Minutes - Senate Meeting 1127 December 12, 1978 Page 2 Agenda Items The Speaker announced that under Section 5, Executive Board nominations Item F should be added being a vote on the Yearbook Editor. The nomination for this seat is Buck Steele. The Speaker also announced that under Section 7, Item C a letter b. should be added with the nomination of Tim Nelson for the Hotel College Senate Seat. He also announced that under Section 6, item D should be taken off the Agenda, however, there will be a few announcements during that time. S.E.F. Committee Seat The Speaker announced that Senator Haldeman has resigned his seat on the S.E.F. Committee, and this seat is now open for anyone who is interested. (Susana Reyes arrived at 4:12 p.m. - excused.) Letter from Dr. Seidman The Speaker informed the Senate that he has spoken to Dr. Seidman about the letter he is going to send down on the legal aspects of Matching Funds pertaining to religious organizations and this letter should be ready in a short time after the research is completed. CSUN Logo The Speaker informed the Senate that they have still not decided as to whether or not to offer a prize for the winner of the CSUN logo contest. This will come up in Open Discussion. Fall Enrollment Results The Speaker informed the Senate that he has received the results of the fall enrollemtn and the only change in the Senate seating will be the transfer of one University College seat loss and a one seat gain with the Allied Health College. All of the other Senate seats will stay the same. Fee Schedule Committee President White announced that he has been appointed to the Fee Schedule Committee. This Committee is used to study the design of the fee structure, and especially interested in going back to flat fee basis than a per credit basis. Ticket Scalping President White announced that due to the scalping of tickets the Intercolle-giate Athletic Council has designed a new method of distributing student tickets. All student tickets will be stamped indicating that they arc student tickets, and all students must enter the Convention Center through a special student gate where a student I.D. must be shown. Day Care Center President White announced that CSUN does not have the financial commitment this year to provide adequate funding for the Day Care Center.

It could be turned over to Dr. Glennen in Educational Services, but Dr. Glennen has assured the Executive Board that nothing will be changed within the Day Care Services. Minutes - Senate Meeting 1127 December 12, 1978 Page 2 The other alternative is to turn the project over to Dr. Kunkel of the Education College. Dr. Kunkel decided he would like the project and he has made a budget proposal for the project. It was also announced that Dr. Kunkel has given his tentative approval to take over the program. Dr. Kunkel has proposed three phases of renovation for the program, and Dr. Glennen felt that would be better instead of putting out all of the money at once. President White announced that the basic concept of turning it over to the Education College is still in the benefit of the students. They will still be getting the same services, it will save the students money, and their children will be getting a much better program. John Hunt announced that the main thing that the Senate should take into consideration is that the Administration opposed having the Day Care Center program, so the students took over the project. Now the Administration wants the program back. Mr. Hunt announced that the services that were provided over at the Day Care Center, a small minority of the student body (1.8%) used the facilities. Right now the Day Care Center has 121 children and only 59 of the children over there are children of students, 40 of the children are those of non-students, and 20 of the children are those of students carrying less than seven credits.
