BILL HISTORY
Allie'd Friends for Male Emancipation {AFME) was organized over a year ago in
order to promote an awareness of men's issues in both the University and Boulder
community. Since that time, we have written letters, spoken in a number of
university classes, spoken on radio and cable programs, assisted in the creation of
the first CU "Men's Studies" course {to be taught this Spring), and created what we
hope will be an annual event, the Men's Conference.
Last year's Men's Conference was very successful. Approximately 1000 people
attended five events, learning about such diverse men's issues as competition,
fatherhood, sexuality, violence and intimacy. Over the past year a number of men
have said that they feel the conference was a major turning point in their llves.
Articles appeared in the Boulder Camera, the Denver Post, and the Rocky
Mountain News as well as the Colorado Daily and Campus Press. Warren Farrell,
last year's keynote speaker was interviewed on KOAQ and KNUS radio.
Given the tremendous response we received to last year's conference, we have
decided to expand the number of events to fifteen, and diversify the range of
topics covered to try to attract a wider cross-section of people than may have
come last year. To this end, we are asking the UCSU Executive Councll to fund
two events, Wednesday night's free movie The Great Santini and Friday night's
performance by men's singer/songwriter Geoff Morgan, as well as provide funding
for the Conference's advertising. AFME will cover the cost of lodging and food for
Mr. Morgan during his ·s tay. We are also asking funding from a number of
administrative discretionary accounts, and of course, if we receive any additional
funding from those sources, we will return any excess amount to the Exec. Councll.
