- The domestic and international situation was not conducive to sound investment.
The project was postponed in September after a low bid of $4.5 million was rejected.
AT THE TIME Zook cited three reasons for the postponement:
- Interest rates on investment money were high.
"The domestic and international situation seems to have stabilized," he said.

Throwing eggs, driving sports cars, and racing "bods" will be among the colorful Spring Fling activities this weekend, according to Scott Blackard, Riverside, Calif., junior and chairman of Spring Fling activities.
"Starting at 8:30 in the Lewis and Hashinger parking lots, there's a gymkana," Blackard said,
"and that lasts until five, on Saturday.
"STARTING AT 10 A.M. at Potter Lake is the tug-of-war." Blackard said. This event, like most Spring Fling activities, will be a co-ed event also.
A picnic lunch will begin at Potter Lake at 11:30.
"At 1:30 is the marathon, which is a relay race using large cardboard barrels as the baton," Blackard said.
All of the events are being held at Potter Lake, except for the gymkana, Blackard said.
"At 3:00 is the bod race." Blackard said. "This is an event where four men get together, with two men in front and they lock arms. Then two men get behind them, and bend over and hold on to the waist of the guy in front of him. This way, they've got an H' formed, and a girl will get on top of this and they run."
THE PIE-EATING CONTEST has a man and a woman on each team and begins at 4:00.
"The girl will run up to the pie and eat it as fast as she can, and then she runs back and tags the guy and he eats one."

FROM THE BLUE GRASS beginning to the rockin', stompin' ending, folk music was the scene.
Janet Murphy, Lawrence junior,
and bootenanny coordinator, said,
"The show was a big success. Everyone seemed to have a ball. We even run over an hour."
Old favorites such as "San Francisco Bay Blues," "Today,"
"All My Trials," and "Gilgerry Mountain" appeared, along with some new selections by such current celebrities as Simon and Garfunkle, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and John Phillips (of the Mamma's and the Papa's).
A FAVORITE of the crowd was the three member folk group, The Phantoms. Called back for a second time, they closed the show with a rousing rendition of the Negro spiritual "Rocka My Soul." The audience, divided into three groups, joined in singing and clapping.
Groups of two and three students, along with single acts performed before the enthusiastic audience. Songs of all types were well received, some with audience participation.
