SENATE MEETING #32 - June 28, 19 8 3 page 13 IX. Open Discussion Senator Jackson welcomed Barbara Zimmer and Mark Doubrava to the Senate. President Lee suggested that the department heads arrange to meet with Appropriations Board Chairman Eckert to dis-cuss their budgets. Senate President Clay welcomed Senator Jackson back to the Senate from his recent absences. There is an Emergency Senate Meeting on Friday, July 1 at 12:00. noon. If a Senator cannot be present, please notify the Senate Presi-dent in writing before 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, June 29. Senate President Clay pointed out that according to the Constitution, the chairman of each department should . \ submit a line by line budget of his/her department to the Appropriations Board. Senator Mounts pointed out the reason some of the depart-ment heads, have not submitted their budgets is because most of the department chairmen were not appointed until two weeks ago. Mounts also stated that one should take into consideration the "political motives" behind the delay in nominations. As of yet, most boards'and committees' members have not been chosen. Senator Corrales congratulated Robert Eglet, Clarence Lee and Mark Shaffer for taking a stand at the Board of Regents' Meeting. He also thanked John Pasquantino for his support in the matter. 1 Senator Pasquantino mentioned the fact that there was a Reprimand of the Executive Board which was proposed last week. During open discussion the blame for department head budgets not being submitted to the Appropriations Board was placed on the Executive Board, because nominations were not approved until two weeks ago. Senator Pasquantino suggested that maybe everyone should try a new idea and work together. Instead of people spinning their wheels and concerning themselves with minor details, the Senate should be concentrating on what really matters by working to repeal the decision made yesterday by the Board of Re-gents to increase fees by $5.00 per credit hour. This should be the number 1 goal of CSUN. The Senate should represent the best interests of the students, not point their finger and place the blame on anyone. CSUN should do for the students and not for themselves. Senator Glasgow left the meeting at 6:30 p.m. Chairman Eckert announced that she did not mean to upset anyone in regard to the budget. Her board has not been able to achieve quorum. The department heads and Appro-priations Board members should sit down and decide what kind of projects are being planned for the new fiscal year. John Wennstrom stated that KUNV did submit a budget to the Appropriations Board. The reason why $35,000 has been SENATE MEETING #32 - June 28, 19 8 3 page 13 budgeted for the operations account of KUNV is to pay student workers on referral. The radio station only actually needs $4,000 in this account, and the remaining $31,000 is kept in their budget and can be transferred to pay for other CSUN departments' student workers. Senator Eglet stated that when President Lee, Vice President Shaffer and he go to Reno to attend a Regents' Meeting to represent the students and fight for students1 rights, all of CSUN must stand behind what they do. If President Lee offends a regent while taking a stand for students, we must all stand behind him or the effort he made won't mean anything. There is so much we(the students) can do that we have not done. They've hit us in the pocketbook where it really counts. Now, it's up to us to do something. Senate President Clay has used all of her resources in her attempt to obtain quorum. It's up to the Senators who are at the meetings to talk to the Senators who are not to try to get them to attend more meetings. Senate President Clay thanked James Ohreiner for his attendance at the senate meeting. X. Adj ournment Senate President Clay adjourned the meeting at 6:37 p.m. Respectfully submitted by, Respectfully prepared by,
