Senate President Clay reminded everyone that CSUN is pressed for time and must approve filing dates in or-der for the elections to be held on schedule. Senator Eglet raised a point of order stating that the motion to approve the minutes is out of order because the meeting was held at 10:30 a.m. when the agenda was posted for 10:30 p.m. Senate President Clay stated that the chair would be willing to accept a motion to approve filing dates for the senate elections as an emergency item. C. Entertainment and Programming Board Senator Eglet asked what dollar amount had been approved for the first concert. He estimated $2400 or $2500 had been approved. President Lee commented that Roby may have gone over budget with this first concert. President Lee believed that it would cost $4100 to spon-sor this concert. Senator Eglet stated that if that information is correct then Entertainment and Programming will need $2000 in addition to what was budgeted for the concert originally. Eglet also stated that he feels that the Entertainment and Programming Board Chairman's actions should be regulated through the cabinet meetings or by the executive board members who is assigned to E & P. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #43 13 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 7 President Lee stated that he was told that CSUN stands to make $10 0 0 on this concert, but also stated that Chairman Turner said he would be present at today's meeting to answer questions.

Senator Long stated that at times Roby Turner has been taking on the duties and responsibilities for E & P himself and has not been dealing with the board as much as he could be. Appropriations Board Chairman Eckert stated that the budget for E & P was assigned enough cash to sponsor the traditional events such as homecoming and oktober-fest. Senators Schiavone and Mounts were present at 4:41 p.m. Senator Pettit asked whether the concert could be moved to a new place with more seating capacity such as Ham Hall or the P.E. Complex. President Lee stated that he had suggested Ham Hall and the P.E. Complex to Chairman Turner, but the chairman preferred to hold the event in the Student Union. Senator Long stated that the contract approved by the senate stated that the concert is to be held in the MSU ballroom. Senator Eglet cited parts of the contract from page 3 which, he did not consider as "standard." He stated parts in which the purchaser agrees to supply and pay for alcohol(Heineken, Molson, Jack Daniels), beverages (mineral water, orange juice, coffee, tea, milk), various meals(to include either fish or chicken salad, hot vege-tables, vegetarian meals, yogurt), deli trays and clean towels. Senator Eglet moved that President Lee take the contract to CSUN's lawyer Chris Beecroft to see if there is any way to get out of it. Senator Corrales seconded the motion. President Lee stated that if the contract has not been mailed then he will hold it. Senator Eglet requested that two items be placed on next Tuesday's: senate agenda (.September 20) , closred personnel session to discuss the Entertainment and Programming Board Chairman and Discussion/Action on the dismissal of the Entertainment and Programming Board Chairman. Senator Eglet asked whether President Lee read the contract before he signed it. President Lee replied that he did not read the contract before signing it, because the senate had already approved the contract. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #43 13 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 8 Senator Long stated that there is a senate opening on the Entertainment and Programming Board. He also stated that dismissal of the E&P chairman is not neces-sary and is a foolish item. Long stated that if the board were more active in the decision making, there would be a check on the chairman. Senator Jackson stated that the Fire Marshal Code for the state of Nevada has been violated by allowing too many people admission to the concert. If the contract has not been mailed then CSUN should attempt to stop it. If the contract has been mailed then CSUN has legally agreed to the contract.

Senator Mounts stated that Chairman Turner should have had the insight to share his knowledge of "standard" concert contracts. It is the senate that is held responsible for the contract, not Chairman Turner. Vice President Shaffer asked whether the contract had been mailed. Chairman Turner stated that he had sent the contract by express mail. Senator Chadwell pointed out that CSUN is liable for anyone who records the group "Burning Sensations."

Clay stated that the resolution recently passed stated additional reasons which support her opinion. Clay asked Senator Glasgow to repeat some of the state-ments she made during the past discussions regarding the President. She felt that it was President Lee's responsibility to read the contract before he signed it. Senate President Clay stated that she personally reads all minutes and paperwork before she signs. James Ohriner believes that a person's pay should not be used as a weapon. The stipend shouldbe set accord-ing to the position and not the person. Personality of the person holding the position should not be considered. If the person is not doing the job correctly, he/she should be reprimanded or eliminated. The person's pay should not be altered as a form of punishment. Senator Glasgow stated that President Lee's stipend was originally approved at $380.00 and amended at a later meeting to $450.00. The amendment was done in-correctly so it was corrected. The proposal is not a reduction in stipend. It is a submission of a $380.00 per month stipend. As a representative of the college of Business and Eco-nomics , Glasgow stated that she was pointing out. a huge waste within the organization as far as an "extremely high and even outrageous amount of money being paid to a member whose actions have only brought controversy and come very close to the total destruction of our organiza-tion." Glasgow quoted Lee as saying that "you(senate) have an evaluation, say in the middle of my term here and you can decide if I'm worth $4 55.00. Now at that time, that's when you make your cut. . ." Jim Ohriner stated that the comments made by Glasgow and Clay deal with the personality and not the position of the presidency. If a President is doing a bad job then he should be impeached. President Lee stated that everyone knows that the situation is personal. He also stated that he knows the seante does not care for him, and he does not particularly care for the senate. Lee has been receiving a $450.00 per month stipend would be a reduction, maybe not technically, but it would be a reduction. Lee stated "Do what you(senate) think is best." Senator Mounts moved the previous question, and President Lee seconded. The motion passed with 9 in favor and 4 opposed(Long. Glasgow, Corrales, Bloom). The motion to approve the submission of a $380.00 per month stipend for the President passed with 7 in favor, 4 opposed (Long,- Corrales, Glasgow, Bloom) and 1 abstain-ing (Lezcano). C.

Senator Eglet stated that according to bylaw #15 this motion is illegal and he appealed to the chair to rule it out of order. The chair ruled the motion out of order. Senator Chadwell moved to set the CSUN Senate filing dates from September 19 through October 5, 19 8 3 with the security deposit to be set at $25.00 per candidate and election dates to be October 12 and 13, 1983.

Senator Doubrava seconded the motion. Senate President Clay asked if this approval would involve a contract. Mounts stated that there would be a contract involved. Senator Eglet strongly objected to the approval of this lecture. The motion to object to the consideration of the main motion failed with 5 in favor, 5 opposed(Lezcano, Long, Mounts, Schiavone, Doubrava) and 2 abstaining. Senator Mounts withdrew his main motion and the second concurred. Senator Mounts moved to approve a lecture for Monday, September 19 or Tuesday, September 20 at 5:00 p.m. with costs for honararium not to exceed $200.00, costs for ad-vertising not to exceed $100.00 and miscellaneous costs not to exceed $100.00. Senator Corrales seconded the MINUTES SENATE MEETING #43 13 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 13 Senator Eglet stated that it would be irresponsible for the senate to approve another contract which it has not seen. Senator Long pointed out that if KUNV allows one presi-dential candidate air time, it will have to allow every presidential candidate air time, also. Senator Corrales asked where the funds for the lecture would be taken. Senator Mounts stated that the funds for the lecture would be taken from the 912 account(Professional Programming Department). Vice President Shaffer spoke against the motion to approve a lecturer for a cost not to exceed $400.00. Shaffer stated that he felt the money could be better spent on programs other than lecturer Devere Baker who is "banking on love paving the way to the White House" and wants to establish a "People's Bank" and replace all present cur-rency withi"peoplebacks" instead of <tj:r£eribacks. Senator Macaluso moved the previous question, and Senator Bloom seconded. The motion passed with all in favor.

Senator Bloom moved to suspend the rules and move to item C of New Business. Vice President Shaffer seconded and there being no objections, the chair moved into item C. C. Approval of CSUN Senate Election filing dates, election dates and security deposit Senator Bloom moved to reconsider the action taken on the approval of the motion to set filing for senate elections for September 19 through October 5, 1983 with security deposit to be set at $25.00 per candidate and election dates to be October 12 and 13, 19 83. The motion to reconsider was seconded by Senator Chadwell and passed with all in favor. Senator Bloom moved to set the filing dates for CSUN Senate Elections for September 19 through September 23, 19 8 3 with election dates of October 12 and 13 and a $25.00 security deposit per candidate. Senator Chadwell seconded the motion which passed with all in favor. Senator Eglet moved to adjourn, and Senator Jackson seconded. The motion failed with 6 in favor and 7 opposed. IX. Open Discussion Bruce Dyer agreed with Roby Turner by stating that the contract was: standard for the business.

Dyer asked CSUN, particularly those present at the meeting today, to MINUTES SENATE MEETING #43 13 SEPTEMBER 19 8 3 PAGE 0 14 support Roby in his efforts. Senator Senator CEngalaewt ellle fts t.atthee-d. miene trinegf eraetn c6e: 46t op-.tmn.e „Y el,l .i.n . . Rebel article regarding bylaw #9 that the senate was not trying to give more power to itself. Chadwel1 added if the senate knew that parts of the bylaw were illegal, it would not have passed it. Senator Macaluso stated that if E & P is planning to sell 1500 tickets for a concert in a ballroom that holds approximately 9 00 people then it will be violating the Fire Marshall Code. Macaluso also commented that since E & P will have to sell approximately 800 tickets at the cost of $5 or $6 each to break even, she questioned whether the event would generate a substantial amount of revenue. Senate President Clay announced that there will be student leadership seminars held sponsored by MSU and CSUN. The approximate cost to CSUN would be $10.00 to cover the cost of printing. Clay encouraged everyone to attend. Senator Mounts stated that the opportunity to schedule Devere Baker as a speaker for Monday or Tuesday was made known to him over the weekend and that was why he was unprepared for the senate meeting today. Mounts felt it would be good for an eccentric type of lecturer to speak at UNLV. He also added that next time he would be more prepared when he has a proposal and wished that Devere Baker's lecture would have been approved. Senator Bloom left the meeting at 6:53 p.m. Larry Hamilton, MSU Board Chairman, recommended that CSUN sup
