If you haven't taken your picture for the picture board please get with me this week. PRESIDENT MORADKHAN: The Board of Regents meeting was quite interesting. The tuition issue where out of states students moved here six months prior was addressed. The NRS has put a statute of limitation for 3 years. They are requesting that the attorney general find out if they have to go back to 1995. If anyone is effected by this, send them to the UNLV website on February 5. As far as the tuition increase, it will be heard at the Board of Regents meeting on March 18 and 19 at the DRI on the UNLV campus. I spoke to Dr. Fain and she'll be here to present the master plan to the Senate. The whole presentation will take 45 minutes. Mike Hamrick will also be here to speak. I went to the Inter-Athletic Council meeting. The teams are doing better academically then in the past. The committee revisions for Ways and Means, I had asked SENATOR CAZARES to work on it but she has told me she is to busy. I want to make a sub-committee that will only hear conference requests. If there's anyone interested let me know. You're going to see this on next week's agenda. You'll see a change in switching legal services to the literary magazine account and increasing the Senate discretionary by $15,000.

I will be doing a test run of the election double voting system next week, i. ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR LONG: Tom Kaz, the hypnotist, will be performing next week. The noon scene went well. NEVADA STUDENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR TEGANO: The most depressing thing is that almost 7 items are on the agenda to be funded. I've collaborated with the liberal arts director. If you have any questions about this let me know about. The cost that we're contributing is low and well worth it. Sometimes we can bring in an academic under price, but one of the things we can do is to improve that by bringing in speakers that travel and pay them what they're worth. One of the things is we're getting money to you and your colleges to put on lectures. It's important that all of you talk to me about what to do. Additionally my NEVADA STUDENT AFFAIRS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR BLOOD, has been meeting with the Cannon Research center about the survey. Next Thursday at 3:30 is a board meeting. Voter registration is being done by us as well. SENATOR MAYER: Would now be the proper time to disclose that NEVADA STUDENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR TEGANO submitted those items through me?

SENATOR SOLDANO moved to amend the item by striking, "8" and inserting, "at least 6 " . f> SENATOR CIANCI seconded the amendment. SENATOR MAYER: Was it originally from 6-8? SENATOR SOLDANO: Yes, but that's not how it was changed. SENATOR CRAWFORD: It was nine, but we didn't want to make it too big. So we made it 8. SENATOR MULLINAX: Whatever you do, a cap is a good idea. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: I think that we did spend quite a bit of time in Bylaws on this, and I think we should stay on what we have.

VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BROWDER: I wanted 9, but that's just for me and this will stay for years to come. SENATOR CIANCI: This in addition to the Senate President, Vice President, and the Vice President Pro Tempore. It's not just 9 people. SENATOR MAYER: This was a compromise to 8, and we wanted to lower by one person, but we thought it was low enough to make quorum. SENATOR SUMNER: So you think one more person would cause a problem? SENATOR MAYER: This was a compromise. SENATOR MACDONALD: The problem isn't the number, it's that people commit themselves and don't go. You need to go to it. But if people aren't going to go they're, not going to go. SENATOR CIANCI: Today is a perfect example of this, but yet we still couldn't make quorum. Another problem with these numbers thing is always having the ability to tie in case it came up. And the point of it is to have a smaller committee so we don't have everyone in the meeting. 7 SENATOR CRAWFORD: We had talked about that too. About quorum and the even number, but u can't predict absences. So when they set it for a number but in the end you can't base the numbers off that issue. Amendment PASSES 17-1-0.

EXECUTIVE BOARD SUMMATIONS VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN: I attended the Nevada Student Alliance retreat this weekend. We discussed about insurance coverage. We're the only university that has to do it. They'll be doing a what's going on with the turn over. I think it would've been better if it weren't for it being at the end of everyone's term. PRESIDENT MORADKHAN: I need to see the Senators for Hotel Administration and Urban Affairs. NSA meeting alliance agenda had on it a report from the controllers. All the controllers got together the way the salary structures are not uniformed. We do our stipends right and they will be taxing us on the stipend and the fee waivers. I'm looking into this and in the future we will be taxed on. The refrigerator was removed under my orders because of the smell. So I won't be signing off on student funds if you can't keep it clean. The microwave will move to the director's chambers SENATE PRESIDENT AMES QUIT A: Next meeting is going to be really long. I'm totally for combining and approving items that are similar. If you combine unlike items it makes it a lot harder. I know sometimes people make amendenments to stuff and it makes it easier if they're of the same type like all the stuff from Ways and Means. Discretionary, please come to the table with something there are concerns if we could see something just in a sub account for conferences so we can line item it for something which is more responsible. Show us that you want this somewhere. The fridge is lost. 14 I'm not signing off on it. I don't understand why people can't clean up after themselves. I want to meet with VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN and ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR LONG about some ideas. Jen Peck had a really good idea about it by putting it on the academic mall. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR CIANCI: Yield. SENATOR MAYER: I thought today's meeting was pretty good. I think we might've spent too much time on the Hotel Administration issue. That's a huge amount of money. Yield. SENATOR DONNELLY: Have a good week. Yield. SENATOR CORPUZ: Just want to thank the Senators that actually made it to the meeting or called me to say they wouldn't be there. By tomorrow, I'll have the meeting posted. Look through it. Come to the actual Ways and Mean meeting and discuss it there. We will be meeting up stairs after this meeting to pick a time. Yield. SENATOR SUMNER: Just answer the questions that are asked. Don't make yourself sick tomorrow. Yield. SENATOR SANTIAGO: Have a good week. Yield. SENATOR CAZARES: I wanted to remind the Senators that are on my committee that if you can make it next Wednesday to let me know. Yield. SENATOR CRAWFORD: Yield. SENATOR THOMPSON: Since the new session, we have waived Bylaw 6 six times. What's the point of having it if we don't need it. I hope you'll consider that. Yield. SENATOR FLINNER: The NSA retreat was informational. It's kinda nice to see we're not the only school with issues. Yield. SENATOR SOLDANO: Have a good week. Yield. SENATOR HOLMQUIST: I hope to see you all at the game in a few hours. Yield. SENATOR MULLINAX: Two weeks is up tomorrow. Yield. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: Friday, "Lenny" opens. Tickets are free for students. Lots of nudity and sexually explict material. Yield. 15 SENATOR JIMENEZ: My mom always tells me to take my time. And I understand we have a lot of money that we give out. I know how it is. I make time. I put in my schedule that I'll be here till 1 in the morning. Yield. SENATOR CONWAY: I encourage people not to talk during Directors reports. I think the meeting was pretty shitty. I think we should do something about it by reading our agendas, or learning Robert's Rules of Order. SENATOR HEEG: I want to thank all of you for your consideration of our item. Yield. SENATOR MACDONALD: There's another thing coming from us about going to Finland. Also, we get paid $50 a meeting. That includes committee meetings. SENATOR FLINNER moved to adjourn the meeting.
