REGENT ALDEN recalled the challenge he gave the Senate last week about helping out 4 or 5 fellow students during the journey through education because college is very difficult. He emphasized that education is very important today and doesn't stop the day of graduation, but it "goes on forever in your life to the day they decide to put you in the ground." He also stated that he and the Regents want the Student Government to be active, proactive and responsible. He stated, "You got elected to these posts to ensure that the rest of the student population that you would be responsible." He further emphasized that "athletics" is not a dirty word and "every time we earn in athletics and we do well, we bring in a 2 1/2:3 ratio (of dollars) into academics." He added that UNR's total budget ($6,000,000 - 6,500,000 a year) as far as expenditures go is about half of UNLV's, and UNR's state appropriations are the same as ours. He stated that Title IX is. going to help us and UNR and explained that "what Title IX says is that we're going to be fair and we're going to have athletics for the ladies." He stated that there is a problem with Title IX as being interpreted as body count, and emphasized that it can't be done by body count and has to be done by sporty otherwise we'll all be nut down. In addition, he stated that, "you don't take peoples' contribution to, particularly, the academic program or athletics just to balance the budget. And, I'll stand by that. I understand what they did and they didn't pay it back. It's still wrong, but we're going to go on and support Dr. Harter..." He stated that there is no way that he is going to approve the spending for a parking garage on the Thomas and Mack property, but stated that we are going to resolve the parking situation. He went on to explain how funding works and stated that there are three pools of money: the state appropriate (system wide it's about 42% of the total expenditures), the remainder is about 30% self supporting from the students in ticket sales, etc., and about 20% goes for research and development. He added that he does not believe that the UNR budget is "out of whack." Furthermore, he stated that "foreign students on campus are the greatest thing going as long as we take care of our own first, and we do that...the reason why here to our community colleges, number one, our K-16 program, our education is the best in the world. Nobody has better higher education than this country, and hopefully we'll keep it." He also added that "this (UNLV) is the best hotel school in the country...We have great professors. We have great faculty. We have great educators. Guess what? What's the best thing we have. Great students. I'm done. Thank you." //Applause.// SENATOR LUTAR and SENATOR GRIFFITH arrive at 7:25 p.m.. The Senate now sits at 18 present. In response to questions, REGENT ALDEN stated that he agrees that the technology on campus needs to be improved, but new technology is outgrowing funding fourfold. ( 2 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE introduced the Student Body President for the Community college of Southern Nevada, Curtis Jay, to the Senate. CURTIS JAY agreed with REGENT ALDEN's comments about the college and stated, "Let's hope that this international student programming does get off on its feet." He then stated that REGENT ALDEN made a lot of good comments and he agreed with a lot of them. //Applause.// SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE announced that on September 18, 1997, at 2:30 p.m. in the Paul B. Sogg Architecture Building, PRESIDENT HARTER will be presenting her State of the University address. V. BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS: A. Senate Committee Reports: 1. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN announced that there has been an agenda posted for Campus Safety and Awareness. She stated that they'll be discussing security in the office. She announced that the meeting will take place at 2:30 p.m. on September 16, 1997, in the Alcove. She encouraged as many people as possible who are concerned about this issue to attend. 2. SENATOR GRIFFITH announced that on Thursday, September 11, the Bylaws Committee will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Senate Chambers. B. Faculty Senate/University Committee Reports: SENATE PRESIDENT announced that there are no reports. C. Director Reports: 1. NS A DIRECTOR CONTINE stated that the Board of Regents meeting last week went very well and we were well represented in Reno. He added that the main thing discussed was an overview of the university system's budget and stated that the university system received a 28.8% increase in its state appropriated budget. He added that UNLV went up by a rate of approximately 18.6 %. He stated that if anyone is interested, he has the "down and dirty" of the budget. He also stated that they talked about the overview of the legislature as a whole and other bills that affect UNLV and UNR. He stated that he thinks that the community college and university credit transfer bill is a way in which a student can transfer credits from the community college to the university is worthy of note. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE added that he'll be giving his report on the Regents meeting during his open discussion. 2. Elections Board DIRECTOR FLEISCHMAN announced that the first andidates' meeting went very well. She also thanked Alpha Delta Pi for helping them resolve a room problem. She also stated that the hours for the Elections Board to approve everything are not SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 "osted because they are pending tonight. She added that the candidate meeting did go very well. She stated that the Executive Board are exofficio members of the Elections Board, and at this time she had not had a chance to talk to each Executive member and inform them of the system that we have for accepting campaign materials; however, she stated that she would ask that if there are people that are on the board approving stuff that the Executive Board refrain from approving things at that time so that no paperwork is lost. She then asked the Senate for input about Homecoming qualifications falling under elected offices or not. SENATOR LIDEROS suggested giving it to the Judicial Council for interpretation. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE PERSCH stated that if we don't follow what's in the Constitution, then we are basically going to open the door for anybody the community to come in and run for Homecoming King or Queen. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE added that these students have to be held accountable to the university's minimum standards which includes a 2.0 grade point average and suggested just falling back on the university minimum. 3. O-Board DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN announced that he had his first O-Board meeting last week and it went very well. He stated that we have three new organizations on campus. He added that the Reno trip went very well. Then, he passed out a memo to the Senate and proceeded to state that he was not informed that PRESIDENT MILLS was going to pick up to 2,877 of the student season tickets from the Thomas and Mack center causing him a work stoppage. He stated that he had made arrangements to pick these tickets himself and was surprised that they were not there. He stated that traditionally the Organizations Board Director is supposed to pick up the tickets and distribute them to the students. He explained that it takes a good 2-3 days to get the tickets counted and distributed. He stated that he went down on Wednesday to get the tickets and he had planned it 1 ;ut that they'd be ready on Friday and Monday the tickets would get distributed to the student body. Then, he stated that he would've had the organizations' membership rosters by the following Monday and that would've given the organizations a week to hand out their tickets to their organizations. He added that this is a disservice to the students who should have their tickets two weeks out. In response to questions, STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he was contacted by Bill Reed who informed him that the tickets were ready to pick up. He added that as Student Body President in accordance with the ticketing policy approved by the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee which authorizes either the President or his designee to handle that, he picked them up and put them into a locked storage area because he was informed that the band was going to be moving their section and did not know exactly which section they were going to move to. He stated that Bill Reed asked him to hold the tickets until such time after they made that determination where the band would move to. He then stated that Bill Reed had then left him a message that they had moved the sections and had printed up the 118's and they need to get the 123's, but Bill Reed had told him that he wanted Joe to give the tickets to him personally rather than to any other person in the office since he deals directly with the student tickets and Joe had said that would be fine. In response to another question, he stated that he has not switched the 123 - 119 tickets, but he added that Bill Reed has not contacted him yet to arrange a time for the switch. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that the size of the box is not just something you'd really want to just leave somewhere. In response to another question, PRESIDENT MILLS stated that SENATOR FLEISCHMAN can ask DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN why he doesn't have the tickets because he stated that DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN ( ;alled him while PRESIDENT MILLS was in Reno crying about the tickets and stated that he had told him that PRESIDENT MILLS would be back on Sunday and they could start working on the 4 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 : ",kets on Sunday. He stated that DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN never called him and never contacted ..im at the office or at home and hasn't said anything about this the entire day even though he has seen him three or four times today. PRESIDENT MILLS asked if we've actually had the lottery yet for the organizations. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN stated that since that is the director's job and according to our operating policy, it's the Director or the Vice President who are supposed to pick these tickets. PRESIDENT MILLS added, "Not according to the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee's determination on ticketing policy. This was determined last year." He stated that he had worked on this with ex-STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT ROSENTHAL last year. In response to another question, PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he does not know what the director did and he was contacted by the Thomas and Mack and picked up the tickets as they requested him to do so, put them in storage because they said that they needed to exchange those sections and not to give any out until such time as they did. He stated that he was told that they were printed and that Bill Reed would tell him what time he would be there so that they could be exchanged. So, PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he was just waiting for Bill to contact him. He stated that if the Senate would like to do all the other sections in the meantime that's fine and he stated that he told that to DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN. In response to a question, DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN stated that he was never informed that PRESIDENT MILLS had the tickets and could have made arrangements, but when he went down to ae Thomas and Mack he had no clue that the tickets were not there. He stated that that's why he had to contact PRESIDENT MILLS in Reno. He stated that he had made arrangements with the ticket manager on Tuesday who went on vacation that week, so that may be why Bill had contacted Joe. He added that he had gotten back really early in the morning on Sunday and had no sleep so he went home and went to bed and this is why he did not contact PRESIDENT MILLS that night. In response to a question, PRESIDENT MILLS explained what had happened again and added that actually as a result of the exchange we gained a 100 extra seats for students because 118 is a bigger section than the pie-shape section 123. In response to another question, PRESIDENT MILLS stated that they (Bill Reed) had wanted to get the tickets out of the Thomas and Mack because they don't have the storage facilities to keep producing tickets. In response to another question, PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he would be happy to give DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN the tickets during the meeting or after the meeting, but it takes more than five minutes to get them because they are not here and are in a locked storage facility. In response to a question, DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN stated that this would be fine. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he would give him all the sections with the exception of the section that has to be exchanged because they were entrusted to him. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated that he would excuse DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN at this time to take care of the tickets. 5 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 In response to a question, DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN explained that he did not talk to , RESIDENT MILLS today and brought this to the Senate because he was under the impression that PRESIDENT MILLS was not going to work with him on the ticket issue because of the conversation they had had in Reno. In addition, DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN does not feel that he has to bring everything that he can not handle himself to the Senate, but he stated that he did try to talk to PRESIDENT MILLS in Reno. In response to another question, he stated that PRESIDENT MILLS did not tell him that he'd be back on Sunday, but stated that they would discuss it when PRESIDENT MILLS returned from Reno. SENATOR HAYES stated that she thinks it would have been more efficient and effective to have this issue dealt with when both DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN and PRESIDENT MILLS were in the office today. SENATOR TRUJILLO commented that we were under the impression that the Vice President and only the Director were in charge of picking them up and we have now been informed otherwise. He stated that he does not think that DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN was informed otherwise and was not aware that the President is allowed to pick them up, so before we put anybody under pressure, he thinks that we've got the situation resolved, have a lot of business tonight, and would like to move on with the agenda. In response to a question, PRESIDENT MILLS stated that as President of CSUN he reports to fhe students who elected him and does not report to the Collegiate Athletic Committee. He added that ne policy as far as it relates to the tickets, the policy that is determined by Collegiate Athletics is a policy that has to be followed. SENATOR LIDEROS went on to state that the students are being disserviced and wants PRESIDENT MILLS to take responsibility for his actions. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that we are going to fix whatever misunderstandings people may have and stated, "Just as SENATOR HAYES said, why didn't DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN contact me?" SENATOR LIDEROS replied, "I don't want to hear about DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN." PRESIDENT MILLS stated, "No, well, you're asking a question. I'm answering your question. If you'd like the answer, let me answer it. And, so therefore, let me say like SENATOR HAYES said if DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN was doing anything other than trying to make an issue, just like a lot of other people are trying to make non-issues about things. He could have come to me today and said, 'I couldn't contact you on Sunday because I was tired. I needed to sleep. I had a meeting. Let's work on the tickets today.' I would have said,'Okay. fine. We'll work on them all afternoon. We'll get them done.' The students are not being disserviced. We don't have a first home game until the 20th. Today is the 8th. We still have 12 additional days between that and now. We still have the O-Board meeting between then and now at which tickets would normally be distributed o organizations. So, it's not like people were getting harmed or hurt in any way." 6 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE cut in and ended the debate on this. He apologized to ENATOR LIDEROS for taking his floor. He then apologized to SENATOR SONG and SENATOR FLEISCHMAN for not allowing them to speak and stated that we are going to be moving along with a very long agenda and stated that they can save their comments towards the end. 4. JUSTIN HORSCHTRITT introduced himself as an E&P Board member and spoke on behalf of E&P DIRECTOR WIESSEN. He stated that everything has been taken care of for the month. He announced that Movie Night for September 9 has been moved to Wright Hall due to budget problems. In response to a question, he stated that regarding an unofficial bet they were going to make with UNR about the football game, a phone call was made but the call has not been returned yet. 5. OSI DIRECTOR A YON announced that we have done 2 OSI pages over the past two weeks and did get an additional slot of information on the Monday addition for meetings of any organizations and asked that everyone get any organizations' meetings that they are involved with to him and he'll get it there. He thanked Darryll for the additional space that we got. He stated that the memory isn't in for his computer yet, so the web page is not going to be done until this happens. In response to a question, he stated that he does have plans for making a Student Directory. He stated that if anything he does on the OSI page offends anybody to please let him know because he'd be more than accommodating to take it off, strike it, or change the words around to make it a little bit better. He stated that he thinks everybody's input is valuable. SENATOR HAYES commended him on changing "death threats" to "insults" because of the way things are going. I D. Residence Hall Liaison Report: JENNIFER PECK announced that their Opening Weekend is over and went great. She stated that everyone in the Residence Halls is getting settled in and they're starting their regular hall programming. She stated that they are also trying to get their Executive Board finalized and have 3 positions open that should be filled tomorrow. She stated that they have been experimenting with some new programs within their Executive Board - one of which is a Saturday night movie theme to get people away from the peer pressures of going out and doing stuff on Saturday night. She also stated that their RHA channel should be up and running soon and they're getting geared up for their first conference which will be held in Canada in November and they're considering bidding for the School of the Year Award and also for the National Information Center which has to do with the International Residence Hall honorary programs. E. Student Athlete Advisory Board Liaison Report: DARON DORSEY announced a Barbecue for the student athletes on September 20 at the Rebel Experience at the first football game. He also stated that they have their meeting days set for their Student Athlete Advisory Board; it's going to be the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m.. So, he stated that their next meeting is going to be on Wednesday, October 1, at 7:00 p.m. in the Leid Athletic Complex in room 215, the football offensive/defensive coordinating conference oms. He then introduced one of the other members of the board, JANIEL FREI, a representative 7 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 from women's swimming and was UNLV's Outstanding Woman Scholar Athlete for the 1996/97 jhool year. F. Business Manager Report: BUSINESS MANAGER JIM MOORE read the expenditures for the month: $133.51 - phone bill for August, $19.00 - Reprographics to print up the UNLV football advertisements, $44.25 - organization filing packets, $15.00 - Senate business cards, $185.91 - toner for photocopy machine, $219.23 - for "I Voted" stickers, $255.00 - Senate photos, $21.60 - for new LPO's forms, $27.95 - office supplies for the Senate Secretary, and $212.00 - Central Stores for paper for the photocopy machine. In response to a question, he stated that will have to check into an order for a Polaroid camera for the Executive Board which has not come across his desk yet. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT [in accordance with N.R.S. 241.020 (2)(c)(3)] DIRECTOR CONTINE brought to light the Regents concern about accountability within student governments, the challenge of students governments as an autonomous group, and students taking a stronger stance on autonomy. PAULA JEANNE addressed the issue that was brought up about the tickets that people are having problems discussing things with each other before they have to bring it up in front of everybody. She stated that the one thing that seems to happen at the Senate meetings that she attends gularly is that there are certain people that have personal grudges against other people and they just try to make something out of nothing. She then addressed SENATOR LIDEROS about his question about accountability and stated, "the CSUN President is in charge of all the other people below him. He's not accountable to them. They are accountable to him in that order." She suggested that if you are going to quote university policy on ticketing issues that you look it up first before you start saying what you think. In addition, she asked the Senate what their ideas are about Homecoming and what they are planning on doing as a group. //Switch to verbatim transcription at this point due to concern expressed by MS. MILLS about the accuracy of her comments.// SALLY MILLS stated, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I think you know my name. If you don't by this time it's a sad commentary. I also would like to mention that when the minutes are recorded, the words that I say are not accurate and they are not the way I say them; and yet you're doing the machine there. You can play that over and over again until you get it correctly. I would really appreciate the things that I say to be said the way I said them. I do write it down and I do report it the way I write. Thank you. First of all, why did not VICE PRESIDENT VALERA make sure his directors had their duties in line like making sure their tailgate was taken care of and LPO's were signed before he left for Reno. Also, why did he not see that bluebooks, scantrons, pencils were handed out when necessary? That's part of his job as head of the directors. Why did not VICE PRESIDENT VALERA //unintelligible// that the tickets were not taken care of two weeks prior to ( >ing to Reno when they were ready? Why did MR. MILLS have to go and do this for him? At least MR. MILLS is responsible at making sure the tickets aren't lost or stolen and they're in a safe place. 8 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 Tsn't it funny that it's just somebody being missed when he is away for a week; and, yes, he called jng distance. They couldn't wait (un)til he came here, and yet, when he did come here, he couldn't do anything about (it) or didn't do anything about (it), and I'm talking about the director who was supposed to do this. Also, MR. VALERA, when is MR. VALERA going to be responsible for his job? Also, tickets for the game to Reno were not advertised in this school at all. I looked all over campus. I come to this campus every day. Where in these buildings have the tickets been advertised so students would know tickets were available to be sold, where they were going to be sold, how much they were, that buses were available... nothing. There should be a schedule of events posted for the students so they'd know what's going on around this school. Not today, not tomorrow, not last minute, but every day. Also, these tickets that you are so concerned about depriving the students for games that is going to be held September 20, how are the students being deprived 12 days in advance when 2 days in advance in Reno they worked and they had tickets to be sold and they weren't sold? How is this depriving them? I mean the deprivation is when you're sick, you're cold, you're hungry. Ticket sales - a football game is not a deprivation. Learn your priorities. Thank you." SENATE SECRETARY TRICIA NIX stated, "I just wanted to say that when it comes to the minutes. I'm very accurate at what I do. I'm very good at what I do and I don't take people's words and twist them around. I take them exactly as I hear them. If anybody ever has a problem with that, they're more than welcome to request the records. I think it's Nevada Open Meeting Law. They're more than welcome to do that." SALLY MILLS stated, "I'm sorry. You did not record me as I spoke." SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated, "MS. MILLS, this isn't a point of debate. Just for clarification. If anybody ever wishes to listen to the tapes or if you'd like a copy of the tape, bring me a copy. I will make you a copy or if you'd like to come in and sit down and listen to them and then compare them to the written record, by all means; but, point of clarification, and every Senator knows this, on the back of every minutes it says, 'note: all minutes are subject to summation.' It's so that we don't sit there and three hours..." SALLY MILLS added, "//unintelligible// information and saying when they 'can' and 'can't'." SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated, "MS. MILLS, that's fine. This is not a situation for discussion. I'm just stating that minutes are subject to summation. If somebody would like to have a correction, then, by all means, a Senator can make that motion, but otherwise, they are as they stand. And, if you would like it verbatim from now MS. MILLS, I'll provide you the opportunity. Give my secretary a written copy of what you'd like and I'll have her put it in there exactly as you have it written." //End of verbatim transcription.// JUSTIN HIRSCHTRITT announced that being on the E&P Board, he has posted signs lroughout the school. He added that the Residence Halls did know fully well about the Reno games and that they were sitting in the Dining Commons Thursday and Friday offering to sale tickets. 9 SENATE MINUTES 27-25/ September 8, 1997 The Senate recessed at 8:22 p.m. and was called back to order 8:28 p.m..
