A BILL
1.

BILL HISTORY
The purpose of the University Book Store is to act as a non-profit
auxiliary service to support the educational and acedemic mission of the
University, by providing textbooks, general books, supplies, and equipment
to the faculty, students, and staff of the University.

2.

The above educa tiona! and acedemic goals are presently being met.

3.

Retail sales of a non-acedemic nature are not expanding; however, retail
sales are not part of the stated purpose of the University Book Store.

4.

An external expansion of the Book Store would deprive this campus of
desperately needed bike racks and open space, while also destroying
landscaping features and trees. Construction will also coincide with other
significant construction projects, causing undue traffic flow problems,
noise, fumes, dust, and stress for the University Community.

5.

The justified complaints about sufficient handicapped entrance, adequate
backpack storage space, overall aesthetic appearance and lighting
problems may be improved by internal expansion or remodling.

BILL SUMMARY
This bill is looking to halt any plans to externally expand the University Book Store.
This bill will also halt student fees being used as collateral for the bonds financing
this project.
BE IT ENACTED by the Legislative Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
.
SECTION 1:

question on the Fall 1989 election ballot:

the external expansion of the University Book Center in the
UMC. Also shall we approve of our student fees to be used as
collateral for the bonds financing this project."

SECTION 2:

Referendum will take effect upon passage.
