It will be a happy weekend recall-
ing happier times. It will be a week-
end of dancing and drinking. North-
South weekend in Friday through Sunday,
November 3-5.
After exhaustive work by the Stu-
dent’s Association, North-South week-
end will commence with the division of
the masses in the cafeteria Friday
and South shall be continued on the
football field in the form of a tackle
football game. Both teams are big, and
both teams are ready for a brutal clash
of bodies. A girl’s game will be played
before the big one, and it won’t be
tackle.
The festivities will continue on
into the night. A semi-formal dance
will be held on Saturday night at the
Texas Women’s Federation building. And
it is free, too, along with a lot of
very consumable alcohol.
AFS When it first was announced in May
1970 that Denver, Colorado had won its
bid to hold the 1976 Winter Olympics,
most citizens greeted the news with
satisfaction. But now, tw -and-a-half
years later, polls indicate that come
Nov. 7, Coloradans will vote to cut off
further state expenditures for the Olym-
pic Games, and thereby squelch Denver’s
chances of holding them.
Denver officials worked for eight
years to get the opportunity to hold the
’76 Games, which coincide with the
state’s 100th birthday and the nation’s
200th birthday, a time of national cel-
ebrations sure to bring fame and dollars
to Colorado. But soon after the announ-
cement that Denver had won the bid for
the Olympics, the opposition began.

National Safety Council. The
program is being co-ordinated
state-wide by the Texas Safe-

support the kind of Olympics activity
planned for the area. POME members also
felt that the number of projected roads
and parking lots would ruin the envir-
onment.
Nearly 78,000 signatures were ob-
tained—more than half again the number
needed—to place a measure on the ballot
barring all further state spending for
the ’76 Games. Anti-Olympics petition-
ers also got enough signatures to put a
similar proposal cutting off funding by
the City of Denver on the city’s ballot.
State Senator Richard Lamm is one
of the most adamant opponents of holding
the Olympics in Colorado. He recently
said, ’’This is simply the last gasp of
the Sell Colorado program, which seemed
like a good idea at the time. But over
the past few years there has been a tre-
mendous change in public attitude. We
don’t need growth now.”
Other Olympics opponents are dis-
enchanted with the manner in which av-
erage Coloradans have been left off the
four committees planning and organizing
the Olympics. Of 139 citizens on the
four committees, only six are Chicanos,
two are Blacks and nine are women, even
after strong community pressure and sol
yielding on the part of the Denver may-
or to get more minority input.
As election day approaches, Colo-
radans for the ’76 Olympics are blister-
ing the already politically overcrowded
already overcrowded airwaves with their
message to keep the Olympics in Colo-
rado, and the CCF backers are quietly
going door-to-door with their own mess-
age.
