She mentioned that Senators should stop by the CSUN booth at events and show support. She also mentioned that senators should be careful with the term "reelect" and the term "reattain" and to be mindful with their usage. In the CSUN office there have been way too many guests. If a senator is having a meeting then it is fine to have people in the office. However, if not, only one guest is allowed at a time. It is also important to escort guests with you, instead of having them walk themselves back. In regards to the cart, it is for official CSUN business only. This week it was taken to class, please do not abuse the cart. Please use the cart for business only. I.
