LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYIANO PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS. NEVADA 39154/(702) 739-3331 OVERVIEW OF COPY CENTER WITHIN NEW CLASSROOM BUILDING CURRENT COPY CENTER SERVICES With the advancement of computer technology and our population explosion, faculty and students are demanding more black and white copying services. In anticipating this increased demand for services, a small, one-operator copy center was established in FDH in 1989. It has been used extensively by the faculty, with a few new features being offered, such as limited scantron service, poster service, and pick-up and delivery service. Student services are limited. The need for such a center has been evident. Total copies from 3/89 to 2/91 increased from 1.8 million to 3 million (60 percent). One indicator of its success has been a 215 percent increase in academic publishing. Academic Publishing Service (APS) provides students with a 37 to 50 percent reduction in cost compared with off-campus facilities. However, as the University population has continued to grow, it has become clear that a 10 X12 foot area (with limited hours and services, no self-service, and delays) is woefully inadequate for the needs of our faculty and students. f HS * PROPOSED COPY CENTER SERVICES The new center of 2,000 sq. ft. would offer full- and self-service with handicap access and operating hours from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. The facility would include: • Scantron Services A Academic Publishing Service (lock-up for tests) A Notary Public Service A Photo Copy Service A Poster Service A Cut & Paste Area A Tri-folder (tape, stapler, scissors, A Typewriter pencil sharpener, A Change Machine paper cutter) A 3-Hole Punch A Transparencies A Pick-up & Delivery A Spiral Binder A Velio Binder A Perfect Binding A Graduate Thesis Program The following services also could be offered when the center opens, if special funding is designated: • Computer Access Resume Program Labels • Color Copier A Lamination • Fax Service • Scanner • Laser Printer If special funding is not designated, the services listed above could be added as cost-recovery funds eventually become available.

OPEN DISCUSSION PRESIDENT BUNIN stated that he would like the Senate to give him moral support, as he had just spoken to Eric Walters from the MSU concering the clean-up of the courtyard, and that the MSU cleaned up, without Student Government's approval, and that Walters now wants Student Government to pay for their work. He stated that he received from Walters a memorandum concerning payment, he returned it voided, and that then Walters called, it was not pleasant. He stated that somewhere, someone is going to lecture Student Government on this. SENATOR ROTH stated that he was supposed to arrive at 2:20 to clean up, but when he arrived, it was already clean. DIRECTOR ROSENBERG stated that she repeatedly requested that the garbage cans be changed, or new ones added, but no one did that. PRESIDENT BUNIN thanked the Yellin' Rebel for the good review on the play that he was in. SENATOR BARKHUFF stated that she never rips on the paper, but that today she is. She told William Holt that he is OUT OF LINE. She stated that she does her job, that she works for her students, and that what was printed was uncalled for. She stated that she would like a written, published letter of apology, as she does her j ob . SENATOR FISHER stated that he agrees with Sen. Barkhuff, but that he will talk to the Yellin' Rebel employees individually to straighten out the misconceptions. He stated that Senate President Polovina needs to look to the other side of the room for motions, and that he could be naked over on this side of the room, and that she would never notice. He asked if "Punky" Finmark could do the "lipstick thing". He wished everyone a good break, and stated that the Rebels are going to beat the Utes. SENATOR CUDLIP stated that he wishes everyone a good spring break and to please excuse his tardiness at the meeting today. SENATOR LOVE wished everyone a great spring break, and stated that she will see everyone next week. SENATOR ADAIR stated that he would have liked to question Director Kennedy concerning tuition hikes, but as he is in Carson City, he would like to direct the question to President Bunin, who responded. He stated that he can only speak for the Electrical Engineers, and that he needs at least 200 flyers in order to post in the Engineering Building to properly publicize events. He stated that as far as the Editorial goes concerning the Senate being wimps, he finds it very interesting that a person will go in to a Senate meeting once, sit through a meeting, and then judge without learing more about Student Government. He stated that the person who wrote the Editorial made an excuse for not getting involved, naturally. He stated that to call the Senators wimps is uncalled for, and that he wishes everyone a good spring.break and that he will see everyone when he getsback. SENATE MINUTES 21-14 4 IX. OPEN DISCUSSION, CONTINUED SENATOR YOUNG had no comments. SENATOR MAULTSBY had no comments. SENATOR ROTH stated that he is going camping and hopes that he will climb out. He stated that he will see everyone next week. SENATOR ROMERO thanked Senator Adair for explaining the tuition increase. He stated that Senator Adair addressed everything that he wanted to address, and that he feels the same way concerning the flyers. He wished everyone a good break. SENATOR ORTEGA stated that she has to address the disqualification article written by a said "reporter". She stated that the article is nothing but a biased opinion which actually questioned the credibility of the writer. She stated that NO Senators get stipends or any other type of financial reimbursement for their time, and asked the writer how much he got paid for that article. She wished everyone a good spring break. SENATOR RICCI stated that she sympathizes with Senators Adair, Barkhuff, and Ortega.; She stated that she is a journalism major, and in one of her classes she learned about argumentative rapes which present only one point of view. She stated that it is a form of censorship, and that it is sad that such a large medium is used and that Student Government has no way to defend itself. She stated that the student body gets raped twice a week by the Yellin' Rebel, and that it is too bad. She stated that if CSUN does bad things it should be in the paper, but that if there is good stuff as well, it should be printed too. She stated that there is nothing the paper about Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman's ad hoc committee to give the Yellin' Rebel its inde-pendence, nor is there anything about the Student Campus Safety Awareness Committee. She stated that the students deserve to know all the good things as well. She stated that she is sorry that they feel the need to portray themselves that way. SENATOR FINMARK asked what exactly is the "lipstick thing." She stated that it is a shame that there are more people in the gallery than there are Senators. She thanked CSUN Business Manager Sue Hobbs for bringing the budget handouts on smaller paper as it is easier to put it in her notebook. She stated that there have been threats of lawsuits about the quote in the paper, and that the Senate and Student Government are fighting a losing battle as the Yellin' Rebel is going to misquote them anyway. She stated that it is a childish argument about not being allowed to get paid, and that the Yellin' Rebel and the Directors are the only people to be paid, and that the Yellin' Rebel seems to be enjoying their raises. She stated that she wished that the Yellin' Rebel would have informed the Publications Board, of which she is a member, of the pay cuts. She stated that as far as the Yellin' Rebel is concerned, she likes Tina Crinite's section in the paper, and that she feels bad that everyone says that the Yellin' Rebel is garbage, but that does not include the Lifestyles section, as Tina Crinite really Works hard and is and incredible reporter and editor. She stated that she has been asking for flyers for weeks and weeks and never got any. She stated that she is sorry to take so much time, but that "Punky Brewster" talks a lot too. She stated that the Yellin' Rebel seems to want to totally crucify Joe Bunin, and that there has been no crucifixion of Christian Hardigree and her Federal crime. SENATOR KOSTMAN stated that there should be a moment of silence for Becky's pen. He stated that he would like to welcome Student Services, OSI, the Judicial Council, the CSUN Business Manager, SENATE MINUTES 21-14 5 IX. OPEN DISCUSSION, CONTINUED and the Elections Board to the "Do-Nothing-Club". He wished everyone a fantastic, safe spring break and stated that a real class act is UNR for their ad in the Review Journal on page 4C. SENATOR LEE had no comments. — — — SENATOR BUNIN asked if Tamara Smith is in the audience, and then stated that oh, yes, she only came once. He stated that last year there was a similar article in the paper at the beginning of last year, and that if any student wants to debate, they can see him to discuss any and all policies, but that no one has ever come to him to do so. He asked who is paying off the Senate, and stated that William Holt has the freedom of speech, but so does he. He stated that he has the right to state his opinion as well, and he plans on speaking it, so do not shoot him down.
