September 21 Board of Regents' Meeting President Campbell announced that at the September 21 Board of Regents' Meeting they took the M.A.F. issue before the Board of Regents as a non-action item on the Agenda. CSUN asked the Board of Regents to create a subcommittee consisting of the new Athletic Director, Mr. Negratti, somebody else from the Athletic Department, Regent John McBride, himself and one other student. The Committee will be serving to seek how to make the athletic fee more equitable to the students either by reduction or abolishment and this decision will be taken to the next Board of Regents Meeting on November 3. President Campbell further announced that at the September 21 Board of Regents' Meeting they selected a new Athletic Director, Mr. Negratti.

Mr. Negratti will assume this position officially on January 1, 1980. Vice President Wyman announced that at the September 21 Board of Regents' Meeting the Law School issue was brought before the Regents. The Regents' approved the formation of a Law School Foundation Committee and if possible the Law School will be built here in Las Vegas in 1982.

There were also two other Regents who were not a Regent at the time the endorsement of the Law School had taken place.

(Carol Tarpley arrived at 4:10 p.m. - excused.) Jeff Wild informed the Senate that it sounded like President Campbell was being swayed by the Regents' by compromising with them and this is not the student's mandate.
