Adjournment Due to the lack of further business, the twelfth meeting of the Consolidated Student Senate adjourned at 4:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Respectfully prepared by; Lorraine Alderman Senate President Rene Bernier Senate Secretary UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS SUBJECT: Senate Item Submission Policy; Bylaw Proposal #8 DATE: July 20, 1979 In discussing Bylaw Proposal #8 with the CSUN Business Manager, John Purvis, and Vice President, Lise Wyman, it has become clear that this proposal is unworkable as long as Item E of Article I remains a part of the proposal. By requiring a two meeting delay on actions concerning the disbursement of CSUN funds,we would throw the Business Manager's Office and the various Boards and Committees into a state of financial chaos. Furthermore, it is clear that the intent of Item E is covered sufficiently for the time being by Item F which requires a two meeting delay in the approval (or disapproval) of the annual budget. Therefore, I support Vice President Wyman's proposed amendment to delete Item E of Article I of this proposal and respectfully asking for your support of the same. This deletion would stand until a compromise amendment can be worked out by the Bylaws Committee, the Business Office, and the Appropriations Board. Since I will be out of town the week of July 23, please feel free to contact Ms. Wyman concerning this matter. 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 TO: All Senators FROM: Jeff Wild, Arts and Letters, Vice Chairman of Bylaws rjb CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: It has come to my attention that certain Senators have been doing their homework as well as maintaining mischievous attitude during the Senate Meetings.
