EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON: The trip to Reno for the conference with the colleges and universities of Nevada was poorly organized but it was interesting to see how the community colleges were organized. It's amazing that we don't have an advisor. Pictures, if you want them taken today, come and see me after the meeting. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ yields to directors. DIRECTOR ARNESON: I was out of town last week so I didn't get a lot done. But I will be in my office the rest of my term. I started organizing stuff I left behind. I got access to my computer. I'll start organizing tailgates and marketing. I have a new agenda item on the agenda today. If you have questions, please ask me. DIRECTOR MADRIGAL: Basically, the same as Aaron. There's lots of organization, a lot of filing and paperwork. I'm communicating with organizations about funding. Business Manager Hill and myself have been communicating. Plans are to get orientation packets done. DIRECTOR BLOOD: I have contacted a few agencies and am looking to have Susan Estrich and am holding off to hopefully get a bigger name. Planning registration drives for the fall. If anyone has any ideas for political speakers other than Michael Moore you'd like to hear, I'm open for ideas for November elections. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: The trip to Reno was okay, lobbyists for higher education in Nevada. We're trying to hook up with the guy down here that reports to him and trying to do some good lobbying this year. Michelle has a class at 5:30. She has a handout for you. We're more prepared for the directors this time. We sat through 7 hours of interviews. The candidate for OSI is working on campus until 5:00. PRESIDENT SCHUCK is in class until 5:00. Endowments: Senator Crawford brought to attention. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE: The shirts will be made starting tomorrow. I decided to wait another meeting in case people showed up and was hoping to include the directors in. All the stuff on the agenda that's usually per my name has amendments to them because committees weren't able to meet before this agenda. Be prepared for amendments. Hopefully it won't take too long. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: I'm disappointed that Ways and Means didn't meet today. I need them to wait after meeting. The chairman for Rules and Ethics, stay as well. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI and SENATOR JIMENEZ will give a report as their perspective as senators. She was impressed with bylaws. I will be gone from the 17th through the 27th.

SENATOR DONNELLY 2nds VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: I'd like you guys to move yourselves out of the position of friend. Go in the position of employers.

We have to do something. SENATOR CONWAY: I don't care if you guys just vote for him or not. I just didn't want my name dragged in the dirt. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: I at no point wanted to drag SENATOR CONWAY's name through the mud. They asked for a presentation and that's what we did. SENATOR SANTIAGO: You said you know what kind of problems new orgs encounter. In the last week, have you made an attempt to find out what problems Rebel Radio encountered last year? CANDIDATE WISTISEN: I haven't been able to speak to anyone that was on Rebel Radio. SENATOR MULLINAX: why couldn't you talk to anyone that was on Rebel Radio? I'm part of Rebel Radio.

SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: do you guys think that 2,1 think 1 would be enough. We don't need 2 at once. I don't bring people up for non CSUN business. I think we should change it to one guest. 18 SENATOR CAZARES: actually, Tim, this summer Tim, I've been using the CSUN chambers for group meetings. There is hardly ever anybody there. I don't see the issue if nobody else is up there. VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON: the reason we put that is so that it is still an open door policy but it gives us the right to be able to claim that space as theirs'. SENATOR ESPINOZA: I don't know if we can change it. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: at the same time if someone's being disruptive it's in your duty to tell them to leave or shut up. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: the language thing has been a hot issue lately. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI brought up a good point. It won't conflict if you as senators if you decide to make your own rules. SENATOR MULLINAX: I'd think we should get rid of that. In my opinion it's too vague.

That's crap. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: We could give them $3650 but you're going to tap every single budget. I just don't see how you do it in fy04. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: is there a way you guys can talk to Ham Hall? Did they say it has to be their own staff? I've been with groups who have rented out Ham Hall before and we were able to do our own equipment. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: we spent a little over 26k for organizational funding and he said there's probably gonna be another 10k spent so we have about 3k. SENATOR MULLINAX: why are you doing it in Ham Hall? KATIE BAKER: last year's feedback was unorganized. This just adds a sense of professionalism, I guess. SENATOR MULLINAX: there are other options in the fine arts department. SENATOR SUMNER: how many people were there last year? DIRECTOR SUMNER: there were about 200. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: if you do go back and see if you can get your own operators, I'll head up the whole technical staff. That'd be cheaper if you get your own staff. SENATOR CAZARES: how much did we give them last year? 20 PRESIDENT SCHUCK: I don't know what kind of marketing they're doing. If you want to wait 'til the next meeting I'll find out what we can do to make it good for us and good for them.
