Speaking to you, the CSUN Senate, in regard to form(er) issues. I respectively request that you listen to what I have to say. At this past weekend's Homecoming game, at the previous week's football game, //unintelligible// (numerous) incidents of drunken and rowdy behavior during and after the games. There were over a dozen drunken fights during each of these games which are broken up by stadium security. Unfortunately, we also had members of our Student Government involved in this inappropriate behavior. Specifically, certain Directors and Senators were physically intoxicated and were acting in a confrontational manner and //unintelligible// in such a condition which was dealt with by stadium security and later brought to my attention. Even the Vice President was intoxicated //unintelligible// verbally abusive behavior and physically confrontational manner which ultimately led to stadium security removing him from the CSUN seating section. We cannot completely blame the students for drunken and rowdy behavior when they see some of our leaders acting that way too. Student leaders must act in a manner appropriate to the office as a whole. Those who drink excessively and //unintelligible// fights do not make up harmony in this...Student Government, and of all UNLV students. Students who cannot control how much alcohol they consume and drink to get drunk need controls in place to help them act responsibly. The representatives of the Sam Boyd Stadium and the Thomas and Mack Center spoke with me regarding these issues and they would like your input as well. Some ideas that were suggested were implementation of serving limits for alcohol beverages and creating //unintelligible// a BAACHUS chapter on our campus and allowing AA chapters to be on campus and supporting our efforts to help students who cannot control drinking. I am saddened that people in this room... who should have gotten drunk and acted in a manner which I would hope they would not have done had they been sobber. If students are to act and drink responsively, they should not be //unintelligible// Student leaders. Thank you." SENATOR FLEISCHMAN addressed the Senate, "Bear with me. It is hard to write and hard to say. For the past few years... I have been a Student Government official in one capacity or another. I am proud of the work that I have done and the work of CSUN. I have seen a lot of scandle: Boxio and the parking tickets, Pida wishing to be King, and Rosenthal who received the quote of the year. Through it all one thing has always been there - the group of togetherness of CSUN. Whether we all liked each other or not we took care of each other. In a lot of ways, CSUN has been my sororiety, my fraternity, my friends, and sometimes my family. We have always stuck together, until now. There is a member who does not wish to do their job and does not wish to work together. Until now I have always felt free to walk into a Executive Board member's office and talk politics, school, life, whatever. Even if we put aside the list of people with appointments to see their President and his failure to appear. Even if we put aside the fact that to my knowledge only three CSUN members appear to have received their game tickets for Homecoming. It should be noted that I never received my tickets even after publicly requesting them at the Monday Senate meeting. Putting aside that PRESIDENT MILLS tried to have a Director (not myself) tossed out of the CSUN section; putting aside all that plus more; and just looking at 5 SENATE MINUTES 27-28/ September 29, 1997 the overall picture; I feel that the time to speak is now. I, Leia Fleischman, have no confidence in the abilities of my STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT JOE MILLS. Thank you." //Applause.// Former SENATOR WILL PRICE addressed the Senate, "Hi everybody. I thought I'd take this opportunity... but in the time that I have right now I just wanted to say that I had a great run as SENATOR. It was fun. We did a lot of work for the students. I just wanted to tell you folks, see a lot of new faces, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, the Senate is doing a good job... I see the results of what of you folks are doing. The Senate is doing a good job... have confidence in the Senate because you... have the power... as long as you stick together and you listen to the students." //Applause.// The Senate recessed at 7:38 p.m. and was called back to order at 7:45 p.m.. VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE announced that there is no unfinished business. VIII. NEW BUSINESS A.

Motion to Approve made by SENATOR MARSHALL, seconded by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN. In response to questions, SENATOR HAYES stated that our logic on this one is that all of us are benefiting from the teachers that are going to stay within our state and it would benefit the state as a whole. She stated that it is for $250.00, an additional fee that placed on Student teaching last year in addition to the 14 credit hours they have to pay and they are required not to have a job during this time period.

EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. a CSUN Directors meeting took place. He stated that by the request of the Directors he has been asked to ask PRESIDENT MILLS for the Directors' tickets for the sake of distribution. He asked, "SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE, would that be okay if I did that now... PRESIDENT MILLS, would it be okay with you if I held the CSUN Directors' tickets for the sake of distribution." PRESIDENT MILLS stated, "Well, I'll address this during my public comment." VICE PRESIDENT VALERA added that last week he had two Liberal Arts students approach him about some problems they were having. He stated that one student had a problem with parking enforcement and was opposed to the process that in order for the appeal process to continue you have put down a deposit matching the ticket and the student wanted to see what Student Government could do about that. He then stated that he's already spoken with SENATOR MILMEISTER, SENATOR STARK, and SENTOR GONZALES. He stated that he'll be meeting with Sergeant Drake some time this week hopefully. He stated that the other student had a problem with Career Services because he apparently wanted to have his resume printed out and they're charging $30.00 for the use of their 10 SENATE MINUTES 27-28/ September 29, 1997 website. He stated that he'll be meeting with the Director of Career Services on Wednesday, Oct. 1, and wanted to invite the Senators to attend. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE informed VICE PRESIDENT VALERA that SENATOR MARSHALL is going to be the student representative on the Appeals Subcommittee for Parking. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN stated that regarding the parking issue she spoke to Sergeant Drake and gave his name and number to SENATOR GONZALES. In addition, VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that he has also received another Justice application; then he stated, "However, I cannot submit this to you, PRESIDENT MILLS, until advertisements go out on the OSI page. According to last week's Executive Board meeting, PRESIDENT MILLS will accept those applications as soon the advertisements go out. And to address PRESIDENT MILLS' public statement, I would like to... many of the Senators, ask me about what happened. If any of you have any questions just for clarifications sake because this is a matter of public record and because my name and the names of those other Directors that have been dragged into this, I'd like to clarify... this issue." In response to a question, he stated, "I saw DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN rather upset standing in front of the section where I was seated. I approached him and asked him what was wrong. He then told me that PRESIDENT MILLS had kicked him out of the CSUN section. Immediately following that... PRESIDENT MILLS and I asked him if he in fact had or had not kicked DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN out of the CSUN section. He didn't answer me, so I asked him again the same question. He didn't answer me, so I asked him a third time. When I realized I wasn't getting a response, I got up, turned around, and left. At no point was I ever excorted by any security from the stadium and, in my opinion, at no point was I being physically intimidating or aggresive in any way. I was seated right behind him. My hands were at my side." In response to another question, VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that the advertisements (for Justice) will be in the OSI page. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MILLS congratulated the Homecoming candidates and stated that he thinks that they all did a great job. He then stated that he'd like to congratulate SLOANE ARNOLD who became Homecoming Queen and JUSTICE MICHAEL "ZO" KAWAZOE who become King. In regards to the game, he state, "Every Senator who came to me and every Director and Assistant Director who came to me received tickets. I even waited outside the stadium (un)til 15 minutes after the game had started at the gate so that those who'd asked for tickets that had not yet come to me would have the opportunity to in and get the tickets. If people don't want to come to me and get a ticket, I can't make them. (For) people that reserved tickets, I was standing out there 15 minutes after the game (started). I did all I could do in that regard. I had stated at the last Senate meeting that I was giving tickets to those involved in Homecoming, those who were court members and past king and queen because that's., .their special day. This happens once a year... if you were in Homecoming, you would want your parents available to be able to take pictures of you..." In regards to this week's elections, he stated that he wishes the best of luck to all the candidates. He added, "I'm saddened that SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE would not approve flyers for some candidates because there have been numerous 11 SENATE MINUTES 27-28/ September 29, 1997 occasions when no members of the Elections Board were present in the office and that's why the Executive Board in its ex-officio status would be able to approve flyers. Personally, any flyers that were brought to me, I approved them. It didn't matter who the candidate was because everyone should get the fair opportunity of being able to campaign in a timely manner...and as I stated to DIRECTOR FLEISCHMAN, if there was something that was significantly an issue, I would reserve that right for approval to her board, but nobody brought me anything (other than) Vote For John Smith and had their picture on it or what have you, so there wasn't anything that I saw that was very objectionable." In regards to last week's Executive Board meeting, PRESIDENT MILLS thanked all the Senators who came to the meeting and he stated that the breakfast was really good. He then stated, "It was rather unprofessional of SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE in the middle of (an) unrelated discussion item to make the announcement for the record that he has 'contempt for me'. While this is not a shock to me because I've known this for three years, I think it was very unprofessional for him to interrupt discussion on an unrelated item to make that announcement for the record..." He added that the Crimson Ball was very successful and many students asked if we're going to have more balls in the future. He then congratulated DIRECTOR WIESSEN for a great job done. Also, in regards to the positions for Justices, he stated, "I've asked for a long time for DIRECTOR AYON to put an advertisement out... that's what we do for this position, these positions we've always put advertisements out... if we don't do that, we can't get selection from the students. In the past weeks, I know VICE PRESIDENT VALERA has stated that we've had 4 or 5 applications. Well, that's great, but... students on this campus who potentially might be interested, a large number may have qualifications. Many people don't know what's going on. They can't get involved. The last time that we advertised for a Justice position... we had 36 applications turned in just from having flyers put up. So, I think that it's important they we do put advertisements out and accept applications once those advertisements are put out... everyone should have the equal opportunity throughout the school to have that opportunity
