He highlighted some points in the policy. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE CIANCI asked if there were any changes from this one and the one from February? CHIEF JUSTICE MO AS said that there were some minor ones. For example the one about five days for the defendant to prepare, and the second thing was that we change was a vote to amend the policy. SENATOR MAYER asked why do these policies change? Why aren't these policies set in stone? Why are they so easy to change? These rules to him should be in a constitutional form. CHIEF JUSTICE MOAS replied that they did discuss this. He said that the minor details, days, hours, absentee ballots, were all problems and they run into different problems each semester and it answers what the constitution leave out on purpose.

As a result that she talked to the BSA about doing more forums on issues as well as Rock the Vote. She said that her board was mainly a research board. She would like to have them research things on campus. One project is a full-scale survey. We spent one million dollars of the student's money but we don't have any data on what they really want. Our goal is to create a survey and to distribute them to 10,000 students. She would like the Senators to be a part of that. They're working with a professional firm to create it. She's doing research on the purposed tuition increase. She's looking at California and their increase. She said we should talk to our administration about where the money is going and how it will improve the quality of schooling. If it's linked to tangible improvement it would be good. Her office hours are posted and you can contact her any time. OFFICE OF STUDENT INFORMATION DIRECTOR TAYLOR gave his report. He said that the OSI page in the Rebel Yell went out faithfully as always.

It will be submitted for next week's meeting. He will attach it as it is. All the content will be there but not in the right order.

He showed the cover of the new Nerve and thanked the student for designing it. REBEL RADIO DIRECTOR GREENROCK gave his report. He got the computer working. He contacted the RJ about the event, but they never called him back. He will hold a staff meeting next Tuesday to get everyone on the same page. He wants to make a new flyer and to really get the dark side. For the holiday party we're getting a band to play reggae. SENATOR MAYER asked how many hits he was getting? 4 DIRECTOR GREENROCK said that the actual server keeps a list of the average listening time and log ins from all around the world. He said there were 1,600 streams. He reported the average listening time was 45 minutes. SENATOR MAYER asked about what type of marketing he was doing? DIRECTOR GREENROCK said that they're on the OSI page sometimes and he put up flyers, but he wants to contact his staff and maybe go with bumper stickers and create sample CD's. That's what he'll be working on over break and there will be an agenda item after break for them. SENATE PRESIDENT AMES QUIT A asked if there was anyway on the CD that when they pop it in could it pull up the CSUN website. DIRECTOR GREENROCK said he'd look into it.

Residence Hall Association (RHA) Liaison had no report Student Body President's Advisory Council Liaison report was given by JESSICA ADLER.

The newsletter that she showed the Senate last week, she said she could print it out for them to take to their classes. She started the December template already and if anyone has something going on she'd love to include it. If you have any questions about the calendars ask her. She said that the banners are being worked on with DIRECTOR TAYLOR for the spring. SENATOR HEEG asked if it was one calendar for each college or for all students? ADLER replied that she guess that would be something they'd discuss. A college calendar would be most appropriate, but Entertainment and Programming would be a generic one that everyone would want. Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) Liaison gave her report. She reminded them about World AIDS day November 25-December 1 and that Jacques Caledes will be 5 at UNLV during it. There will be free HIV testing during it. December 2-20 there will be an immunization clinic. SENATOR WEST asked what are the shots? SHAC LIAISON answered tetanus and MMR.
