March 2, 1976 TO: Senate of the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas FROM: Student Chamber Players of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas We hereby request matching funds in the amount of $1000 (one thousand dollars) for two events during the Sixth Annual Contemporary Music Festival: 1. Program by the Monday Evening Concerts on Saturday, April 24 (total cost of concert is $1,300.00); 2. Program by the Las Vegas Chamber Players on Sunday, April 25 (total cost of concert is $1,100.00) . The reason for requesting matching funds for these programs is twofold: to help defray the expenses incured for staging these concerts and to allow UNLV Student Body members to attend these events, which promise to be very popular ones for the students, free of charge. The amount of $500.00 matching for each of these programs would be sufficient to accomplish these aims. Since the events occur on April 24 and 25, the checks would be needed by Friday, April 9, 1976.
