ANNOUNCEMENTS DIRECTOR JOHANNSSON, Nevada Student Affairs - 1 have a class at 7:00p.m. and I was not aware that the meetings would be moving to 6:30 so I apologize for running out each week. All of you should have a packet of scantrons and questionnaires, I need you to take these to your classes so that we can get as even a distribution as possible. If you have any questions just ask. These are so that we know what the students on this campus feel they need. PAGE 1 CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS • UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA 4505 SOUTH MARYLAND PARKWAY • LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89154-2009 • (702) 895-3477 • FAX (702) 895-4606 SENATE MEETING 25-Q8/MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1995 STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT BOIXO - 1 would like to thank the Senators who attended the Presidential Search meeting last week, and express my disappointment at the lack of attendance we had only five senators there. I feel it was a lack of responsibility, and just so that you all know I will give you the dates and times of the remaining candidates (refer to tape or Executive Board members for schedule). I need people to submit nominations for student of the month, so go to your colleges and get students who you feel deserve this and get back to me. I have been working this past week with Director Reeves to get a lecture series together, we have five people we would like to bring in. I did not make it to Bishop Gorman last week because I had the stomach flu, but I will be attending the rest. We sent the bid out for elections and that will hopefully attract some good services. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT LAGOMARSINO - 1 have the elections board together, three Senators have expressed interest in being on the committee. Faculty Excellence is together, and Director Evaluations were in your boxes. Pay attention to what goes on because the burden of the decision whether to down-grade or increase fees is on your shoulders. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH - thank you to Senators Campbell and Rivera and Vice President Lagomarsino for viewing the tape for the item coming up on the next agenda.

Discussion/Approval of Senate Resolution 25-03 as submitted by SENATOR SCHWARTZ; Motion to approve made by SENATOR CARROLL, seconded by SENATOR ZUREK. SENATOR SMITH - 1 think the more we restrict growth on this campus the more we will see the growing pains that we are already feeling, that is why I am against such a stand by Student Government. SENATOR VODRAZKA - what I want to know is whether we are against the building being built, or are we looking for an alternate route for traffic while the building is being constructed? SENATOR SCHWARTZ - the road is going to be permanently closed, we want the building built but there is a plan that will add another lane when Tropicana is widened to eight lanes that will put a ninth lane that feeds into the Thomas and Mack parking area. What we would like is to have Brussels Road kept open while all the construction is going on so that it will alleviate some of the traffic problems that will arise from students trying to get from the Union parking lot to the Thomas and Mack parking area. SENATOR FOX - 1 see Brussels Road as a short cut, you know that it is not very likely that you are going to get a spot in that lot out front unless you have an 8:30a.m. class. I live in the dorms right now and they understand that the road is no longer going to be open to cars, its going to be another academic mall, so saying your going to keep it open is like saying why don't we pave down the academic mall we have right now so we can get to the engineering parking lot too. SENATOR SMITH - 1 sat on the Campus Design and Master Planning Board in 1992-93 and this was already discussed the emergency vehicles right now access the dorms through the Thomas and Mack parking lot, that Brussels now is meant to be another academic mall which also provides emergency access just like all the other academic malls I don't see how this is going to help us. The students need to realize that we can't park right in front of our classes anymore we are going to have to hike to our classes. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN - the only problem I foresee is access to the Religion and Life Center and you can walk there, you can access the dorms through the Thomas and Mack parking. There is no reason for a road when there is no parking. PAGE 5 SENATE MEETING 25-Q8/MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1995 SENATOR ANDERSON - how much money are we looking at to keep the road open? SENATOR SCHWARTZ - from what Chief Holenbeck told me it would cost about $10,000.00. Move into a vote. Motion FAILS 2-11-3. SENATORS FLEISCHMAN, FOX, TOLBERT, CAMPBELL, BLOCK, RIVERA, EI SEN, VODRAZKA, WONG, ZUREK, and SMITH opposed. SENATORS PIDA MCLAIN, and CARROLL abstained. C. Approval of an amount not to exceed $782.37 for one (1) KUNV staff member (Susan Scott-Weiss) to attend the Seminar-Annual Community Radio Broadcast February 24-27, 1995 in Albuquerque, New Mexico to be encumbered out of the 2703 (KUNV) account (as submitted by SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH); Motion to approve made by SENATOR VODRAZKA, seconded by SENATOR TOLBERT. Move into a vote. Motion passes 16-0-0. D. Approval of $5,000.00 from 2706 (Student Services) account (voluntary transfer line) due to insufficient budget authority in 2702 General account for pre-approved expenditure for the Student Development Center tutoring program approved at Senate Meeting 25-05 (as submitted by SENATOR CARROLL); Motion to approve made by SENATOR CARROLL, seconded by SENATOR CAMPBELL. Move into a vote. Motion passes 16-0-0. E. Introduction of Senate Bill 25-02 as submitted by SENATOR MCLAIN; Motion to commit to Committee made by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN, seconded by SENATOR FOX. Move into a vote. Motion passes 16-0-0. F. Approval of an amount not to exceed $6,000.00 for musical performance by "THE CRANES" on February 23, 1995 to be encumbered out of the 2705 (E&P) account (as submitted by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN), Motion to approve made by SENATOR SMITH, seconded by SENATOR CARROLL. SENATOR FOX - $6,000.00 seems like a lot of money for a band that is unknown. PAGE 6 SENATE MEETING 25-Q8/MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1995 SENATOR SMITH - 1 did some checking into this and it seems like a pretty good group and I'm not a big alternative fan, and the amphitheater is my favorite place to have these types of events. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN - 1 actually think this is pretty cheep, Program Council is bring the Trench Coats on campus tomorrow and it is costing $1,250.00 for a four person group and that doesn't include the rider with their food and lodging. Motion made to amend item to include (contract/rider and) after Approval of; and contract to read on item one "UNLV Alumni Amphitheater or MSU Ballroom as an alternate" and to omit evening performance made by SENATOR SMITH, seconded by SENATOR RIVERA. Move into a vote on amendments. Motion passes 14-0-2. SENATORS FOX and TOLBERT abstained. Move into a vote on amended item. Motion passes 16-0-0. VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT IX. OPEN DISCUSSION SENATOR FLEISCHMAN - anyone who is interested in sitting on the Campus Safety & Awareness committee please come talk to me, and I have taken a walk through this campus at night and it's an interesting place. The Trench Coats are coming tomorrow in the Amphitheater at 11:00a.m., they are really cool so if you can come that would be great. SENATOR FOX - the Health people were good to come and talk to us tonight but I really wish that they would have broken it up into half hour segments over the next few meetings than to talk for so long. I think it would be in their best interest to use the open mic. to get the word out to more students. SENATOR TOLBERT - it was good of the Health Center people to come in and talk to us, they have a lot of services that I was not aware they had. In regard to Director Reeves, I don't agree with what she said, but someone on her board needs to get in and clean up the mess and make sure everything is followed through with. If anyone can I encourage you to get out to the Lady Rebel basketball games, they need our support too. SENATOR CAMPBELL - 1 was really disappointed with you Senator Schwartz, if you weren't for the Health Center maybe you should have gotten on the committee so you could have your say because I use the Health Center so I am for it, so maybe you should have gotten in as one of the people who is not for it. Everyone should get out there and promote Career Day. The open mic. thing was very disappointing when I found out that it wouldn't be going on today because of the Director. Be sure to tell your constituents PAGE 7 SENATE MEETING 25-Q8/MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1995 about the new Touch Registration number. Last week Director Reeves tried to get me to sponsor items that shouldn't have been on the agenda, I told her how the Senate felt about the lack of communication and then she throws it back on us. That position doesn't need an advisor it just needs someone motivated, we have had good directors in the past so we just need to look for someone motivated. SENATOR ANDERSON - no comment. SENATOR BLOCK - 1 need to talk to the members of my committee ASAP right after this meeting. SENATOR RIVERA - 1 am very disappointed that Director Reeves quit, I felt she should have finished the term off and been professional. SENATOR EISEN - 1 just wanted to remind everyone to get their surveys done, this is our best chance to find out what the students want so take advantage of it. SENATOR VODRAZKA - 1 can see why we need an increase in the health fee but we also need money for the library, we could end up with $400.00 worth of fees per student per semester. As far as the budget, something needs to be done. SENATOR PIDA - as far as advertising for The Cranes, is it possible that we can get fliers to the Senate by the next meeting (Student Body President Boixo interrupts to state that she will personally be responsible for making sure that this event is well promoted), because in the past Senators got extra fliers to help promote. I'm a big advocate about getting information before the Senate meetings but those questions that are important should be repeated so that they are a matter of public record. SENATOR MCLAIN - no comment. SENATOR CARROL - well I think the Student Development Center is not providing good service, I went in to check things out and if your a walk in it takes like an hour and a half, that's ridiculous. Parking fee, there is an excellent report from Senator Rivera. SENATOR WONG - congratulation to Senators Fleischman and Rivera for their new Chair positions and the student health fee should definitely be put in front of the students for their approval. SENATOR ZUREK - no comment. SENATOR SCHWARTZ - as far as the Health Center goes I wish I could be on the committee but I am doing an internship which I get graded on as well as two Faculty Senate seats as well as Chair of Rules & Ethics, so I don't have the time but I will give you input on it. As far as the Health fees I don't know that I would vote for it but I would put PAGE 8 SENATE MEETING 25-Q8/MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1995 it on a referendum for the students to vote on. The Board of Regents has already said you will pay a $25.00 parking fee so I don't see tacking fees on top of that. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH - it's really hard to criticize an organization if you are never there and that's why I have a problem with some of the things that Director Reeves had to say, if you saw the time sheets that she rarely turned in she would only show up in the office for about a half an hour at a time. These two events that I have on the agenda took me about 45 minutes each, its not a big deal. Congratulations to Senators Rivera and Fleischman also congratulations to Dr. Ackerman, James Embery and Kenny Kay for making it through this meeting. I'm working on a campus Golf Tournament to raise money for the Library, I'm meeting with the Grounds Director tomorrow to try to make a 9 hole golf course. SENATE PRESIDENT - 1 apologize for the Health Center for taking up so much time, but now we know more about it. This is the first time in a long time that students are being included in the decision making process. The next meeting may be long too because we have a few Entertainment & Programming items and the Resolution revision from the Rebel Yell to discuss the increase in money. X. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn made by SENATOR VODRAZKA, seconded by SENATOR RIVERA. Move into a vote. Motion passes 16-0-0. Meeting adjourned at 9:37p.m. J. William Romero, Jr. SENATE PRESIDENT PAGE 9
