ANNOUNCEMENTS A. STATE OF THE CAMPUS ADDRESS by Student Body President Boixo-this semester we have a lot of things ahead of us, the Legislative session that is coming up. We are now part of the Nevada Student Alliance which is part of the Community College of Southern Nevada system and we are having a meeting with the Presidents Council on February 9th that should set the stage for our plans for legislation. There are several fees being proposed, Parking and Traffic would like to give us a fee that is proposed at $30.00. They would like to increase the Health fee so that it can be completely subsidized by the student fee rather that the per credit fee that they are getting now. There are prose and cons to both of these issues but you need to get with your constituents and get back to me. At the Executive Board meeting today I made a directive for the Directors because last semester we spent too much time not knowing what could be done by who. Office of Student Information will be working with the Admissions program and get students out to the high schools, we need to be recruiting our own local talent. She will also be working on a marketing plan with the Entertainment & Programming director who will be getting the whole semester on the calendar in the next two weeks which will include bands and a lecture series (5-7 lecturers) and an alternative art week. She will be getting these done so that OSI can working on a marketing plan to advertise these well in advance. Student Services will be working specifically on student security. Nevada Student Affairs will be working on an assessment poll so that we can find out what the students want from us. Organizations Board will be working on the Fun Run that we are going to try to put together, to raise money for the library. The Presidential search went well, the four candidates that we have are very well qualified. We will be having open sessions with the candidates so you need to get with you constituents and find out what they would like to know so that it can be asked during these times. Looking forward to the Senate and Executive Board working together to get this semester off to a good start. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT BOIXO - Adam Sandler was postponed because of low ticket sales until March, the $10,000.00 item to be considered will be refunded if the tickets are all sold. The first two weeks of February is when the candidates will be here. The radio spots were funded by Barbara Hubbard so we are not at a loss for this, but she is down about $11,000.00 at this point in time. We made no promises, everything was pending Senate approval. The $10,000.00 is to rent out Artemus Ham Hall and paying Adam Sandler. I will be graduating in May and there is a class I have to take on Monday nights at 7:00p.m. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT announcements by SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH - he needs election board members from the Senate, needs Faculty Excellence members from the Senate, anyone who would like to be a non paid lobbyist needs to speak to him. The End of the Year Banquet is set. Director evaluations will be out next week. He needs your Faculty Excellence nominations at next weeks meeting. Currently he is the interim Elections Board Director, and elections have been sent to purchasing. PAGE 2 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH - you have your Roberts Rules of Order books in front of you. A reminder that if you have any beepers or phones to turn them off during the meetings as well as noisy watches. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO -1 along with Student Body President Boixo and Vice President Lagomarsino will be applying for the non-paid lobbyist position. V. BOARD & COMMITTEE REPORTS A. SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS a. Rules & Ethics, CHAIR SCHWARTZ - Rules item on this agenda will be out of order because no one could find any rules to turn in so it will be on next weeks agenda. b. Campus Safety & Awareness, CHAIR RAY - absent (no report) c. Bylaws, CHAIR BLOCK - needs schedules from committee so that she can set up a meeting schedule for the semester. d. Ad hoc Constitutional Revision, CHAIR CAMPBELL - also waiting for schedules, needs them because we will be having a meeting in the next couple of weeks. e.

DIRECTORS REPORTS a. Entertainment & Programming, DIRECTOR REEVES -1 also have a 7:00p.m. class so I may not be able to give a report at every meeting. Sorry these reports are late but the fax machine was down and the contracts just came in. b. Nevada Student Affairs, DIRECTOR JOHANNSSON - report given by SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH - she was in a car accident over the break and it caused her to miss out on some work, she is working right now on an assessment survey and recruiting with Admissions. She has the Board of Regents Biographies with all the Regents with the acception of one. She will be trying to get the Regents to come to campus for student interaction and she would like to continue working with the Navajo Community College and they have invited her to come visit. She is unable to be here because of a 7:00p.m. class. c. Office of Student Information, DIRECTOR WALLACE - over break I put up the Student Government booth at both orientations. In the last two weeks we have given out all of the bookmarks so we will need to order more. I will be working on the OSI page for the newspaper. There will be an item on the Senate agenda soon for sweatshirts for Student Government. I don't have a class at 7:00 but I do have a class from 4:00 to 6:30 so if we are off site I may be a little late for the meetings. d. Organizations Board, DIRECTOR PHILLIPS - card swipings going pretty well, once the kinks are worked out it will be more efficient than collecting ID's. e. Student Services, DIRECTOR GREENHALGH - (passed out career day host applications) I need these back by the third so if you need help with a resume let PAGE 3 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 me know. This a good opportunity for any seniors who will be looking for jobs in the near future. I will be having two people I would like to have assigned to my board, they are Senator Fleischman and Senator Rivera. We will be having a ticket booth downstairs in the Student Union. C. BUSINESS MANAGEMENT REPORTS a. Consolidated Student Business Manager, BUSINESS MANAGER CALLISON - (will give report after New Business) I will need a liaison when I get further into my pregnancy. b.

January 27th we will be having a show where students can voice there complaints and opinions. D. FACULTY SENATE SEAT REPORTS SENATOR SCHWARTZ - Admissions and Scholarship both met over the break Admissions went over admissions for special students and there status, there will be another meeting soon to discuss transfer credits. Scholarship we discussed a $20,000.00 scholarship that we gave out and the requirements for other ones. SENATOR MORROW - we haven't met yet for Code but I will be putting the schedule together for the semester, I'm trying to be more involved. VL UNFINISHED BUSINESS B. Approval of Organizations Board Funding Request for Sports Officials Association for $500.00 to be encumbered from the 2704 (Org) account (tabled at meeting 25-05 on December 7, 1994); Motion to remove from the table made by SENATOR SCHWARTZ, seconded by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN. Move into a vote. Motion passes 18-0-0. Christina Lopez the representative for Sports Officials Association - we are requesting the money for a pre-season basketball tournament that is open to all students. We usually serve 200 students. SENATOR EI SEN - 1 think Senator Tolbert was concerned with the $280.00 for the Rebel Yell add when the OSI page is available. Ms. Lopez - we were planning to use the add and the OSI page. PAGE 4 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 SENATOR CAMPBELL - (read a statement by Senator Tolbert the summary as follows) the games were run inefficiently and students who were officiating were also playing, I see this as a conflict in interests. I hope that they are able to solve the problems before we fund this event. Ms. Lopez - the last tournament we had was an experimental one that we put on ourselves and we informed them. The day of the tournament only half the teams showed up so we changed the schedule so that the teams got to play more than one game. Discussion followed concerning the running of the Sports Officials events not related to the item on the agenda (refer to audio tape). Move into a vote. Motion fails 6-8-4. SENATORS FLEISCHMAN, CAMPBELL, BLOCK, PIDA, FAYYAD, LAXAGUE, WONG, and ZUREK opposed. SENATORS MCLAIN, QUALLS, SMITH, and MORROW abstained. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO calls a brief recess at 7:50p.m. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO calls the meeting back to order at 7:57p.m. UNKNOWN SOURCE - states 'you little freak'. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Approval of expending an amount not to exceed $700.00 for a carton (4 per pkg.) of copier toner to be encumbered out of the 2702 (Gen) account; Motion to approve made by SENATOR SMITH, seconded by SENATOR LAXAGUE. Move into a vote. Motion passes 18-0-0. Item B is out of order. C. Discussion/Approval on Senate Resolution 25-01 as submitted by SENATOR SCHWARTZ; Motion to approve by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN, seconded by SENATOR ZUREK. SENATOR SCHWARTZ - what it said for those of you who don't have a copy it states that although we funded the tutor program we will not do it in the future and we will inform the Administration that we will not be responsible for this type of future funding. SENATOR CAMPBELL - this is a little pretentious on our part and could cause a lot of confusion as to who we will and wont fund. PAGE 5 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 SENATOR SCHWARTZ - when we passed the money for the tutoring many of the Senators said that they didn't want this to set a presidence where everyone comes to us for funding. SENATOR EISEN - the wording seems rather harsh, we need to explain why we cannot fund in the future because we have already spent $15,000.00. SENATOR SCHWARTZ - we can insert something like that but it needs to be in legal form so that is why it sounds to dry and harsh. SENATOR RIVERA - sometimes you have to use harsh wording to get the point across. SENATOR MORROW - this needs to be done on a case by case basis. Move into a vote. Motion passes 17-0-1. SENATOR EISEN abstained. D. Discussion/Approval of Senate Resolution 25-02 as submitted by SENATOR SCHWARTZ; Motion to approve made by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN, seconded by SENATOR FAYYAD. SENATOR SCHWARTZ - the elections have been sent to bid since this has been written but it doesn't hurt to pass it so that the Executive Board is aware of the way we would like this handled in the future. SENATOR CAMPBELL - this is already stated in the Constitution so I don't see a reason to vote on it. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN - this is something good to have on record there are people who are not aware that these things are in the constitution and this will put them on notice of how we feel. Move into a vote. Motion passes 15-3-0. SENATORS LAXAGUE, CAMPBELL and SMITH opposed. Motion to waive bylaw 39 till 10:00p.m. tonight made by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN, seconded by SENATOR VODRAZKA. Move into a vote. Motion fails 7-11-0. (list of names for vote was not given on audio tape). Items E and F are out of order. PAGE 6 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 G. Approval of monthly stipend expenditures in the amount of $300.00 to be paid retroactive from November 28, 1994 to October 31, 1995 plus a twelve (12) credit fee waiver for the position of CSUN Senate President Pro Tempore (Patrick T.C. Smith) to be encumbered out of the FY 94-95 CSUN 2702 (Gen) account; Motion to table till next meeting made by SENATOR SCHWARTZ, seconded by SENATOR MORROW. Move into a vote. Motion passes 17-0-1.

Introduction of Senate Bill 25-01 as submitted by SENATORS SCHWARTZ and PIDA; Point of Information by SENATOR SCHWARTZ - this cannot be discussed right now it must be sent to bylaws committee first. Motion to commit to the Senate Bylaws committee by SENATOR RIVERA, seconded by SENATOR MORROW. Move into a vote. Motion passes 18-0-0. CSUN Business Management Report - refer to audio tape for specifics, vm. PUBLIC COMMENT IX. OPEN DISCUSSION Point of Personal Privilege by SENATOR FLEISCHMAN. SENATOR SCHWARTZ - for the bylaws committee I hope you can get that bill back on through as soon as possible, hopefully you can get a meeting soon, for anyone who has PAGE 7 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 questions about the bill you can ask myself or Senator Pida. Welcome back and good luck for the semester. SENATOR FAYYAD -1 still think the parking fee is ridiculous. I think this Adam Sandler thing is a waist of time. Six thousand dollars for a band is a bit excessive. SENATOR LAXAGUE - The parking fee and the health fee are ridiculous, if it means declining service then so be it but I think the students are more qualified to spend their money the way they see fit. SENATOR CARROLL - 1 went to the Budget Committee meeting last time and they said there is about a million dollars that they can't find and the only way they can afford the tutor program is to do a three dollar per credit fee increase. SENATOR PIDA - we are allowed to attend the meetings for the Presidential candidates and I encourage everyone to go. It is not a meeting just for Executive Board. You need to meet these people to give you a good idea of what you want. The master planning meeting will be at 2:00p.m. on Friday and you will be amazed at the changes that will be occurring on campus. SENATOR VODRAZKA - the parking fee is not just for a parking structure, they are looking at ways to make the Thomas and Mack parking area more attractive to students. The other thing to look at is that Paradise Elementary is being bought out by the airport and are being asked to move and the whole north parking lot past the arts building may become the new school. They did bring down the cost of the parking structure to $5,000.00. I'm trying to see if they can not put the parking fee as part tuition to save the extra paperwork for people who live across the street from school and don't need to use parking, it should never be taken out of my pocket to begin with. If they are going to increase the Health fee I would like to know where the money is going first. SENATOR EISEN - sorry I couldn't make Senate Resolution 25-01 unanimous with all due respect to Senator Schwartz. Hope you all have a good semester. SENATOR ANDERSON - with respect to the parking fee, right now I don't see a problem with the parking a ten minute walk to me does not seem like a problem. We need to know how many people use the Health Center before we just cut funding off, it is important for a lot of students who don't have full coverage. SENATOR RIVERA - 1 should have a parking report made up next week, things have been a little slow over the break, but I have dug up some neat stuff. I've started looking into the Health Center too. SENATOR BLOCK - everyone on my committee needs to get their schedule to me as soon as possible. PAGE 8 SENATE MEETING 25-06 / MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1995 SENATOR CAMPBELL - the Dean Search Committee is great, if you have an opportunity to sit on a committee of this type I encourage you to do so. SENATOR QUALLS -1 apologize for the inconvenience to everyone with the Architecture building but I am tired of working in trailers. I've gone to two other universities and had to pay a fee and still not get a parking space. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SMITH - the contract that Director Reeves handed out is something that I worked on over break and it is something that we needed. Lori has me working on desks, we have two computers now so we are creating a work space in back for them. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO - it is really important that now that Lori is going that you help her because when we get a temporary manager in there things may not run as smoothly, so if you would like to help her let her know soon. I was really concerned during roll call that so many of the Directors were not here, I have sent out a memo to remind them that they need to be at the meeting if they are a stipend position. I now have a little more confidence that I can tell people that I don't believe that the Senate will waive bylaws for an item. X. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn the meeting made by SENATOR RIVERA, seconded by SENATOR SMITH. Move into a vote. Motion passes 17-0-0. Meeting adjourned at 8:52p.m. J.
