I n considering this recommendation the previous day, the Committee on Buildings and Grounds approved the recommendations as submitted, with the deletion of the Practice Facility, Ice Hockey, Chicago. President Ikenberry asked that further information now be presented and Vice Chancellor Ward of the Chicago campus reviewed the matter in detail, emphasizing the financial savings that could be achieved, i.e., the availability of the facility would reduce the need for the frequent installation and dismantling of the ice in the Pavilion when other events are scheduled there. Noting the trustees' concern that the Pavilion be self-sufficient economically, he said that it had in fact so operated last year. T h e cost of planning for the project will be approximately $5,000. O n motion of Mrs. Shepherd, the recommendation as originally presented was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Logan, M r . Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, M r . Stone; no, Mr. Forsyth, M r . H o w a r d ; absent, Governor Thompson. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, M r . Lamm, Mr. Pittman; no, none.) In light of the discussion, President Ikenberry said that a general review of the financial operations of the Pavilion (and the Assembly Hall at U r b a n a ) would be undertaken. T h e report would focus on financial aspects as well as the contributions of these facilities to the University and to the communities in which the campuses are located. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 18 through 30 inclusive. T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. ( T h e record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

1 Planning costs for these projects in total are expected to exceed $200,000; therefore, funds required beyond the amounts shown will be provided by the Athletic Association.
