Improve the Existing Program (General) a. Determine which programs have been the most successful in the past and retain them. b. Determine which programs, if any, have had weak response in the past; 1.) Due to poor promotion/communication? 2.) Due to lack of student interest? 2.) Improve existing programmed activities (Specific) Example: Try to improve the men1s basketball program by reducing the number of forfeited games. Encourage the sign up of players without teams, then have a tryout/draft to create new teams, and perhaps more importantly, to fill out the rosters of existing teams. 3.) Recruit a girl to act as an advisor to help beef up the Women^s Program. (Sherry Lynn Hahn has agreed to help me out in this regard.) 4.) Improve Communication/Promotion of the Intramural Program. a.) Better advertizing and promotion of activities and sign up dates. b.) Brief Judy thoroughly on the program and upcoming eventsr so that she may act as a clearing house of information when I'm not in the office. c.) Regular, daily office hours for myself so that I am available to the students. 5.) Explore the possibility of fund raising to increase the budget. Example: Participate in jogathons. 6.) Explore the idea of creating an informal advisory board to insure good input to myself.

The fourth meeting of the Consolidatedc Student Senate adjourned at 4:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Respectfully prepared by: Lorraine Alderman Senate President Rene Bernier Senate Secretary UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS SUBJECT: Executive Board Nominations There seems to have been some confusion 'the past few days concerning the decisions made by the Executive Board. Whether a vote by the Executive Baord is unanimous or by a two-thirds majority, the policy of the Executive Board will be that all decisions were unanimous by the three Executive Officers. This means that the Executive Board will support that decision unanimously just as the Senate must abide by its majority decision. If you have any questions concerning this policy, please do not hesitate to contact me.
