Approval of changing Senate Resolution 23-03 to include a Faculty Representative from the Greenspun School of Communication as a voting member of the Rebel Yell Advisory Board. This motion passed the Rebel Yell Advisory Board and now requires a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Senate. Motion to approve by Senator Bioxo, seconded by Senator Yohe. Senator Romero asks how the position came about? Senator Turner states that when we enacted this we did things on purpose. The biggest reason was to keep things fair. The faculty shouldn't have a say, this is a student paper. They can't tell us what we are going to do. Senator Smith asks who the current faculty representative is?

Senate President Benneman calls a 2 minute recess. The meeting is called back to order. Point of Inquiry from Senator Smith can Tom Flagg vote? Senator Turner asks Senator Smith to tell everyone why he voted for this? Point of Inquiry from Senator Fisher did the Board vote unanimously for this? Senator Yohe the whole reason for the whole thing was to straighten things out. The vote for the editor was controversial and the whole staff resigned. I will vote in favor of this. Senator Fisher states that at the time that we set up the Advisory Board was to make the best decisions for the paper. All the members shouldn't care who is paying for what. We need to look at what is in the best interest for the paper. I would be in favor of amending this to non-voting. I am in favor of having a better paper. Senator Bioxo states that this faculty person should be seen as an asset. Senator Yohe states that the person last year was the most level headed person on the Board and was very student oriented. Why not give them another non-voting member. I don't understand all the hostility toward the paper. We need to think about what the best thing is for the paper. If the Board wants it then let them have it. Senator Pobst asks if the faculty person now is from Greenspun? Point of Information from Senator Bioxo that all Professors of Communication fall under Greenspun School of Communication. Senator Martin states that we decided what the board should be and they voted unanimously to change that to be what they wanted. I think that it adds continuity and we should support what they want. SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-19 page eleven VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONT. Senator Stephenson states that the board voted for this and we formed the board so we should vote in favor. Point of Inquiry form Senator Pobst would this increase the total membership of the board? Motion to delete "voting" form the motion by Senator Smith, seconded by Senator Turner. Senator Pobst asks why Senator Smith is now changing his mind? Move into a vote on the amendment. Motion fails 2-12-1. Senators Smith and Turner in favor. Senator Pobst abstaining. Move into a vote on the original motion. Motion passes 11-5- 0. Senators Smith, Turner, Romero, Pobst, and Fisher opposed. D. Approval of, but not to exceed, $6,682.45 to pay for printing costs of a Student Financial Aid Handbook out of the 2705 (E&P) account. Motion to approve by Senator Siciliano, seconded by Senator Nalder. Senator Fisher asks what this is? He yields the floor to Judy Belanger the Director of Student Financial Services. Point of Inquiry from Senator Martin why the E&P account? Senator Fisher asks why we are paying to have these printed, why not the office that they came from? Where did you get the money to pay for it last year? How many copies are you printing? If we don't fund this then where will you get the money? Where has the money come from before? You can't solicit funds from off campus? Senator Romero states that this whole thing bothers me. Student Services wants all these programs but they don't want to pay for it. The firing of students as an ultimatum bothers me. I will probably vote for this but it bothers me. Senator Stephenson asks if this was funded by CSUN last year? I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes an annual thing. This could open up a Pandora's Box for the future. Not funding this could probably hurt a lot of students. Senator Martin states that this is probably the best use of money I have seen since I was approved to sit on the Senate. This money is going straight back to students. I will approve this every year, if it comes up. We should support this. Senator Turner asks if they could have someone else solicit funds to support this? Senator Biox© <?feJre€=> 4 1 - H a X - ^ "is, n o t e x . ^ i r i o en W-^- ~Vo ask us to bail them out of a situation. Dr. Ackerman has 2 slush funds-his and CSUN. This situation is SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-19 page eleven VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONT. similar to the Yolanda King issue. I don't know where these departments get the idea that they can come and ask us for money. Senator Nalder states that when she started school here she went to financial aid and it was very confusing because there were so many copies of different types of financial aid and they all looked the same. We are going to help 10,000 students for $6,000. Hopefully they will be able to get funding in the future on their own. Senator Stephenson states that he understands that the money goes back to students but other departments under Student Services will feel that it is right for them to come to us for money. There are other departments that are just as deserving of the money. Motion to table by Senator Turner, seconded by Senator Smith. Senator Turner states that he feels that this is a good idea, but we can find another way to fund this. There are other ways that are more economical and get the point across. Senator Fisher states that he is against tabling. Senator Smith states that he will not vote for $6000 for that brochure. We should table until we get a cost breakdown. Senator Romero states that everyone should have researched this before now. You should have taken care of your questions earlier. Senator Bioxo states that we shouldn't table this. This is not a point of how much money but where the money comes from. This is not our place to fund this and we should use this as an example to the rest of the departments on campus that we will not fund a program just because it comes before us. Senator Turner withdraws the motion to table. Senator Fisher states that CSUN-Students Serving Students is important thing to remember. The problem is how this program came around. Student Services created a program that they didn't think all the way through. How many times have people come before us and said that we funded the same program last year. We just raised Executive Board stipends we should have used the money to fund this program. Senator Vodrazka asks if there is a more economical way to copy the packet? Point of Personal Privilege from Senator Turner. Senator Pobst asks when did you print these last year? How many did you print last year? How much did you pay? Do you think that you can cut costs? What about advertising? I don't think that we should make an example of this because this is too important. Senator Smith states that he an sympathize with her predicament but he can't vote for it. Senator Yohe asks if she could list all the things that her department has spent money on? What of those things were the most important? I can't believe that they spent all the funds for their office. Once we approve this every office on campus SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-19 page eleven VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONT. will come to us asking for money. Senator Martin apologizes to Judy Belanger because the line of questioning has gotten out of line. Who care how much money we are going to give them. If the book will help students then we should pass it. It is an emergency and it is needed. Motion to call for the question by Senator Nalder, seconded by Senator Vodrazka. Move into a vote on calling the question. Motion passes 10- 3-1. Senators Yan, Yohe, and Pobst opposed. Senator Smith abstaining. Motion for a roll call vote by Senator Stephenson, seconded by Senator Yohe. Move into a vote on having a roll call vote. Motion passes 11- 2-1.

Approval of allowing the Executive Board to make expenditures of up to $20,000 for emergency items from June 1, 1993 to August 30, 1993. Motion to approve by Senator Nalder, seconded by Senator Smith. Senator Romero asks why we need to talk about this now? Senator Smith asks KUNV General Manager what the worst cost scenario for a new transmitter would be? Senator Martin asks what are emergency items? Senator Yohe states that he is in favor of this under certain conditions. We need to define what an emergency is. Move into a vote. Motion passes 12-2-0. Senators Yohe and Romero opposed. Motion to move back into the order of the day to New Business item F by Senator Nalder, seconded by Senator Mangual. SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-19 page eleven VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONT. Move into a vote.

Motion to suspend Bylaw 4 for a period of 3 hours until 11:29 p.m. by Senator Smith, seconded by Senator Bioxo. Senator Yohe states that we have Bylaw 4 it would be nice to see it used once in a while. Senator Stephenson states that suspending the Bylaw for 3 hours is crazy. We should wait until the next meeting. The Bylaws are there for a reason. Senator Romero states that the reason for this Bylaw is for you to research about what you are voting on. Let them come and talk about what they have planned and what they are planning to do. Point of Personal Privilege from Senator Rosenthal. Senator Pobst states that she doesn't agree with waiving the bylaw. Point of Inquiry from Senator Bioxo can they speak at the next meeting? Motion to call for the question by Senator Fisher, seconded by Senator Yohe. Move into a vote. Motion fails 8-5-0. Senators Yan, Pobst, Bioxo, Martin, and Romero opposed.

Motion to approve by Senator Smith, seconded by Senator Nalder. Senator Yohe states that there is nothing on the agenda that has to deal with students. Why do we need a computer?

Point of Information from Senator Fisher that this doesn't lock us in to buying this particular computer. Move into a vote on tabling. Motion passes 9-4-0. Senators Fisher, Bioxo, Smith, and Martin opposed. SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-19 page eleven IX. OPEN DISCUSSION SENATOR SMITH states that he never received an agenda for the Yell Advisory Board meeting and found out about it an hour before it was supposed to start. There is a difference between a $100 and 6,000. SENATOR YAN states that we were put on the spot about the handbooks and hopes that we won't be approached again. SENATOR STEPHENSON states that we as the Senate have the right to vote something down. I apologize for being late. I am leaving the option open for someone to replace me as the Chair of the Student Campus Safety Awareness Committee. I have been busy and have been neglecting my duties. SENATOR MANGUAL nothing at this time. SENATOR NALDER states that she won't be at the next Senate meeting so if you have any questions about what she has planned for E&P next year call her at home. SENATOR POBST yields the floor to the CSUN Business Manager. CSUN BUSINESS MANAGER SNYDER states that copies of the budget will be available to you next week. SENATOR POBST states that she likes this room but it is hard to hear people. SENATOR VODRAZKA states that he is glad that she likes the room. SENATOR MARTIN states that the point he was trying to make was that the handbooks were an emergency. The reason that I voted against the item concerning Delta Lambda Phi was not because I am against gay people, because I'm not, the item was to be an on campus fund-raiser and he stated that it was going to be off campus. SENATOR POBST wishes Senator Fisher a Happy Birthday. The party was a lot of fun. SENATOR BIOXO states that we have an awful disease and it is called redundancy. SENATOR FISHER states that he has been saying the same thing about redundancy for the last 2 years. Jami Nalder's phone number is on wall of the second stall in the men's room. The amount doesn't matter when it comes to items on the agenda. Whenever I talk to Alan "the oracle" Chastain he is always telling us about our dwindling budget. We need to continue to scrutinize people who come here asking for money. The score was 7. I voted against Delta Lambda Phi because the event needed more student involvement. My party was fun. Thanks to Helene and Chrisi for coming to my party and those who tried to get in. SENATOR YOHE states that redundancy is a problem when people go on and on and on and on about the same thing. It is not our job to bail out departments on campus because they don't have enough funding. The box is open. I will continue to grill anyone from the administration who comes here asking for money. I think there is a double standard here, my questions were ruled out of order even after I explained their relevance to the topic. I feel that my job as a Senator is being harmed. The Slick SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-19 page eleven IX. OPEN DISCUSSION CONT. Willy report has to do with Janet Reno because she uses child care to get to Hilary who in turn gets to Willy. SENATOR SICILIANO states that the handbooks were a good idea she had no one to turn to. Be ready to approve the Directors at the next meeting. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ROMERO states that he was really impressed that the organization came back to us to tell us that their event had changed. How long did we discuss the handbooks An hour and fifteen minutes. The account that it came out of is what I had a problem with. Just because we had money left doesn't mean that we should use it. It is the past directors fault that the money is still there. The roll call vote was not necessary and it was a waste of time. We all know that the votes are recorded in the minutes as to who voted which way. Have a good summer and you should hang out in the office it is really mellow. SENATE PRESIDENT BENNEMAN states that there are a lot of sarcastic attitudes in here and it needs to stop. You should have had the candidates speak and then talked about the Bylaw. This is just a signal of your lack of research. About the handbooks I feel that Student Services should pay for it. I don't like the ultimatum that was delivered that either we fund this of they will have to cut student jobs. The Yell Advisory Board decision was a tie but I broke the tie. I am glad that I voted the way I did. If the staff wants to quit then let them. Thanks for approving the raise for the Senate Secretary. X.
