Alma Mater Committee Bruce Bayne announced that this Committee has met twice and they are moving slowly, but it is an item that will be with the University for a long time. He announced that the present Alma Mater stinks, and on October 28 he was invited to the band rehearsals at 7:30 a.m. to hear the full marching band play the present alma mater. He reported that if this sounds appropriate then there will be no need for a new one, but if a new one is written it will probably cost $100 a copy for lyrics. VII. Old Business VIII. New Business A.

This will be voted upon at the next meeting. C. Senior Class Rings (disc.) President White reported that he did look into this, and there is a class ring, therefore, this should not have been a discussion item. D. (Emergency Item) Proposal by Leanne Morejjon Mrs. Morejon informed the Senate that the Pre-Law Association is working on a project to get a law school in Nevada. She informed the Senate that their present goal is to have the Nevada State Legislature to consider to establish the law school. This must be done now. The Legislature meets in January, and will not meet again for two years. They need to see if there is public sentiment in favor of having a law school in Nevada, and the most obvious group of people, to go to would be the students. So she asked the Senate to put out a ballot question at the upcoming election that reads: Do you favor the establishment of a law school in Nevada? Bruce Bayne moved to approve her question, and that CSUN take care of the cost of the ballots, and was seconded by Scott Greene. Discussion took place, and Lorraine Alderman called for the question, seconded, and passed with one opposition, and one abstention. IX. Open Discussion Bruce Bayne moved to adjourn, seconded by Shawn Jenkins, and failed. (Susana Reyes arrived at 5:23 p.m. - excused.) In response to Mr. Szony's comments on the Oktoberfest budget, John Purvis informed the Senate that he felt that the addition.,'/air freight charge for the Oktoberfest Mugs was not due to the Administrative purchasing procedures as established by the University. The actual time for the processing of the purchase order to Barrish Buttons was approximately four hours from the time that his office received the necessary paper work. In Mr. Purvis' opinion the Purchasing Office has been more than willing to cooperate with all divisions of the Consolidated Students in all areas of purchasing. Lise Wyman informed the Senate that a law conference will be held on October 5, 1978 from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. in Lounge 201.

It is hoped that these revisions will be the final changes necessary in the Constitution. We on the Committee have been asking for input from the various entities from CSUN regarding their Constitutional sections for some months. To date we have received negligible response. Because of this the Constitution Revision Committee has been forced to resort to independent research and work within the Committee to arrive at equitable solutions to arising problems. This is a final request for specific written suggestions or indications of problems with the Constitutional provisions affecting all elected positions, boards, committees, special appointments, and other CSUN positions. For ease in working, the Committee requests that this input be in writing. For maximum convenience, any individual wishing to make oral presentations may do so at the 2:30 p.m. Friday meetings, or the 9:00 a.m. Saturday meetings by indicating intension to do so with the Chairman. This undertaking will have extremely long lasting effects on the structure and ultimate effect of CSUN. We, therefore, request that you make every possible effort to contribute your observations, opinions, and judgements as soon as possible. We would like to have your suggestions within two weeks. Thank you for your time. 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 TO: Student Person n f CSUN DATE: September 26, 1978 rjb UNIVCEORNSSITOYL IODFA TNEEDV ASDTAU, DLEANS TVSE GAS BY-LAW COMMITTEE Meeting Sept. 5,1978 Minutes I.

I know both of you are a little sore and I apologize. You should know (and this may make you even sorer) that the day I talked to you on the telephone I had a meeting scheduled with Martin Levy to discuss a matter unrelated to CSUN. After that meeting was over, I yelled at him about the delay on the UNLV application. He and I went to see the staff man process-ing the application together and received an assurance that it would be accepted for filing within two weeks. I intended to include this fact in my response to your letter, but was delayed in responding by other pressing matters. Martin Levy is one of my good friends and I was angry that, when you and Chuck met with him in San Francisco he did not tell you that I had already gotten after him. I called him this morning and told him that I was sore about it. lie apolo-gized and said he had simply not realized you were talking to him about the same application I had pressured him on. I think we are one of the finest law firms in the communications area, but we appear to be lacking as communicators. If, by the " time you receive this letter, you have not fired us, we will try to bring our communicating up to snuff. Best regards. Sincerely vours, Victor E.

MSU 307 Call to Order at 2:05 Roll Call Members in Attendance: Absent: Tommy Walker - Mike Stowers Dan Lovil Bryon Blasco Joyce Bridges Scott Greene Bill Botos N R B A (National Radio Broadcasters Association) convention was very fruitful. In San Francisco we met with the F C C . Martin Levy of the Broadcast Bureau informed us we should have a construction permit by the end of this year. Tommy Walker showed a copy of the letter received from our Washington attorney, Vic Farrell (attached). As discussed by the committee in the recent past, we were not happy with our attorney's handling of our situatior Martin Levy called Chuck White on Friday of last week, to re-confirm his statements regarding our upcoming construction permit. He went on to state there are three(3)"FM applications in front of ours for processing. The COS Class in the studio, room 220 in Humanities,is an experimental course and probably won't be added to the curriculum next semester. The situation for this semester, however, is becoming difficult. The class is going to require more and more studio time to complete their individual class projects. This cuts into the operating hours of KULV on Wednesdays and Fridays presently. Mondays will soon be taken by the clas s also. It has been decided we are going to go ahead and purchase a portable cassette recorder for use at this time. The present recorder we have is a loaner from Audio/Visual Services and is not of broadcast quality. Additionally, we are interested in acquiring an audio console in advance of our construction permit. This console would serve us in two ways: 1. It would allow us expanded broadcast hours on KULV (on-c ampus). We would not have to depend on the studio from Audio/Visual Services. / / UNIVCEORNSSITOYL IODFA TNEEDV ASDTAU,D LEANST VSE GAS 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 Minutes Radio Committee Meeting 9/28/78 2.We will have a console which will be used in our studio application for the FM station.. The various companies making such a console have been notified of our intention to acquire one. The unit will have to go to bid(as will the entire project) and bid specs will have to be written. Even the cassette recorder will be bid—via phone quotes from local suppliers The procedure is often employed by Audio/Visual Services. Tommy Walker has conferred with Mike Stowers, A/V Director,on the procedures often used to obtain items from local vendors. The equipment people we met with at the NRBA Convention will be coming to Las Vegas to discuss our project in detail. Tommy Walker will be contacting Vic Farrell, our attorney, in the next few days to insure he is living up to his performance (as promised) . Further discussion of the audio console will take place at the next meeting. The committee will also be provided with a ball park estimate on cost. To review bidding procedures—we must accept the lowest bid on any specific item of equipment. The date/time for the next meeting will be set once all committee members have been contacted. There has been some discussion that this meeting time— Thursday at 2 PM—is not convenient for all committee members. All members wJ. be polled on this question. Meeting adjourned at 3:00 P.M.
