APPROPRIATION TO ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (25) An appropriation of $10,000 was made by the Board of Trustees on July 25, 1951, for rehabilitation of the refrigerating equipment in the Ice Skating Rink. The actual cost of this work has been less than $5,000. The Athletic Association requests authority to use the balance for repairing the roof of the Rink. Since the Skating Rink has been operated on a deficit, it has not been possible to accumulate a reserve for repairs. Delay in repairing the roof may cause serious damage to the building. The Provost and the Comptroller recommend, and I concur, that the balance in this appropriation be made available for repairing the Rink roof. O n motion of M r s . W a t k i n s , this recommendation was approved. CONTRACT FOR REPAIRS IN DAVID KINLEY HALL (26) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $5,250 to E.

Fornof, this contract was authorized. RESIGNATION OF DEAN WILLARD B.
