This item was mistakenly left off the agenda. Sorry for any inconvenience this error may have caused. RO/rs J UN 6, 1981 FROM: Dave Levins TO: CSUN SENATE SUBJ: Appointment of Intramurals Director Attached is a copy of the letter I sent to the Executive Board in requesting the Intramurals Directorship. Please review this letter prior to todays senate meeting. I feel that the points I made to the Executive Board also apply to the Senate. My work schedule doesn't allow me to be present for the entire meeting this evening, however, I will be there by 5 o'clock. Dave Levins Asst. Sports Coordinator City of Las Vegas cc; CSUN Executive Board 1097 Westminster Avenue Las Vegas, Nevada 89119 May 8, 1981 CSUN Executive Board University of Nevada Las Vegas Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 Executives: I am writing this letter in lieu of a formal resume1. Therefore, it will not be necessary for you to sleep through the aspects of my past that have nothing to do with the position I seek. It is my intention to show how you will personally benefit as will the student body if my services are attained. During the previous administration, many key positions with CSUN were filled with un-qualified persons. The reasoning behind these appointments leaves much to speculation. By appointing unqualified people to important positions the previous executive board not only hurt the student body, but they also reduced their own crediability» Therefore, in the interest of CSUN as a whole and yourselves in particular, I hope you will give me the opportunity to advance myself. I seek the position of Intramural Director for CSUN. I feel and hope you will agree that I am amply qualified for this position due to my know-ledge of CSUN and recreational sports. During the summer of 1978 I was appointed to Vice-Chairman of the CSUN Appropriations Board and served for two years in this position. I was Acting Vice-President of Finance during the formation of the 1978-79 budget. In October of 1979 I was elected to the CSUN Senate from the College of Business and Economics. This, I feel, gives me the working knowledge of CSUN that is so important for this position. For the past two years, I have been employed on a part time and full time basis by the City of Las Vegas Department of Recreation and Leisure Activities in the Sports Division. Originally I was em-ployed as a field supervisor and have received regular promotions. At the present time, ray title is Assistant Sports Coordinator. My responsibilities range from scheduling games to dealing with dis-ciplinary problems. I have learned that the key to a good sports program is organization and prior planning. While organization and prior planning are important to the sports aspect of the program, tight controls on equipment and wages are necessary to insure that the student body receives the most for its money. My major area of study at the University is Accounting and I find Cost Accounting particularly fascinating. This aspect of my education could be of value to CSUN in seeing to the correction of gaping flaws in the equipment and wage controls of the Intramurals Program. • - I.am looking forward to working with and contributing to my student government once again, and I hope you will give me the opportunity to do so. I will supply references upon request. uave Levins Assistant Sports Coordinator City of Las Vegas.
