EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS GOOD OF THE SENATE ADJOURNMENT Posted in accordance with Nevada Open Meeting Law(N.R.S. 241.000) at the following locations: Moycr Student Union, Frank & Estella Beam Hall, Flora Dungan Humanities, Classroom Building Complex and Thomas Beam Engineering Complex. CONSOLISDLACT.-EIVDE OST UDENTS STUUDMENiVTE RGSO'TVrE RONFM NEENVTA DOAFC S. PROPOSAL FOR REFERENDUM r FEB II 2 1 AH 97 Ballot Question Would you be in favor of paying an additional $1.50 per semester as part of your registration fees, to support the funding of the Rebel Yell independently of CSUN Student Government? Background Currently the Rebel Yell Student Newspaper receives its base funding from student - fees collected through CSUN Student Government. In accordance with CSUN Senate resolution 23-02 (Revised 25-09), each year the Rebel Yell is allocated 8.7% of Student Government's budget, and in exchange Student Government receives one full page per week to be used for student information. This year, the 8.7% amounted to approximately $54,000 in funding. If the proposal being brought forth is approved by a majority of students, CSUN Senate -Resolution 23-02 will be rescinded, and the Rebel Yell will be able to operate independently of the financial support from Student Government. If the item is passed by a majority of students, it will be brought forth to the Board of Regents in their March 1997 meeting as a new fee. The Board will then vote on approval of the fee, and if it passes it will be instituted in the Fall of 1997. Argument in Favor Passage of this referendum item will mean that CSUN Student Government has no fiscal or operating relationship with the Rebel Yell. Further, the 8.7% of the budget that has been allocated for the Rebel Yell will now be available to CSUN Student Government for spending in regular operating departments such as Entertainment & Programming and Student Services. Argument Against Passage of this referendum item will result in the institution of an additional $1.50 fee per semester per student. This fee is in addition to any registration fees that are currently charged and other per person fees such as the Health Center Fee ($20.00), Recycling Fee ($1.00), and Studies Abroad Fee ($2.00). UNLV UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS February 10, 1997 Dear CSUN Executive Board, In an effort to explain the impact this dinner theatre will have on our campus I answered the following question. How will "Anatomy of a Violation" benefit UNLV students? 1. "Anatomy of a Violation" furthers the #1 University Goal to be Student Focused about an issue critical to student safety; academically, physically, mentally, and socially. 2. "Anatomy of a Violation" furthers University Goal #5 by helping create an Inclusive and Just Campus Environment, where students are encouraged to participate in programs or events in a comfortable and safe environment. By addressing the topic of sexual assault and date rape, students will be educated to the reality of rape and ways to better communicate with peers about the subject. Through this educational experience, students will be exposed to both sides of a date rape, how it effects both the victim and perpetrator, and what might have been done to avoid it. 3. Several Student Services Departments and Student Organiaations have joined together to help support the issue of Sexual Assault by donating funds, volunteering their time, and helping to promote the event. Campus Sponsors: Jean Nidetch Women' Center Campus Community Development Campus Housing UNLV Public Safety Student Health Center ARAMARK Theatre Department UNLV 1996-97' Homecoming Queen and King Regent Shelley Berkeley Alpha Pi Epsilon Fraternity Delta Chi Student are the actors and a student wrote the entire script. Off-Campus Sponsors: Justice Court and the Honorable Judge Nancy Oesterle District Attorney's Office Area Health Education Center Community Action Against Rape Jean Nidetch Women's Center 4505 Maryland Parkway • Box 452025* Las Vegas, Nevada 89154-2025 (702) 895-4475 • FAX (702) 895-0601 Reference B 4. The entire process of producing a dinner theater involves a tremendous amount of planning, from creating the entire ' promotions package, selling tickets, organizing the facility, writing the script, casting, rehearsing, fund raising, set-up/ clean-up, to researching the resources on campus for follow-up services that will be needed after the play. (To name just a few of the responsibilities.) This whole gigantic process provides intellectual challenges and educational opportunities for those students and departments whose collaborative efforts bring forth such a dynamic program to UNLV's diverse body of students. "Anatomy of a Violation" is a joint effort and a mutual investment by the UNLV campus community to share information about sexual assault, exchange ideas, teach better communication skills, and educate as many individuals as possible about their own safety and the safety of others, in a very real way. On behalf of the Women's Center and the host of other individuals involved in the "Anatomy of a Violation", I ask for any support you would be willing to give to help us make this dynamic program a huge success in every sense. Sincerely, Conee Spano Director Reference B "Anatomy of a Violation" Dinner Theater & Mock Trial April 3,1997, 6:00 p.m. UNLV Moyer Student Union Ballroom SPONSORED BY: Jean Nidetch Women's Center Student Health Center UNLV Public Safety Campus Community Development Campus Housing Justice Court District Attorney's Office Community Action Against Rape UNLV Theater Department ARAMARK Theatre Department UNLV 1996-97 Homecoming Queen and King Regent Shelley Berkley Alpha Pi Epsilon Fraternity Delta Chi Student Actors and Volunteers Area Health Education Center In a dramatic effort to educate the campus and community on the issue of sexual assault, "Anatomy of a Violation" will depict an alleged date rape and mock trial on the University campus.
