Host Fund Expenditures John Hunt reported that each Senator had been given a complete list of all the Host Fund expenditures to date. b. Book Drop Ken Holt reported that he had contacted Harold Erickson and he suggested that we furnish him a map of the University?point out where we would like book drops located. He didn't indicate to Ken that he would add additional book drops, but would take the book drops in locations that are not used and transfer them to locations that would be more utilized. c. Mime Show Receipts Report Each Senator had been supplied with a breakdown of the receipts of the Mime Show which showed 54 students @ $1.00 each, and 65 General Admissions at $3.00 each...making a total of $249.00. John Hunt reported that they had saved $1,250.00 on the Mime Show by the door receipt method. Ken Holt announced that he had copies of the updated constitution in his office if anyone would like to have a copy. Minutes - Senate Meeting j{34 April 4, 1978 Page 2 Scott Lorenz announced there is a movement in the process where students would lose their seats on the University Senate. He reported that Mya Lake is no longer a student here at UNLV so he is going to appoint someone to take her place. This is a strong movement to eliminate the student vote. A discussion followed this announcement and Chuck White suggested that the students on the Board abstain on anything that effects the faculty. Scott further announced that he had a couple of attorneys checking on this and he would report on it later Scott then announced that he had been the only student in Nevada to attend a Lobbying seminar in Washington, D. C. While there, he will check with the FCC attorney to see where we stand with the application for the radio station. He then announced that this Saturday, April 8, the Campus Clean-up would be held and that he has contacted all the organizations going to participate. Each organization should receive a little over $100.00 for working on this project. John Hunt announced the USUNS Constitution had been ratified at the last Conference and there will be one major Conference each year with ten (10) meetings being held each year to coincide with the Board of Regents meetings. The meetings to be held on the evening prior to the scheduled Board of Regents meetings. V. Committee Reports a. Union Board Gene Russo reported there will be a Union Board meeting on April 21st and anyone wishing to attend would be welcome. He further announced that as soon as he gets the artist's rendition on the snack bar, he will give a report on it. Bids will be accepted and they have been given an alternative bid in case none of the bids are acceptable. b. Activities Board Steve Francis announced the Amazing Kreskin was scheduled for April 12th, the Unknown Comic for April 17th and gave a run-down on the Mardi Gras activities. He submitted an expenditure of $1,640.00 for the Royal Inn Dixieland Jazz Band to play at the Mardi Gras. He also reported the Hotel Association is sponsoring a 50's dance. c. Radio Board Tim McRoberts said KMPL had finally received their 89.5 watts and we will be on 91.5. Both stations will be on the same side of the radio band but we will be the stronger. He further reported that using the KMBI tower we will be only 10 miles out of town instead of 25 miles. The FCC claims we will have to apply for a waiver if we use KMBI. He stated the feasibility study Minutes - Senate Meeting j{34 April 4, 1978 Page 3 from the architect will cost approximately $45,000 to remodel the room on the second floor that they had planned for the radio station. The original feasibility study did not include the cost — so he has started looking into a mobile home to house the radio station. A large mobile home would cost in the neighborhood of $45,000 but it would belong to the station and give much more space than the proposed area in the student union building. Gene Russo asked him if there was a possiblity they might be able to get the old KBMI trailer but Tim said it would be so old that it would cost too much to fix it up. He then went on to announce that the Radio Station meetings are held every other Thursday and will be held in one of the large rooms on the second floor instead of in Scott's office. Victor Ferrell and Harry Anderson will be here next Tuesday and will be meeting at 2:00 p.m. He said if any Senators are interested, the meeting will be open for questions rather than have them during a Senate meeting. He also stated he has two passes to the NAB Convention if anyone would like to attend. VI. Old Business a. Presidential Appointment (Vote) 1. Judicial Board - Acting Chief Justice a. Jim Rosenberger Ken Holt entertained a motion for approval of Jim Rosenberger which was made and seconded. The motion was made, seconded and passed with one abstention. 2.

Bob Rather Following a discussion on the qualifications of Bob Rather, a motion was made and seconded for approval. Motion passed with 8 abstentions. 3. Impeachment Committee Jerry Gatch was given the floor and the following findings were read to the Senate. "The Special Senate Committee to investigate the possibility of impeachment of Senator Bruce Bayne met at 2:30 p.m. on April 4, 1978. Present were committee members Jerry Gatch, Lorraine Alderman and UNLV Comptroller Wayne Williams. Also present was Dr. Lome Seidman, UNLV Legal Counsel and Administrator of the UNS Code. A motion was made and passed to convene the meeting in closed personnel session. Interviews were conducted with Gary Wood and Bruce Bayne. After much discussion and in-depth evaluation of the evidence presented by Mr. Wood and the rebuttal offered by Mr. Bayne, it is the unanimous decision of the committee that no further action against Mr. Bayne is required and the issue of impeachment on the charges presented by Mr. Wood, in his statement to the committee, be dropped. Minutes - Senate Meeting j{34 April 4, 1978 Page 4 In the interest of fairness in the upcoming student elections, it is requested that the decision of this committee be publicized in the earliest possible edition of THE YELL."

Neil Slocum A discussion ensued and Bob Biale said Mr. Slocum had not been here for five meetings. Joe Matvay agreed and said he felt Mr. Marquis, present in Mr. Slocum's absence, should be hired in his place. Scott reported we need someone with a legal background and that Mr. Slocum had been retained for that purpose. Chuck White stated he thought Mr. Slocum was hired as legal advisor and not Parliamentarian. That at the time he was hired, Dr. Cassese had not resigned. Ken Holt reported that Mr. Slocum is doing this at a very nominal fee of $150.00 a month. After further discussion, Chuck White made a motion to table this vote, which was seconded and voted upon. Results proved 8 for, 10 opposed, and 6 abstentions. Motion failed so this topic went back into discussion. Gene Russo asked if the Parliamentarian's duties would be over May 1st to which Scott replied "Yes". There was a call to the question, seconded and voted upon. Motion passed with 13 for, 10 against and 2 abstentions. 5. Activities Board (Vote) a. Jane Fonda Ken Holt entertained a motion for approval which was seconded. A discussion followed with Rob Nielsen asking how much the contract called for. It was determined that the Jane Fonda appearance had not been submitted so the Chair ruled any further discussion out of order and stated the vote will be on the next agenda. VII. New Business a. Radio Board Stipends Following a discussion, Bob Biale suggested a monthly $7.50 stipend be paid to each Radio Board member. Tim McRoberts took exception to this amount and stated that the radio board is doing what they can to help get the station going for the University because they want to do it. That he was sure they would continue whether they received a stipend check or not. Ken reported that he thought this should be taken up after the elections. Jerry Gatch made a motion to issue the Radio Station Board members a "Done Good" award which was seconded. The motion passed with 3 abstentions. b. Matching Funds Requests (Submit) 1.
