Vice President Shaffer Vice President Shaffer announced: "Just for everybody's information, the first thing I want to say is I'm having a really, really bad day to-day, and Sari, could you listen to this please, this is very important. This is the worst day that I've had in the four months I've been in CSUN. And I'm going to say some things here that I really don't give a _ _ _ _ if people like. They can reduce my pay. They can impeach me. I don't give a _ _ _ _. I'm not really proud of this organization today. I'm not really proud of my-self. I sat in my office this morning, like the bigshot that I think I am. I had my feet up on my desk, and I'm trying to think of what I did since I've been in of-fice for four months. And the only thing I can think of is the $2000.00 that we got for the dorm. And that's not ______ And I have to thank Senator Eglet for helping me get that, because I didn't even do that by myself. We had a cabinet meeting last week. It was supposed to be our first one. I'm disappointed that Roby wasn't there because we're having some big problems with E & P, but he didn't show up. So where the hell was he? And where are his priorities? I'm disappointed in Senator Corrales because we have some problems with Student Ser-vices. I've seen the cart twice since the service started this semester. Once, one driver was skidding on it in front of the library and the other time the driver was sitting in the lobby of the dormitory watching television. I'm disappointed in Senator Mounts because I haven't seen _ _ _ _ that he's done with his department. I'm disap-pointed in Karen Eckert for resigning, because I would rather have fired her because she hasn't done _ _ _ _, and I haven't seen her in six weeks. I'm disappointed in Senator Eglet, because his first event was a fantastic one and we should be planning another one. He's the only one so far, in my opinion, that has actually done anything. But I know he can do more so I'm disappointed in him for MINUTES SENATE MEETING #44 2 0 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 4 not doing more. And I'm disappointed in Franco because he's the first to criticize us, but where the _ _ _ _ is he when we need his help? This organization has gone down the tubes. . . Something happened today that really-upset me. I was walking through the union, and a girl was reading the newspaper. She goes, 'Oh, nice job you did with my basketball tickets.' And I said to her, 'Well, look, I wasn't at that meeting. I had nothing to do with it. It quotes President Lee.' She goes, 'I don't care who it quotes. What are you doing about it.' And I asked myself, 'What the _ _ _ _ am I doing about it?' Nothing. We all sit around and we think we're so _ _ _ _ _ good. And we're not _ _. I made promises to a lot of people when I ran for this of-fice. And if I can't fulfill them, I'll leave. Because I'm not going to make an empty promise. That's all I have to say." Vice President Pro Tempore Best had no announcements. V. Board, Committee and Director Reports A. Elections Board Senate President Clay announced that Tracy Beaton has resigned from her position as Elections Board Chairman. B. Entertainment and Programming Board Chairman Turner read the minutes from meeting #7 held on September 19, 1983 at 9:30 p.m. in MSU 120. The members present were Roby Turner, Bob Compan, Steve LoPresti, Suzette Johnson, Murray Long and Jay Lezcano. Liz Cohen was excused absent. Paul Ostrenger was unex-cused absent. The board approved the proposal to sell tickets for the Translator concert from the CSUN Business office with a commercial booth to be set up to promote ticket sales and if that arrangement is not possible, Entertainment and Programming should use the original plan and sell tickets from the Moyer Student Union Infor-mation Booth. The board also approved a contract with Pascal Veraquin of the Dixieland Stompers for September 09, 1983 to pay $210.00.

The sound system from Smith Sound at a cost of $250.00 5. The lights for an event at a cost of $150.00 The expenditures totalled $1800.00. The Entertainment and Programming Board Meeting #7 was adjourned at 11:40 p.m. Senator Long moved to approve the minutes from E & P Meeting #7, and Senator Lezcano seconded. Senator Eglet commented that $750.00 for sound and lights was too much money. He asked why E & P did not hire members from the E & P board to do the sound and lights. Chairman Turner stated that the sound and the lights must be handled by people with technical abilities. The total for this concert is $4500.00. Senator Eglet commented that the costs for this con-cert was $2300.00 two weeks ago. Chairman Turner stated that this is the first major concert which CSUN has undertaken, and a good con-cert will cost money. Senator Pasquantino pointed out that the contract with Gerhard Kinzel stated that the band would be playing from 9 p.m. to 1 p.m. Chairman Turner stated that was an error and should read 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. He offered to correct the error and have Kinzel initial the contract as corrected. Senator Eglet encouraged Chairman Turner to do so. Chairman Turner agreed to do so. Senator Pasquantino stated that the senate requested at senate meeting #43 that Chairman Turner have any contracts which the senate would have to approve, photo-copied and distributed at least three days before the senate meeting at which the contracts would have to be approved. He stated that the contracts for consideration by the senate were distributed at the senate meeting during the Entertainment and Programming Board report. Chairman Turner stated that the E & P meeting was held last night at 9:30 p.m. in which the contracts were approved. He did not have much time to copy and distri-bute these contracts. Since the meeting was held last night, he did not have enough time to type the minutes for the senate meeting today. The board also discussed the possibility of having a secretary attend the meetings to take the minutes or the possibility of having a tape recorder. Senator Schiavone asked what the breakeven point on the concert would be. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #44 2 0 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 06 Chairman Turner replied that the breakeven point would be approximately 900 tickets sold at $5.00 each or a little under 800 tickets sold at $6.00 each. President Lee stated that the Pascal Veraquin con-tract with the Dixieland Stompers was dated September 9, 1983. Chairman Turner explained that the Dixieland Stompers had already performed for a noontime event on Septem-ber 9 for which Turner had signed. The band had not yet received a check for its performance. Senator Eglet stated that Chairman Turner does not have the authority to bind CSUN in a contract without senate approval or the President's signature. Eglet also com-mented that Turner should have spent more time in making copies of the contracts and getting organized rather than concentrating on distributing his letters of support. The senate should have received minutes from the E & P meeting so it could follow Turner's report. Senator Lezcano stated that the board did not have contracts on some of the expenditures it approved last night(Sept. 19). He also added that if some of these contracts were not. approved, Oktoberfest could not be held. As far as the additional expenditures for the concert, Lezcano added that CSUN is basically "stuck" with the concert and should make the best of it. Senator Macaluso asked which expenditures were for Oktoberfest. Senate President Clay stated that the expenditures totalling $1800.00 for which there were no contracts and were stated in the minutes beginning with Bill "The Fox" Foster were for Oktoberfest. Senator Macaluso asked what the Entertainment and Pro-gramming Board budget contained. Former Appropriations Board Chairman Eckert stated that the Entertainment and Programming budget was approved with $15,000.00 in generated revenue, $11,000.00 in carry for-ward and $7600.00 in student fees for a total of $19,000.00 approximately in total money. Senator Macaluso asked how much was budgeted for Oktober-fest . Chairman Turner replied that Oktoberfest was budgeted for $6000.00, but he has found E & P to be approximately $1000.00 underbudgeted. Senator Pasquantino moved to amend the motion to delete all experiditures in reference to Oktoberfest until contracts are distributed which were: 1. Bill "The Fox" Foster for Oktoberfest at a cost of $800.00 MINUTES SENATE MEETING #44 2 0 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 07 2.

Senator Mounts seconded Pasquantino's amendment. Senator Macaluso asked what former Entertainment and Programming Board Chairman Larry Hamilton's budget was for Oktoberfest last year. Moyer Student Union Board Chairman, Larry Hamilton, replied that he had approximately $5600.00 budgeted for Oktoberfest. Senator Eglet stated that the senate should look at the situation as a whole. The senate should not punish the student body for Chairman Turner's mistakes. The senate should approve the contracts now so the events may take place, but Eglet stated that Chairman Turner must distribute copies of the E & P minutes with any contracts to the senate as early as possible. Senator Eglet spoke in favor of approving the E & P board's minutes and contracts. Senator Long agreed with Eglet and added that the con-tract for the Dixieland Stompers was on the agenda for approval a few weeks ago, but the meeting was recessed before the item to approve the contract was considered. Senator Eells spoke in favor of the main motion to approve the minutes and contracts. Senator Bloom yielded the floor to Michael Schivo. Senator Eglet and Vice President Shaffer objected. The vote on the objection failed with 2 in favor(Eglet, Pasquantino) and 13 opposed. Michael Schivo stated that he would be willing to offer CSUN a $2000.00 interest free loan for 30 days to cover costs for Oktoberfest. Vice President Shaffer raised a point of information and asked if Schivo's discussion was germane. The chair announced that she could not predict whether Schivo's statements were germane until he made them. Chairman Turner stated that since he was approved as Entertainment and Programming Board Chairman a month late, he has been trying to play "catch up." He en-couraged senate approval of these contracts so the MINUTES SENATE MEETING #44 20 SEPTEMBER 1983 PAGE 08 performers may be paid on time. Vice President Shaffer moved the previous question, and President Lee seconded. The motion passed with 14 in favor and 1 opposed(Pasquantino).

Jim Ohriner stated that the senate had just violated the constitution by approving the minutes. Senator Eglet stated that the senate must approve the contracts and the president must sign them before they become binding on CSUN. Jim Ohriner stated that he felt this decision should be taken to the Judicial Council to decide the consti-tutionality . Senate President Clay stated that she saw no problem with the decision made by the senate. Senator Mounts commented that if there was any problem with the constitutionality of what the senate just approved, then it should be deleted.
