'RATION 305 / 893.9045 19BI SEP 23 Pit 3: 44 104 I would like to request that my name be placed on the list of speakers for the, October 8th Commissioners' Meeting: The subject of my presen- tation would be as follows: Last year the University of Miami gave Just Say No To Drugs, Inc., 20,000 tickets to their November 15th Miami Hurricanes vs Tulsa Golden Hurricanes Football Game. Just Say No To Drugs, Inc. coordinated its distribution of these tickets with Dade County Public School officials and requested and received a signed pledge to live a Drug Free Lifestyle from each and every student who was awarded a ticket to this game. Seventeen thousand tickets were distributed and 17,000 pledges were received in exchange for the tickets. Attendance figures for the November 15th game indicate that 9,600 students came out to the Orange Bowl and enjoyed the football game. This year the University of Miami has offered Just Say No To Drugs, Inc., a total of 1*0,000 tickets for their November 21 st game. One reason cited for this 50% reduction in tickets being made available this year, was the concern by the University of Miami in the amount of money (in the form of fees) that would be owed to the City of Miami due to the issuance of this large block of complimentary tickets. It is my intention to request from -the City Commissioners that any fees owed to the City of Miami by the University of Miami, generated by the issuance and redemption of complimentary tickets issued in the name and program of'- Just Say No To Drugs, Inc., be waived.

Miami, Florida 33261 305 / 893.9045 October 21, 1987 Mayor Xavier L. Suarez City Hall City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 Re: University of Miami Football Tickets Dear Mayor Suarez: Last year the University of Miami gave Just Say No To Drugs, Inc., 20,000 tickets to their November 15th football game. The tickets were given to students in Dade County who wrote a Pledge to Live a Drug Free Lifestyle. Seventeen thousand pledges were exchanged for tickets by area students and 9,600 students came out the Orange Bowl to enjoy an evening of great Hurricane football. This year the University has offered 10,000 tickets to their November 21 st football game. The reason cited for the 50% reduction in tickets for this year's game was the cost to the University last year. The University would like to continue to support the Just Say No To Drugs Campaign in Dade County Public and Private schools, but feels that due to the tremendous success of last year's program, the University will not be able to continue to cover the cost associated with the distribution of such a large number of complementary tickets to their games at • the Orange Bowl. Therefore, as Executive Director of Just Say No To Drugs, Inc., I am respectfully requesting that the fees normally collected from the University of Miami's football tickets for the Just Say No To Drugs Pledge Campaign be waived beginning with this year's football season. I feel confident that if this request is granted, than the aforementioned program of exchanging a Pledge to Live a Drug Free Lifestyle for a _ University of Miami Hurricane Football Ticket will become a strong component for the overall campaign to fight drug abuse among young people. I ask for your support to keep the Pledge/Ticket Program alive and expanding, so that the young people of our community can grow up: SAYING NO TO DRUGS. I shall thank you in advance for your kind attention and consideration In this most important matter.

Miami, Florida 33161 Dear Al, I am sorry our project has taken a few winding turns on the road to completion. Hopefully our phone conversation of this morning opened the door to another angle. The University of Miami would be interested in participating in a reward program for the "Say No To Drugs" campaign in selected schools, using general admission tickets to the Nov. 15, Tulsa Game as incentives for participation. My original concept holds firm, that we reward a select number of students (properly chaperoned, of course) for their achievement in the "Say No To Drugs" campaign, which we heartily endorse. My one proviso, however, is that this is not a ticket give-away, but an incentive for participating in a most worthy program. To that end, I would insist that winners be required to demonstrate some achievement in the "Say No" program, which could be either by passing a simple test in the basics of "Say No", or allowing students to write a short essay on "Say No". The second proviso is that these students would be properly chaperoned and transported to the game. Either in school bus or organised car pool. Again, this precludes the idea of just giving a child a ticket and requiring he/she to furnish own transportation to this game. Department of AtWedcs MukeUng and rnmoUans P.O.
