EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS PRESIDENT SCHUCK: This is the last time I will be here. It has been fun and I think we got a lot accomplished. I am really confident in the new executive board coming in. Thanks for dealing with me. I had a really good time working with all the directors this year. You all stepped up to the bat. The two items for the stress free zone, since we dipped into campus events for MEChA I took money from hosting. For the Ham Hall board we will be paying $14, 500 of the $21,000. One of the agenda items is to have the directors submit there items through the executive board. This will be really weird for the chain of command. You will lose no power. It gives executive board a point. It doesn't make a difference to me anymore but it will help in the future. We will still have the awards thing this Saturday at 6:30. We are giving away a lot of awards. I kind of don't want to leave. I wish you guys a lot of luck next year. I hope the lecture series continues. I will still be around my office until finals are over and I'm going to go to water polo. DIRECTOR MADRIGAL: It is weird being in here because I don't know half the faces in here. Ea gives a farewell speech. CSUN Service went above and beyond this year. We have connected and built our relations with SIA. We are a student governing body and we need to continue to make the students have a better experience here. I want to thank everyone on my board. Kori Braust will make a good director next year. I wish everyone the very best. DIRECTOR BLOOD: I still have work to do because I still have Pataki. The lectures are a good thing that we have been doing. It will be at 7 on Thursday. I would like to thank some of the senators. Thanks to SENATOR BOWERS SENATOR ESPINOZA SENATOR DONNELLY, SENATOR HA WORTH SENATOR CRAWFORD SENATOR MACK and the Senate Secretary. I couldn't have done this year with out the E-Board. I wouldn't be where I am with out PRESIDENT SCHUCK. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ is amazing. He has learned a lot. He is always the one to help out the most. Try to help the directors more next year. A lot of what CSUN does happens through the directors. If the senators help more we can do a lot better. DIRECTOR BOURDET: I want to say thanks to the E-Board. Hoping my assistant will be the next director. He has been the best assistant. Most of you have seen him around and he works long hours. He is the most dependable person I know. I have seen that UNLVCSUN doesn't get too much use. We spent $5,000 on it and we should use it. I am hoping that next year you contribute more to your directors. 3 DIRECTOR ANERSON: It has been a really good four years. CSUN has been one of the best experiences at college for me. I don't have a lot prepared. Fantastic job this year peter. It has been a great learning experiences. The E Board did a really great job this year. The guy that is behind the scenes all the times and he doesn't get much recognition, DAVE HILL is a great person. Shawn Holmquest has also helped me a lot with this. He knows everything that will be going on. I am confident that he knows exactly what he is doing. DIRECTOR DONNELLY: It has been fun. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: Wow. This was the best year in CSUN I have ever had working with Mike and PRESIDENT SCHUCK. I didn't know how this was going to work with PRESIDENT SCHUCK.. The shuttles are something that the faculty loves now. PRESIDENT SCHUCK did what was best for the students. Mike brought me into CSUN and I haven't seen you leave since. I don't know what to say. Please show up to the awards banquet. Also, please support Pataki next week. Thanks for everyone that went to Rebelpalooza. Thank you all. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: I will try to make this quick. To my senate secretaries thank you for all your work. We are up there really late and need to get stuff done. To the senators, I go back to senate session 32.1 feel like I grew up with a few of you and fathered a lot of yall. Capture every moment. I thank you all for the journey. It has been incredible this year. This is the best CSUN we have had in decades. The people who did this in the 70's are really awed with what we have done. I wrote the directors a really gussy email. The directors have done a lot. We need to put a lot of our energy to our directors. To E-Board; two are missing. Jamielle does a lot of our work. DAVE HILL is like the fourth member of E-Board. We will yell at each other through the halls because we are lazy. DAVE HILL has really gotten involved in higher education. PRESIDENT SCHUCK, I would always forget to tell him what was going on because he didn't know what was going on. He did an amazing job for Peter Goatz; Thank you. Thank you for being secretary, and showing me all the details and helping me out a lot. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX: I'm not going anywhere. This is my last year in CSUN. Now I'm going to be the oldest person here. Mike has this system that he has been doing the last few years and I haven't had to do much. I will help you out as much as possible. PRESIDENT SCHUCK I never disliked you and I used to dislike you Peter. I hope we can continue with what is going on. Lets get this all done. VIII. CONSENT AGENDA A.

DIRECTOR BOURDET: The cover is a lot better then what it was going to be. I don't support the director but I do think it is a good magazine. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX: I think the cover is whack. The idea of the magazine is to get the students art work out. The fact is, if I was in here and I heard this then I would be mad. It will be serving out students. SENATOR ESPINOZA: I agree with SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX. I guess we are being scared. If we don't spend this then it will probably got to reserves.

Action Item: Approval of Committee Recommendation of Senate Bill 35-07, which proposes adoption of bylaw 83. As submitted by Student Body President Shuck (see attachment). SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX moves to approve SENATOR DONNELLY seconds PRESIDENT SCHUCK: These items would still be on the agendas. The E-Board would have to support the director before they can come here. The idea is to not have the chain of command going astray. SENATOR PIRO: They way this is worded is active censorship. This is our check on them. You need to reword this to say what you want SENATOR MOSES: If two members of E-Board don't like this then the item is done and won't even come to us. SENATOR LACARRA: If the senate can't look at it, then we can't look at it all. The way it is now we still have a say. SENATOR TEMPLETON: I agree with SENATOR LACARRA SENATOR ESPINOZA: You can always waive the bylaw if this is something you are passionate about. The Executive Board spends the most time up in CSUN. 9 SENATOR BOWERS: The reason we have the government is that we are representing them. I want to know what the directors say. SENATOR BOWERS: Everything we do goes through the executive board anyways. We are always making compromises. I don't think that they are trying to take away your power. They are doing this because they are our supervisors. They listen to what we say and help us with making compromises. Not once have they shot down an idea. They always help us to get what we want done. Be better senators and find out what is going on. DIRECTOR ANERSON: I think they should be able to come up with what is best for CSUN. DIRECTOR DONNELLY: I'm not opposed to this. I don't think that they did this to stop the directors from doing anything innovative that they want to do. DIRECTOR ANERSON: If you have a passionate director, the Executive Board is going to listen to them. We know what we are doing most of the time. We are going to get done what we need to get done. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX there is a reason why we have this how it is. This would be showing a complete lack of confidence in the Executive Board and directors. We need to trust our senators that they are doing a good job on their committees. There are checks and balances. There has to be some kind of compromise. I think it needs to be rewritten. SENATOR WASHINGTON: I feel that from what the directors that this is happening as it is already. This is a risk for future Executive Boards . PRESIDENT SCHUCK: The vice president is in charge of the directors. We could amend this to say that the senate can override the decision with a 2/3 vote. SENATOR PIRO: We are talking about hope. We need to have every person have a say. SENATOR PIRO moves to recommit SENATOR DONNELLY seconds 21-1-0 SENATOR JOHNS opposes F. Action Item: Approval of Committee Recommendation of Senate Bill 34-08, which proposes changes to bylaw 71. As submitted by Student Body President Shuck (see attachment). SENATOR DONNELLY moves to approve and combine Action Item F and G 10 SENATOR ESPINOZA seconds SENATOR JIMENEZ: these are bills and we shouldn't combine and approve. SENATOR JOHNS: I don't know what is going to be changed on 71 SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: Everything in brackets will be deleted SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: We previously had student body presidents who wanted to create there own board. The current student body president body doesn't need all that. He has the directors. He didn't need to have his friends to have stipend positions. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX: I have talked to PRESIDENT SCHUCK a number of times about this. In the three and a half years I have been here, this does not work. The presidents put there friends in a position because they could. The letter was almost pointless. It was a waste of time and money. SENATOR WASHINGTON: Are we still talking about combining and approving? SENATOR VILLA, SENATOR TEMPLETON SENATOR GABRIEL SENATOR JOHNS SENATOR GONZALEZ, SENATOR WASHINGTON, SENATOR PIRO , SENATOR JIMENEZ , SENATOR BOWERS SENATOR MOSES SENATOR LACARRA SENATOR VAN HOUTEN oppose 10-12-0 motion fails SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX moves to approve Jeff Ponchvinin: This was the stupidest thing that CSUN has ever done. SENATOR TEMPLETON: I think this is sad. This is clearly and outrage to the students. If we can revamp this. I am sorry that this failed. This will go out to all the students. SENATOR JOHNS: This failed because the president appointed his friend. SENATOR BOWERS: If any of the senators want to take this on, then don't vote for this. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX: if your concern is to not outreach to the students you shouldn't have voted down the Vagus Nerve . The Rebel Yell is a hundred times better then this. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: The web site should be enough. It is more cost effective. We should be directing people to the web site 11 SENATOR PIRO: I think the fear in the room is that this could be restructured and could be effective. SENATOR ESPINOZA: The people who were here and saw what this was are opposed to this. The lack of effort that was put into this was enormous. There is a reason why the people who have seen this are voting against this. We should get rid of this and then rebuild. SENATOR SORVONGSAVANH: I think that the committee and PRESIDENT SCHUCK think we should do this then I think we should SENATOR JOHNS opposes 21-1-0 item passes G. Action Item: Approval of Committee Recommendation of Senate Bill 34-09, which proposes adoption of bylaw 84. As submitted by Senator Espinoza (see attachment). SENATOR HA WORTH moves to approve SENATOR DONNELLY seconds SENATOR ESPINOZA: The point of this is students supporting the school. This is about making a difference. SENATOR TEMPLETON: Is this for one sport? SENATOR ESPINOZA: No SENATOR PIRO: I think that we should jump on the train right now. SENATOR ESPINOZA: He would keep certain record of what we did like fliers and what we made. This will show what events failed. DIRECTOR BOURDET: I am currently the historian 22-0-0 passes H. Action Item: Refer to Committee, Senate Bill 34-10, which proposes changes to bylaw 72. As submitted by Senator Crawford (see attachment). SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX moves to commit. SENATOR CRAWFORD seconds 12 SENATOR JIMENEZ: I want to bring to attention section 3 a 2. It seems like it is too far apart. I also think that a week is too short. SENATOR TEMPLETON: I don't think that anyone likes the word roughly. 2 1 - 0 - 1 SENATOR VAN HOUTEN abstains I. Action Item: Approval of $ 1500 to co-sponser UNLV Spring Flicks Film Festival.

Thank you for not doing the newsletter. SENATOR MACK resigned. Lacrosse season is over. Our record is 2-5. Thank you for those who went to Ryan Boamgauders vigil. I will defend the shuttles. Because PRESIDENT SCHUCK did this, the university has already put in $300,000. By sending rebel radio to urban affairs, it is institutionalizing it. Greek week happened and was changed again. It was group teams this year. The GPA requirement is going to be 2.5. Thank you all very much. It has been a journey. XII. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR VAN HOUTEN: I am looking forward to SENATE PRESIDENT ESPINOZA SENATOR LACARRA: These dd cards are great. They provide a service so that students can get home safe and they take your car as well. I am trying to get a proctor program. Any student in CSUN can become one and they help out with test taking.

Have a good week. SENATOR CRAWFORD: CSUN got a certificate from the bone marrow. It is for outstanding commitment to the community. SENATOR GONZALEZ: yeild SENATOR JOHNS: I think the real concern is to have the president is going to have to do less work. I havent seen any of the directors reviews. The institutionalized preschool only pays a few people. Lets hope the shuttles help more students. SENATOR GABRIEL: SENATOR JOHNS is a downer. All the directors did a really good job. I heard the Rebelpalooza is on the radio. I think you have done a great job SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA. SENATOR TEMPLETON: Best wishes to you and keep in touch with my friend in Ireland. I hope you do well. I would like to congratulate SENATOR ESPINOZA for being inducted into the order of omega. DIRECTOR DONNELLY was named Greek woman of the year. For the bylaw chair, this publications board is not very clear. SENATOR MACK, my friend is gone. My advice to the new senators, form a committee with your colleges. I am planning a poetry night in the spirit of MEChA. I have had a great time and I have a few meetings left. SENATOR COCHRAN: To the leaving Executive Board, it has been an honor. Thanks to you mike for helping me out during orientation. The second is my birthday and I am glad to see you guys.

SENATOR VILLA: I am learning a lot as I go 15 SENATOR MARAZITA: Thanks for supporting the spring flicks. Supporting art is very important. This will showcase our work. I feel bad that we shot down the Vagus Nerve. It is like getting to know tan ugly person. It would be nice to see more diversity. Go to the festival this week. I hope you guys all go to everything that we do. I think you should all get the Ali G box set. Why don't you guys listen to me? I am going to miss you SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA but I hated you when I first meet you because you said I had split ends. I look forward to working with you VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MULLINAX: Sorry I missed last week because I was recording a CD. UNLVino was awesome. It was a lot of fun. Rebelpalooza wouldn't have been as good if we didn't give them as much money. SENATOR JIMENEZ I guarantee we are only going to get one director. Greek Week was horrible. XIII.
