Attached to this letter you will find the registration forms that are given to students for the Latino Enrichment Program (L.E.P.)

UNLV would like to extend an invitation to all area high school students to join us for our 8th annual Latino Enrichment Program (L.E.P.) on Saturday, April 21, 2001. L.E.P. is an outreach youth conference that promotes higher education for local junior and senior high school students. It is an all day event that runs from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., and is held at UNLV inside the Moyer Student Union. It provides students with essential information about college and consists of several workshops, which cover topics regarding admissions, financial aid, student life, and other resources. During LEP we invite distinguished guest speakers to address issues that are currently facing Latinos in our community and nationwide. This is also a great opportunity to meet students from different high schools that may have similar interests and cultural backgrounds. Breakfast, lunch, entertainment and transportation will be provided for students. There is no charge for participating, but students must submit the attached application form. Latino Enrichment Program Registration Form Please turn these registration forms in to your counselors, teachers, or advisors by the due date.

We can sign off for miscellaneous items so we don't have to send every thing through Senate. Senator Bowers- FYI- The executive board has sent us stuff that they feel has been in question. They don't send us stuff that is small and insignificant. They should be allowed to do this. We would be here for hours if we had to approve everything.

All salaries to be encumbered from the CSUN 2702 (salaries) account, with the first two months from the FY01 budget and the remainder from the FY02 budget; Senate President Pro Tempore Moradkhan moved to approve seconded by Senator Geffen Senator Homampour- Are these the dollars amounts? Have they changed these numbers? Senate President Davy- It is the same as this year Jim Moore- Yes. it is the same Senator Homampour: Can it be more or less? Jim Moore- I'm not understanding. The Senate can decide how much money they will receive. Senator Zardnt- What budget is this coming from? Davy- We have a salaries account. This is different from the discretionary. Senator Fauske- Yield the floor to President Moradkhan Student Body President Moradkhan- Salaries accounts are built in. We have budgeted this amount in. All of these are current pay. The lowest you can allow executive board members to receive is $150.00 month. The money allotted is based on a minimum 20 hours a week. We usually put in more than 20 hours a week though. Senator Homampour- Is this stipend being carried over? Or is it based in regards with the executive board not allowed to work? Davy- It is the same Senator Dilorenzo-1 hae a question (direceted to Senate President Davy.) What does the Senate President do that warrants equal pay to the student body vice president? Davy- I put in the same hours Senator Dilorenzo- what are the differences between you and the vice president? I do not seem to see any real differences between your positions. Senate President Davy-1 run 23 senators and Brady runs five members Senator DiLorenzo- I don't seee what the differnces are between the Senate President and the other senators aside from the fact that they run the meeings and hid longer office hours. It seems to me that the job of the Senate President is nothing more than a souiped up Senator. Senate President Davy- If you have something personal against me then we can address this after the meeting. Senator Bowers- 20 hours a week is what they are required. They put in way more than 20 hours a week. It comes out to 10.00 an hour. However, if they work forty hours, which they usually do, it only comes out to be $5 an hour. Senate President Pro Tempore Moradkhan- You can't hold a full time job if you have one of these positions. It is time consuming. Senator Zardnt- That is 10.00 an hour, correct? Senator Bowers : Yes Senator Zardnt- A lot of students do not make 10.00 a hour. Could our discretionary fund go up if we cut the executive boards pay? Senate President Davy- Indirectly, yes Jim Moore-1 will be referring this to ways and mean committee . Our Salaries budget is around $137,000 a year. Senator Powell- These people are worth their monthly salaries. I have to say they earn their money. I take offense to this. They are worth twice the amount they are being paid. It is impossible for them to have any other income. I do not understand why you think they make so much money. Senator Dayani - Arrives at 6:29 pm Senator Mac Donald- We are in a room that has 23 people getting paid 10 dollars a day. It is bullshit. Check yourself before you check other people. Senator Geffen- Withdraw. Katie said it for me. Senator Martinez- After all their taxes, it comes out to be $800.00 Senator Homampour- Senator Fauske, you have an outside job. Senate President Davy, you have an outside job, right? Senate President Davy- yes, less than 20 hours a week though. Senator Homampour- President Moradkhan doesn't have an outside job. You need to look at how many hours Davy and Fauske work. Take that into account. Senator Williams-1 think they should go up by 4% percent for inflation Senator Zarndt-You guys work hard and I realize that. I know that athletics who receive a stipend cant make more than a certain amount. What amount to you guys have. Is their a rule? Senator Bowers- They can't work more than 20 hours at another job. It stays that in our constitution. It doesn't put a fiscal amount to it though. They cant work more than 20 hours a week. Senator Fauske-1 didn't take this position for the awesome salary. I am making numerous changes with my schedule. It is not like I work at Best Buy. I have an internship. When I first started, I was scared on how many hours Davy and Moradkhan put in. I think we can take money out of other places. I didn't run for this position for the monthly stipend. Senator Bowers: They can only work 20 hours a week. The senate can waive this. Senate President Davy- To put things in perspective, I qualified for food stamps last year. I didn't take them of course. I am not making a lot of money. Senator Bowers - 1 yield the floor to Vice President Knapp Student Body Vice President Knapp-1 think Davy works as hard as the rest of the executive board if not harder. Senator DiLorenzo: Speaks without the floor Senate President Davy: Senator DiLorenzo, you do not have the floor Senator Homampour: Leaves at 6:40 pm Senator Bowers - Yield the floor to Student Body President Moradkhan President Paul Moradkhan: We are not going to take any money out of any other budgets. It is already in our budget account. The senate already approved this budget money. Senate Davy does as much as Brady and I do. She deserves her monthly pay. Senator Homampour returns at 6:43 pm Senator Dunning- The executive board is doing great. Just wanted to say That. Senator DiLorenzo- My comment was queswtioning the position of Senate pResident, not Steph Davy. I was in no way knocking Steph, howeer, I was inquring about the Senate President Posiiton and whats its repsonsibilities were that warranted it equal pay to the student body vice president. Senate President Davy: Thank you Senator Powell- FYI: When you run for a job, you have to make some fiscal changes. I think it is a shame that if you are elected to a position and you can't hold the position because of the change in the amount of money. People plan out their finances around this money. It would be disappointing if we lost good qualified people due to money. Keep that in mind. Move into a vote (20-0-1) Senator Fauske abstains Motion Passes Senator Homampour and Dayani couldn't vote. E. Action Item: Discussion/Approval of CSUN Senate Secretary pay for the term of the current Executive Board. Pay in the amount of $8.00 per hour to be encumbered from the CSUN 2702 account (FY01 through June 30th and the remainder from FY02). Fee waivers not to exceed 12 credits per semester to be encumbered from CSUN 2702 (fee waivers) account; Senator Geffen moved to approve seconded by Senator Bowland Senator DiLorenzo- Didn't we do this already? Jim Moore: It expires in may Move into a vote (23-0-0) Item Passes F. Action Item: Discussion/Approval of rescinding Rule 12 for the duration of Senate Session 31; Senator Dayani moved to approve seconded by Senator Salsaa Senator Dayani: I will allow my committee members to speak their own minds. One senator voted against it, Senator Bowers. The rest of the senate approved it. I do not want to speak on behalf on my committee members. Senator Homampour- We already talked about this twice. Do we need to talk about this again? We will get back into the same discussion. The exact same people are going to talk. We passed this not once, but twice. Senator Bowers- Withdraw Senator Powell- One of the points brought up is that this rule was approved two weeks after a senator could be allowed to register for a class. This was in the middle of February. You can not register for a class in February. I agree with you senator Homampour, but can we legally enforce this? The legal philosophy is in question. New rules should apply to new people, not current senators. Senator Zardnt- When we were admitted to the senate, we swore that we would uphold the constitution, and no law would be made ex post factor. We can not enforce a law that is passed after the crime occurred. We will be in violation of the constitution if we enforce this. Two wrongs do not make a right. I am asking you to do the right way. Go through the by-law committee. Senator Martinez- My basic concern was the constitution said that we can't make a rule. Senate President Davy - These are rules, not bylaws Senator Dayani-1 will ask the Senate the same question I asked my committee. I asked the committee, is this a qualification factor? Or is this unethical behavior? If it is, than it is rules and ethics. Senator Salsaa-1 was curious on rule 12.1 thought this was 13? Senate President Davy: No its rule 12. Senator Woodson: Yield the floor to Jim Moore Jim Moore- This can raise a good legal question. I would like to request that we table this item until I get legal council. This has moral and legal issues. Senator Bowers- I have a couple things to state. I don't want you to be swayed by my decision. Two of the people who voted against this originally voted the other way. The rules were approved. Let the justices decide if this is a violation. We already approved this. I think it should be up to the j/c. This is an ethical factor not a qualification factor. People could be brought up on ethical charges. Senator Homampour- If somebody is removed, then he or she can go to the justices. That justice could grant an injunction. We should allow the judicial council make these decisions. The justices can consult legal council. Senate President Pro Tempore Moradkhan: Yield the floor to President Moradkhan President Moradkhan: Please wait for legal council Senate President Pro Tempore Moradkhan moved to table seconded by Senator Geffen Move into a vote (Senators Dayani, Homampour, Aoki, Dunning, Bowers, and Ling oppose) (16-6-0) Motion Carries G.
