BILL HISTORY
The UCSU ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER is a UCSU cost center whose mission is to
promote environmental awareness and involvement on campus. The conference, "A
Planet In Peril," scheduled for February, 1989, is part of an annual tradition of
conferences sponsored by the Center which bring a high degree of acclaim and
visibility to UCSU student government. Based on past attendance, this conference
should attract a turnout of between 300 and 500 people, about 40% of whom will be
students.

Two years ago, an Environmental Center conference about rain forests received
the Boulder Daily Camera's award for "Best Environmental Awareness Event of
1987".
Th~

purpose of this year's conference is to give students a chance to hear from
leading thinkers --scientists, policy experts, government leaders-- on the critical
topic of global change.
Additionally, the conference, as in past years, will serve to bring new students into
leadership positions in student government through the numerous volunteer jobs and
opportunities the conference provides. Of all the events the Environmental Center
sponsors each year, the annual conference is the most successful recruiting tool.
BILL SUMMARY
The conference will take place Feb. 3, 4, 5, 1989, in the Glenn Miller Ballroom. It
will involve panels and workshops on greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, fossil fuel
consumption, rising third world expectations, possibilities for international
cooperation and other topics. This bill request funding for the "A Planet in Peril
Conference.
