Executive Board Announcements 1. President Lee He had no announcements. 2. Vice President Shaffer The shuttle cart has been delivered. There are a couple of problems with the lights and the horn, but they will be taken care of before school starts. The rearrangement of the office took place on Friday, August 5.

Senator Eglet pointed out that Senate Bill 010 in-tended to allow CSUN to pay for only three out of state waivers for the Executive Board. These addi-tional out of state waivers are not being paid by CSUN. 3. President Lee President Lee introduced President Goodall. Goodall has discussed the budget with Lee and has con-sidered giving CSUN $2.40 per credit hour. CSUN has requested $2.45 per credit hour. Goodall suggests that CSUN prepare a budget assuming that it will re-ceive $2.45 of every undergraduate credit taken at UNLV. He requests that CSUN identify its year end expenditures or projects, and he will see what he can do about funding. 4. Senate President Pro Tempore Pasquantino Please add New Business, item B, Approval of Senate Bill 017 and item C, Approval of the Reduction of the President's stipend.

As Senator McGuire suggested, Pasquantino released another memo regarding senate decorum. Senator Zimmer was present at 4:13 p.m. 5. Senate President Clay Elizabeth Cohen is no longer a member of the Per-forming Arts Council so there is an opening. Clay has released a memo listing all of position open-ings on boards and committees. V. Executive Board Nominations A. Student Services Committee Members - Rusty Smith(SAL) - from table Senator Eglet moved to remove this item from the table, and Senator Corrales seconded. The motion passed with all in favor.

Publications Board(SAL) - Deana Szabo Senator Eglet moved to approve items B through I under Executive Board Nominations as a whole, and Senator Mounts seconded. Senator Zimmer questioned the chair as to why Mancuso was nominated for removal from E & P. The chair stated that she has not been present at any E & P board meetings and is affecting quorum. The motion to approve items B through I as a whole passed with 10 in favor, 0 opposed and 3 abstaining(Corrales, Mounts, Eells). J. Submission of compensation for Yell Associate Editor: fee waiver for fall 83 semester, maximum 12 credits and fee waiver for spring 84 semester, maximum 12 credits. Senator Corrales moved to approve the submission of compen-sation for fall 8 3 semester, maximum of 12 credits and a fee waiver for the spring 84 semester , maximum of 12 credits. Senator Bloom seconded the motion. Senator Eglet asked whether the fee waiver would be paid out of the general account or the Yell. Senate President Clay guessed that it would be paid out of the general account since it had not been specified. Senator Eglet continued by saying that approval of this fee waiver would be in violation of Senate Bill 010. CSUN is in a budget crisis. He urged the senate not to approve this fee waiver. Eglet does not see how this item is justi-fied. If this item is approved he will encourage his assistant director and all other assistant directors to request fee waivers. Senator Long moved to table this item, and Senator Corrales seconded. The chair announced that she would rule the approval of the fee waiver out of order if it is taken from the 900 account. Franco Frantellizzi stated that this item has been on the agenda since Thursday, and no one has bothered to go to the Yell office to ask him questions about it. Senator Mounts stated that he is not questioning the value of the managing editor; he is questioning the legality of the issue. Mounts does not feel that this fee waiver, if approved, will be issued in a proper manner. Senate President Clay reminded the senators that they should be discussing the table. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #3 8 09 AUGUST 19 8 3 PAGE 4 Senator Eglet commented that whether this item is tabled or not, the senate should allow the Senate President to rule this item out of order. He is not disputing the worth of the fee waiver, but the senate must draw the line somewhere. CSUN cannot afford to pay everyone what they are worth. Everyone is underpaid in this organization. Franco Frantellizzi stated that the newspaper has increased in size from 8 to 12 pages. He, as an editor, needs a con-tract from his managing editor. The fee waiver works out to $9 0.0 0 per month. By giving the managing editor a fee waiver, Franco ensures that the 'managing editor will not quit working in the middle of the semester. Since there is no journalism school at UNLV there are only a handful of students interested in writing for the Yell. Senator Corrales spoke in favor of the table. If this fee waiver is issued, he is strongly in favor of taking the money from the Yell account, not general. Jim Fitchet suggested that the senate issue fee waivers in cash equal to the value of the person's fees. At the present time all fee W c l i v S l T S 3.3TG i S S U G G from the general account. Senate President Clay stated that if the funds for the managing editor's fee waiver are taken from the Yell account, the senate would be setting precedent for other fee waivers. Senator Eglet commented that last year's managing editor did not receive a fee waiver. The argument which was brought up that it is difficult to get people involved in writing for the paper can be used for any department in CSUN. It is the Editor's responsibility. Senator Zimmer asked whether George Lorenzo(managing editor) was aware of the fact that he will not receive a fee waiver. Franco stated that when Lorenzo was appointed as managing editor he was informed that the Executive Board was con-sidering the possibility of a fee waiver. He also stated that he is not greatly concerned with which account the fee waiver will be taken from. He ^ould like to see the fee waiver approved. Vice President Shaffer stated that when Franco's stipend was on the floor for approval, he spoke against the editor receiving a stipend that high. At that time the senate was in favor of Franco's stipend, one reason being that they wanted a superior newspaper. Shaffer stated that since the paper is increasing in size and distribution he has reconsidered and is in favor of the fee waiver due to those circumstances. Senator Jackson was present at 4:36 p.m. Senator Bloom yielded the floor to Senator Eglet who had had already spoken on the issue and had exhausted his right to speak. The chair decided to alloxtf him to speak anyway. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #3 8 09 AUGUST 19 8 3 PAGE 5 Senator Eglet stated that he does not dispute the fact that the senate is in favor of producing a superior paper. On the other hand, in this crisis budget situa-tion CSUN simply cannot afford the additional expenditure. Senator Doubrava moved the previous question. Senator Corrales seconded the motion which passed with 13 in favor, 0 opposed and 1 abstaining(Jackson). The motion to table the submission of compensation for Ye11 Associate Editor, a fee waiver for fall 83 semester, maxi-mum of 12 credits and a fee waiver for spring 84 semester, maximum of 12 credits passed with 7 in favor, 5 opposed(Mounts, Zimmer, Chadwell, Macaluso, Eglet) and 2 abstaining. K. Approval of $100.00 per month stipend for Senate Presi-dent Pro Tempore Senator Corrales moved to approve a $100.00 per month sti-pend for the Senate President Pro Tempore, and Senator Mounts seconded. Senator Long suggested that the senate discuss this item being as the senate just spent a great deal of time dis-cussing the fee waiver. He spoke against the approval of the stipend. Senator Mounts moved the previous question, and Senator Bloom seconded. The motion failed with 2 in favor(Mounts, Bloom) and 12 opposed. Senator Eglet stated that according the Senate Bill 010 the Senate President Pro Tempore may receive up to $100.00 per month. He also commented that he knows John Pasquan-tino spends at least 20 hours each week in the office. He shares the workload. Both the position and the person de-serve the $100 per month stipend. This stipend is provided for in Senate Bill 010 and should not be compared with issuing a fee waiver. Senator Corrales does not think that Senator Long was speaking against the Senate President Pro Tempore*s sti-pend; he only wanted to hear some discussion on the issue. Senator Long was present for the discussion on the stipend last week, and would have expressed his opposition at that time. Corrales stated that Pasquantino has done a good job by cutting memos regarding Roberts Rules and planning a problem solving goal oriented workshop for CSUN. Cor-rales is in favor of the approval of $100.00 per month stipend for the Senate President Pro Tempore. Senator Zimmer stated that the stipends should be based on the job and its responsibilities and not on the indivi-dual. She suggested that a committee be formed to con-sider and evaluate the stipends for the organization ..and to establish levels. Senate President Clay pointed out that a stipend review committee was formed that created Senate Bill 010. The minutes from the meeting are available in the office. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #3 8 09 AUGUST 19 8 3 PAGE 6 Senator Zimmer stated that the current system for assigning stipends is causing the senate problems. It would be easier for decisions to be made if there were guidelines. Senator Eglet moved the previous question and Senator Mounts seconded. The motion passed with 11 in favor, and 3 opposed(Macaluso, Eells, Long). The motion to approve a $100.00 per month stipend for the Senate President Pro Tempore passed with 10 in favor, 1 opposed(Long), and 3 abstaining(Eells, Pasquantino,Zim-mer) . VI.

President Oshinski produced and the senate granted him a raise. Even if President Lee's stipend is reduced to $35 0.00 per month, he will still be the highest paid president.
