STATE OF THE CAMPUS ADDRESS Student Body President Roderick Colebrook: (paraphrased) "Thank you...Okay, first and foremost, I'd like to tell everyone here that while I'was trying to figure out how I was going to do this speech, how I going to get ready, and how would I talk about some of the things I want to say, I could have had a whole list of things to talk about, or I could speak from the heart, everyone told me: V speak from the heart, you know you can do it, and you know what's going on in Student Government' and maybe that's what you in Student Government want. Student Government, folks want to hear the truth, want to hear it straightforeward, want to know what's going on, and want to UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89154/(702) 739-3477 SENATE MINUTES 22-05 PAGE TWO (2) "actually feel the reality of Student Government, not just someone just speaking to them. I want to say to the members of the Executive Board, Senators, Directors, members of the students at large: I would like to take this opportunity to tell you first of all, that I am really proud to be your Student Body President. I am really happy and excited that at this time I have the opportunity to serve in this capacity because I feel that it is an important job. It is an important duty to do, and I feel as if I can do it, and with j^our support, I can even do so much more. When I look back into last semester I can actually see that there are alot of things that we have begun to do. We have started to work hard, and try to improve the reputation of Student Government, and make it much better than it was before. That was one of the ultimate goals we had.. We talked about it many times, said 'we need to get rid of the stigma attached to Student Government,1 to make it so much better,'and I think that we actually accomplished this goal, we were able to put some things aside, to make it really better. To make people look at Student Government and have much better respect. They have started to respect us because we are much better organized, we have done much more, we care. They can actually see that students can speak to people in the office on any subject matter and actually be heard. And I want to tell you something--as President, there are several things that I can do, without a doubt, because I have the powers to do them. What I can do for everyone is to ensure that our Directors are really active, are really motivated, and can get the job done. We have set certain goals from last semester that will flow into this semester. We have James Brady coming to speak to us...one of the greatest things we can do...so many people there...we will be so visual, more open to the nation... that we want to consider eduational issues, not just social issues, we want to tell people what's going on. . .we willunot have the same reputation as we are an up and coming university and I think we are up and coming students. The next thing is with regards to the nation itself...I am not a state resident, I am not even a resident of this country...we want to encourage voter registration, we realize that we need to take an active role in the Governmental structure, we need to focus on the nation's issues, so Paul Stuhff (NSA Director) will be having a voter registration drive, we approved money to be able to do things like that, to make people more involved, and actually to make Student Government be more involved in the political aspects of the nation. But then we planned on that... And we have to do that...we need to take action...those are some of the things we have to do...in terms of motivating people...I can do that. But then again...we need to start doing now, is to say, 'hey, we need to deal effectively with things going on in the MSU' and 'we need to look into our classes, our tuition, our physical education complex.' We need to be more aware of things on this campus and bring it back to the Senate to be able to do things. We can't sit back and wait for things to be brought to us...we have to go out and find out what is going on and bring it to the Senate and do something about it... SENATE MINUTES 22-05 PAGE THIRTEEN (3) "I wanted, when I was on the Senate, not to hear about what a good day it was, but what was going on on campus. What are the students feeling? This is what we need to do right now, to mesh with out students, not make Student Government more elite...We are the elite few, but it is for everyone... We need to be more accountable to these students... about what is happening, what is going to happen...We have a two dollar fee increase coming up next year, what about the 8% budget cut in the state? What are we going to do? We have to really take an interest in what is going on, and collective come together and talk about it, that is how we are to be a strong voice for the students...This is the time we act, where we show we don't just talk, we do. There is no doubt in my mind that we have a group here that can actually do things. We have come so far from last semester... We learned... how to speak...to research...to talk to each other...to get along. Now, the task is before us to make sure that everything that we approved last semester, that everything we talked about is done. We have to make sure people is aware on campus that we don't just talk, we act. We need to talk to the press and be proud of it. We spent a lot of money last semester on good things...the Day Care, the Multicultural Affairs, events. We have to be proud of Student Government and show it by our attitude. We have to jump up and say yes we are a part of Student Government and say we do 'A,B,C', not just say, we are in CSUN... There will be difficult things, we will hear some things today that will be difficult, but we need to pull together as a whole and take responsibility, as a whole, for our decisions...we have to really come together, but at the same time...we have talk about things and deal effectively with them. Not hide under anyone and say 'Well, I didn't do that, the others did.1 We have to get together and support each other, and be proud of it, and our decisions. I just want to say that with some of the students, I have been really proud to work with them. We have students who have brought Student Government the ability to give out more scholarships, as Tracy Barkhuff did, and not only that, but to say I want to be in charge, and chair the committee, that I want to do more. We are giving 14 scholar-ships out for this semester to students who deserve it. Even though you may be able to afford school, someone else may not. I can't even afford it...People have to take 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, and more scholarships next semester. I want to talk a little bit about Student Government. Let's just think of here and now. It doesn't work that way. We need to think beyond that, much further than that. One thing that I have noticed year to year is that it is inconsistent. We need to make it more consistent to build something really wonderful here at UNLV. How can we do it? We first thought that the CSUN Business Manager would bring consistency, and we hope that this one will actually stay with us, we have had such a turn-over. When I am gone, when Kevin is gone, when Mike is gone, we will need someone to keep it going. We have over $600,000.00 of students money, and we need to make sure it is going to the right places, and used properly. These are stame SENATE MINUTES 22-05 PAGE THIRTEEN (4) "We need to look on it to make it really better. What I want to tell you now is that we are a family. We go through tough times, but we come back together and can talk about things. And when we talk about things, we resolve problems...We are a family working together for the same thing...the students. Don't do it for your resume, if you are doing that, I would suggest that you get out of Student Government now...you have to do it because you care, because you want to do it, and because you feel that you can do something to help students... Thank you for your time." IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS Student Body Vice President Kevin Briggs: Thank you "Brother Roderick." I would like to reiterate President Colebrook's comments. Let's not put CSUN on cruise control, but we need to build on the foundation for the future. We need to work for alternatives on the tuition hikes, for example. Student Body Vice President Pro Tempore Heidi Smith: The nominations for the Faculty Excellence Award are due by all Senators on February 12th. Please get together with the Senators in your college and decide on a single faculty member, and if possible, go to their classes and have their students answer some questions about why they would deserve the award. The Faculty Excellence Award is awarded to only one faculty member, but the nominees will receive a certificate for being nominated. [Vice President Briggs supported these comments.] The shuttle services has been updated, with signs and lights up, and it has been determined that the shuttle does not meet the requirements to handle the handicapped, and that Chief Hollenbeck is working on fixing that. I was asked by the Rebel Yell if the shuttle drivers have been safety trained, and they haven't but will be soon. Student Body President Roderick Colebrook: RSVP for the James Brady speech on February 7th to Joyce. Senate President Pro Tempore Bud Benneman: The Senate Retreat is set up for February 29th, all day Saturday, but that it might become an overnight trip. A cabin and recreational area has been reserved at Lee Canyon, and transportation has been arranged through Motor Pool. I would like to thank Senators Fischer and Romero and Director Kostman for assisting with the KUNV Independence Committee, I have put out a report on it. If there are any questions, please ask me. As far as the memo goes, I have gotten a lot of heat from it, but I feel very strongly about it. I feel that it is the Senate's obligation and right to find out the truth. Those who are involved are welcome to speak on it during the meeting, or if not, there could be a closed session next week. I want everyone to know that this is not a political maneuver, as I have been accused of, but is actually bad for me as I will probably be running for office, but the memo was a result of rumors and speculation rampant in the office. I also want to acknowledge former Senators Ross Kurzer and Mike Bunin, and Homecoming Queen Jay Jay Held in the gallery. Senate President Mike Kennedy: Over the break, Senator Huang took pity on my proposal about a computer system and looked for one that will be user friendly and meet our needs. He has found one, and I have the cost breakdown for it which will be in your boxes tomorrow. SENATE MINUTES 22-05 PAGE THIRTEEN (5) IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED Senate President Mike Kennedy: We need G.P.A. verification forms from all Senators, they will be in the boxes tomorrow. There are no Board, Committee, or Director Reports on the agenda for very good reason, I forgot to have them put on. They will be back next week, I promise. For now, the meeting times will be on Wednesdays at 5pm, but keep in touch during the dilemma to find a better time. Senator Jerome Duran has resigned his Senate and Committee seats. As far as Committee seats are going, I am still working on them, and will be able to speak to the Directors about placing interested parties on the committees. There will be a softball game of "CSUN VS. THE REBEL YELL" coming up. The first practice will be this Saturday, at 2pm. If you don't come to practice, you will not be allowed to play. In this room, you can hear everything said so please keep it down. As far as the memo is done, there has been a lot of talk about it, and those involved can speak during Open Discussion, but noone has to speak. It is up to the Senate to respond to this memo, and everyone is responsible for what is said. No one is immune just because it is said during a Senate meeting. V.
