Off* ( /; ATTACHMENT 3 / 26-18 I am requesting that Student Government co-sponsor UNLV's 6th Annual OOZEBALL Event. This event will take place in September of 1996. This money will help Intramural and Student Alumni Association achieve their goal (financially), which will enable them to double the current limit for competing teams to 128. CSUN will be the only outside sponsoring organization. This will include our logo on all materials distributed on or around campus, a logo on all the T-shirt's which are given to every participant (CSUN will be guaranteed free T-shirt's). Last year this event attracted over 1,000 student and was extremely successful. This sponsorship will reinforce to all the students that Student Government is a dominating force on campus when it comes to putting on major events. The amount being requested is $1,500.

Move into a vote. Motion passes 19-0-0. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN questioned who the sixth person was on the breakdown, and requested a specific up to date breakdown. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PIDA-In reply to comments made at the 26-17 Senate meeting by SENATOR KIMMET such as, I don't feel that I would have a problem with say current Senate president Pat Smith attending the meeting. There are some other people who where at the meeting have been possible of falling asleep. I can't send someone to a meeting when they can't stay awake. In statements made by SENATOR KIMMET during Good of the order, most of the Executive Board members we have currently, it's been very clear in the past we've seen that Senate President Smith does attend meetings, it makes sense. Okay, now we're ready to go. For the other meetings, however, there's been no proof that anything has been done to help us. To me it feels like if we sent a member who hadn't done anything and even done worse to fall asleep at a meeting that its a going away present, it's have a trip on us. So I think that we need to look at this long and hard before we decide what's going to be done. It's important that we send somebody. We need to be represented. We also need to send who's been in it to show the ropes to the newer people, that makes sense also. In response to these comments-Senator Kimmet, you have made libeling statements of an Executive Board member sleeping during meeting. I presume that since the issue is the Board of Regents meeting, that when you speak of a meeting that is what you're inferring. I then ask, who is the accused? Where did it take place? When did sleeping at a Board of Regents meeting take place? Who is your credible source? You are full of lies and conjecture to infer from incomplete evidence to defame an Executive board member discredits yourself as well as the CSUN organization. Senator Kimmet, I ask you if you have ever attended a regent meeting? Because if you had, you would know that the Student Body President sits directly behind the University Presidents, thus making it almost impossible to sleep if one wishes to keep a good rapport with administration. You make another inference that there's 3 SENATE MEETING 26-18 / APRIL 22, 1996 been no proof that anything has been done to help us, and that the trip would be a treat from the Senate. Senator Kimmet, if you had accomplished as you stated in Good of the Order to look at the matter long and hard, I feel your conclusion would have been different. You may ask me what Student Body President Pida has done for us: President Guinn, the Chancellor and I put to a seize the increase of $5.00 on the health fee that provided less services. An allocation of $186,396.22 toward the library fore staff, increased hours, and more. $284,000.00 went toward Student Financial Services to hire additional staffing to expedite loans for students. $264,300.00 went toward tutoring. $30,000.00 to Multicultural Student Affairs, and additional moneys toward a bike patrol, computer labs extended hours and other academic support. This is a small part of what has been done. What can you say of yourself? What contributions have you made to CSUN or to the students? It's time to be a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem. If you feel it is a going away present to send someone who falls asleep, it only identifies me as the culprit., the one who falls asleep, through the process of elimination of your statements. If you feel I can't best represent the students with all of this accomplishment then so be it. I can't sweat the small stuff, because it's all small stuff. This is a democracy and you the Senate have the votes. Our organization, CSUN, is at stake. Vote appropriately, with all of the facts. Motion to amend the item to read..."not to exceed $900.00"... made by SENATOR ANDERSON, seconded by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN. Move into a vote. Motion passes 18-0-1. SENATOR PRICE abstained. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the number of Executive Board members that should attend, experience dealing with the issues at hand, and representation for the students regarding the fee increase. Move into a vote on the main motion. Motion passes 13-5-1. SENATORS CAMPBELL, LAXAGUE, KIMMET, ROELL, SOLOMON objected. SENATOR abstained. B.

SENATOR FLEISCHMAN-Passed out cards with shuttle top information on them to the Senate. Former Senator Pheobe Block is okay, training to be an EMT. Thank you for passing Bylaw 32. The information pertaining to former Senator Scott Schwartz should not have been discussed within the meeting, it was inappropriate of the Student Body President to do so, it did not pertain to any business at hand. However the comments the President Pida replied to that were made by SENATOR KIMMET did pertain to business. If President Pida followed Bylaw 27, he would have been at the meeting to respond to them. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT MILLS-Congratulations to Kyle. The Faculty Senate Awards will be awarded April 29, at 5:00 p.m. SENATOR CAMPBELL—A Senators vote is a their say in the Senate and in their decision on a right and wrong vote. Her purpose in voting and deciding the members to attend the meeting was not to send nobody, it was to send the right people to represent the students. Co-sponsoring on Oozeball a great idea for the Senate, is really good PR. SENATOR LAXAGUE—To clarify on the Bylaw, everything is effective as soon as the Bylaw is passed. Feels the new Executive Board is quite comfortable with going to the Regents meeting and introducing themselves as the new team in CSUN. SENATOR FENDELL—Glad the banquet has been budgeted and is coming in at a reasonable price to the Senate. SENATOR SOLOMON—Congratulations to SENATOR LOPEZ. Feels that the price for the purchased plaques for the Senate is excessive. Suggested in looking into the Alcove for the banquet. SENATOR WONG-Good luck on finals. SENATOR ANDERSON-Alpha Kappa Psi is having a Spring Fling this Saturday at Sunset Park. SENATOR TRUJILLO—Congratulations to SENATOR LOPEZ. Spring Fling went well, congratulations to E&P for a good year. Reminded the Senate to remember during all of the debate, not to lose focus on the students. SENATOR —Suggested that the Alcove is too warm for the banquet when too many people are in it. Feels that there is too much nonsense that goes on during the meetings. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MOORE-Congratulations to Kyle. Baseball barbecue is a good event. When Bob Coffin came to speak to the Senate in a caucus, he stressed the importance of lobbying with the Senate and for its causes; need to travel to Reno. Hopes this is not going to be the case when it comes time to send the Student Body President and the NSA Director to the State Legislature next year. Working on Dina Titus speaking to the Senate.
