Vice President Pro Tempore stated that the money will go to ARA for food, the Hotel Association for Decorations, and invitations (which are costing $56.30). POINT OF INFORMATION BY VICE PRESIDENT BRIGGS President Colebrook is handling the c o s t s . Senator Steck asked if the decorations and catering have gone out for bid. It was stated that ARA has a contract for all events on campus. Senator Fisher asked why the date was changed as he had been informed previously that it would be in the Alumni Center on April 24th and was informed that it is because Ren and Stimpy are coming on the 24th. Vice P r e s i d e n t Briggs stated that last year the banquet cost $5500. POINT OF INFORMATION BY SENATOR ORTEGA: last year the banquet was at Caesar's Palace and was wonderful, without ARA food, and not in the MSU. Senate President Kennedy asked for points of clarification concerning the number of guests and the cost of the d e c o r a t i o n s , and was informed that there are 104 estimated guests and that the cost of decorations is unknown. Motion to postpone until the next Senate Meeting by Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman. There was d i s c u s s i o n . Senator Benneman stated that he does not feel that this should be approved until a cost breakdown is provided, and that if the Senate is going to scrutinize any of the Directors, such as E&P, then the E x e c u t i v e Board should come under the same scrutiny. Senator Fisher stated that he is not in favor of postponing. Motion failed 4-4-3 with Senate President Kennedy breaking the tie with an opposing vote. The discussion reverted to the original m o t i o n . Senator Devine stated that it should be approved as is is stated and that we should trust them. However, just because we approve the money does not mean it has to be in the M S U , we can have it elsewhere. Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman yielded the floor to President Colebrook to give a breakdown of the cost of the event. President Colebrook stated SENATE MINUTES 22-14 5 I X . NEW B U S I N E S S , CONTINUED that the food is about $12.50 per person (at 104 per person a cost of about $1300), $200 for entertainment, and the rest for decorations. This is UNIV, and I feel that it should be on campus. We cannot get the Alumni Center, and I don't like the ballroom. Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman stated that it would be $1300 for food, what about the rest of the m o n e y . President Colebrook stated that the decorations are costing about $700-800 from the Hotel A s s o c i a t i o n . There was further discussion. Motion carried by voice vote with Senate P r e s i d e n t Pro Tempore Benneman opposed. Motion to make an emergency motion by Senator Ortega. Motion carried by voice vote with three opposed. Motion to approve $500 out of the 902 account for Kappa Alpha P s i . There was discussion. Senator Ortega explained that Kappa Alpha Psi has been approved by both Appropriations and O r g a n i z a t i o n s , but that they were lost in the shuffle and need to be a p p r o v e d . Motion carried by voice vote. X . OPEN DISCUSSION SENATOR ORTEGA: Thank you for approving the money, c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s KUNV. SENATOR FISHER: Yeah, I don't want to have the banquet in this r o o m , I want it in the ballroom, but don't hang anything on the ceilings . SENATOR HOUSTON: No comments. SENATOR FISCHER: Dancing is really difficult and uncomfortable on a rug. SENATOR YOUNG: No comments. SENATOR BROWN: No comments. SENATOR STECK: No comments. SENATOR ROMERO: Have a good Spring Break. SENATOR DEVINE: No comments. SENATOR AMEND: No comments. VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE FINE: Why not have the banquet here? We can put flooring down for dancing. SENATE PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Please take this up after the m e e t i n g . SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BENNEMAN: The discussion on the contract was very good. This is the kind of thing that we need to be doing as it would have been a very big mistake to agree to a blanket $5,000,000 insurance when we only have a million dollar policy. These are the kind of things we need to go over. Point of Personal Privilege is getting out of hand, there were two cases of it today. I voted against the banquet because I feel that we should have had the cost breakdown, it damn well better be worth $3000, and the decorations damn well better be worth $700. SENATE PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Everybody look at Brian's (Devine) shirt and see what the skeletons are doing. The contract was i n t e r e s t i n g , I got three pages on Friday, but never got the list of complimentary tickets that I requested from E&P. Also, SENATE M I N U T E S 22-14 6 X . OPEN D I S C U S S I O N , CONTINUED. the Assistant Director sent a letter of intent, signed it, and offered the money. As a representative of CSUN, when he signs something like this, we are legally responsible to carry through with the deal. This bothers me, as he had NO CONSTITUTIONAL A U T H O R I T Y to make that type of arrangement. I am really irritated with the way E&P is run, and it has been 11 months of this. We need ALL the information, and I asked all those questions to protect you and CSUN. An example of this is that when we took office, we were bound to have a freshman yearbook due to a former Assistant Student Services Director signing a contract without authority, but we were legally bound by good faith with the company. Congratulations to Bud, he will be taking over my seat, I don't know why he wants it, but good luck . X I .

As a University owned, non-profit, non-commercial, community radio station, KUNV seeks to provide... 1. alternative, culturally diverse, enter-tainment and information programming for Clark County, 2. training in all aspects of broadcast programming and management for UNLV students and community members, and 3. to participate in and extend the Uni-versity of Nevada, Las Vegas' community service, education, and outreach goals. VARIETY: THE SPICE OF LIFE As you browse through Mouthpiece, KUNV's Program Guide, you'll notice a particularly broad spectrum of programs heard only on KUNV! Las Vegas, like the United States in gen-eral, is a cultural melting pot (tossed salad?) full of varied interests, tastes, ideas, and means of expression. We feel our pro-gram schedule reflects and celebrates this diversity. Jazz, Folk, Blues, Rock, Women's Music, Musical Theater, 20th Century Classical, and Spanish and French Language pro-grams are just a few of the many music programs we offer. This says nothing of our coverage of ecology, economics, health, Native American news, Gay and Lesbian news, peace, human rights, the humanities, women's issues... We're sure you'll find something in our schedule that suits your palate!

KUNV is the best H l I ^T T | I I college station in the nation according to H ^ f l J| H | the Gavin Report. Joel Habbeshaw, J L • ^ J T J i m KUNV's Rock Music Director, was presented this prestigious award in February at the national Gavin Seminar in San Francisco. Stations from all across the U.S. were nominated and KUNV won! The Gavin Report is an industry trade paper whose subscribers are commercial and non-commercial radio stations, record companies, concert promoters, musicians, and other industry folks. Nominating ballots were sent to record companies and radio stations soliciting their entries on such categories as Best Music Director, Best Program Director, Best Commercial Jazz Station, Best Independent Record Label, and so on. The nominations were then tabulated and a thirty member panel of experts chose from the top five in each category. KUNV was nominated along with KACV, Amarillo TX, KCMU, Seattle WA, WFIT Melbourne FL, and WRAS, Atlanta GA. This is the third year in a row that we've been nominated. Third time's the charm!! So, when you tune in KUNV remember: the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has the best college radio station in the country!!! i S E f f l t t J f f i l M E ; aNnudk Fe ofrilumm Bound by the Wind. look at nuclear tesuag will V toileted 1)\ a: round table discus-stou moderated by: Maty Rxith Carlton, April it). 7:30pm, FDHl09atUNLV.

GOOD-BYE CSUN, HELLO COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD In recognition of KUNV's changing na-ture over the past ten years, the station and UNLV's Student Government, the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada (CSUN), have agreed to ami-cably part company. While the details are incomplete, at press time it appears that a Community Advisory Board will take CSUN's place. The roots of KUNV date back to the late 1970's when a group of students wished to create a campus radio station to be the voice of the students. Starting in a bath-room on the second floor of the Moyer Student Union (affectionately known as KJON) KUNV later moved to professional studios on the third floor of the building in the early eighties and has been growing and progressing ever since. Now, KUNV not only provides a voice for students but the community at large. In a manner of speaking, we have out grown our Student Government ties and it's time to move on. CSUN's somewhat cumbersome bureaucracy and the notion that a governmental body is so closely linked to a broadcast facility fuels the desire for change. Many stations like KUNV operate with a Community Advisory Board (CAB). This is a group of twenty some individuals providing advice and commentary on sta-tion programming and operations. Our CAB will probably consist of students, faculty, KUNV staff, and several com-munity members. In addition to their ad-visory activities, each member will be asked to support KUNV promotional and fundraising activities. We're looking forward to this new, streamlined organizational structure and will keep you posted on our progress. Any thoughts or comments? Let us know. Spring '92 MOUTHPIECE O 3 p R O G R A 1M 1 H 1 G H 1L I G H T S "Nighty night Johnny." "Aw, but can't I have just one more story. Please just one more?!" "OK, but you have to promise you'll go right to bed as soon as we're done." "I promise! Thanks honey." "Thanks honey"? Isn't that supposed to be "Thanks mom" or Thanks dad"? When you were six or eight years old, perhaps. But now you're older and you spend most of your time with your significant other (remember, this is the nineties) and the trouble is you're still a kid at heart!! You feel foolish but still can't shake old habits - like a story before bed. Don't worry, it's ok Children's stories can still be wonderful, especially when they're done they way we do em on The Gingerbread House. The House, as we call it for short, is southern Nevada's only spoken word pro-gram. In fact, we think it's the only one in all of Nevada! The show regularly fea-tures drama, dramatic readings, poetry, and, for eight weeks this spring, storytelling - children's stories for the young and old alike.

KUNV keeps that spirit alive on The Ginger-bread House. Kid Rhino, a division of Rhino Records and Rabbit Ears Productions have gotten together to produce eight more masterfully told children's stories. Previous Rabbit Ears releases • ' ' 7 i n - j / ' T e c o s RABBIT EARS Bill" as told by Robin Williams with mu-sic by Ry Cooder and "How the Camel Got Its Hump" read by Jack Nicholson, music by Bobby McFerrin. The label has won two Grammy Awards, nine Grammy Award nominations, seven Action for Children's Television Awards, and nine Parent's Choice Awards. These new editions to the series all carry a similar theme - We All Have Tales, a cel-ebration of music and storytelling tradi-tions of peoples around the world.
