State of the Campus Address by PRESIDENT JOE MILLS. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that "as we stand poised on the start of a new semester, a new year, a new era, a new age on the brink of a new milennium, we to at UNLV and CSUN should look back on the course of this year and the past 40 years here at UNLV. In this way we can see where we have gone and where we need to be going in the next 40 years of UNLV's history. To see where are going we must look back to see how far we have gone. So I look back to see what I have done for students to make UNLV a better place, a unique place to be at in our history. I, to, am myself in a unique position, in the 40 year history of UNLV, I have been the first and only student ever elected to three consecutive terms as an executive member of CSUN, UNLV Student Government. Now this is not just an honor but also a consistant vote of confidence from the people who should matter most to the people in this room. The students of UNLV that believe that I have done and am doing a great job. But not resting on these //inaudible//1 look to what I have accomplished for all of the students here at UNLV as your President. In the very confusing re-organization of the colleges and majors here at UNLV, some students fell to //inaudible// and lost their colleges. They became disenfranchised as the teachers and advisors that they had counted on for years were now scattered across several colleges. As a campaign promise, I stated that I would do my best to help them get their own department so that can have a focal point that will allow them to continue on their path to complete their original degrees.
