ANNOUNCEMENTS SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY- There will be a meeting next Monday because we have some contracts and things that need to be approved. A lot of you got this weird drug thing in your boxes and you had some questions about it. There is a group on campus interested in getting us to pass a resolution. They are allowed to speak during Public Comment this evening, but there is no item on the agenda. PRESENT ABSENT Monica Moradkhan Chris Powell Jessica Zarndt Katie MacDonald (Excused) Nicole Reddick (Excused) Anisa Izzolo (Excused) SENATOR CHAN and SALSAA enter at 6:04pm; In E-Board we discussed what we would like to see happen with the Free Tibet items.

Her spring recognition packet was tabled in E-board, but if you have any questions feel free to ask him or Senator Gonzalez; PRESIDENT MORADKHAN- He will be giving most of his announcement during the end of the meeting. Have a good meeting; SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE MORADKHAN- Sorry about the confusion with the pictures. They were supposed to be today, but we are moving them to the 10th from 4-6pm in room 202. Please dress professionally and let her know if you can't make the time; The Senate stands for the Pledge of Allegiance and observes a moment of silence for Aly Christensen; IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES None; V. BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS A. Senate Committee Reports SENATOR CHASIN- Ways and Means met today and all action items passed except for EE; SENATOR ZARNDT- Rules and Ethics will met next week at 5pm; B. Faculty Senate/University Committee Reports None; C. Business Manager Report- Pam Levins The Business Manager stepped out of the room; ( • Directors' Reports Michael Bond- Office of Student Information He has been working on the advertising for Rebelpalooza; A1 Heck- Nevada Student Affairs It's been a busy week. He explains the survey on the current GPA issue that is going to the Board of Regents meeting on Thursday. (Passes out a survey to everyone to look at) The first part is a fact sheet on the proposed GPA raise and the second page is a survey that he created. He cleared it with the Executive Board and several Senators who were for and against the GPA issue. We will be sending this out to every 7th class in the Fall 2001 Course Catalog. He would like members of the NSA Board and Senators to take a look at the list and see if they are available to pass the survey out to some of the classes. The survey is very quick and simple and should only take 3-5 minutes. Make sure when you administer the survey you don't share any views or pros or cons otherwise the survey and that room will be considered to be bias. He hopes to get close to 1,000 students to fill out the survey; SENATOR STEWART- Wants to know what he is trying to achieve from the survey; Director Heck- The students will not only provide their opinion on the GPA raise, but also information about themselves so we can see what areas of the student populations the views are coming from; SENATOR STEWART- Thinks we should include more questions that can get out some hard data to prove one side or the other. This survey can be something very impactful at that meeting and we should include more questions to find out the reasons for their opinions; Director Heck- That has crossed his mind, but he wants the survey to be quick and to the point. He doesn't want the surveys to lead to a discussion in class or include so many questions that students stop writing. This is going to be the first time many students become aware of the GPA issue and he doesn't want it to create discussion that would in turn destroy the survey; SENATOR AMESQUITA- He walked away from the GPA forum thinking we needed to hear more from the students and he is impressed at how quickly Director Heck got the survey together; SENATOR ZARNDT- She believes that the survey is misleading because she is for the GPA raise, but advocatly against this proposal. She wants to know if the surveys have been run off; Director Heck- He has run off close to 1,000 already and that is something to clarify when passing out the survey; SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE MORADKHAN- She thinks that with the time constraints we have re-doing the survey would be irrational. His survey works and we have to get them out with the time left we have; SENATOR WAGNER- Wants to know who is going to present the information to the Board of Regents; Director Heck- Juanita Fain and possibly Dr. Mills will be presenting the information; SENATOR SCHROCK- Yields the floor to Vice President Fauske; VICE PRESIDENT FAUSKE- He wants everyone to know that this is just for research. A1 is coming at this as the NSA Director, not as someone who is for or against it. He was asked with short notice to put this survey out for statistical purposes as a research tool. There is time at the meeting where people can voice their opinions or hear the whole story so just keep that in mind; Davin Hill- Rebel Radio He wants to thank everyone from CSUN and other organizations for attending the candlelight vigil yesterday. He also wants to thank everyone for helping out with Rebel Radio. They recently met with the MSU Advisory Board where they passed locating Rebel Radio in the Grove. The room would also double as a game room. He is happy about it, but there are still a lot of other things to work on. Construction is now the main thing holding everything up. They are looking into alternative ways to broadcast in order to get Rebel Radio up and running by the spring; Ali Laman-Lyons- Elections Happy studying everyone. She is working on stuff for the Executive Board elections and a rough draft of the Elections portion of the website; Joseph Lucchese- Entertainment and Programming Welcome back everyone. He wants to thank some of his board members who came tonight. Next semester he hopes to have around seven to nine Movie Nights, fifteen to twenty- five Noon Scenes, six to twelve Comedy Nights, six to twelve open mike nights, and anywhere from one to three lecture series. He had a group come to him interested in doing Rocky Horror Picture Shows possible weekly. He wants to have some of the shows in conjunction with RHA and he will be meeting with them later in week. He has been working with the Thomas and Mack to try and finalize some plans for RebelPalooza. His goal is to produce and promote a successful professional scale ticketed festival style concert in and outside the Cox Pavilion with the Thomas and Mack, local radio sponsors, and other key components in the community. The overall spirit for the concert has not changed much from the past. Students in TCA 3761 will work at RebelPalooza concert. He is also working on the sponsorships/donations campaign in order to gain more revenue for the event. He would love to have the headliner picked by next week or by the end of Christmas break. If anyone is interested in anything involving entertainment they will be meeting every Friday at 2:30pm; SENATOR SALSAA- Wants to know if he would be interested in getting involved with Infinity Radio's toy drive; Director Lucchese- Senator Salsaa should see him after to discuss it; Kelly Martinez- CSUN Services (Excused) SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY- We tabled her packet in E-Board because we didn't feel it was fair for Senator Gonzalez to field any amendment we might make to the packet; Liaison Reports Greek Advisory None; Multicultural Student Affairs SENATOR GONZALEZ- MSA is holding two spots for Senators who want to go on the retreat. If you are interested just pick up an application downstairs; Residence Hall Association SENATOR CHAN- Work Out the Turkey Week went well.
