CSUN FUNDING REQUEST FORM ORGANIZATION NAME: Circle K International (CKI) DATE: 10/06/1999 PERSON SUBMITTING REQUEST: Knathen Kambak POSITION: Treasurer E-MAIL: Knumber99@aol.com PHONE: 702.458.1360 REASON FOR FUNDING REQUEST: 1. SERVICE Project Supplies Supplies including working gloves, tools, etc. must be purchased because not enough of these supplies are provided when our orgamzation participates in house-building projects, clean-ups, etc. 2. Club Banner Our organization is a small organization, and in order to enhance its visibility on campus, we need to purchase a banner to post during events such as organization fairs and to post from the MSU balcony. 3. Membership Drive Materials Because our organization is small but growing, it is necessary to attempt to be on equal footing with larger organizations. So far, our club officers have paidfor membership drive expenses. Materials include copies of flyers, posters, etc. 4. Study Week Snack Break Last semester we hosted our first Study Week Snack Break in which we distributed FREE breakfast items to students in the MSU to help relieve the stress of study week. The project was an overall success. Materials include juices, coffee, doughnuts, bagels, cups, napkins, plates, etc. HOW THIS WELL BENEFIT THE UNLV COMMUNITY: 1. SERVICE Project Supplies CKI is an organization open to all UNLV students. Our major emphasis is SERVICE and by participating in service projects, not only do we provide a sense of community in Southern Nevada, but also enhance the lives of members and the UNLV community. 2. Club Banner Students will become aware of CKI, and in doing so have the opportunity to become involved in an organization that benefits the community and campus through service while meeting new people from all over the world. 3. Membership Drive Materials Student involvement is an integral part of the collegiate experience. By offering another means to get involved in the campus community through CKI, students can gain an appreciation for the campus community. An organization's membership drive is only as strong as the quality of the materials distributed as well as the exposure the organization receives. 4. Study Week Snack Break In an effort to help relieve the stress of Study Week, we provide FREE breakfast items to get students' minds' off studying and encourage them to take a short break for themselves.

SENATOR P. MORADKHAN visited the annex and we were the only ones around. Congratulations to DIRECTOR NYSTOM and STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK for an exceptional job with the technology fee. Congratulations to Alpha Gamma Delta for winning homecoming. I am really disgusted and insulted that items F and G went on for a half hour. It is an embarrassment when I defend CSUN and you all act the way you did tonight. And I am sorry that Jim has to be here for all of this. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK stated that DIRECTOR NYSTROM made her life much easier this past week and she wanted to thank him for his hard work. SENATOR CALLAHAN would like to be removed from sitting on her committee when her term is through. Since SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE DAVY is already sitting on the committee she will continue and that way there is no time wasted. Joesph Rios, Multicultural Student Affairs, wrote a letter thanking Student Government for the contribution to Rebel Reggea on October 15th. If you have specific questions concerning the Regents Meeting come talk to me I would be happy to discussion the meeting with any of you. The basketball seating will be given out soon. If you are interested please come and talk with me. I only have 20 tickets per game to gice out so I don't want to handle it wrong, if you have suggestions on distribution let me know. The open meeting law passed through executive board today. Action Items F and G are my concern for this evening. I am concerned not only for Jim having to sit here and waste his time but also that the student body saw the agenda that was posted. And is far as the Rebel Yell issue today, slamming my boyfriend and myself, I want everyone to know that it isn't true, the facts are wrong. My boyfriends job position has nothing to do with my position as STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT. SENATE PRESIDENT FISK stated that he doesn't need basketball tickets. He went to Pauly Shore and wanted to leave, but didn't want Pauly to see him and notice that he was leaving. In regards to item F and G, both STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK and I stood outside of last year's meeting. But this is a tradition, if you are unhappy with my decision be advised that I am 6 SENATE MINUTES 29-37/ October 25, 1999 up for re-election in May. Please do not walk off with name holders plates because they are expensive. SENATOR WHITAKER you have been a great senator and you will do great in the future. SENATOR AUGUSTIN you too have been a great senator and I wish you the best of luck. SENATOR BENEDETTO best of luck in the future. SENATOR AYONI am going to miss your weekly performances. SENATOR FECTEAU, I would like to honestly wish you the best of luck. To SENATOR PAJAKI am glad that I can now free up your Monday nights. SENATOR CALLAHAN best of luck in real estate school. And to those of you coming back for the next session, we are going to have a great year. X. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR AUGUSTIN in response to item F and G, we have been doing that since I have been a Senator. There is nothing wrong with having a little bit of fun on the last meeting. And if there was a problem than it should have been discussed before hand. Going back to the analogy about the cavity, he says that we should be thanking our student leaders for their work with the technology fee in the Rebel Yell. What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right. There will be second rate technology in the next few years without good technological improvements. Thank you to everyone. Individually thanked colleagues. And finally, he is not always the most cheerful guy around. SENATOR MAIETTA stated that he would like to agree with SENATOR AUGUSTIN'S comments regarding the Rebel Yell. It was completely maliciousness for the Rebel Yell to write those things about STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK and her boyfriend. I am pro leadership and the development of the whole, and he would like to applaud anyone who was involved with the Technology fee. I like Pauly Shore. Congratulations to SENATOR VENTURA and Jolene Teetel for winning homecoming King and Queen. The organized protest was a neat learning experience. For those Senator's who are leaving, thanks for working with me. And he owes this to SENATOR AUGUSTIN without which he would not have gotten involved in Student Government. Have a good week. SENATOR ANZALONE stated that it has been a pleasure being a Senator and that he never has been a political kind of guy. To STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CANEPA, it may have been a waste of time but in reality we only spent a total of 12 dollars. Furthermore, you took on a very reactive approach to this situation. Executive Board has made some positive changes and has really put UNLV on the map. Saturday, at homecoming was great, I had a good time. Pauly Shore affended everyone. SENATOR SCHROEDER stated orientation missed student government break out session do you have to be Greek to get in and they both had a interesting reaction I have been on the selections board and moved up to the senate remember the first senate meeting sitting there for more than half hour and then there is more taken I am glad to be back, sad that she can't say bye to colleague will get SENATOR BENEDETTO'S name right one of these days. SENATOR MC LAUGHLIN stated a rotation schedule for the basketball ticket would work best. Goodbye to everyone leaving and I am looking forward to the next seesion. I would love to spend money on a porsh but not willing to. Technology fee despite the 11% agreeed 7 SENATE MINUTES 29-37/ October 25, 1999 Executive Board support the students elected officials cheered and for the students and representations. SENATOR M. MORADKHAN stated she would like to congratulate everyone on a great job, and she cant wait until next session. SENATOR CALLAHAN was a little shy and wasn't very motivated at first and thanks for her expertise. SENATOR PAJAK stated that he actually did like senate wasting a few hours on Monday nights. He said that he cannot believe that anyone has a senso of humor until tonight. Thank you SENATOR AYON for all that you've done. I will be going to China in June so hopefully opening my own restaurant, soon after I come back. SENATOR GREEN stated that he is happy that the technology fee passed. He too is concerned about STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK's personal relationship being spread all over the Rebel Yell today. The Rebel Yell was completely inappropriate, and he is mad at all of them. Then he yielded the floor to DIRECTOR WAINSCOTT who gave her announcements as follows: there are 83 organizations recognized, 23 of which are on probation, and 19 are still pending funding requests. We can only fund 36 organizations per year, 18 each semester. This looks like there is going to be a big problem. SENATOR MAIETTA stated that he thinks that so many organizations are applying because it is an organized process now. There has been some talk about the budget. SENATOR GREEN told a joke about Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers. SENATOR BRINK stated that the hotel students are going to be cleaning up their building from 8 am to 4 pm on November 6,1999, looking for more people to come out and help. Thank you to everyone we are losing, there are a lot of great people who will be missed. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK, I am sorry about the article in the Rebel Yell. She does feel that they need to apologize to STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK publically. SENATOR VENTURA stated sometime around may when executive board was elected I had concerns leaving today and I will be a former Senator executive board is doing a fine job. The next set of Senator s will have a great year. It has a lot to do with the executive board and they should be recognized all the Senator s thanks for giving me the opportunity to give my opinion. I did win homecoming king and I think that I am glad to have worn and I am being very humble and I do feel I deserved it and it capped on my involvement thanks for your support for me becoming homecoming king. I don't know what it is like to not be a Senator or to have a Monday free and for six months I sat in the gallery and sat and heard the nonsense. Great year, if any of the business Senators are not eligible you may see me again I will be getting water daily because I am on the committees. ( 8 SENATE MINUTES 29-37/ October 25, 1999 SENATOR KNAPP stated that I hated being set up like that when you have something to say. Technology fee glad it went through and popular isn't always right and right isn't always popular. Congratulations to Jolene Teetel. Thanks to everyone. SENATOR BASTUNAS stated scholarship whatever works is fine with me. Rotation things sounds great thanks for working with me technology fee a quick turn around will happen too bad the regents didn't find the money elsewhere had a chand\ce to read this article on peck and boyfriend and hope they retract their comments good luck to everyone. SENATOR BENEDETTO stated his thands for all the support from all the senator s SENATOR P. MORADKHAN stated student athletic and ethnic student council were not here tonight. Pauly Shore good that they referbished the ham hall I had a chance to see it good job ot homecoming thanks SENATOR PAJAK and SENATOR AYON for entertaining us Peck I think that you should respond to the Rebel Yell It just sounds wrong. Best of luck fo rthe \rest of the semester SENATOR QURESHI stated exploration fair what? Good luck to those of your leaving peck as a student of media sad to see it happen notes on regents meeting Alpha Gamma Delta raised money for juvenille diabetes homecoming bitter sweet experience. SENATOR HAMBY stated a thank you to DIRECTOR GLANCZ for hard work with Pauly Shore and to STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK and DIRECTOR NYSTROM good job with technology fee and a Happy Halloween. SENATOR WHITAKER stated technology fee don't like this because we already pay for $50 on our tuition. Those that are returning to CSUN going to be great, but don't take yourself to seriously. Being a senator doesn't mean anything don't get a high head it is unfortunate that the senator were asked what they do to constituates you aren't able to do those things because there are policies that don't allow you senator s find lupoles that are in the system scholarships worked on last summer. His final thought was a Golf joke. SENATOR TURNER stated that he would like to thank the Senators that are leaving and didn't feel that I was serious about my job and when I did come into this position they weren't the most respectful but they do have my respect. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do and good luck to next sessions Senator. I am in favor of the technology fee and can't wait to see it progress. SENATOR FECTEAU stated his congratulations to SENATOR VENTURA on being homecoming king. It's great to see everybody. At first, I thought that all Greeks are losers but now I just think that some of them are losers. But I am still glad that I am not Greek. I have come to rely on SENATE PRESIDENT FISK and would like to thank him for the good conversations, I will miss you. And perhaps, I'll miss SENATOR AYON. I am planning on going to grad school. I am also glad to have worked with the MORADKHAN'S. He made a statement about each member of the Senate. 9 SENATE MINUTES 29-37/ October 25, 1999 SENATOR AYON stated that his final speech would be available on disk. He stated that he would like to applaud the Executive Board for taking a risk and choosing to do something that isn't the most popular measure. Commented about STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK'S relationship with her boyfriend. He then used a Supreme Court Justice as his example for this issue. He said that the Rebel Yell just goes too far. And that he knows STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PECK will rise above this rediculous article and comment seriously at another time. And he is sorry that she is being treated like this because she is also a student here at UNLV. SENATE PRESIDENT FISK you have done a great job "You know your s*#@. Great job STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CANEPA. And to DIRECTOR WAINSCOTT, you have revolutionized your position. DIRECTOR NYSTROM it is nice to see what a great job you are doing. And I am glad that you are almost as intelligent as myself. He stated that he has ha
