BILL HISTORY
The Student Chapter of the University of Colorado, Boulder, has the honor of being
the host for the 1989 Rocky Mountain Regional Conference scheduled for April 7
and 8, 1989. Each year the Rocky Mountain Region Student Chapters of the
American Society of Civil Engineers participate in a regional conference that is
designed to foster communication between the students of the attending
universities. This region includes eleven schools of various states--the University
of Utah, Utah State University, Brigham Young University, the University of
Wyoming, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Colorado School of Mines,
Colorado State University, Metropolitan State College, United State Air Force
Academy, the University of Colorado, Denver and the University of Colorado,
Boulder. The conference is open to all students of the University of Colorado.
The 1989 conference contests include the traditional concrete canoe races; an eggdrop contest, which will require students to construct a device that will protect a
raw egg from breaking when dropped from approxiamately 8 stories, and mystery
design competition, which enables students to corn pete ln a time-llmi ted, on the
spot design competl tion. Also included in these competl tions is the non-technical
and technical paper competition. The competitions will take place over two days
and will be interspersed with various social activities such as a social evening, a
picnic during the canoe races, and closing awards banquet.
Although we will be charging each participant a registration fee, the money
collected will not cover all the cost of the conference. In addition many of our
expenses must be paid before we receive any conference registration fees, and we
therefore must procure funding from outside 's ources prior to the conference from
alumni and local engineering firms, and have received funding from our
Department and College. However, the monies we have received to date are _
insufficient to cover the expected expenses.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill shall allocate from Central Reserve an amount not to exceed $1,185.00
plus GAR towards the funding of the American Society of Civil Engineers Annual
Regional Conference.
BE IT ENACTED by the Legislative Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
SECTION 1:

This bill shall allocate $1,185.00 plus GAR from Central
Reserve towards funding the American Society of Civil
