BILL SUMMARY
Allocates an amount not to exceed $8508.08 from Central Reserve to fund the first
of two key-note speakers: Coretta Scott King and to finance the advertising of all
speakers and events to take place throughout the conference.

BILL HISTORY
UCSU has in the past year spent money on the following valuable and often
essential events and projects: $12,000 to fund the UCSU DIMENSION for the 198485 fiscal year, $15,500 towards the Alexander Haig event last spring $1,600 for a
student book exchange, $13,000 to assist in the funding of an AIESEC Conference
last spring, $1,375 to attend AAUS Conference in North Carolina, $1,100 for a
drunk driving brochure, $650.00 on a differential tuition drive, $1,370 on Take Back
the Night advertising, $1,115.00 for a Legislator's Day, $1,710 to attend a USSA
Conference and another $760.00 to join the organization on a one-year trial basis.
While all of these projects are worthwhile, the AAUS Conference is probably the
single event which benefits the largest group of people, certainly all of the
students on the CU, Boulder campus. Indeed, it encompasses all of the events
and/or projects listed above in one way or another.
AAUS's non-partisan position lends to this conference a very special and unique
attractiveness- all students invited and more inclined to participate in the
conference. All students will benefit. Education is what we are all about education is what this conference is all about. Stengthening student governments
in their efforts to bring increased attention to the importance of higher education
in our society, on both a local and national level.
The conference will be an opportunity for UCSU and students everywhere to voice
their concerns and support for higher education. The timing for UCSU is ideal;
UCSU will be a vocal point across the state - and the message will reach our state
legislators!

Page 2 - 22 Executive Bill 117
The unique grouping of speakers will also assist us in our efforts. Indeed, the
publicity they will give the conference may be the single most important factor,
spreading and emphasizing the goals of the conference and students everywhere.
They will increase tremendously, the publicity the conference receives. The
speakers, too, will increase the participation of student leaders in the conference.
The workshops offered are both crucial to the conference and to the communication
link between students.
Without discounts and special 'deals', the cost of this conference would exceed an
estimated $52,000. Financing efforts will continue. Still, to enable conference
planning to proceed without delay, the requested UCSU financing is necessary
(approximately $9,500 between 22EB 117 and 22EB /18).
