BILL HISTORY
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) is seeking $356.00 to fund two
airline tickets to their Student Leadership Conference in Phoenix, AZ, September
29 - 30, 1989. ASME is an active society with over 50 members who bring lecturers
and guest speakers to campus every year. They are also a strong sponsor of the
Egg Drop and Professor Dunking during E-Days.
They are sending a delegation of 5 students (officers) and one faculty advisor to
participate in the conference. The five students compose one design team, which
will enter into competitions at the conference. ASME has already purchased their 6
plane tickets because they were able to save $64.00 per ticket by buying them
before Sept. 1. They are, however, only requesting funding from UCSU for two
tickets to comply with Student Fee Guidelines. Even with UCSU, College of
Engineering and School of Mechanical Engineering funds, ASME delegation
members will be personally paying the remaining $460.00.

BILL SUMMARY
This bill allocates $356.00 + GAR for two plane tickets for ASME members to
attend their Student Leadership Conference, September 29 & 30, 1989.
BE IT ENACTED by the Legislative Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
SECTION 1:

An amount not to exceed $356.00 + GAR be allocated from
Central Reserve for 2 ASME members' air travel to attend
the ASME Student Leadership Conference.

SECTION 2:

A written report will be submitted pursuant to 24 ECB 114.

SECTION 3:

This bill takes effect upon passage.

The 1989 ASME Region XII Regional Student Leadership Conference was a big success.
The conference began Friday evening
September 29th with dinner and a guest speaker.
The speaker was
a mechanical engineering professor from Metropolitan State
College who talked about a trip to China he had recently taken
during the student demonstrations.
The theme of his speech was
"do you like China - do you think the students will win?"
Following the presentation was an impromptu design contest
in which each student was in a group with students from different
universities.
This promoted students becoming better acquainted
with their peers from other schools as well as how to perform
effectively in group situations.

(

Saturday, September 30th was spent attending a series of
meetings which covered topics such as:
Professional ethics in
industry, how to run voluntary organizations such as ASME, and
fund-rasing techniques. All offickrs agreed the conference was a
good learning experience as well as an excellent opportunity to
meet students from other schools.
UCSU can be assured that the
funding they supplied ASME with to attend the conference was well
spent.

Sincerely,
