Approval of Minutes A motion was made to approve the minutes of the 35th meeting, seconded by Scott Hoover and passed unanimously. IV. Executive Board Announcements Marshal Willick, Speaker of the Senate, corrected the number of this meeting to number one (1) instead of No. 36 as shown on the agenda. The Speaker then announced that each Senator is to check his/her mail box prior to the Senate meeting and pick up his/her folder for use at the meeting. He also announced that anyone graduating should notify him in writing so that he can present their name to the Yell. He reported that anyone graduating auto-matically loses his/her senate seat. Chuck White, CSUN's new President, reported he has some good ideas for this year which will make CSUN a representative body for the entire campus. He further announced he has a couple of things lined up to keep the Senate completely informed. President White informed the Senators that they will all have to be seated on at least one committee — and if they have any preference — they had better get their names in early. A list will be out shortly showing all openings on the various committees. He announced the Executive Board that met May 1st, had given Colleen Newton, Yell Editor, a two weeks interim for the next two issues. Joe Matvay requested that the list of committee seats open be ready for distribution by next week. The Speaker announced that the newly elected class Senators would be taking office on May 15th. Minutes - Senate Meeting #1 May 2, 1978 Page 2 Rob Neilsen asked that the Senate be kept up-to-date on the committees at all times. The Speaker then announced there were two priorities — 1st, the Constitution revision and 2nd, the By-Laws. Ken Holt will not be around, so there is an opening for his position, if anyone is interested. He asked for anyone with any ideas, please present them to him. V. Committee Reports a. Union Board Gene Russo was absent due to a death so Dave Bergen gave a short report on the Snack Bar bids for renovation. He reported the first bid that came in was for $170,000. The Union is trying to keep the cost down to $150,000. b. Activities Board Tim Herlosky announced there were three senatorial seats open on the Activities Board. Applications can be picked up from Helen. Joe Matvay asked for a report on the Mardi Gras and Tim answered that it was very successful. c. Radio Board Tim McRoberts stated that all of the Radio Board would like to welcome the new Executive Board. He then reported that the Radio tower will be on top of the Humanities Building. Dr. Baepler has given his okay and the FCC is in agreement. Because of this new location of the tower, the power will be cut to 15,000 watts if they go to a 30 foot tower. This power cutback will not effect the station, however, because the original location was 25 miles outside Las Vegas -- where this will be situated in Las Vegas and get the same coverage. He will give a full report at the next meeting. There was a short discussion regarding cutting down the wattage, but Tim assured them that the three engineers all said it was feasible if put on top of the Humanities Building. Joe Matvay asked what had been decided about the mobile home for the station and Tim answered that a manufacturer was working on a package deal and he would be able to report on it soon. The President announced there were openings on the Radio Board for those interested. He also reported they plan to operate a carrier cable to bring KULV into the Union building. VI. Old Business a.

Building Rob Nielsen asked what had been done about the unpaved parking area in front of the Athletic building and the Speaker reported they are pursuing the matter and awaiting an answer to a letter from the owner of that strip of land. Four Physical Ed Credits Richard Simms asked about the P.E. requirements and the Speaker replied that you can graduate this year without having four P.E. credits. Rebel Statue Dave Bergen inquired about the Rebel Statue. The President reported they will have the statue but they plan to run a campaign for a new Logo, new mascot, and perhaps they can get a statue that all will agree upon. CSUN/USUNS Survey Ingred Hegedus inquired about the CSUN/USUNS survey. The President gave a short report on it and said they did get some input on it and are now in the process of tabulating it. Rebel Statue Joe Matvay brought up the subject of the statue again with regard to the financial end of it. The President replied that right now the statue is in Limbo. They still have to raise $21,000 but it is no longer CSUN's responsibility but the Athletic Department's. Montyne has been told about the controversy and has not started the actual building of the statue. Dave Bergen inquired about a refund to the Organizations who had donated money toward the statue. The Speaker replied they can't refund money that has already been spent. The Executive Board has not reached a decision as to how they should handle this matter but will give a report when they have reached a final decision. Mandatory Athletic Fee Dawn DuCharm asked about the voting results on the mandatory Athletic Fee. The Speaker replied that the students did not have the correct information when they voted.

University Senate Seats Open Dr. Cassese announced that the next University Senate meeting would be next Tuesday, May 9, and they have a petition signed by twenty faculty members to do away with the student's seats. There is a move to make it a faculty senate. The Speaker replied they planned to put in interim appointments in the Senate for that week after a discussion at the Executive Board meeting this week. This came about because of the problem they have with the nomination and confirmation and the fact the Senate will be skipping a week. It will be placed Minutes - Senate Meeting #1 May 2, 1978 Page 5 on the agenda for the week following (May 23). This will enable them to have a full slate of people so they won't end up losing their representation for the vote and, at the same time, if anyone present can talk to any of the people from the administration or faculty, please do it — for if they lose those seats, they lose the only bit of juice they had. Parliamentarian The question was raised regarding the position of Parliamentarian by Richard Simms. The Speaker replied that the Executive Board is presently examining the position of Parliamentarian and if anyone is interested in that position, please apply immediately. Mr. Slocum will not be legal advisor next year. Ingrid Hegedus asked for permission to be excused from the meeting. Desert Cleanup Joe Matvay inquired as to what had happened with the Desert Cleanup.

UNLV is hosting this convention and they are requesting $1,000 from CSUN. $2,000 has already been spent and they are budgeted to spend $6,000.
