. Skat
ing hours will be 9 to 11:30 a.m.
During these hours the rink
will be open only to grade school
children.
Monday the weekly "Faculty
Night" will be revived for faculty
members and their friends. Ro
bert Rutherford, Jr., rink mana
ger, said Monday nights will be
reserved for faculty from 7 to 10
p.m. as long as "faculty interest
warrants it."
RutherfoPd said that, although
extremely cold weather has cut
into patronage the last few nights,
early response indicates that the
rink will be as popular this year
as last. Last year, at 58 skating
sessions, the skaters totaled more
than 25,000.
Daily skating hours are 1 to
5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.

Ticket Plan

Rink
The Association of Independent
Men's Board of Governors Wed
nesday night voted for the Pro
jects Committee to continue its
probe of season tickets for the Ice
skating rink.
Projects Committee Chairman
Nelson Seidel reported to ' the
board that Ernest B. McCoy, dean
of the College of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics, had rejected
the season ticket plan. Seidel said
that McCoy's objection to the plan
was that a season ticket plan
would not help the rink make
money.
Seidel reported that McCoy said
the rink had operated at a loss
of $BOOO for the first year of op
eration.
According to Seidel, McCoy said
that at present the rink offers one
of the lowest fees for ice-skating
of any college skating rink in the
country. McCoy said he felt that
a season ticket plan would only
contribute more to the loss al
ready incurred by the first year
of operation of the rink.
There were several doubts
raised to the assumption by board
members who thought there could
be a plan by which season tickets
can help the rink to make money.
The board of governors also
adopted. the statement of policy
of the AIM dance band. The 15-
piece band is required to perform
two free toncerts a year and pro
vide musical entertainment for
independent students.
David Sullivan. chairman
AIM Judicial Board, gave the
board of governors a short de
scription of his group and revort
ed what the board has done in
its two years of existence. Sulli-;
van told what type of cases came
before the board and which stu
dents were the most frequent
lators.
