They have flat tires, suspension problems, frame problems so money would be used for that. 2 SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: You said it's hard to find parts? Are we going to get new ones? Representative: The ones that they can work on easier is electric. They end up dying out. It's the gas powered and that's the one we'll buy. SENATOR MAYER: How are these carts so expensive?

We ordered "I Voted" stickers. We're trying to get, for Friday, free food for when they present their sticker. SENATOR CAZARES: How did today's event go? ASSISTANT ELECTIONS DIRECTOR TAYLOR-CAUDWELL: I was in class, but I heard it went well. ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR LONG: I have my flyers and posters in. I'm going to leave them on the table. If you can pass them out to your colleges. KLUC and Extreme radio ads start this Wednesday. We got extra spots for Extreme radio. The Mercury ads have come out. We have four full-page ads. We're going to do a free showing of "V Girls" at the UA Showcase. $3,000.00 of my programming budget is going to the step show. I'd like my money to go to it. NEVADA STUDENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR TEGANO: Okay so how did the debates go? I thought they were really well structured. There were not a lot of students other than us. We did something really well and no one showed up. Since I didn't think that it was so great, I don't think I was completely responsible. I am going to stay for Good of the Senate. Brilliant Senators as we are, we are going to address marketing. I'm talking my head off and it's not working. We're going to figure out a way to do this. I think ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR LONG has done a great job. I was thinking about paying a marketing team. Whatever we're doing it's not working. I think it was an interesting debate. I think it's a good election. People have ideas of doing things one way and doing things other ways. I think it's hard work to do it. If its not getting out of this room its not working. I'm putting together a report on what I did well and poor and I'd appreciate your input in that. Put it in my box. What I want you to think about is increasing the lecture budget. Additionally voting is the next two days. SENATOR SOLDANO is working on a final speaker for the last week in April. I'm trying to secure a fine arts speaker for next year. I don't think they'll be able to speak before the end of the semester. Survey tomorrow, in the field. SENATOR CIANCI enters at 6:44pm. OFFICE OF STUDENT INFORMATION DIRECTOR GUIDENG: I'd like to apologize, I spent all weekend working on it and I e-mailed it and uploaded it the same way. Last weeks page was uploaded instead. It just didn't go up. I'm sorry. There was a major hack on the UNLVCSUN website. I'm kinda excited because I got it up and running. Right now we have a temporary fix. It's double linking. What I have so far is a unified file system. I've thought greatly about marketing. It basically comes down to money. I'm working on that. The website is priority. Marketing, I still have big plans for that. 6 SENATOR CAZARES: Do you have enough time to finish this? OFFICE OF STUDENT INFORMATION DIRECTOR GUIDENG: Yes, it won't be as pretty as I want it to be. I'm taking software that's already been made and tailoring it to our needs. It will run like Frankenstein. SENATOR CAZARES: Are you planning on running for next term? OFFICE OF STUDENT INFORMATION DIRECTOR GUIDENG: Yes. SENATOR HOLMQUIST: Why don't you have an assistant whose job is marketing? OFFICE OF STUDENT INFORMATION DIRECTOR GUIDENG: Yeah that's true. Good idea. SENATOR CIANCI: I was thinking, I don't know how you can put it together. I wouldn't have a problem calling your board the team and paying them. If we pay people that care they will create a bigger buzz. See if you can't put together something like that. SENATOR HOLMQUIST: I know Rebelpalooza had an internship in the past. Maybe u can look into that. SENATOR MAYER leaves at 6:54pm. ( SENATOR SOLDANO: Are you still having problems accessing the server? OFFICE OF STUDENT INFORMATION DIRECTOR GUIDENG: No, it's the domain name. The server is fine. REBEL RADIO DIRECTOR GREENROCK: Mouse pads are being made. The shirts are almost done. The event on the 26 will be real cool if the Senators went out there and had a Senate booth that you would man. SENATOR MAYER enters at 6:56pm. SENATOR MACDONALD: What was the time? REBEL RADIO DIRECTOR GREENROCK: Like 1 lam - 4pm or 5pm in the afternoon. SENATOR CONWAY: It will be easier to have it on Pida Plaza. CSUN SERVICES DIRECTOR IZZOLO: My board met and approved the last organizations. We'll probably have one more maybe just incase someone gets them in late. We're waiting for Ways and Means to approve the funding requests. All the checks are in from the fall. If they don't have it in, it won't be in the book. It's a very good marketing thing for organizations. This gives actual statements for what it is for. 7 Rebel Yell Report None EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BROWDER: The debate, it would've been nice if more people were there. Make sure you encourage them to vote. PRESIDENT MORADKHAN: You will not be taxed on your fee waivers for this fiscal year. It was a statewide decision. It will take effect for the next fiscal. So it will depend on how your bylaws are written. Dr. Harter will be here next week. The tech fee meeting, I am ex effico. One of the topics is the student reps. The number of CSUN representatives out number the entire committee. The NSA, we're eligible next year to have the chair again. Per bylaw 70, it talks about remuneration. I would like to officially give my recommendation. I think with pay and expanding the position they can do great things. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE CIANCI: I got you guys the business cards. Whatever you gave me, as your name is what I asked about. Chairs, agendas, minutes, I'm still waiting for them. They're sitting in their empty. The mailbox is in finally. I'm going down to Boulevard Trophies. I'm going to do the same thing as the picture boards. It will look really nice when it's done. Lastly, your shirts I will work on them next week because I have a test coming up. SENATE PRESIDENT AMES QUIT A: I got a call from Betty, she said that Dr. Harter will be speaking on the 19th and it was e-mailed to us in March. Dr. Fayne will be here on the 26t h. PUBLIC COMMENT SENATOR FLINNER: According to the CSUN Code of Conduct, "The repeated use of foul language in a public or office setting even after others have respectfully asked and documented that you refrain. (Foul language will be defined as something beyond the general bounds of good taste and discretion or that is offense to another member or employee of CSUN)". In the past I have called Points of Information and it has never been documented. Any person who continues to swear during public meetings may be impeached or removed from office. ADLER: I think that an e-mail was sent out, Dr. Harter's mom died. I'm going to go get with Dave Hill so we can send her flowers.

SENATOR MACDONALD: I've sat on a search committee. They're not that exciting. I think they would both do a great job. SENATOR CRAWFORD: If they compress that amount of work in that time? SENATOR MACDONALD: Mine was more so when they did the Vice President of Student Life. You're up and in it. It depends on who's in charge of it. I can see it being very time consuming. I would assume that something like finance would probably take awhile. SENATOR DONNELLY: The meeting times, I'm on the current search committee for the dean of University Studies. Like this week alone we had a meeting and they don't ever ask me when I can come it's on their time not yours. SENATOR MULLINAX: I don't think his class as an issue. I think work is the same as a class in time commitment. 9 PRESIDENT MORADKHAN: Per university policy they must be excused from class to attend these meetings.

Costs to be encumbered from the CSUN 2702 FY 03-04 Senate Discretionary budget. As submitted by Senator Cazares. SENATOR CAZARES: We already approved the money.

SOLEX EKE: We have been blessed to raise 50% of the money already. The Long Beach step show is on the west coast. We're looking to pick up the people that didn't go to that. SENATOR MULLINAX: Only six teams? EKE: Approximately. I haven't had an opportunity to see who has turned in their forms yet. We're discussing if local teams will receive compensation. We are hoping that local teams don't take that. SENATOR MULLINAX: Do you have to pay to be in it? EKE: $65.00 registration fee. It gives us opportunity to have money up front. SENATOR MULLINAX: I think it's awesome. $1,000.00 for first prize is a lot. EKE: We have four locals and four from other universities. SENATOR THOMPSON: When I first looked at this you were charging $20.00 to get in. Will the $20.00 that you take in be used for next week shows? EKE: We haven't had the opportunity to give as much scholarships as we like. We want to distribute that in scholarships. SENATOR ESPINOZA: How many teams were in the Long Beach one? EKE: Seven. SENATOR ESPINOZA: So six to eight is normal? EKE: We have ten teams with twelve-minute shows. It's not feasible for 15 teams to participate.

EXECUTIVE BOARD SUMMATIONS VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BROWDER: I just want to say that I think that something occurred today with the LAB representative. It was in bad taste. I encourage you to clarify the story. This isn't the first time that questionable acts have happened. Lying is a pretty big offense. I would really like for something to come out of this pretty soon. VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN: I have to agree with VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BROWDER. I'm going to make sure he's next Monday. Please speak in your classes about the elections. Lets break the record that we just set. I'm hoping for 2,500. I know NEVADA STUDENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR TEGANO is staying. I'm just asking you to do your part. PRESIDENT MORADKHAN: Yielding the floor, I'm confused on why you don't yield the floor. It's the same as the e-board. I spoke to John Dugan and he did tell me that he wanted the person picked after e-board elections. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: For the record he did say as soon as possible. I will get a memo in your box. He'll be here for the Senate next week. I think it's great to collaborate on different efforts. 12 SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE CIANCI: Taxation, I'm so glad it's over with right now. Congrats to SENATOR AUSTIN. I'd like to go with you. Good luck running in the e-board elections. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR MULLINAX: Director, if you want help marketing, you get me some t-shirts and money and I'll have some bands walk around. School is coming to a close quick. Get on it. Thank you for the cards. I'll get more e-mails that I don't need. I hope everyone had a good spring break and I didn't get burnt this time. Yield. SENATOR JIMENEZ: Thanks for the business cards. Makes me feel more important. I want you guys to know that most of you guys look pretty today. Yield. SENATOR CONWAY: I would like to congratulate Austin. If anyone knows our mission statement, I lost it. The retreat was good, but I see a lot of Senators wavering. Also with your things, with Rebel Radio, we could have like an out door event. Spring break was real sick. Holler at it. Flinner my bad, I will probably always curse. Yield. SENATOR LEE: Thanks for the cards. Yield. SENATOR HEEG: Thanks for the cards. Congrats to Austin. On the hotel college aspect, 10-20 students will be throwing an event helping Silverado hold a student council event. They will be coming to the meeting next Monday looking for support. Helping the hotel college make the event happen. I look forward to it next week. Yield. SENATOR MACDONALD: I'm really excited to have bylaws meet. I know it was something you all wanted. Bylaw 59 doesn't read very clearly. I'd like to see it changed to how we do get paid. Also I've been going through the bylaws going through it and marking fee waiver because it's everywhere. They have a magazine called the Wine Spectator and they had a full-page ad for UNLVino for people to come. Yield. SENATOR AUSTIN: Thanks you VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN where I can get money for the action item. Thanks to the director. And thanks for the search committee. Black power. Yield. SENATOR ZANDER: I was contacted by one of the marketing professors. I e-mailed her. If you have any ideas let me know. Good luck to everyone running. Yield. SENATOR HOLMQUIST: I hoped to see more of your Senators at the debate today. There was only like four of us. There's a soccer game at 10pm. Come support me playing. Yield. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: Friday night is the opening of Floyd Collins in the Black Box. Like I say about all productions, they're free and this one is especially great. If you guys 13 are mad at me by clarifying a power or duty of an office I am glad I can do it. I do take it upon you. We got that little packet at the retreat. Go through that. There's a way to do everything. I just want to suggest that you look through the parliamentary procedure. Yield. SENATOR FLINNER: I put a copy of the LAB bylaw, it was passed during the 33r d and I knew that a bylaw existed. It does have to be a CSUN official to take the seat. Be forewarned, that if you do curse again I will hold you to the code of conduct. Go to the student tech fee meeting on Friday. April 30 is coffee talk for the education college. Why are we not adhering to bylaw 42? Why are we considering approving it? It's starting to annoy me that we keep letting that go. E-board was fun today. It was PRESIDENT MORADKHAN, VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN, VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BROWDER, BUSINESS MANAGER HILL and the directors. Yield. SENATOR THOMPSON: Good luck to the people running this week. Thanks for the cards. Have a great week. Yield. SENATOR ESPINOZA: Just make sure you get out and vote and try to get others to vote. Yield. SENATOR CRAWFORD: I think that when we're trying to look at how other people are trying to do their jobs it makes us look bad. Make an attempt to find out how people are doing their jobs. If you really care you can find out about it. Yield. SENATOR SOLDANO: All you guys on bylaws stick around. I am going to meet with BUSINESS MANAGER HILL on the taxation thing as long as bylaw 6. It's respectable to vote not to waiving it. Sometimes it's redundant. Please if you have any suggestion let me know. The speaker that I was talking about sponsoring I'd like to know your thoughts on it. Check out his website, It's leeryanmiller.com. Let me know what you think before it's up here. Yield. SENATOR CAZARES: On the whole dressing up, I have another tie. On May 1, the civil engineering department has an award for passing it. Its $10.00 for students. We're going to be co-sponsoring it. It will be at the Stan Fulton building on Saturday. It will be a slide show. The canoe sunk after three races. We did better compared to other school. Good luck with elections. Yield. SENATOR SANTIAGO: I think SENATOR CIANCI your doing a really great job. Don't forget to remind them about the Polynesian Festival this Saturday the 17. Junior has been working really hard; he's called me every day. It's really irritating. Remind your classes about this event. There's going to be a lot of Polynesian things to do. Good food, a lot of Polynesian accessories will be sold there as well. Yield. 14 SENATOR SUMNER: I personally think that we don't have a problem with marketing; students just don't want to go to it. Because people in college don't want to spend an hour and a half, but I do think they would listen to a band play. Yield. SENATOR CORPUZ: Ways and Means Tuesday 20 at 6pm be there. Thanks for getting to a meeting rather quickly. Everyone go out and vote. I think it's cool that SENATOR JIMENEZ and SENATOR CAZARES are wearing the same ties. Yield. SENATOR DONNELLY: Maybe you could go to upper division classes. Maybe approaching Political Science teachers as well. Also, I agree about the day. There probably couldn't have been a worse day to do it on. Don't go behind peoples backs, I don't think that's right or professional. I think it's better to approach someone instead of making them look bad. We lost two board members. Ask them if they need help this week. 2pm Friday, if you have any ideas about the shuttle. A lot of the new people are into the idea of a daytime shuttle. On next weeks agenda I will have an item for the Relay for Life for lights. It raises money to fight cancer. Good luck to everyone running. I'm really excited about my business cards. As for what SENATOR FLINNER said about the language. I'm offended when people tell me what I can and cannot say. I don't think that a daycare is the same setting as this and I think we're all adults. Yield. SENATOR MAYER: Our campus will probably never change. It will be terribly apathetic until the day we die. This isn't the middle of Iowa. Even if we did market it better they will still not come. I think some people want to make it better. We just have to realize what we can and can't do. We can do the best job we can. Maybe having a new director of marketing created through the new administration to go around and post stuff around campus. You can't make it something it's not. Yield. SENATOR CIANCI: Vino yes, very good. I will be your humble correspondent and I will relay the message. They do have food their. Make sure you eat before you go. It will be very entertaining and eventful. If you need more business cards ask me. If you have to be driving by stop by and say hi to McLear, I'll get you the name. They usually don't make this type of exception. Hopefully they'll be setting up a website. Just say thank you to them. Since we're talking about pay and bylaws I think I figured out how to pay Justices. I don't think people should live in fear about saying something that will offended them. I'm not afraid to say it. I apologize for missing e-board and the debate. I did have a doctor's appointment. I didn't know what time it was at. I wasn't about to ditch my doctor's appointment for it. I don't think that you should have to switch a work schedule. Perhaps we could do it with Rebel Radio and air it on there sometime to make it live. I know about TV production. Making the film department do it and air it live. As far as it goes on calling out people. I think it's a double-edged sword. Sometimes that's the only way you can keep elected people in check. I was offered a clerk ship two nights ago with one of the local judges, which will help with my legal expertise. Where has Bradley's optimism gone? Yield.
