Motion to approve by Senator Turner, seconded by Senator Nalder. Senator Romero states that he thinks that this is a good idea. Who is in charge of orientation? If MSU is in charge then we shouldn't have to pay for this. Senator Jackson states that the figures don't add up. Senator Birdsell states that this would be the maximum that it would cost. Senator Nalder asks who normally pays for this? How many students will this help? It is a good idea for student to see what CSUN does. Senator Birdsell states that there will be a mailer attached to the orientation packets and that will give us an idea of how many students will use the shuttle. This is a great service to get our name out. Senator Smith asks what is going to be required as far as insurance is concerned? Point of Information from Senator Turner that the County bus service would be more than willing to help out. Senator Smith states that we should vote this down and see what would happen with the buses. Senator Yohe states that he is against this coming out our one of our accounts and it should come from the administration. Senator Yan states that she doesn't think that we are helping the administration because there has never been a demand for this before. Senator Martin states that he is in favor of this idea and that it is a good idea to get our name out with the new students. Senator Turner asks how the Executive Board voted? Point of information from President Kostman that if you table this then it dies. Either approve it or disapprove it. Senator Turner states that the thing that bothers him the most is the insurance. Point of information from President Kostman that the Executive Board did not pass this to bring it before the Senate. If you approve this then we can squash it once we find out what is going on. Senator Bioxo states that this is a positive aspect to partake in and she will vote yes. SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-15 page t h i r t e e n VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONT.

Point of Information form President Kostman that there will be RSVP1s being sent back in to let us know about how many people will be needing transportation. Senator Pobst asks who will determine which 50 freshman will get t-shirts? How many drivers will there be? Will the MSU take care of the mailer? Senator Jackson states that we should remove $250 for the t-shirts. Senator Romero states that the shirts are a good idea. Senator Birdsell states that the main objective is to get our name out.

Approval of $850.00 for the shuttle services during the summer orientation to be encumbered out of the 2708 (OSI) account. Senator Nalder states that the shuttle is a good idea. We should encumber the money and then see if Jay Jay can find another way. Senator Yohe states that all he has been hearing is how this will make us look good. Why don't we encumber $10,000 and build a shrine in the middle of the Valerie Pida plaza for Student Government so we can all worship it every morning at sunbreak. This is sick and we are not helping anyone. We should spend the money on advertising for our events. Why don't we go to the orientation and give a speech for the freshman.

Senator Pobst asks if there is a store that sells CSUN shirts? Senator Bioxo states that everyone should chip in to buy the shirts. The students should not have to pay for our clothing. Senator Vodrazka states that the shirts are not all for us they will also go to the people helping. Senator Rosenthal states that the drivers should wear shirts. We shouldn't make the students pay for them. I don't think that we need 50 t-shirts. Senator Bioxo states that these would be our shirts and it isn't right to make the students of this university pay for them. Senator Romero states that the shirts are something that we can use over and over again. Motion to call for the question by Senator Turner. Motion passes 11-4-0.

SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-15 page thirteen VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONT. Senator Nalder states that the Executive Board is considering taking away the position of Appropriations Director and by waiving this Bylaw it gives them the chance to think about it. Senator Romero states that if we waive this bylaw then there will be no appropriations director until the Executive Board decides what they will want to do with the position and they turn it over to the Senate to act on it. Senator Yohe states that Appropriations is a powerless board, but who would be involved in drawing up the new budget? Point of Information from President Kostman that Lori Snyder will do the budget.

Motion to amend the resolution to read: III. Financial Accountability The Rebel Yell Business Manager shall give a budget projection at the first regular Senate Meeting of each Fall semester and a profit/loss statement at the last regular Senate Meeting of each Fall semester. The Senate will review this resolution at the first regular Senate Meeting of the Spring semester for financial accountability only, thru the 1995-96 academic year. Motion made by Senator Turner, seconded by Senator Rosenthal. Senator Turner states that this is because we are giving them student money and we want to know what they are doing with the student money. We don't want editorial control this giveSthe student^r-s a voice. Senator Nalder states that she doesn't agree with this. They shouldn't have to report to us about their financial accountability. To many things can happen and they should have total independence. We don't need to scrutinize. Senator Smith asks if she is saying that they could go out and buy a new car for themselves? Senator states that they have the same channels that we have to follow in order to get any money. Senator Yohe states that he doesn't remember scrutinizing Rebelvision and he yeilds the floor to Ched Whitney. Senator Yohe retains the floor and states that his whole problem with this is tat we are giving up control of the paper, we are giving up our ownership. I don't think the paper should come and report to us. As far as rescinding this resolution, or reviewing this yearly, because who knows who will be on the Senate next year. They may decide to change everything which will change the entire resolution. There is in effect no one in charge of the Yell the Board is non-existent and there is no one in control of the Yell. I think we should re-enact the old resolution for a week just so there is someone in control. Point of Information from Senator Turner that we can't re-enact the old one. Senator Jackson that he has had this Yell stuff and had researched and decided how he was going to vote. I think we are starting to beat a dead horse with this. We need to make a decision and get this over with. Senator Turner states that we do not want editorial control over the paper, but I will not hand over a blank check to anyone and I know no one in this room would do the same thing. When SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-15 page thirteen VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS CONT. we appropriate money to Board and Directors we don't hand over a blank check they have accountability. We want to know what they are doing. What makes this any different. For those of you who were not aware that in the end of February there were several hundred papers stacked up beside the book store for a while. Those papers were a week and a half old. By not making them financially accountable this kind of stuff happens. They are spending our money and some people don't care. As far as the review every year this is just an extra way to help them if they need it. Senator Smith yeilds the floor to Director Marshall. Senator Bioxo asks why there were papers behind the bookstore? Senator Yohe states that the way things stand he is in favor of the paper coming and reporting to the Senate because we own the paper. But under the new policy we don't own the board the Advisory Board owns the Board. Maybe we should make an amendment that the money we allocate will only go to printing costs this would solve the whole dilemma. I am requesting a 2 minute recess. Senate President Benneman calls a 2 minute recess. The meeting is called back to order. Move into a vote on the amendment. Motion passes 7-6-1. Senators Martin, Yohe, Bioxo, Nalder, Rosenthal, and Yan opposed. Senator Mangual abstaining. Motion to amend the resolution to read "IV.

Motion passes 7-5-2. Senators Yohe, Vodrazka, Nalder, Jackson, and Yan opposed. Senators Bioxo and Mangual abstaining. Move into a discussion on the amended resolution. SENATE MINUTES NO. 23-15 page thirteen VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS CONT. Senator Turner yeilds the floor to Mary Hausch. Senator Yohe asks what about going to the regents? Point of information from Senator Turner that there is no Board. Senator Yohe explains his options of running the paper which he feels that the weeding out process as the best solution. I don't want to pay for the paper twice which is what will happen if this goes to the regents. President Kostman states that I strongly encourage you to enact a resolutio
