Dave Gist presented a budget estimate - based on quotes from various vendors - including miscellaneous, emergencies, and slight overhead. Tim Herlosky indicated be would ask for a $10,000.00 budget ceiling on the Senate floor. Dave Gist indicated Mardi Gras was shaping up well and the posters looked good. Waiting on prices at which food would be sold before making up further posters. Muscle Man contest had originally been planned with $50, $25, and $15 cash prizes, but when it was realized that cash prizes would jeapordize the amataur standing of certain contestants, it was decided to award trophies and gift certificates to Nautilus instead. Street Scene was discussed. Bill Botos indicated that the flats used in construction of the street scene could be used next year and following years for various purposes, and this could be used in argument before the Senate. Craig indicated he knew a guy who would paint the flats for a case of beer. A letterer was still needed — a suggestion was made to ask Jerry Ortega for a recommendation.

Bil.1 Botos questioned price and expense of streamers. $200.00 was needed for streamers for the Octoberfest, and only $100.00 had been bud-geted for the Mardi Gras streamers — would this buy enough streamers? Consensus: locate all unused leftover streamers from past events, and spend whatever necessary to purchase the balance of streamers for Mardi Gras decorating. Bill Botos indicated the contract with the Dixieland Jazz Band was scheduled to be finalized the following Thursday afternoon. The Chair introduced Raul Medrano from Texas. Medrano proposed a new event to take place during Mardi Gras, suc.h as they do in Texas — a hard rock "Air Guitar" contest — groups mimic to Rock records over the P.A. system. Bill Botos said sounded like a good idea, but not a New Orleans theme and more appropriate for something like the "Salute to the Stars" or a noon-time event. Consensus: air guitar contest better suited to Octoberfest or Homecoming or noontime event. KULV would probably co-op to promote. Raul Medrano left his phone number (878-8359) for future reference. V. MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY Dave Gist asked the MDA representative how chairmen get donations. MDA suggested that large, local organizations were more willing to parti-cipate than national firms or small, local people. MDA also indicated that their experience showed that women were more succcssful soliciting donations and participation than were men. MDA also suggested a special "thank you" flyer to be placed at vendor's place of business to advertise their donation and ensure that they would not be "touched" twice. Flyer could also be used as a letter of introduction. Dave Gist brought up the subject of prizes. MDA suggested that casinos might present comps for dinners and shows. Need a "medium nice" first place prize. Suggested that ads be traded in the Yell for prizes donated. Letter of introduction could solicit prizes, promise ad in Yell , and describe event and dates. It was decided that the Marathon would begin at 8:00 p.m. and extend until 8:00 p.m. the following evening. MDA suggested that breaks and meals be set up and arranged. 7-Up would provide all drinks in exchange for publicity. Grocery stores might also donate. Don McC.omb at 7-11 was suggested as a good contact for donations. Donut shops were also a possibility. MDA indicated that a registered nurse should he on duty at all times with ice packs, aspirins, band-aids, etc. Bill Botos remarked that a good logo for MDA was needed.

Matching Funds Account and this should be taken into account in awarding funds. Organizatioris Meeting Thursday, March 22, 1979 Page 2 (Matching Funds - Cont.) Chair introduced John Purvis, CSUN Business Manager, who gave the following information regarding the budget. The Matching Funds.budget had been cut from $7,200 to $4,200 by the Appropriations Board, due to limited requests for Matching Funds. This was not the only cut — the Senate had cut the over-all CSUN budget in all areas. The Appropriations Board had been asked to reconsider their decision, but would not meet on the issue again until May 1. John Purvis asked how many organizations stil.J intended to submit Matching Funds Requests by May 1. Three repre-sentatives raised their hands. The Chair then announced that four requests for matching funds were being submitted and would be discussed for approval at this meeting: 1. UNLV Chamber Singers for $500.00 2. Hotel Association for $500.00 3. Alpha Tau Omega for $500.00 4. UNLV Art Club for $2SO.00 Chair commented that only $450 would be left in the Matching Funds account if all the above were passed at face value. The Chair asked each organization to outline their request. 1. UNLV Chamber Singers for $500.00 - Not Approved Chamber Singers sponsor an annual bus tour of Nevada to attend several concerts around the state. The tour is open to all students and is consid-ered good recruitment for the UNLV Music Department and UNLV in general. Chamber Singers have obtained grants and have put on performances all year raising the additional money for this tour — have raised $2,600 as of now and request $500 to cover the balance needed. Mike Fercheck expressed concern with the precedent of funding such a trip; limited opportunity and limited interest. Dennis requested and re-ceived clarification of the budget breakdown. Dale suggested that only $400 be awarded so there was not chance of over-pay. The suggestion was not followed up and a vote was called on the original motion of awarding UNLV Chamber Singers $500.00. (9) voted in favor, (12) were opposed, and (5) abstained. The motion failed and the money was not awarded. 2. UNLV Hotel Association for $500.00 - Approved Hotel Association is sponsoring 3 days of sessions at a strip hotel featuring speakers and luncheons. Subject included were careers in sales, food service, and management. Open to all students. 100 guests attended the last series and this is considered by the Hotel Association to demon-strate the professionalism of the school and publicize UNLV in general. Organizations Meet ing Thursday, March 22, 1979 Pace 3 (Matching Funds - Cont.) (UNLV Hotel Association - Cont.) Concern was expressed about the luncheons — was the fund subsidizing people's lunches — particularly hotel meals at twice their value? H.A. rep responded that meeting rooms and lecture ha]Is would not be rented by the hotel unless the party used their meal facilities. Guests were paying $4.00 toward their meals. Overall costs included accommodations for guest speakers. The advertising amount was questioned and the H.A. rep indicated that ads would be placed in the YELT. at $40 each. Dennis moved to deny the award due to the limited campus interest in such an event. Danny responded that ads placed in the YELL would reach all students at UNLV and that many more than Business or Hotel students would be interested in such a series. Dale seconded Dennis's motion to deny because Cahmber Singers had been denied due to its limited interest, and this event was also limited interest, and there was only $2200 left in the account. Cindi of H.A. protested that interest would not be limited — event was open to all. Danny moved to remove the motion to deny. Dale OK'd the removal. Dennis moved to award $250 instead of the $500. Dale moved to amend the motion to award $100 only, and Rebecca seconded. Danny objected to the above amendments to the original motion and was seconded. A vote was called, on the objection. (16) in favor, (5) opposed, and (1) abstained. The objection was carried. Danny moved to amend bac
