She stated that there should be seats for everybody there and there was not one for her. She also asked the Senators "When are you people going to grow up?" Donna Mills thanked the Senate for taking her suggestion and wearing red and silver and the school colors. Lindsay Stubor spoke on behalf of the other receptionists about the situation in the office. She stated that some of their hours were cut up to 60% and they have not been given any valid reason why this action has been taken against them. They also did not receive any prior written notice that their hours were being decreased so drastically. She stated that SENATOR CARTWRIGHT had promised that their hours would stay the same or be increased and that she also made derogatory remarks against two receptionists to CSUN officials. This makes it a personal issue instead of business reasons. Untrained receptionists were hired and given more hours than the receptionists that had dedicated themselves to the CSUN office for more than a year. She stated that this needs to be brought up so that it doesn't happen in the future. Some receptionists are only working 3 hours a week. They feel that this needs to be brought to the attention of the Student Government to see what they can do about it. Marian Mclaughlin stated that another thing that needs to be brought up is that one of the receptionists that was hired is Leia Cartwright's best friend. IX. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR KAWAZOE stated that it has been great working with VICE PRESIDENT VALERA and SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE and that they have been a great service to the campus and to the students. He wished them luck in all of their endeavors. He also stated that they got the figures in from UNLVino and they raised $90,000. SENATOR AUGUSTIN stated that he doesn't like giving a raise during the middle of the year. It sets a bad precedent and will snowball. He stated that he doesn't mind giving a raise but this is the time that they do it. He stated that it is not a job, but they have to have some time to do it. He stated that he had a constituent write him a letter about the receptionist committee and he thinks that there were some problems with the committee. 10 SENATE MINUTES 28-19/ April 27, 1998 He agrees with bringing the Student Services Director back, but if they ever do bring back the receptionist committee it needs to be structured in a certain way where things like this do not happen. It is not fair to certain receptionists and there should be standard operating procedures. He wished PRESIDENT MILLS good luck in the future. He also stated that he respects VICE PRESIDENT VALERA highly and that SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE is one of his best friends. SENATOR CANEPA stated that she agrees with SENATOR AUGUSTIN how things seem to snowball. She doesn't apologize for how she voted and voted the way her constituents would want her to vote. The Hotel College had their bi-annual environmental clean-up day and there was about 50 students who came out and helped. She wished everyone good luck on their finals. She also stated that it has been an honor to work with VICE PRESIDENT VALERA and SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE and wished them the best in all that they do. SENATOR JORY thanked SENATOR CECI for showing up this week. SENATOR COLEN stated that she is sorry that there was not enough seats. She stated that REBELPALOOZA was a great event and she can't believe the orange shirts sold out. It was also nice that she and SENATOR FISK didn't have to shut it down. SENATOR GARCIA stated that REBELPALOOZA had a very large turnout. He stated that Sunny and CCD put in a lot of effort and time into the event. He thanked VICE PRESIDENT VALERA for being there for his concerns and stated that PRESIDENT MILLS had some good and bad points. He stated that when he came to the Senate SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE told him that he would say something that probably wouldn't make alot of people happy and don't be afraid to say it. He wished all of them good luck in the future. He attended the Holocaust Remembrance Day and stated that it was a learning experience for him. SENATOR AUER thanked SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE, VICE PRESIDENT VALERA, PRESIDENT MILLS, and all the Directors for their hard work. She stated that she hasn't been a member of this body for very long, but as a member of the student body she realizes all of the time and effort that these individuals have put into making UNLV the kind of University that we all want it to be. She wished everyone good luck on their finals and with the Board of Regent's meeting. She also attended the Holocaust Remembrance and stated that it was a heartbreaking experience. She stated that the only way this can never happen again is if we all we remember what happened. SENATOR FISK stated that both REBELPALOOZA and the Holocaust Remembrance were good experiences. There is still no J.C. He has started substitute student teaching but will not be cutting back his hours or dedication to the office. He stated that he doesn't mind if the debates are long because they are getting paid to be there. He congratulated DIRECTOR FLEISHMAN and stated that he is happy for her. He wished the Executive Board all the best. He wished PRESIDENT MILLS all the luck in the world and the same 11 SENATE MINUTES 28-19/ April 27, 1998 to SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE. He commended VICE PRESIDENT VALERA on the job that he did and stated that he always stood his ground. He did an excellent job and will go far. SENATOR BINETTI stated that she also attended the Holocaust Remembrance and it was very touching. She attended REBELPALOOZA and it was a success and she congratulated DIRECTOR FLEISHMAN on doing a good job as Elections Board Director. She stated that VICE PRESIDENT VALERA will be missed and whenever she has a question his door was always open. He set an example of what the Vice President should do and she wished him luck in all his future endeavors. She stated that her vote on the Elections Board stipends do not reflect on her faith in the future of the Elections Board. She has faith in them but she has her reasons for the way she voted. She told SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE that there is another side to the room and asked him to please recognize the other side when it comes down to debate. She stated that she is looking forward to the new Senate President taking over. SENATOR CLEMENS stated that he was wavering about the Elections stipend, but SENATOR MILMEISTER convinced him that it should be $400.00. He stated that impeachment shouldn't sit over someone's head and PRESIDENT MILLS could have done a better job if he wouldn't have had to deal with that. He discussed nepotism and the receptionist committee. He stated that he also attended the Holocaust Remembrance and thought it was put together very well. Someone in the Review Journal attacked fraternities and he thinks that is unfortunate. He also thanked the functioning Executive Board members, especially SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE. SENATOR MILMEISTER stated that he has learned alot from SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE and VICE PRESIDENT VALERA. He stated that VICE PRESIDENT VALERA represents class to him. He would like an explanation of why new receptionists were hired when better receptionists' hours were cut. Regarding the Director stipends, he stated that they really don't know what the Directors can do and you get what you pay for. He and DIRECTOR AYON are doing something this week and he thinks everybody will like it. He also stated that he didn't see anyone at Utopia. SENATOR SHAPIRO apologized for disappearing the last few weeks. Ways and Means is meeting Monday at 6:30 p.m. He stated that he made a promise to VICE PRESIDENT VALERA about a year ago and he is going to follow through with the promise. He also stated that even though he and SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE never became brothers, he considers him one of his closest friends. SENATOR CARTWRIGHT stated that next week they are going to lose some very good CSUN members. She stated that SENATOR FISK was talking about pay raises and she honestly believes that he would be here if he was not making the stipend and fee waiver. She also believes that if it was ever on the agenda in front of him he would vote it down. She hopes they can find that motivation in their Directors. She also attended the Holocaust Remembrance.
