Students ice skate in 65-degree weather

They may not be the next National Hockey League stars or Olympic figure skating champions, but ULM students continue to enjoy "ice skating" at the University of Louisiana at Monroe Bayou Park, an activity sponsored by the ULM Campus Activities Board.

The rink is free for all students and $3 for non-students. The Campus Activities Board activity will last through Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2 to 7 p.m.

Stephanie Penn and Daniel Laffitte share a laugh and try to keep their balance as they "ice skate" on a synthetic rink installed next to ULM's Bayou Park.
