Colorado State University will start the new fiscal year July 1 without a formal operating budget.

The Board of Agriculture authorized continuing most operating expenses at 75 percent of current levels until a budget is approved. The board refused beer sales at Hughes Stadium, noting safety concerns and the impracticality of enforcing a 3.2 beer limit.
