Discussion Item: Discussion of KUNV format change and financial ramifications; additional two (2) hours of morning jazz in lieu of the Rock Avenue format as submitted by SENATOR PRICE. SENATOR PRICE stated that he submitted this item to update the Senate on what is going on with KUNV; he believes that two (2) hours of Rock Avenue (programming) is going to go into (be exchanged for) jazz (programming); the reason it's happening is because even though they're getting a lot of money from CSUN, a lot of their audience they've been looking at is the jazz oriented audience. He added that basically the option that CSUN has is either to kick in more cash to keep it more college oriented or let them do what they need to do so that they can get their money from the community. He then introduced the RADIO STATION MANAGER, DON FULLER. DON FULLER congratulated the new Senate members; reported the history of KUNV in the 1980's and the effects of its revenue; explained that the percentage of a student audience (18 - 25) has decreased from 1987 - 1995 from 1.3% - .5% respectively; stated that they are looking at doing programming to the public sector because KUNV's morning programming doesn't fit the demographics in the private sector; stated that KUNV in 1996 only had a quarterly share of .5 which he compared with the local Christian station's quarterly share (of the market) at .9. He emphasized that KUNV wants to play jazz from 6:00 - 10:00 a.m. because contemporary jazz has a broad -udience; he projected the 1997-98 bugdet at about $285,000. Several SENATORS expressed their oncern that if KUNV plays two (2) extra hours of jazz to the private sector, that KUNV would be serving the private sector rather than the university students. In response to questions, DON FULLER stated he wants to bring in students to work for KUNV that want to do communications or marketing to be able to get more value for their(KUNV's) money; KUNV plays rock Mon. - Fri., 9:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m., and Sat.-Sun., 9:00 p.m. - 10:00 a.m.; and only 74% of UNLV students don't know or listen to KUNV.

SENATOR PRICE motioned to approve Item B, seconded by SENATOR GONZALES. PRESIDENT ROSENTHAL projected that the Tailgate will be held at Mooses at 6:30 p.m.; Mooses will provide security; the use of the property at zero cost. He further stated that $4500 is broken up as follows: $300 for soda; $800 for finger food, an alternative or reggae band (still yet to be decided); $700 in prizes; $2000 for a tent. SENATOR MOORE took a personal priviledge at 8:30 p.m.. SENATE MINUTES 26-08 / FEBRUARY 10, 1997 SENATOR SOLOMAN motioned to change "2707" (the CSUN account) to "2702", seconded by SENATOR PERSCH.

The motion was in the process of being discussed; then SENATOR SONG motioned to amend after "Fresno State" to "to be held on the UNLV campus", seconded by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN. The motion was discussed regarding security and what Dr. Ackerman's policy was at the last alcohol related function at UNLV. SENATOR PRICE added that the Senate never voted on the previous amendment. The 1st and 2nd of the previouse amendment agreed. SENATOR PRICE motioned to leave "music" in and add "provided it's under $500", seconded by SENATOR PEREZ. The 1st and 2nd of the previous amendment did not agree. SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE reiterated that the 1st amendment was to strike out "music" and add that the event was "to be held on the UNLV compus"; the amendment to the ^nendment was to leave "music" in "provided that it's under $500".

SENATOR FLEISCHMAN moved to approve Items D and E, seconded by SENATOR PEREZ. SENATOR PRICE directed his attention to DON FULLER and stated that he has heard from students "that the reason why we are probably having so many problems with the revenues is because we're spending so much money on professional positions rather than focusing on the students." He added that he understands DON FULLER's position, trying to run the station, and that DON FULLER needs the staff that he feels he needs to properly run the station. He stated that students' volunteering would be more effective rather than paying the salaries of the professional staff.
