Elections: Sabrina Sumner I'm working on rewriting a lot of stuff; operating policy. Big thing is looking into purching voting machines for elections. They're about 3k a piece. 6 costs the same as renting so we get money back. Also I'm looking into bringing in online voting. Change staffing options. It cost 3 times as much in the past so we're looking into getting students or staff to volunteer. SENATOR JIMENEZ: How much does it cost to buy them? That's how much it costs to rent them? Interesting. iii. Entertainment and Programming: Aaron Arneson Right now my department is going through a lot of planning and I'm meeting with a lot of people trying to get events set up tor this fall. Friday, we discussed welcome week. SENATOR DONNELLY and I will work together to put together Welcome Week. I talked to PRESIDENT SCHUCK about getting more ownership of events during welcome week. We're gonna try and do an after pary at premier on Wednesday night. In middle of contacting SDSU for Rebel Road Trip. New for dept this year. Also began Casino Night planning. Other than that, SENATOR HOLMQUIST and I have been putting together a marketing packet for this year. Start planning for Rebel Kickoff and Rebel Ruckus. I know youre going over the budget today. Production costs and entertainment costs go up two or three points every year, to keep throwing events.. .my budget's been cut pretty drastically this year. iv. Nevada Student Affairs: Sherrelle Blood I've been contacting a lot of people. 0922 in fireside lounge?? I'm working on the tradition lecture. I'm waiting for a proposal. I want to do a Rock the Vote concert. If they have enough entertainment we'll do a concert probably in September. I'm working on Kenneth Starr. I haven't been able to get ahold of our contact. I'm also working on Project Vote Smart. They come to campus and give voter education lecture. My assistant is on the agenda. She couldn't be here today because she had to work. Pelase consider her. There's a test called the national political awareness test. A lot of candidates refuse to take it. Governor Guinn refused 6 times, Bush refused 23 times. It's to see if they're willing to inform voters and constituents about their views on issues. SENATOR CAZARES: Are there any tentative board meetings? 4 DIRECTOR BLOOD: not 'til August. If you have suggestions, let me know. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: whatver your budget ends up being, I totally know you can collaborate with other depts. on campus. Go get 'em. v. Office of Student Information: Michelle Beurdet I'm working on redesigning Rebel Radio website. The CSUN website, we'll have archived election results. I'm trying to get all CSUN members on the web. I started organizing, working with Eric. Each director should have their own website where they can post meetings and agendas. I'm looking for assistant director. vi. Publications: Michele Muscato I organized all my stuff and started working on the MAC. I tried to find archived editions and we do have them. I checked out a website for the magazine. Jotted down ideas for it. I'm working on recruiting members of board and an assistant. I spoke to Justin George. It's going to be close on the budget. It will cost about 10k per issue to print at that quality. I would like to look into more extensive marketing so peole other than students know about it. I'm working on acquainting myself with software. Also working on my goals and plans for next month and the coming monthe as well, checking out submission packets as well. SENATOR JIMENEZ: How many magazines do we have left? DIRECTOR MUSCATO: tons. During events coming up during first weeks o school won't be out until almost December. My goal is to have it out the firswt week of December. We have a few issues left from previous semesters. I would like to get rid of old ones by passing them out. SENATOR JIMENEZ: handing them out with scantrons is a good idea. But a lot of people will throw them away. DIRECTOR MUSCATO: that's why I thought about handing them out to people who would be more interested in them. I'd like to have some done that way handed out with scantrons. SENATOR ESPINOZA: what about trying to put them around the community around campus? 5 SENATOR MUSCATO: We have a lot going with 100 year Las Vegas, corridor in downtown, that's somewhere we can advertise and promote for December when we have a new issue out. SENATOR ESPINOZA: I thnk we could put them downtown, Rebel Subs. SENAOTR CONWAY: What about freshmen taking tours around campus? DIRECTOR MUSCATO: that's a good idea. SENATO R SUMNER: Have you thought about not printing so many of them? DIRECTOR MUSCATO: Definitely. That was one of my questions I wanted to talk to Justin George about. Printing in batches. I need a cost and timeline. SENATOR SUMNER: I'd say go that route. So we're not wasting money or supplies. 1 SENATOR CAZARES: If you're waninting to get rid of them you can give them out at 4th of july. vii. Rebel Radio: Tyler Wistisen The past two weeks I've been getting used to the office. There was a lot of stuff I couldn't find. I called Vegas Audio. Installed Flash on the computer for the website.

We met about reflection pool. It won't be done. It's not feasible with water restrictios. They're designing a new something to replace it. It will be the same equivalent type of awe. If we did rebuild it, we wouldn't be able to run it because state wouldn't allow it. I will be in contact for next couple of months. SENATOR ESPINOZA: as far as sate not allwoingt us, is it because of drought? SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: lakes are all drained. They don't expect it to get better.

See attachment 34.23.01 SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: moves to approve SENATOR ZANDER 2nds SENATOR HOLMQUIST: can that come out of Campus Events? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: this is out of 04. SENATOR CRAWFORD: wasn't BUSINESS MANAGER HILL gonna pass out...? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: yes. BUSINESS MANAGER HILL passes around budgets. SENATOR ESPINOZA: is that amount same as last time? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: that should be the adjusted amount. It was 5k. SENATOR SUMNER: can someone tell me how this is gonna improve the quality of the show? KRISTA BAILEY: for many years, the Rebel Variety Show was held in the MSU ballroom. The set up isn't as nice as Ham Hall because of the ease of coming and going. The sound can be rather challenging. We're hoping that moving the show to Ham Hall will attract more people to come. It truly increases quality. It's not something where you come and go as you do in the ball room. SENATOR SUMNER: it's just a drastic move from a ballroom to Ham Hall. KRISTA BAILEY: It was a unanimous decision to move it to Artemus Ham Hall. The point of the show is to enjoy it. We're trying to market the show more for alumni, faculty/staff, students. It's a challenge, but we're aware and ready to make it work. SENATOR SUMNER: somewhere along the line we need to document the difference between last year and this year. KRISTA BAILEY: this year we're actually swiping the Rebel Card. SENATOR CAZARES; how many people went last year? 10 KRISTA BAILEY: about 500. A lot of pople came for homecoming points and left. I put together a fact sheet if you want to take a few and share. SENATOR CAZARES: how much did CSUN donate last year? KRISTA BAILEY: none. SENATOR CONWAY: I think it would be better over there. It's a good idea. SENATOR ESPINOZA: I was going to say the same thing. If you can make it bigger, better, badder go for it. SENATOR BOWERS: if we don't give it to you, where does it come from? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: comes from student life budget. SENATOR MULLINAX: something that would help is a quicker turnover rate between each performance. You're going form like 500 to like 3500. If there's only one person on that stage it's gonna swallow them up. Make sure the people who do it understand where they're going to be doing it. KRISTA BAILEY: this year's homecoming is like a gigger; The land for 50th year anniversary needs to be much bigger than Rebel Ruckus, it needs to be like a campus wide event. To get alumni and students together. We need to increase number of people. If there are people interested in people with expertise with Ham Hall and planning, please you should be a part of that. SENATOR CONWAY: are you worried about people showing up to this? KRISTA BAILEY: we're working closely with alumni association this year. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: move to amend by inserting after variety show: cost to be encumbered from Rebel Radio Contract budget and cost to be encumbered 2702 FY04 before as submiteed. SENATOR CONWAY 2nds. Amendment PASSES unanimously.

See attachment 34.23.01 11 SENATOR ESPINOZA: I know PRESIDENT SCHUCK is working on a database of e-mails. You might want to contact him about that. KRISTA BAILEY: good idea. Thank you. SENATOR MULLINAX: this can be utilized as a great recruiting tool. SENATOR SUMNER: thanks for being so well prepared. 13-0-1 Motion PASSES SENATOR CRAWFORD was out of room. D.

As submitted by Senator Cianci. See attachment 34.23.03 SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: moves to approve SENATOR CRAWFORD 2nds SENATOR CRAWFORD: moves to amend SENATOR SOLDANO 2nds SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI and SENATOR SUMNER oppose 12-2-0 Motion PASSES SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: if you have questions, PRESIDENT SCHUCK and VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ have spoken to him. If you have questions, please I'd like to yield the floor to him. BLAKE DOUGLAS: these guys approached me last week, ultimately the space is CSUN space. As the person in charge and with responsibility, the 12 more people with access to ares, the greater a liability it becomes. The first time something happens, those with access become the number 1 people we talk to. One of the things I'm charged with, I need to know whose in the facility at all times. If there's a fire, earthquake or whatever could occur. I have not researched this next concern: the Nevada open meeting law. People applied a Nevada open meeting law against those flying in for the Board of Regents meeting. I think the business of students should be conducted during business hours. I would ask that if you support this you use the access wisely. I would suggest using your access wisely, and not a s a place to hang out. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: the greatest responsibility lies on ourselves to show we can have access without destroying things and not locking doors. Also suggested trial run to see if we can handle. Maybe we can have an amendment stating that whoever the responsible person is can give a report if anything does happen. So if we do misuse, we are held responsible. SENATOR ESPINOZA: I like that Sunday-Thursday idea. Do you need a key or pin number? BLAKE DOUGLAS: It depends what time of day you're coming in. SENATOR CONWAY: Will each senator have different pin numbers? BLAKE DOUGLAS: something you make yourself. I'm the only one besides yourself who knows what it is. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: move to amend inserting under 2a, create #3 to read shall have access Sunday through Thursday. BUSINESS MANAGER HILL: why don't you put it as #1 SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: okay, sunday-thursday after work; SENATOR ESPINOZA 2nds SENATOR CAZARES: just because it keeps us out, e-board stil has access Saturday and Sunday. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: reasoning is so people don't come and do schoolwork. It keeps 22 less people off the list. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: i don't know why you have to come after hours. Blake brought up great point students don't have access if you're up in that office at night. It creates a huge problem. It only takes one piece of 13 equipment. Someone can easily come up there and thake something while you're on the other side. You have pins on your cards. Even if you do lose your card, if they can get into the stair well, you can still get into the stairwell. SENATOR ESPINOZA: sometimes, you don't have time to do what you need to do in the day, so we have o go up there late at night. Why can't we make it so we only have access to one stairwell? It seems like you guys are scared to give us any responsibility here. You're worried that we can't lock the door. Sometimes afterhours are the only time I would be albe to get things done. SENATOR CAZARES: are you in favor of restricting access to directors also? VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: I believe directors should be able to meet their deadlines working in their offices. DIRECTOR BLOOD: are we not getting access? are you taking that off? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: reads bylaw 76. SENATOR SUMNER: if we had our assistant directors, it'd probably be with us working so they don't need it. DIRECTOR ARNESON: mine'll need it. SENATOR SUMNER: about Sunday through Thursday thing. It's either all or no access. Sometimes I get here early and I'd like access. Be careful of what you wish for, though, because the first time something gets broken, you're gonna regret that you passed this. BLAKE DOUGLAS: my concern is not with what's on the third floor but people having access to the back stairwell. SENATOR HOLMQUIST: doesn't it automatically close behind you? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: yes. VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON: I don't think there's a problem with access. We're all willing to let you in. If you try to get in and we don't let you come in. is there a way we can give them access to only the Senate chambers door? BLAKE DOUGLAS: yes, but I ask for your patience in doing that. SENATOR MULLINAX: SENATOR SUMNER is right. I've been here early and I couldn't get in. There are few people in here who have to be here. If 14 you can't do it, make arrangements to do it. I don't think we need extended hours. Time management that's all it takes. We're still students. We don't deserve special treatment. SENATOR MULLINAX, SENATOR CAZARES, SENATOR SUMNER, SENATOR SOLDANO, SENATOR BOWERS, SENATOR ZANDER, and SENATOR HOLMQUISToppose SENATOR SANTIAGO, SENATOR CORPUZ, CONWAY abstain 4-7-3 amendmet FAILS. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: I think SENATOR MULLINAX and SENATOR SUMNER hit it on the head. You do need access to the senate chambers. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: access downstairs to upstairs, I'd hate to come here and find out something happened to one of you. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: let's drop the blowing open of the door. Don't talk until someone calls on you. Would you still accept 24 hours without the Sunday through Thursday? it's necessary because of hectic schedules people have. I know my schedule is reataurant industry. Because my constituents can't see me, doesn't mean I'm now working for them. If you can't trust us, then I don't trust you e-board and that includes myself. I don't understand these arguments of how irresponsible the senators can be. SENATOR MULLINAX: e-board and directors have a lot more to do. as a whole, more responsibility. 10% will screw it up for everyone else. We as a senate don't need access at 2 in the morning. If you're going to school all day and you're going to work full time at night, you're gonna need access. SENATOR ESPINOZA: yields to SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: I've only seen directors out there during the twilight hours. With acception of protemps, I haven't really seen senators up there. If you can't be up there at 10 o'clock. Sometimes all our business is during the day. What director are you gonna find regularly at three in the morning? They still wil be able to at 7-3. I am more than willing to back you all up. SENATOR ESPINOZA: I'm not saying that I'm gonna be here every other day at CSUN at three in the morning, it would be nice to have the access when I do need to be here. I can try to sneak in CSUN business in that time. 15 SENATOR SUMNER: everyone needs to stop messing with what time other people are here. I'm in favor of all or none. There should be no restriction on it. If you are in favor of this, just you yourself don't be in here, if you don't need to be in here. Stop judging what people do in their life. SENATOR ZANDER: I really agree with SENATOR SUMNER. Is there a way to choose if people want the access or not? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: you can choose not to take advantage of it. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: Blake's the administrative head. Right now you don't' need a bylaw. If you need individual access, you should have your cards encoded. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: The problem is in the future, every senator who comes in, it'll be a streamline thing. Create in bylaw something that says with written consent of president, or I could even issue a memo. BLAKE DOUGLAS: I need it in writing from Henry for anything involving access. SENATOR CAZARES: if we needed temporary access, not permanent access? SENATOR CONWAY: seems to me like the e-board thinks senate is irresponsible. I know I won't be there at whatever time of night. I'm sure you don't want to be up there at 2 in the morning doing nothing. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ keep stressing the administrative leadership of PRESIDENT SCHUCK. But if he doesn't like you then you're S.O.L. I think those who don't want it, don't turn in your card. If you're already on there, tell him you don't need it anymore. SENATOR ESPINOZA: we've been talking about this way too long. If there are any more amendments, make them. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: we don't trust you guys??? I never said that. So I'm refuting that. I don't think your'e irresponsible. Half of you are elected and the other half are appointed. You've never proven to be irresponsible. Mistakes do happen. You're human. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI, did Monica give you access? I'm just saying it would never happen. I think you're creating such stringent guidelines nowadays, people opting out of it. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI 16 just proposes this MSU access that I can only see hurting us. SENATOR MULLINAX, time management. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: Move to amend after 3 administration and compliance add d, the assistant director of MSU facilities upon request shall give reports of whose had access to the MSU. SENATOR CAZARES: are there security cameras? BLAKE DOUGLAS: No. SENATOR ESPINOZA 2nds. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: you can't dictate what someone who is not a CSUN member can do. You can have someone request a report. SENATOR SUMNER: if someone was missing that's what you'd do. BLAKE DOUGLAS: it's a pretty standard operation. SENATOR MULLINAX: 75 % doesn't want it. I've heard one person say it'd be nice and one person on e-board say he wants it. let's drop this whole bill. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: withdraws.
