C. Faculty Senate Committee Reports. 1. SENATOR SHAPIRO stated that the Code committee met last Friday and they didn't really take any action; all that they did was decide that they didn't know very much, so they are going to bring in experts and more information on March 21, time to be announced, and copies right now of e Grievance Policy between the administration and faculty.

SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE added that the parking permits were for election workers, the people who manned the polls and stuff. JIM MOORE clarified that approving Mr. Saunders as an interim employee is not something they can legally do; interim is a technical term used to described when you are going to put someone into a position until the job search is complete; he stated that they will place, in his contract, that he's a probationary employee, so that if we intend to discontinue his "vices we'll be able to give him two weeks notice; this means that the Senate will be able to make 4 SENATE MINUTES 27-11 / MARCH 10, 1997 up their mind by June 16 whether they wish to continue him or discontinue him. He thanked '"veryone for giving him some time to check out the fee waiver credits that SENATOR LIDEROS iked about last week. He talked with his supervisor and, unfortunately, it is not something that they can do. The Board of Regents' position on this is that those stipends and fee waivers are given to a position and while the person that's in that position can accept or decline those fee waivers, he doesn't have the option to bring a transfer; he stated that there are other options available once that money is transferred to him, ofcourse he can do whatever he wants. SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE stated that he could pay for his courses and then get the money from the Registrar as a refund. JIM MOORE replied that that is absolutely right. In response to a question, SENATOR LIDEROS affirmed that he is able to collect the fee waiver. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT[in accordance with N.R.S. 241.020 (2)(c)(3)] There was no public comment.

In response to a question, SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE suggested that for SENATOR LIDEROS to give a full 12 credit scholarship, they might have to make it so that he gets all 12 credits in the fall and gets none in the spring; that way he could use his refund for those 12 to set up the scholarship on his own maybe. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN suggested retabling the item to be able to rewrite it because of what they found out from BUSINESS MANAGER JIM MOORE. Motion to Table made by SENATOR PRICE, seconded by SENATOR SONG. Move into a vote. Motion to Table passes 23:0:0. VIII. NEW BUSINESS A.

Motion passes 19:0:4. (SENATORS FLEISCHMAN, HAYES, SOLOMON, and ANDERSON abstained.) / SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE suggested to organizations to make sure that when they bmit a funding request form that it adds up to the total expenses. C. Action Item: Discussion/Approval of Delta Sigma Phi Funding Request of $500.00 to be encumbered out of the CSUN 2702 (Gen) Account. (See Attachment 3.) Motion to Approve made by SENATOR TRUJILLO, seconded by SENATOR AGUERO. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN stated that she has a problem with us bypassing the rule about paying for somebody's philanthropy. She definitely wants this (good cause) to happen, but not this way. SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE emphasized that they are not actually giving the money to the little league organization, they're buying equipment with it. RICK WALLAS spoke on behalf of Delta Sigma Phi and stated that he and two other members are coaching this team and don't just want to give the money to them. Motion to amend the funding request to read "$450.00" made by SENATOR ANDERSON, seconded by SENATOR HAYES. A brief discussion ensued about how the funding request was broken down. RICK WALLAS commented on the coupon books and how that money goes back to the league.

In response to a question, RICK WALLAS stated that this event would benefit the university by (students) going and watching the games; it is open to anyone who would like to go; they would post flyers, game schedules, and use word of mouth to advertise the games. A brief discussion ensued about a disagreement between paying for a philanthropy and paying for an activity that upholds the community and our reputation as a school. SENATOR HAYES stated that what they are doing is basically a good idea, but if everyone of our organizations on campus wanted to sponsor a team, she could really see this getting out of control. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN added that her problem is not with the idea or not how it is going to benefit the kids, but her problem is with where the CSUN money is going and how it (the budget) is being spent; it is not fair to other organizations;" if we do this, ladies and gentlemen, you get to open a whole big can of worms that gets to say any organization that has a philanthropy that they need to donate money to come to us because we'll give that to you and you can just don't worry about it." SENATOR AGUERO stated that "the worst case scenario that we see coming out of this is a bunch of organizations come, volunteer their time to the community, and help out their little league organization. I mean I realize that a lot people go out and will just donate money, but these guys aren't just donating money. They're sponsoring a team, 3 guys or more, it sounds like, are going to go out and be involved with the team. Practice is four days | week. They're getting involved. They're not just giving the money to someone and they're rtainly not giving (the money outright) to these kids. They're sponsoring a team so that they can effectively be active in the community." SENATOR MOORE added that they "have at times given money to certain organizations like the band for hats. The whole point is we have given money to organizations that haven't followed CSUN rules. I think that's not even related to the point. The point is that we're trying to debate, as SENATOR AGUERO pointed out, this is a worthy, notable endeavor on the CSUN's part and I think it's an excellent investment of our money for an organization that's going to be giving back to the community." SENATOR FLEISCHMAN stated that it is all right as long as it's outside of the $500.00; "we are talking about the $500.00 that is allotted to each and every organization. They have to follow rules. If you allow for an exception, it is not fair to the other organizations." Move into a vote. Motion passes 15:4:4. (SENATORS PEREZ, FLEISCHMAN, HAYES, and SOLOMON opposed. SENATORS KNUTSON, ANDERSON, POOLE, and AMEND abstained.) D. Action Item: Discussion/Approval of the UNLV Anthropological Society Funding Request of $500. 00 to be encumbered out of the CSUN 2702 (Gen) Account.

EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS VICE PRESIDENT MILLS hoped that everyone had a good weekend, congratulated everyone on the elections, and stated that he will be leaving invitations in everybody's boxes for an upcoming banquet for end of the year. PRESIDENT ROSENTHAL stated that regarding the Preschool that nobody was opposed to the plan, they were opposed to the time; so his response to the Provost was that the program is fine and we'd support it if it waited until the Fall of 1998 and (they) continued the Preschool next year as is. He also announced that the registration policy now states that if you register for a class and drop it within the first week of classes you'll get a full refund, if you drop it the second week it's a 50% refund and then no refund anytime thereafter; what they're doing is changing a little so the second ;ek you get no refund if you drop anything, but they're extending it to six weeks so that you get a 8 SENATE MINUTES 27-11 / MARCH 10, 1997 50% refund if you drop everything; he explained the losses and gains of the change. He also stated +hat regarding the law school he'd like to contact the legislators about it today and all week we're 1 _,oing to talk to some of them; he wrote letters in support of the law school. He stated that regarding the elections, it will be a big transition and wants to see it begin the very next week after the elections are over and a two week period is not enough time; he wants to do a small inauguration to let the students know who the representatives are. Since the KUNV issue failed miserably, he stated that he is looking at alternative ways to find alternative money because it is going to need more money eventually. He announced that SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE had a lot of good ideas at the Elections Board meeting so he gave him (LAXAGUE) a big folder and notebook to do the research on it. Lastly, he stated that the NIT Tournament is having a reception before the game on Wednesday 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. in the Si Redd room; there will be tickets. If you are interested in going, please let him know. SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE stated that Aaron (PRESIDENT ROSENTHAL) gave him a list of 5 or 6 college radio stations in the West that are operated by students, so he'll be calling them and asking them on information how they're structured and how they operate, etc.. He stated that it is good to see that the elections didn't have any fines or complaints. He said that the key is to advertise for directors early, especially so that you can get the most applicants possible; the executive (board) will help out with advertising. He added that as student ambassador he gave a tour along with CARL COOK to a state legislator from Reno who was against the law school and had never been to UNLV; he thinks that the legislator is more open now to a law school. He stated that the law school is probably favored by the majority up in Carson City, but it is not an unanimously popular thing i ere. Lastly, he commented on SENATOR POOLE's situation in the residence halls. He stated that 1 /en though PRESIDENT ROSENTHAL and DR. PIPER agreed to work out a compromise and they talked, she (SENATOR POOLE) continues to be stone-walled at the bottom level by her immediate supervisor. He stated that hopefully they'll resolve the issue within the next week or so, so that she doesn't have to give up her potential RA job. XI. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR AGUERO congratulated everyone who made it through the primary (election); he realized that it is controversial to set precedence, especially concerning giving money to the organizations, but he thinks that when people come in here with ideas and innovations and using that money to benefit both the good of the school, the good of their organization(s), the good of the community, that is favorable in all ways, the Senate (should) precedent it in that manner. SENATOR TRUJILLO congratulated everyone who made it out of the primaries for the election; regarding the election fines, he stated that he didn't know if it was such (that) we had good candidates or lack of us actually finding fines that needed to be assessed; as senators you notice flyers being torn in half or people boasting over other people when they step down; this is something we should look in our elections board and think about that for the new executive offices coming in. He added that regarding the monies for the organizations, as senators, there is a feeling that we have to define our policy for how the organizations get money in terms of the travel and what we're going to allow and what we're not going to allow. He thinks it is time for us maybe to get a little more lidified in our procedures; there is an operations policy which no one can find at present. He stated 9 SENATE MINUTES 27-11 / MARCH 10, 1997 that even DIRECTOR BONGHI has talked about resubmitting a whole new policy just for the "emainder of the year. He stated that the Consensual Relationships policy is going to die the way he .anted it to; the Provost emphasized in an article that it will apply to everyone, even the students. He is interested in what their (the Provost) response is going to be after they submitted the policy. SENATOR ANDERSON stated that we have to look where the Consensual Relationship policy is coming from; it came from the status of women, perhaps that is not where it should have originated. She stated that she popped into the Senate Chambers when SENATORS LUTAR, POOLE, and SHAPIRO were talking about the O-Board; she thinks they came up with an interesting idea that if we maybe pay for a trip/registration/educational, they have to come and give us a presentation (on what they actually learned, resume-building) before we give them the money. SENATOR SHAPIRO stated that regarding the funding of the baseball team, he thinks it is a good thing that a can of worms might be open because he thinks a lot of the funding policies to organizations really suck. He stated that maybe we should reconsider those policies. He stated that SENATORS POOLE, LUTAR and himself volunteered on Friday night from 12:00 a.m. - 3:30/4:00 a.m. (for KUNV) and would recommended anybody doing that; it was certainly interesting; they enjoyed the music being played, it was chosen by the students. He added that he is still trying regarding the speed bumps; they've gone over there and decided which ones were bad and removed those and they say that the rest are good, but we'll see what comes of that. SENATOR GONZALES asked about referring a ballot question about the Consensual ?lationships policy to the students. SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE suggested that she submit it , an item for the agenda. SENATOR ANDERSON suggested advertising it in the OSI page. Then, SENATOR GONZALES asked if it was possible to advertise it in the Rebel Yell and SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE stated that they should hopefully. Lastly, she announced that on Thursday there is a Faculty Senate Scholarship meeting at 2:30 p.m. on the second floor of Student Services. SENATOR LUTAR stated that KUNV was a great experience and they had a lot of fun. She suggested changing the 15 days before an event that is required for an organization to submit a funding request to 15 days after the event so that they have time to prepare the receipts. SENATOR PERSCH congratulated all of the primary (election) winners. She stated that she is looking forward to going to "Anatomy of a Violation". SENATOR HUNT congratulated all of the primary (election) winners. //The rest of her comments are unintelligible.// SENATOR PRICE stated that Black Man Rising was good. He stated that the (Rebel) Yell funding went as he thought it would. He stated that he worked at KUNV on Saturday and had a lot of fun. He emphasized the importance of staying in contact with students at KUNV to get their feedback because they will work with Mr. Saunders. He added that he is working on a policy with DIRECTOR BONGHI. 10 SENATE MINUTES 27-11 / MARCH 10, 1997 SENATOR LIDEROS commended SUNNY MARTIN because of her organization of Unity Tam/Unity Fest and how successful it was. He thought that Black Man Rising topped it off. He urther stated that he is in the process of contacting the Regents to get their voice, and they have given him input and asked that anyone contact them for assistance. Lastly, he announced a party on April 11, including a band, food, but no alcohol, for Herb Wells. SENATOR CAMBPELL yelled, "Go Rebs!". SENATOR LOPEZ stated that they were victorious regarding the Unity Fest, and the Wine Club on Wednesday made about $400.00. He regretted not attending Black Man Rising. He stated that the Provost told one of the faculty members that they weren't even going to hire part-time teachers. SENATOR KNUTSON congratulated all of the primary (election) winners and encouraged everyone to go to the game. SENATOR LEHMAN congratulated all of the primary (election) winners and she thinks the Unity Jam will turn out to be a good tradition at UNLV. SENATOR AMEND commented and joked about VICE PRESIDENT MILL'S lack of suckers for everyone while trying to get votes. SENATOR STARK told everyone to have a good week. SENATOR SONG asked questions. In response, SENATOR LIDEROS stated that the party for Herb was in the Engineering building, and SENATOR PEREZ stated that she will give him a copy of the itinerary for the Retreat. SENATOR SOLOMON congratulated the primary (election) winners. In a response to his question, SENATOR PERSCH stated that the "Anatomy of a Violation" is April 3 in the ballroom, $2.00 admission. He stated that Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:30-5:30 p.m., is good for him regarding Campus Safety and Awareness (the meeting times.). He was happy to announce that their College of Education Dean Search meeting with the Provost is 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Also, he announced the St. Patricks Day parade on March 17; he's in it.

In response to a question, SENATOR AMEND stated that there hasn't been any Faculty Admissions' committee meetings yet. SENATOR HAYES congratulated the primary (election) winners. She asked SENATOR PEREZ to place the Retreat itineraries in their boxes. In response, SENATOR PEREZ stated that at the end of the week, she'd place a generalized itinerary in the boxes. She stated that she thinks it is exciting that the Preschool responded to
