Senator Cohen stated that if the senators who left the meeting last week did so because they were no longer sena-tors, they should not be in attendance at today's meeting for the same reason.

Senator Cohen spoke in favor of leaving the absences unexcused. Senator Mounts stated that he had asked that the cross debate between him and Senator Ohriner should not have been placed in the minutes.

Vice President Shaffer Pam Levins, CSUN Business Manager, will be conducting workshops regarding the CSUN budget on Wednesday, November 23 at 1:00 and MINUTES SENATE MEETING #2 NOVEMBER 8, 19 8 3 PAGE 2 5 6:00 p.m. for those interested in attending. Vice President Shaffer yielded the floor to Pam Levins. Pam Levins made a brief statement regarding the freeze which has been placed regarding the publication of the Ye11in' Rebel and distributed an outline of the violations and information which she could disclose at this time. The following are her comments: "I would like to make a brief statement in regards to the freeze which has been placed on all expenditures related to the publication of the November 15 and 22 issues of the Yellin' Rebel. First of all, I am distributing an outline of the viola-tions of Board of Regents' Policies that have been brought to my attention. As you can see, these violations involve both the CSUN Constitution and Business Center South's Pro-cedures; since the Board of Regents approved both the CSUN Constitution and the Business Center South's Procedures, these infractions are violations of Board of Regent's Policies. To-morrow at the CSUN Executive Board Meeting, I will present to Franco Frantellizzi, Yellin' Rebel Executive Editor, and George Lorenzo, Yellin' Rebel Managing Editor a list of requirements that must be met in order to lift the freeze. A copy of these requirements will be distributed to the CSUN Senate on Thurs-day morning. The actual length of time the freeze will be in effect will be determined by the actions of the Executive Editor of the Yellin' Rebel. I stand ready to assist the Executive Editor in meeting his requirements by promptly processing all com-pleted forms and offering advice when requested. Herman West-fall, Vice President for Business Affairs, has informed me his staff will give top priority to the processing of all forms relative to the freeze. But the simple fact remains, it is the Executive Editor that must attempt to resolve the viola-tions in question. The intent of the freezing of Yellin' Rebel expenditures was to meet CSUN's responsibilities as outlined in the Board of Regents' Policies. If I did not meet these responsibilities, I would be derelict in my duties as CSUN Business Manager." A copy of the outline of the violations of Board of Regents' policy is attached. Pam Levins yielded the floor to Dean Daniels. The Dean stated that it is important that communication be established to determine what has happened and what can happen in regard to the situation with the Yellin' Rebel newspaper. Dean Daniels stated that there was no other reason for placing the freeze on the newspaper other than the reasons which Pam Levins outlined. The Senators and Department Heads should view their experiences with CSUN as preparatory experiences in a"living, learning laboratory." The Dean stated that the freeze on the Yellin' Rebel was not brought about by the newspaper alone, and he does not wish MINUTES SENATE MEETING #2 NOVEMBER 8, 19 8 3 PAGE 2 6 to point the finger or place the entire blame for the situation on any one person or department. Student fiscal accountability has been deplorable. Two years ago, a regent threatened to stop the collection of funds for student government due to the abuse of funding. This is the first time since John Purvis that CSUN has had a business manager who is actually taking care of CSUN's business. This morning Dean Daniels had a meeting with Pres Goodall, Lyle Rivera, Vice President Westfall and Pam Levins For the reasons stated by the CSUN Business Manager, Goodall Rivera and Westfall agreed with the action which had been taken to facilitate proper adherance to Board of Regents' Policies and fiscal responsibility. He urged CSUN to put aside all of the nonsense and treat the situation as a learning experience. This is not a win, lose, right, wrong situation. This will be the first time as Dean where he would not have to explain CSUN's action to the Board of Re-gents. Dean Daniels stated that he is totally behind unin-terrupted publication of the Ye11in' Rebel and supports CSUN Business Manager, Pam Levins, one hundred percent. The Senate should see what will be presented at tomorrow's executive board meeting before it makes a decision. The freeze on the newspaper is not a punitive measure and was not enacted to infringe upon first amendment rights. Pam Levins has sustained abuse due to the action taken re-garding the newspaper, and he, as the Dean of Students Ser-vices, will not tolerate this behavior. The emergency reso-lution proposed by Senator Ohriner was inappropriate and unresearched. Dean Daniels stated that "figures don't lie; liars figure." Senator Haldeman asked the Dean what action he recommmended to the senate. Dean Daniels suggested that the senate wait to see what occurs at the executive board meeting tomorrow before making its decision. Senator Haldeman asked whether an emergency meeting would be possible. Senate President Clay stated that today's meeting can be recessed to another time. Senator Haldeman asked that an informal poll of the senators be taken to determine a time for meeting after the executive board meeting. Senate President Clay asked who would attend a meeting tomor row at 5:00 or Thursday at 4:00. Senator Eglet asked whether the purpose of the recess was to obtain necessary information. Senate President Clay stated that was correct. Senator Cohen asked whether Pam Levins had a list of the violations and information which she will be disclosing at the executive board meeting. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #2 NOVEMBER 8, 19 8 3 PAGE 2 7 Pam Levins replied that she did have the information, but did not wish to disclose the information until Execu-tive Editor, Franco Frantellizzi, had the opportunity to consider and plan a course of action. Senator Ohriner asked whether it would be necessary to place an item on the agenda for the senate to activate the Yellin' Rebel and if so, will action have to be taken before the next senate meeting. Pam Levins replied that it would depend on the results of the executive board meeting tomorrow. Senate President Clay stated that she will continue with executive board announcements. IV. Executive Board Announcements B. Senate President Clay Lorin Altman has resigned from her Education College senate seat. There is an opening on the Library Committee. Thurs-day is the deadline for senate preference sheets. Senate President Clay announced that she must leave the meeting now and would like to suspend the rules and move to New Busi-ness, item I. VIII. New Business I. Approval of the 14th Session Senate President Pro Tempore- 1. Robert Eglet Senator Flourens moved to approve Robert Eglet as Senate President Pro Tempore for the 14th Session. Senator Fried-man seconded the motion. Senator Haldeman stated that the CSUN Constitution states that the senate shall select a pro tempore from among its members. As a result, the 14th session should be the ses-sion that appoints its pro tempore, not the 13th session. Senator Eglet stated that this item can be voted down and the senators' votes will reflect that. The motion to approve Robert Eglet as Senate President Pro Tempore for the 14th Session passed with 10 in favor, 7 opposed and 1 abstaining(Hawley).
