Explanation of Points of Procedure by Parliamentarian (Joe Matvay, SM) Joe Matvay explained that a Point of Information takes precedence over a Point of Order, and it is simply a request for information. This Point of Information is addressed to the Speaker, but can apply to a parliamentary point or something someone else is talking about. A Point of Order is an objection to an error in procedure. Point of Privilege is used to register a complaint. For example, if somebody was intending to disrupt a meeting, a Senator could call for a Point of Privi-lege, and it is decided by the Chair. None of these are debatable, none requires a seconded, none are amendable, and all are decided by the Chair. VIII. New Business A. Vacant Senate Seats (nominations) 1.

Activities - 903 Respectfully submitted by: Florida Edwards CSUN Secretary Attachments: Revised Budgets for: CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS FROM: Marshal S. Willick, Speaker of the Senate SUBJECT: Resolution of Bureaucratization Having been requested by the Senate to do so, I have come up with what appears to be a workable means of insuring both smooth and quick operation of CSLFW entities, and the proper maintenance of checks and balances by the Senate. Basically, any action or expenditure desired by a "Senate Agency" would be initiated immediately when that Agency decided to take action. "Senate Agency" in this case would refer to such entities as the Appropriations Board, the Yell Board, the Activities Board, and the Organizations Board. The Activities Board (for example) would have a meeting and to decide to make an expenditure. John Purvis would initiate the proper paper work for that expenditure immediately. At the Senate Meeting following the Board action, the Minutes for that Activities Board Meeting could be read off to the Senate (supportive information such as contracts might have to be in print), and the Senate would then take a single vote on whether to accept the Minutes of that Meeting and all actions taken therein. In this case, the Board's decision would fulfill the "introduction" section of the Constitutional provision for "the regular Senate session following the date of the introduction to the Senate of this business." The Senate would retain final authority by ultimately approving, amending, or disapproving the Minutes, and so the action taken by that entity. Funds would not be disbursed until after final approval. I believe that this should satisfy everyone involved, since Board operations will ultimately be speeded by at least a week. We will cut down tremendously on both personnel time and expenditures for copying, and we will still satisfy the need for Senate authority of the several ways to approach this problem, I feel that this will be most workable. 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 TO: CSUN Executive Officers and Senators DATE: November 14, 1978 rjb AGENDA SENATE MEETING it 25 November 28, 197S Moyer Student Union Building Room 201 I.
