Eckankar Students Society of UNLV ($60.00) Bruce Bayne moved to disapprove the request, and was seconded. Senator Bayne informed the Senate that his reason for disapproval is that he feels that this type of activity is one of religious concepts, and feels that this would benefit only a limited number of University students, and not the whole student body, and the main reason for Matching Funds is for the benefit of the whole student body. Bruce Bayne then called for the question, and was seconded by John Hunt, however, the motion failed. A few of the Senators also felt that CSUN should not allocate money to a religious program. John Hunt then called for the question, seconded by Danny Campbell and failed. Discussion took place, and Peggy Burnhain called for the question, was seconded, and failed. President White expressed his opinion by revealing that he felt that the Senate should not take any action on this request until a letter from Dr. Seidman comes down stating the legalities of allowing Matching Funds to such an organization.

TRI-AD COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 10, 1978 Dr. Christianson Mr. Dan Celeste Mr. Kerry Kindig Cindi Kiser Bill Hornbuckle Danny Campbell Pat Moreo Danny Campbell brought in to discussion that a language course be part of the cirriculum in the Hotel College. This course would cover basic languages, spanish, French, German and possibly Italian. He spoke to Mrs. Moreo about this, and the course would cover basic "Hotelmen's Talk" but the response was not positive. Mrs. Moreo felt that the Language Department would not respond favorably to this. Danny then suggested that a language course be part of the Hotel College requirement. Dr. Christianson suggestedthat a few Hotel College Professor 1 a getting together and writing a language course for the Hotel Students to take. He felt that a few faculty members tht spoke a second language could team teach a course in "Hotelmen's Talk". This would be a six or nine hour requirement. Danny then remarked that a language requirement would upgrade the selectiveness of our Hotel Degree. Dr. Christianson explained the'importance of a second language and remarked that many employers are taking crash courses in languages so that they might be able to speak with their employee's better. Bill Hornbuckle remarked that if the Hotel College departmentalized itself ie. Food Service, Hotel Tourist, etc. That the language requirement could be in the tourist level. The second topic brought in to discussion was that Nutritio^ Courses and Sanitation Courses be taught in the Hotel College. As electives in the Food Service department. It was brought into discussion that maybe a extension of our internship program could be to have students follow along with a health inspector on one of or several inspections. It was suggested that a letter be drafted to Dr. White at Cornell University, and ask for his text book and course description of his sanitation course. Another suggested course was one on grooming, and how to deal with a Hotelmen's job. This course Would include alcoholism "th"2 l°nS hours involved etc. Also suggested was a class on Uniforms, and "signage" Etc. The Bartending course now offered on campus was dicussed and it was suggested that Jack Stafford President of the Bartenders Union Local 18 9/186 be informed so that he can suggest it to his fellow union brothers as a refresher course. The Third topic brought into discussion was the Hotel College building a Hotel on campus for the students to run. This idea was abandoned when Mr. Moreo explained that we would be hurting the college rather than helping it because by putting a hotel on campus, v/e would be in compitition w i t h a 1 1 t h e o t h e r Hotels. And since most of the major hotels help us in many ways v/e would be defeating our purpose. Mr. Moreo also explained that the new Hotel/ business building would have a few hotel rooms in it. The fourth topic discussed was that more accounting courses be req.uired in the Hotel College. It was unanimous decision that the students aren't learning enough in the Hotel Accounting course that is taught now. It was suggested that maybe we could get a teacher out of the business college to teach Hotel Accounting for the Hotel College. But it would have to be a teacher that was completely familar with the Hotel Accounting proceedures now used. If a teacher could not teach the course, maybe he could help in setting up the course.
