Seconded by Senator Romero. Motion to make a friendly amendment to add to the motion, "contin-gent upon the placement of signs stating that it is funded by CSUN in conspicuous areas" by Senator Duran. Maker and second concurred The Chair yielded the floor to Wendy Starkweather, AUL for the library: requested the funding in June, and sent a figure of $3500. Please amend to read $4400, which is due to the fact that the computer lab will be open 24 hours during finals as well. Please note that the lab will not have tutors, nor will there be a laser printer, but will be the same as during the day through finals week She suggested last June that both semesters be approved as a whole early to prevent last minute voting. She explained that the signs do not have CSUN's contributions on them due to the fact that she did not want to seem to be forcing a vote for the money, but that now the funding has been approved, Student Government will be advertised as the sponsor, and asked what conspicuous meant. Motion to amend to read "$4400" instead of $3500 by Senator Bark-huff. Second concurs. POINT OF INQUIRY by Senator Romero: who has access to the computers and what for? President Colebrook: students use them to type papers and do their proj ects. There was further discussion with Senators Duran and Huang voicing support for the need of more computer access and time. SENATE MINUTES 2 2-04 PAGE THREE (5 ) VIII. NEW BUSINESS, CONTINUED CALL FOR THE QUESTION by Senator Barkhuff, which passed by voice vote. Motion carried by voice vote. Motion to move out of the order of the day to New Business, Item N by Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman. Seconded by Senator Romero. Motion carried by voice vote. N. Approval of Wavey Reed as Assistant Organizations Board Director. Motion to approve by Senator Nalder. Seconded by Senator Romero. Senate President Pro Tempore yielded the floor to Wavey Reed. POINT OF INFORMATION by Director Whitstone: Wavey Reed is not at the meeting. Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman yielded the floor to Director Nick Whitstone: Wavey Reed was elected by the Board after a run off election. He is on the Entertainment and Programming Board. I endorse Wavey Reed for my Assistant Director. Senator Romeros is it possible to table the item (directed through the Chair to Director Whitstone)? Director Whitstone: it is fine with me. Motion to postpone until the next Senate Meeting by Senator Fisher. Seconded by Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman. Motion carried by voice vote. E. Approval of a 12 credit fee waiver for the Assistant Entertainment and Programming Director from the 9 03 account. Motion to approve by Senator Nalder. Seconded by Senator Duran. Motion to make a friendly amendment to 14 credits by Senator Duran. Senator Duran: the reason I want it amended to 14 credits is that all Semester Maxie has worked with Director White without pay, and while we can't reimburse him, it would be a good gesture of thanks on the part of the Senate. POINT OF INQUIRY by Senator Nalder: what is the normal credit fee waiver for Assistant Directors? Senate President Kennedy referred the question to President Cole-brook: none were set for Assistant Directors, but we set twelve for the semester. Maker concurred to the amendment. Senator Barkhuff: this is not against either Maxie or Warren, but wouldn't that make it a co-directorship, as it is what directors receive (a monthly stipend and a fee waiver)? Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman: my impression is that when Maxie was first asked about the Assistant Directorship, that the request for a higher stipend was to prevent a fee waiver, and confirmed that Maxie was paid for both November and December. The tape of that meeting was mysteriously and accidentally erased or taped over. Senator Nalder: I spoke to Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman about it, and that is why I wish the minutes were verbatim. POINT OF INFORMATION by Senate President Mike Kennedy: I remember the question and the answer, but there just isn't a tape. Senator Romero: wasn't remuneration for the E & P Assistant Director $150 per/month and 24 credits? Senator Fisher: I'm in favor of the motion, because I think he does a good job, and the credits won't kill us. Why wasn't it budgeted? SENATE MINUTES 2 2-04 PAGE THREE (6 ) VIII. NEW BUSINESS, CONTINUED Senator Dubowsky yielded the floor to Director White to speak. Director White: Maxie never spoke, I spoke for him. Senator Dubowsky: I don't understand...do all Directors and Assistant Directors get stipends and fee waivers? Senate President Mike Kennedy: all Directors get monthly stipends, not all Assistant Directors get them, certain larger departments get stipends, or fee waivers, or both, according to the former system, but the Assistants get them to a lesser degree. Senator Duran: I speak in favor of the motion, and reminded all that the Entertainment and Programming Director is also in favor. Senator Stuhff: Call for the Question.

Senator Barkhuff: is it like the one that Senator Bunin put together last year? Assistant Director Maultsby: it is much bigger, and has only an opener and a headliner. Senator Romero: through the Chair to the Business Manager, is there enough money to organize this? Lori Snyder, Business Manager: yes, there is. Senator Nalder: Warren, is E&P going to be charging? Director White: yes, we are. Senator Booth: How did it go last year? Assistant Director Maultsby: last year we had Tommy Davidson, and it went okay, the promotion wasn't good enough.

SENATE MINUTES 2 2-04 PAGE THREE (7 ) Senator Duran: will E&P be charging for this event? Director White: yes, and that there is a list of bands to choose from.

Assistant Director Maultsby: last semester there were two comedy shows, and the last one was very successful. Motion carried by voice vote with Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman declining to vote per Robert's Rules of Order pertaining to vote eligibility. J.

Senate President Mike Kennedy recessed the meeting at 5:02 p.m. Senate President Mike Kennedy called the meeting back to order at 5:12 p.m. Senator Huang: will E&P be charging for the lecture? Director White: it's free. Senator Fisher: I am against the contract as it is something that I don't believe in. The reason I am voting against it is that at the Orlando, Florida convention, Jesse Jackson, Jr. spoke, and that as a powerful speaker, he was able to sway the audience in his direction. I don't feel that it is a good idea to bring a speaker in who, due to his strong skills as a speaker, can fundamentally cause the listener to lose the power to make their own decisions, and that he is against having someone come to speak that can potentially change opinions and the Constitution. Senator Stuhff: Are you against this a® you areopposed to gun control? Senator Fisher: Yes. Senator Stuhff: We should have speakers who represent many different sides to an issue to allow the students to form their own opinions. Senator Fischer: It is important to have someone like this speak. Senator Booth: If we were to bring in someone who was; against gun control, would you (Senator Fisher) be for it? That isn't fair to the students. SENATE MINUTES 22-04 PAGE THIRTEEN (8) VIII. NEW BUSINESS, CONTINUED. Senator Fisher: I'm a Senator, that gives me the power to make these decisions. Senator Barkhuff: We discussed all of this when we encumbered the money. Remember when KUNV brought stuff in concerning the war. Opinions and ideas are your own, and regardless of whether or not you are for or against the issue, everyone should have the option of being exposed to it. Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman: I agree with Senator Fisher, I am against this lecture and feel that the issue is over-publicized. Everyone hears about the Brady amendment, and that I am more upset over the bandwagon everyone has jumped on concerning the Brady bill. Everyone has missed the crucial element which is that the guy who did it got off free on an insanity plea. Energy should be focused on the Criminal Justice system instead of on who owns guns. Senator Nalder: The item we are approving is the contract. I per-sonally am against but I feel that he should have the right to speak. Senator Dubowsky: There is a situation which Senator Fisher speaks of, but it is a psychological effect that makes the listener who is against the issue even more against, not swaying them to the side of the speaker as Senator Fisher thinks. She stated that the Constitu-tion is here for everyone, not just Senator Fisher. Senator Romero: Through the Chair to Director White, what are the actual costs? Director White: $10,000 plus trip expenses, not to exceed $3000. Senator Romero: I understand both positions, but feel that E&P should make an attempt to bring both sides of the situation to campus. Senator Duran: I agree with Senator Romero, and want to see stimu-lation of both sides of the issue in discussion, and want E&P to bring both sides to campus. Senator Fischer: Director White should bring in an NRA speaker just to be fair, if he is to do it right. Senator Ortega: These are all good points and opinions, but if some-one has something to say about the issue, go to the speech and ask the speaker yourself. Vice President Pro Tempore Smith: The issue that the Senate needs to consider is the contract, not the speaker, or the money, which has already been approved. Senator Dubowsky: Call for the Question. Passed by voice vote. Motion carried by voice vote with Senators Benneman and Fisher opposing. Senate President Mike Kennedy moved out of the order of the day into Announcements. President Colebrook: I want to thank the Senators who came to the CSUN opening, and was disappointed and upset that some did not come. It was a really good ceremony, and Dr. Maxson and Regent Sparks were there. There is a Board of Regents meeting today and tomorrow here, and it would be great if the Senate could attend to listen as you would learn a great deal. I am pleased that E&P is doung things in SENATE, MINTUES 22-04 PAGE NINE (9) IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED advance. The Senate tape erased...I didn't like that. It was an honest mistake. Every month I pick an outstanding student of the month. This month it is Pamela Briand, the President of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity and a Judicial Council member, she is a mother and homemaker, is a returning student and carries a 4.0 GPA. POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEDGE: Senator Booth left the meeting. Senate President Mike Kennedy moved back into the order of the day. VIII.

Approval of $700 out of the 900 account for a typewriter. Motion to approve by Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman. Seconded by Senator Huang. Senator Nalder: I think today is a beautiful example of the need for verbatim minutes, and I think that they used to be done. Today is a perfect example. There is a lot of discussion and I want to see what was said. I feel that the Senate should feel the same way. Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman: There was a problem with the tape today, but that does not normally occur. All the tapes except this one are in order, I checked. The situation that is under discussion at this time is the need for an updated typewriter, not verbatim minutes. The situation about the old type-writer is over and beyond the minutes. The Senate Secretary does official letters, forms, as well as the minutes on the typewriter. The tapes are not the point. Senator Romero: what type of typewriter will it be? Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman: it will be similar to the ones in Student Services. Motion carried by voice vote. SENATE MINUTES 22-04 PAGE THIRTEEN (10) VIII. NEW BUSINESS, CONTINUED D.

Motion to make an friendly amendment to increase the amount to $5395 by Senator Barkhuff. Maker of the motion and the second concurred. Senator Fischer: Are you able to sell all of the shirts? KUNV Manager Rosenthal: Yes, we can sell them all, except for a few. Senator Dubowsky: Why not all of the shirts? KUNV Manager Rosenthal: Some are given to the KUNV staff and to listeners as promotions. Senator Dubowsky: How many are sold and how many are given, away? KUNV Manager Rosenthal: We sell about 1100 and give away about 200. Senator Duran: Do the funds go back into the 901 account? KUNV Manager Rosenthal: Yes. The shirts can be bought by anyone. They will kick off the drive which starts March 6. They will also be made available at local record stores. Motion carried by voice vote. L. Approval of a $5000 encumberence for a computer system from the 900 account. Motion to approve by Senator Romero. Seconded by Senator Stuhff. Senate President Mike Kennedy passed the gavel to Senate President Pro Tempore Benneman. Senate President Kennedy: This encumberence is for a computer system with more graphics and for more publishing areas. We don't have one that is up to date, we are in the dark ages. It will, he a central, general computer for CSUN staff and business. Senator Huang: What type of computer will it be? Senate President Kennedy: I am not sure yet, that's why it is an encumberence. I would like to set up a consultation for computers, over the
