BILL HISTORY

A tradition was started two years ago when the Athletic Departments .at both
Universtiy of Colorado and Colorado State University came together and agreed to
a yearly contest beween the two football teams. This decision was aided
immensely by the state legislature, students and citizens of the State of Colorado.
In its short two year history this contest has become an exciting rivalry especially
with the victory CSU enjoyed last year over CU.
This year the contest will be held in Fort Collins on October 3, 1987. This is the
Buffalos first visit to Fort Collins since the yearly matchup has been reinstated.
Last year and the year before the Rams of CSU packed Folsom Stadium with
crowds in excess of 35,000. Only Nebraska, Oklahoma and Oh~o State accomplished
similar feats. Thus, it is the goal of various officials within the Athletic Dept. and
CU Administration to return the favor and pack the house at CSU.
A hugh advertising blitz will be underway shortly calling for students, faculty and
staff to support the Bu-ffalos and attend this game in Fort Collins. This Bill calls
for UCSU to allocate $1198.80 to a special events account designed to assist
students in their transportation costs. Also, a committee will be formed to
organize ~he buses, advertising and trip details.
Upon passage this committee will also research other funds from the Athletic
Department, Administration and Student Groups to assist in transportation costs.
The attached chart illustrates methods by which funds can be spent on buses and
advertisement.
