Colletto RE: Travel Funds for Psi Chi As you know, the Senate refused to fund our request for travel funds at the March 10th Senate meeting. At this time I was informed by members of the Executive board to attend their next meeting to discuss the matter. At the Executive Board meeting, it was recommended that I call an Organization's meeting to approve the additional funding. The funding was approved at the Organization meeting on March 17th. The funding request was then put on the agenda of the March 24th Senate meeting, a meeting you promised to attend but did not. The agenda item was dismissed because the Senators refused to vote to waive the by-laws. The agenda item was not addressed until the discussion period, at which point*" the request for funding was not even considered. Several Senators were willing to listen to the request, however, some outspoken Senators refused to discuss the matter in a mature fashion. The Senators did not even respect the opinions of their fellow Senators, let alone show the decency of allowing me to present our request without rude interuptions. You were sorely missed at this meeting. You may recall that, at the Executive Board meeting I requested an accounting of the Organization funds. I had previously requested the accounting at the March 10th meeting and again requested an accounting at the March 24th meeting. I have yet to receive the requested information. We are very disappointed with the Senate's refusal to consider our request, even after we followed the prescribed protocol. We are also concerned that we have not received the requested financial statements. Hendr i ck Page 2 March 27, 1988 We are refusing to let the matter drop and would like you to consider the fol1owing: 1. The funds that we have requested are not unreasonable given the amount of student fees paid by Psychology students; at this time there are approximately 400 psychology majors at UNLV. 2. In view of the fact that the Student Senate is held accountable for their spending actions, it does not seem inappropriate to request an accounting of the actual amount received and appropriated at the discretion of the Student Senate. 3. The Academic Vice President, in agreement with the President, the Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, as well as the Psychology Department faculty have all agreed to provide partial funding for the trip, as they feel it is an excellent opportunity for UNLV to be represented at a scholarly function. We recognize that not all requests for funding can be filled, however, we do not feel that our request was fairly considered. We know there Is $3000 dollars available for organizations that has not yet been exhausted. We are, therefore, asking you to do what you can to see that our request is considered. We do not believe that bringing the request before the Senate again will result in a unbiased evaluation, and ask that you discuss with the Executive Board alternative methods of approving the funds. We also request that you provide us with an accounting of all CSUN funding. We are keenly interested in where our student fees are being spent. If you have any questions about the Information provided or our requests, please contact me at 451-6292. If you have not contacted me by April 11, I wi 11 schedule an appointment with the Dean of Student Services to discuss the matter. cc: Robert Ackerman, Dean, Division of Student Services CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS MINUTES SENATE MEETING 18-16 THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1988 4:00PM MSU 201 I.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Senate President Steve Evenson introduced Alfred Gomez saying, "I'd like to announce the presence of a revered figure within CSUN from years gone by a former Office of Public Information Director and Senator from Science, Math, and Engineering who has blessed us with his presence today. He is know serving as a special advisor to the president. Ladies and Gentleman, Alfred Gomez." Everyone clapped. "Further announcements. The American Civil Liberities Union last year put on a birthday party for the Constitution it was at Jaycee Park. They had approximately 2,000 people attend. This year they have come to us and asked us to co-sponsor with them. To have it. here at UNLV sometime in September. We intend to co-sponsor with them through Entertainment and Programming sometime in the summer, but this is just food for thought for you folks, uh, they had a lot of entertainment, a lot of food, a lot a good times, and it was a very good event. So we're looking forward to that sometime in September, but I wanted you to think about it. I'll pass around this flyer from last year's celebration so you can get an idea of what it is all about. Furthermore, uhhhh, I'll save that for that. You may want to announce to all your classes once again, unlike the Yell has done, uh that the Academic Calendar has changed, uh, we will be starting classes this year August 29th like every £' htf" school in the country, uh, which is the week before Labor Day. Uh, August 29th, that is fall. The semester will end December 17th, which is a week earlier then it would have normally ended, which means that we would have gotten out on Christmas Eve. And although I rarely take credit for things because of my humility, uh, Toby and I had a great deal to do with getting this through to Academic Standards Committee, along with Senator Bosma. Also, in front of me, for your information and for your classes, uh, Spring of 89'calendar, looks like this: We start January 16th, uh, we will get out, May 12th. Classes begin January 17th. We have a dead day, May 5th, before finals begin, that's a Friday. Spring vacation will begin March 18th and end March 26th, if you want to start planning now. Uh, but that was another accomplishment that the Academic Standards Committee can take credit for with Toby, myself and Mike Bosma. We were glad to get this through. The calendar basically looks the same until most of us will be long gone, so, hopefully. So, further announcements I hope everybody has a chance, I don't know if you send it to the Senate or not, she sent it to the Executive Board, here's a memo to Mike Mixer from Nancy Clark. Uh, I'm going to pass it around to the Senate today, for your entertainment and enjoyment. Starting with Senator Spicer. Be sure to read it as it comes around you'll find it most informfiLtive. Further announcements, uh this is the biggy folks, last week I gave you a copy of the bookstore report on the problems that we have had, how many of you have set up appointments with your department chairmen or Deans? Just as I thought. So what we are going to do; I told you all last week to set up appointments with your Deans or Department Chairmen to go over this with them. Senate Minutes 18-16 3/31/88 Page 3 Understanding that you folks are probably not as well aquainted with this, this is what I'm going to do: The meeting of April 14th, when we return from Springbreak, I will call it to order probably at 3:30 you will go meet with your deans and department chairmen between 3:30 and 4:00 or 4:15 as part of the Senate, I will take attendance again at 4:15 when I call it back to order, this is to make sure that you meet with them, because this is the only way it's going to get done and it will be very good for our Senate to get out and meet with these people. Preliminary indictations have it set up like this, and those of you who are on the Senate may want to write this down, Senator Clay you are scheduled to go to the Anthropology Department and meet with Dr. Swetnam. I have Senator Donovan who is not here, scheduled to go to Psychology. Senator Richmond, uh I haven't scheduled anything yet, but I will get back to you. Senator Carlson to go to Sociology, Senator Mangual to go to her chair, Dr. Cloud, Senator Sanchez to go to one of his close and personal friends Dean Wright. Uh, Senator Smith to go to English, uh Senator Bailey to go to Management, Senator Bosma to go to the Dean of the Business College." Senator Bosma announced that he would go toe the Dean of Accounting. Senate President Evenson said that that was fine. "Senator Spicer will then go to the Dean of Business. A trip I'm sure he has made many times before. Senator Lowe will go to the Economics Department, uh Senator McCinty I don't know were I'm sending her yet, maybe I'll send her to...I don't know. Senator Varela I don't know where I'm sending you either, But I'll get back to you guys. Senator Cozine you will handle the Education Dean. Senator Sakahara you both can go together, because that is what education is..just education. Uh, Health Sciences you have a lot of places to go to, Senator Hoffman, go to your Dean's office. Uh, the Hotel people will also go to the Dean's office. Science, Math and Engineering, Senator Ax will go to the Dean of Engineering. Senator Gottschalk will go to Biology, I'd appreciate it. Senator DaQuino to the Math Department. Senator Bailey asked, "Are all these poeple scheduled?" Senate President announced that, "I am going to make those, uh, Palma will make those appointments next week. If there are any conflicts or changes, there will be a memo in your box. Also, before you go I will brief you fully on this. And exactly what you are suppose to say and what not, I'll probably take care of that in open discussion if it doesn't take to long. The other thing that is going around is a list of committees and the people within CSUN and your phone numbers, uh if you have any changes please make them on this list so that we can enter them in on the computer. If you think your on a committee and your not on it put in on here if you are..vice a versa, you know how it works. That's going around too with the paperwork that I am sending around. Uh, Senate President Pro Tempore Spicer any announcements?" Senate President Pro Tempore Spicer said, " Uh, yes, hopefully by next week I'll either by over my pneumonia or I'll be dead either way I'll feel a lot better. May 1st, hey I just got the word were going to have a victory bash out at the lakes. That's a Sunday, so bring your scuba gear and your snorkeling equipment and a..what ever else it takes to have a good time, and that's going to be May 1st, did they move Easter to May 1st. And also Senate Minutes 18-16 3/31/88 Page 4 real quick I'd just like to uh, compliment uh, Senator Smith as the CSUN Fashion Plate of the week, and you'll know why a little later. Senate President Evenson asked, "are you in a magazine, sir?" Senate President Pro Tempore Spicer mentioned, "o yah, he is a stud. This guy w^re talking Mr. GQ, here. It's a university mag, and yes they did a couple of spreads here at UNLV and they used Senator Smith here. You really represent the Senate well. Next week we expect to see someother famous senator in a national publication. [Someone from the gallery asked if that was Greg Smith]. Senate President Evenson responded, "well received, but out of order nevertheless." Senate President Pro Tempore Spicer announced that that was the end of his announcements. VI. BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS Senate President Evenson gave the Academic Standards report. "UIJI, just had thatlmeeting today, urn we are..the book buyback thing is kind of moved now and will probably move back into announcements for a couple of seconds. Were are revisioning the policy for reinstatement after suspension. About 200 students or 27o of students are suspended after every university semester are suspended, about 50 of those are appeal every semester, um we are revising the policy toward^ that, and we have some findings that we will share with you as soon as we get something definite. Right now the committee is deciding whether or not we want to be hard or nice guys. Is that about right? Thank you Toby. With that board and committee report out of the way, I'll move back into announcements, and our CSUN President Kirk Hendrick." V-. ANNOUNCEMENTS CSUN President Kirk Hendrick announced, "I guess most of you have seem the letter that PSI CHI wrote to me. If you haven't it's interesting reading, you might want to read it. She sent it to me, under the misconception that I have the right or possiblity to give her other resources of funding and obviously you know that, that is not true. I apologize to her for my not being here last week, and I told her that I would be. But that obviously wouldn't make a difference in your decision. But I do want to tell you that I think all the reasons which you guys had were extremely valid, on something that CSUN has tried to instill in all of our funding over the last couple of years, and that is to make them show why they need it. I personally don't see any problem giving them the money, but again all your reasons for not doing it were very valid. I wasn't here, but from all the comments I've heard is that she wasn't treated very well. She'll probably be calling you at home to let you know about that, because they have several members who are upset and also they will probably be writing about it in the student newspaper. I think the only thing to remember is that you are suppose to represent your constituants and if v they do take the time, just try to be polite. She isn't ever to worried about the money anymore, she is much more concerned about the principle of the matter, and if she wasn't treated very fairly when she came here; she came with a dean or a department chair and they sat there for an hour and weren't recognized and had to leave. Then I guess you guys debated the bylaw or whatever and she just felt they did not get their right to voice their opinions. She was upset about that; but I'll be meeting with her tomorrow anyway. Senate Minutes 18-16 3/31/88 Page 5 I wanted to thank Senators Hoffman and Richmond. She said that you showed an interest and went down and talked to her, that was very nice. The other thing is that. 1 was told that you guys wanted to do one of the scholarships in the name of James Ohriner and leave the others open for future years. I think that, that is an excellent idea. This award came up kind of late after we had been talking about the scholarship and I think that is a very good idea to be able to do that so that in case there is other leaders in the future." VI. BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS Marco Varela announced that at the Academic Budget Committee three weeks after springbreak will be meeting. The meetings will be every Tuesday and Thursday. He needs input from the senators and their colleges so that he can tell the Academic Budget Committee what is needed. Tuesday the 12th there will be many things discussed, one especially will be the library, and Telemedia Services. The meetings will generally last about two hours. Senator Bosma mentioned that, "we are redoing the face of the OPI page and if you need something in it just let him know, but you need to give me some kind of direction on what you want in it or else I will do what I think is best. This is the only problem that I have encountered." John Fazi from Entertainment and Programming announced that "Springfest will be tomorrow outside. They have had some problems with the weather, so it has been indoors. On the agenda is some stuff from IFC, and I'd like to note that the individual fraternities and sorrorities don't come to CSUN for much." Senator Mangual arrived at 4:28pm. Toby Romer from the Video Yearbook announced, "when you come back from the break you will have a request for the money put into my account for sales purposes. Carl and I are going to spend the entire week in the editing bay. There should be 90-95% of in finished. Basically Greek Week and Graduation Ceremonies will have to be done." Rob Rosenthal of KUNV announced that, "as of March 31st KUNV has $12,414 in it's account. I don't know where that leaves us after the encumbrances for the rest of the year. This month were sponsoring two types of forums/debates on the 18th, it will be a debate and information session for about an hour." Kurt Hildebrand from the Yellin' Rebel announced that, "I am afraid to inform the Senate that unfortunately it doesn't look like we are going to get a Friday issue out. looks really bad some of our machinary went down earlier today and we called the repairman in and he is working right now, it looks like it could be about $1000 to $2000 dollars worth of equipment. Fortunately we have Springbreak to work on it, so April Fools have a nice day. I don't have any report." Senate Minutes 18-16 3/31/88 Page 6 Christine Mangual from the Publications Board announced that she did meet quorum but an agenda was not posted. There are know two openings on the Publications Board, since Mike Chastain resigned. If anyone is interested they need a few more members. Nancy Clark from the Business Office that Springfest wasn't doing well for profits, but they hope to have the event outside, to increase revenue. VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Senate Bill #16.

Entertainment and Programming is now full, Intramurals is always looking for help, Nevada Student Affairs is open, OPI - Bosma and Donovan can always your help in posting in posting flyers so that Chuck Smith and I don't have to do it. Chuck Walker and I, sorry. You guys look so much a like. Publications Board- Mike Chastain resigned. We have on Publications Board for your information: Christine Mangual, Mike Bosma, Dr. Cloud, Joel Ax, Lisa Story, and Kristi Carlson. Jennifer McGinty has resigned so there are three vacancies on the Publications Board." Senate Minutes 18-16 Page 11 3/31/88 Senate Minutes 18-16 3/31/88 Page 12 Senator Bailey asked, "Do I just have somebody come down there, because I have had a couple people come fill out paper iocntK.. Do you automatically consider them or do I have to go in there and beg?" Senate President Evenson mentioned, "a couple of students we've had like Geno, we're not going to'fappoint a lot of new p e o p l e t h e s e because they change over May 1. We are going to refill all of these committees May 1st, because the directorship changes. The Faculty Senate Committees will not change. These are the ones you want to listen'!' Academic Budget is Marco, Academic Standards is myself, Toby, and Tim Sauter; Code is vacant-they are the ones that decide the laws of the university regulations. Curriculum Committee- Kristi Carlson and Mim Clay; Disciplinary Action Committee has tons of members there, Ad Hoc Space Time and Utilitization Committee has me on it; Faculty Grievance we need a couple of people there; Financial Aid there is no one on it, so we have three openings. They meet at 2:30 Tuesday or Wednesday. If you know of anybody who wants to get involved in Student Government and sit through completely boring meetings for two hours this is for them. Parking and Traffic consists of Phillip DaQuino who is taking Kirk Hendrick's place^, because Kirk is such an early bird." CSUN President Hendrick replied, "they schedule these meeting so that I wouldn't come to them on purpose." Senate President Evenson mentioned, "Joel Ax and Jill Valenti are also on the committee. Admissions we need two more people, currently the only member is Brandi Hoffman. They mainly hear appeals and decide admissions criteria on the University. Intercolliegate Council is myself, Denise and Kirk. General Eductaion is Kari Cozine, who missed her first meeting, but we won't pick on her!'' Senate President Pro Tempore Spicer announced that, "I be illin'. Two things, I'd like to nominate for the vacant Hotel Chris Robertson; and it was mentioned that on the CSUN Scholarships We shouldn't give them all to dead people, hopefully because we won't have that many dead people and because there are people who are deserving to be recognized while they are still with us. Because of that reason I would like to introduce a motion for the Kirk Hendrick, not memorial, but the Kirk Hendrick Leadership Scholarship. I do this now instead of when he is leaving not to inflat his ego, because if we are going to give it out it may as well give it out so that they can correct the name, instead of afterwards saying 'o by the way that was the name'." Senate Minutes 18-16 3/31/88 Page 13 Senator Bosma announced that everyone should attend the Springfest tomorrow. Senator Varela mentioned that everyone should let him know about Academic Budgeting. "Kristi Carlson so far is the only one to approach me on the
