He is going to miss SENATE PRESIDENT KIMB ROUGH and wished him good luck. He also wished good luck to VICE PRESIDENT SHAPIRO and PRESIDENT PRICE.

STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PRICE stated that The Canadian Brass is performing on Saturday at 8 p.m. The faculty/staff appreciation reception is tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. There is a blood drive taking place today through Wednesday. He had the best of intentions on the agenda Item tonight but it turned out to be a bad idea. Happy Birthday to SENATOR DAVY. There is an informal KUNV meeting tomorrow at 6:30. He will be attending the Board of Regents meeting this week. The Ethnic Student Council Executive Board installation is tomorrow at 5 p.m. and it would be nice for Student Government to show support. He stated that the Executive Board banquet was nice and he thanked everyone for attending. Congratulations to the UNLV Rugby Team for making it to the national championship. He thanked Dr. Piper and stated that he was the first person he met at UNLV and it means a lot that he comes to meetings because he cares. He thanked Jim Moore for everything he has taught him this year and stated that he will keep in touch. He asked everyone to go easy on Jim and stated that he respects him and he helped out a lot. He stated that VICE PRESIDENT SHAPIRO, Scott Ceci, and Jerry Jory are not here but they made this year a lot of fun. Thanks to the Directors and the Judicial Council. He wished the best of luck to the incoming Executive Board and he thinks they will do wonderful things. He recognized Luis Valera and Keith McClain who were in the audience. CSUN has come a long way since when he first started. CSUN is almost synonymous with controversy but that is what made him want to be a part of CSUN. It has been an honor to serve students. There have been ups and downs. He stated that what happened in Denver makes you wonder where our society is headed and what our values are. But he looks around at the people here who dedicate their time to benefit other people and he knows that the school is going to be in good hands. He also thanked SENATE PRESIDENT KIMBROUGH and stated that this year has brought them very close. B. VICE PRESIDENT SHAPIRO was not present. C. SENATE PRESIDENT KIMBROUGH stated that the University Choir is performing at 6:30 on Thursday in Ham Hall. He thanked Scott Ceci and David Shapiro for doing a fine job this year. Scott set the tone for the Executive Board and the Senate to be friends. He wishes those who Scott helped along the way had not gone after him. There were probably other people who could have done it and could have asked the same questions that needed to be asked. Because it really hurt him as a person and really made him feel like something that he loved so much didn't care for him at all. He hopes those people never do it to a person again because it was very hurtful for his friend and himself to see that. Those who did that now know why his friendship with them is not as strong as it used to be. He thinks it was rude and it was wrong. He wished the best of luck to the next Executive Board. He hopes they try to fund KUNV at the promised amount and also to give a credit waiver to the Judicial Council members to say thanks. He wishes Jen Peck good luck and stated that he is a big fan of her. She conducts herself with a great 9 SENATE MINUTES 29-19/April 26, 1999 amount of professionalism and positive energy and he enjoys that. He thanked Jim Moore and stated that he has always looked up to him. He stated that he used to be a very devout Christian person and he had a falling out with that part of his life when he was in highschool. One day he had a conversation with Jim about church and he answered his questions about his interest in his denomination and it meant so much to him. He really hopes he can conduct himself in a Christian manner as he sees Jim conduct himself every day. He is a great man and he appreciates everything he does for Student Government. He also stated that Holly is one of the nicest people he has ever met. She and Amy are like his sisters away from home. They are by far the two closest female friends he has ever had in College and he considers himself lucky to have met both of them. They have brought a lot of fun to the office and he appreciates everything they have done. The Utah Jazz are a great team and they are better than the Lakers this year. He doesn't miss the debate team. He knew when he ran as a Senator that he wanted to be Senate President and luckily nobody ran against him because he would have lost that election. He thanked Ofir for the pen and the mug he gave him today. He said that for those who didn't win their elections, student government is not the greatest thing that has ever happened in his life. It was fun but if you speak with other past candidates they are much happier people looking back that they didn't win. SENATOR CLEMENS has a great amount of drive and vigor in him and he will serve the students well. He will do well and he has confidence in him a person. He is a good person and he wishes that people would attempt to keep their snide comments to themselves because he doesn't think it is right. He advised the new Executive Board to not be prideful and to be friendly. The Senate has the most power and they can do anything to make their lives miserable. Attempt to conduct yourselves in a manner which is respectful of the Senate and respectful of the Directors. Because that is really where the heart of Student Government lies. XI.
