CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 To; All CSUN Senators From: Drew Downer Re: Ammendment to Organizations Special Project Funds #3 1 1 - 1 8 - 8 1 Board Policy; The motion is to ammend the S.P.F. #3 to state; "The S.P.F. will not be granted to any organizations for events at which alcohol will be served." Added to this could be "unless CSUN CO-sponsored." I feel this is an important ammendment. Whenever any student organization holds an event on campus with alcohol, the risks are quite high that our liquor license will come into jeapordy. The CSUN liquor policy and liquor distribution controls are the best on campus and I do not feel that other student organisations will exercize the degree of caution that is prevelant at CSUN co-sponsored events. One careless student group could cause the loss of liquor license for the entire university. I hope you will all support this, its up to you.
