Karaffa, CSUN Vice-President SUBJECT: Yell Stipends It has come to my attention there have been several infringements on past CSUN senate approved business. Jill Novak, CSUN Treasurer, informed me that $800 was paid for stipends to the Yell staff out of the General Expense portion of the budget. This payment is against the CSUN budget as approved by the Senate. In that budget it states that stipends will be paid out of 50$ Yell revenue and 35$ magazine revenue raised from solicited ads. (Copy of publi-cations budget attached) This is against the intent of the CSUN budget, CSUN Constitution and parlimentary procedure. The second infringement is over the Mass Communications Board approving salaries for members of the Yell staff. This is also against parlimentary procedure and the CSUN Constitution. The Senate has full responsibility and authority to approve stipends, therefore, these paid stipends will be brought to the Senate's attention for their evaluation. Please note the following quoted from the CSUN Constitution: Article VII, Part 10, Section D, Paragraph 3. "All appropriations of CSUN funds and those funds described in Article VII, Section 10, Paragraph A, Subsection 3, excepting any funds appropriated by the Board of Regents, must either be approved or disapproved by the Senate Appropriations Committee" before being voted upon by the Senate. If appropriations are approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee, then a simple majority vote will constitute Senate approval. If the Senate Appropriations Committee disapproves an appropriation, then approval by the Senate will require a 2/3 vote of the membership present." For your information, the function of the Mass Communications Board is that of an Executive Ad Hoc Committee, which means that the Mass Communication Board has no power for final approval of such matters. The Mass Communication Board reports its findings to the Executive Officers. From that point the Executive Officers can make recommendations to the Senate. The Senate has final approval over all stipends. Memo to Robert Stoldal October 22, 197^ Page 2 In hope that this letter will not be one of aggrevation to the Yell and the Mass Communication Board, it is my intention to allow the previously paid stipends. Do not feel that this means further stipend requests will be handled in the same manner or paid from the General Expense portion of the Yell budget because they will not. The Treasurer and I are in agreement on this point and will refuse to sign stipend requests from any budget portion other than those approved by the CE>UN Senate. cc: Dave Kelly, CSUN Publications Asst.
