(Announcement attached) CONSOLIDATED S'l(JOINT MEMORANDUM TO: CSUN SENATORS CSUN EXECUTIVE BOARD BOARD DIRECTORS AMD COMMITTEE CHAIRS FRO DENISE SARNELLI, ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR DATE: NOVEMBER 5, 1986 RE: RESIGNATION OF CSUN ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTORSHIP It has become apparent to me that some of you are unhappy with the Entertainment and Programming situation regarding the cancellation of some of the Fall 1986 events. To represent each particular event in this letter would be foolish, for the problems I have encountered and made the Executive Board aware of were dismissed by thorn. Without the full cooperation of team effort, no job will ever be wholly achieved. A few points of interest though would be: 1. Oktoberfest was planned and well organized when I x'eceived a memo from Dean Akerman regarding the security and the ethics of having the Fox, a man of drink, on campus. I then spoke with Robert Cherboniak, an E & P Board member and Justice on the Judicial Council, who assured me that all paperwork on security had been finalized. Without cooperation from security the event held to be cancelled. 2. Homecoming was another well planned event. However, someone in purchasing cancelled the food, and Saga came thru with food the 2nd and 3rd day. 3. Some of the funds for E & P have been withheld during this semester. The Yellin1 Rebel didn't mind stating that money from tuition, lab fees, and books is directed into E & P, but they didn't report that the Senate had refused to transfer funds into E & P that were promised by the Executive Board. The Yell also failed to mention any information provided by myself during several interviews throughout the summer and this semester. NlVF-RSrrY Or NEVADA. I AS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS. NV 89154/(702) 739-3477 Senate Minutes cont. 16-42 page 4 Senator Novak quoted Billy Joel, saying: "You pay for your satisfaction somwhere along the line..." X. Adjournment Senator Leroy moved to adjourn Syudi; Senator Spicer seconded. The meeting adjourned at 6:12pm Senate Presient Is MEMORANDUM Denise Sarnelli Page 2. I could continue but there is no reason to do so. The problems 1 have encountered have been disasterous for the students, but the CSUN President and Senate President have refused to give me any aid whatsoever. They have only sneered and laughed and told me it was my problem not theirs. This leaves me with no alternative but to resign my position as Entertainment and Programming Director as of November 6, 1986 and to wish the next Director better luck. Respectfully, Denise Sarnelli DS/dlc cc: Dean Ackerman, Student Services Dr. Maxson, President. UNLV..-' Senate Meeting 17-5 11-6-86 page 2 VIII. Old Business None IX. New Business A.
