Davis stated that he had a meeting with the Assistant Director of the MSU and he was made aware that union is owned by students and belongs to the students. He has been disrespected by 2 staff members and that is why he had the meeting. The primary focus of the University is students, not staff members. He hangs out in the MSU television lounge and he has been told that this lounge is probably going to be eliminated. He feels as though the elected officials in Student Government should be able to ask questions about profound changes that will affect the students. IX. EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS SENATE PRESIDENT FISK congratulated the new Directors. He stated that some of them were very difficult to decide. The Senate is losing some people tonight and he is feeling left behind. SENATOR LAZAROFF might remain until August. He stated that the Senate will miss SENATOR MORGAN and her work on Campus Safety and Awareness has been noted. They 7 SENATE MINUTES 29-21 /May 14, 1999 will also miss SENATOR RAFF AIL and he has enjoyed working with her. This last year was the first time he was really proud of Homecoming. It was the first year that a nontraditional student has a seat on the court and that is something to be extremely proud of. Her contributions to the Senate have been numerous and we are going to miss her. He stated that he and SENATOR BINETTI have been a duo in Student Government for quite awhile. They ran together 3 elections ago. He is happy he has had the opportunity to serve with her. He thinks she has done an excellent job and she has taken a lot of hits for things that she had nothing to do with. She is one of the most moral people that he has ever been affiliated with and they are going miss her. He wishes her all the best and thanks her for sticking it out because it is very difficult sometimes. She has taken a lot of undeserved hits. X GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR CLEMENS wished everyone a wonderful summer and stated that he is going to miss all of the graduating Senators. SENATOR MORGAN congratulated the Directors. She stated that she is going to Costa Rica for the fall semester and she is really excited. She will be back and it has been an experience. She thinks that we should remember that what we do here is important but probably in the whole scheme of things we are not. We shouldn't worry about what we get out of it but what we can do here. She wished everyone a great summer. SENATOR MAIETTA stated that he hopes everyone did well on their finals and congratulated the new Directors. He stated that he is going to miss the Senators who are leaving and wished them good luck. SENATOR GARCIA wished everyone good luck on finals. He will miss SENATOR BINETTI. He wished good luck to SENATOR MORGAN in Costa Rica. He also wished good luck to SENATOR RAFFAIL in her future endeavors. She has done a lot here with the nontraditional students and has been a friend to him. He also congratulated the new Directors. SENATOR RAFFAIL stated that being a Senator meant a lot to her. SENATOR SCHROEDER congratulated the new Directors. She stated that she is going to miss SENATOR RAFFAIL. She told SENATOR MORGAN to have fun in Costa Rica. She also wished SENATOR BINETTI good luck in law school. SENATOR MCLAUGHLIN congratulated the Directors and said good-bye to the leaving Senators. SENATOR ANZALONE stated that these 3 Senators deserve good-byes. He stated that SENATOR MORGAN always smiles and the way she stays out of the politics is unbelievable. SENATOR RAFFAIL has done a lot for the campus and we look up to her. SENATOR ( BINETTI is probably the hardest working Senator. She has taken a lot of hits and she will be an unbelievable lawyer. 8 SENATE MINUTES 29-21 /May 14, 1999 SENATOR VENTURA said good-bye to the leaving Senators. He stated that he is not biased in any way and he just goes along with what his constituents would probably expect him to vote on. If what he is about to say offends someone then speak to him afterward. Because he is not trying to offend anybody but there are a lot of things he can't figure out. He spoke about the Faculty Excellence awards at the last meeting and someone took responsibility and it was taken care of. But he looked at the Constitution and he can't figure things out. He tried to put an Item about a Vice President Pro-Tempore on the agenda and it was rejected. If it is out of order, it is out of order. But he thinks that we need a Vice President Pro-Tempore for a reason. He is not just saying that because somebody should take the position and get another stipend. He doesn't understand why can't there be help for the Executive Board. There can always be help. Senate Bylaw 30 talks about the duties of the Vice President Pro-Tempore. But we don't have one so who should delegate those responsibilities. The Constitution says we should have the Vice President nominate somebody and with approval of the Senate we will have a Vice President Pro-Tempore. But why don't we have one. He doesn't understand and if somebody can help him figure that out, please do. He doesn't understand whose power it is to say that we shouldn't have one. Regarding the selection process for the Directors, he doesn't understand how we can select two candidates for one and for others select only one individual. He thinks it is something we need to change. He didn't see anywhere where it said you could nominated more than one person and bring then to the Senate. It said they should nominate a Director and get the Senate's approval. He doesn't know why we should have people up here speaking. Somebody else spoke earlier about block voting. He did some research and there is some type of block in there. He stated that there is no reason to have somebody come up here and speak if everybody is going to vote the same. He asked why the Executive Board did not just appoint one Director. Why should we bring them in here when some people are going to vote the same way regardless. If the Constitution says nominate one person, than nominate one person. The pros and cons were ridiculous and offensive. It should say the person's name on there who evaluated them because that is ridiculous. There could be biases in this whole situation that we need to figure out. He thinks they need to have a caucus because there needs to be something settled and this is ridiculous. He didn't want to do this at the last meeting but it is almost summer and there is less attendance and things might continue. We need to work some things out. He doesn't understand how all of this can come about and noone has said anything. He thinks a lot of us have been thinking this but we haven't said it in front of everybody. These are his views and the Directorship thing just pulled him over the line We has two candidates who were in the position last year and they put them up here to speak against other candidates. That is fine if the other candidates are qualified. But there should have been two candidates for every single position. Why for some and not for others. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe they should have taken into consideration the input given by the Senate instead of just doing what they feel. He thinks we need to have a serious caucus. He just stated his views and if someone got offended he apologizes and his intent is to work something out because it needs to be done soon. Every time he has mentioned something like this to SENATE PRESIDENT FISK he has been helpful so he is sure he will let us go forth with this. If somebody has something to tell him after the meeting please tell him. But this is the way he feels and it has to be done before the summer or before fall starts because he doesn't like it. 9 SENATE MINUTES 29-21 /May 14, 1999 SENATOR FISK stated that a Vice President Pro-Tempore must be nominated by the Vice President, approved by the Executive Board, and approved by the Senate. If the Vice President chooses not to have a Vice President Pro-Tempore that is his or her option. Director interviews occurred on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday of this week. Senators were given those schedules and were also given the opportunity to listen to the tapes. His office hours are roughly 10:00 to 2:00 almost every afternoon so he would be more than happy to address any questions or concerns that he might have. SENATOR AUGUSTIN stated that what he thinks is funny is that Holly Wainscott's con was positive. He congratulated all of the new Directors. He wished good luck to SENATOR MORGAN in Costa Rica. He stated it has been interesting working with SENATOR RAFFAIL on the Senate and as an orientation leader. She has been an interesting person and someone to look up to for a lot of the students. He and SENATOR BINETTI have never really gotten along but he respects that a lot because they each had their own opinions. He respects her as a Senator and thinks that she did a good job. SENATOR M. MORADKHAN said good-bye to SENATOR MORGAN. She stated that she is happy SENATOR RAFFAIL is part of the UNLV royalty. She stated that SENATOR BINETTI will do really well in law school. She also wished everyone a nice weekend. SENATOR KNAPP congratulated the new Directors. He stated that going overseas was probably the most valuable experience of his life and wished good luck to SENATOR MORGAN. It was a pleasure being on Homecoming court with SENATOR RAFFAIL and she will be missed. He told SENATOR BINETTI that disagreement is good and wished her good luck in law school. He wished everyone a great summer. SENATOR GREEN said good-bye to the leaving Senators. He yielded the floor to PRESIDENT PECK. PRESIDENT PECK (read VICE PRESIDENT'S comments and stated that the Directors begin their terms on June 1st.) She also stated that the Executive Board met today and thanked Ofir for his comments and feedback. She stated that the Executive Board makes comments to the senate to not only let them know what is going on with them but also to solicit feedback on things that are happening. They will take this into consideration for the next Executive Board to let them know what worked and what didn't. She stated that the attorney general requested that Student Government look over information about date rape drugs. The Student Government Leadership Scholarship recipients were posted today outside of the office. There is still some more money available and the Executive Board is looking into trying to give some of that money to incoming students to try to promote their involvement in Student Government in their future at UNLV. There is a Board of Regents meeting in Carson City on June 17th and 18th. If any Senators are interested in going please let her know because they need to get the money approved as soon as possible. Today in the Executive Board meeting they approved a CSUN fee waiver policy and the Senate will be getting a copy of that. She is also looking into moving our savings account into an interest bearing account. Right now it is not and we are losing money. There is going to be a shootout hosted by campus recreational services on May 15th and 16th. Student 10 SENATE MINUTES 29-21/May 14, 1999 Government has been invited to a wildlife photography reception. She will be out of town the week of May 24th. There next Executive Board meeting will be a week from today on May 21st in the morning. She attended a meeting of the Student Conduct Code and it was interesting. She also wished the best of luck to the outgoing Senators and stated that we will miss them greatly. SENATOR GREEN wished everyone a great summer and stated that he hopes everyone makes grades. SENATOR FISK stated that the next Senate meeting will be May 24th at 3:00, location TBA. SENATOR PAUL MORADKHAN wished good luck to the outgoing Senators and stated that they will all be greatly missed. He wished them the best of luck. He stated that he respects SENATOR VENTURA'S opinions. He also wished everyone a safe summer. SENATOR BINETTI stated that she hopes SENATOR MORGAN enjoys her time in Costa Rica. She wished good luck to SENATOR RAFF AIL and stated that she is glad she decided to come back to us. She also said good-bye to SENATE PRESIDENT FISK. SENATOR GLANCZ said good-bye and good luck to the outgoing Senators. He thanked the Senate for giving him his directorship and stated that he won't let them down.
