I hope everything you said, you'll take to heart and keep up the good work! Next, I'd like to direct this toward Senate President Smith: It has come to my recent attention that an "anti-Shawna. for Pro-Tempore" campaign had been launched. Mr. Smith has been heard saying such things as. "I can't work with Shawna...you should vote for Tern": and in reference to Tern- Moore upon entering the CSUN offices. "There's my next Senate President Pro-Tempore.". If these statement are true...I find them disappointing coming from someone that I though was my friend and extremely unethical from our elected Senate President. Move into a vote for approval pending amendments. Motion passes 14-0-0. IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PIDA-no announcements. STUDENT BODY VICE-PRESIDENT MILLS-Thank you. I would like to say a few words right now. First off. in regard to SENATOR TERENCE CARROLL, a Senate Directive you did not have a right as a single Senator to give a direct order to the Executive Board or any of its officers. If the Senate as a whole would like to in a majority fashion, place a directive on my office, I will gladly fulfill the request. But this pseudo resolution is a joke. And frankly, I w ould like you to show me w here it shows that you as a single Senator can direct anyone on the Executive Board to do something. My next point. I would like to say at today's Executive Board meeting, President Pida took it upon himself not to recognize me regarding the appointment of directors in what seemed to be. or appeared to be a pre-deterniined collusive manner between President Pida and Senate President Smith. The very Directors that are supposed to have the closest association with myself as the Vice President w ere selected without barely any input from myself. It is at this time that I wish to share with you. the Senate, my selections for the various Directorships. For NSA Director, David Turner. I feel that he has the experience having been NSA Assistant Director and the ability and hard work ethic to do the job. For E &P. I feel Brian Saliba, while not my first selection, I had a tough choice there, it was neck and neck, my first selection had been Nicole Dircks because of her good presentation at the inteniews. I do support Brian after speaking with former Executive Board members and CSUN Directors, I'm sure that he'll do a great job. For Elections. I agree 100% with the selection of Stephanie Araiza. considering her accomplishments in such a short time, I'm sure that with proper presentation, preparation, and support from all of us, she would do a phenomenal job. For OSI, just for the record. I see some downsides to Steve Hagen's nomination. However, there is not one person who was a candidate who was truly outstanding, although there were several good choices. 0 Board. I cannot and I will not support Toby Cole for this position. His failure to complete the aforementioned project concerning SENATOR CARROL'S memorandum sets the stage for future failure. His refusal to resign from his positions in Ski Club and IFC bring into question both potential conflict of interest as well as whether or not he will make this position a priority in his extra-curricular actnity time. In getting back to the S 1200.00 approved by the Senate for Mr. Cole to complete the project that is now being dumped on my lap. it's wrong. We're rewarding him with a monthly stipend and a fee waiver for letting the students of CSUN dow n, for letting the whole student body down. I find it impossible to trust him with any project on behalf of CSUN or the student body. For Student Services, with regard to the nomination for Ted Greenhalgh as Director for Student Senices. I find this one to be the worst nomination of all be President Pida and Senate President Smith. As a director, Mr. Greenhalgh has performed poorly at best. He has SENATE MINUTES 25-23 / JULY 24, 1995 chosen to blame those working for him, with him as well as past Executive Boards for his shortcomings. CSUN has on numerous occasions run out of scar.trms. fclucbccks. ccr.ci'.s. c.c. Cue c;" iltc prinurv responsibilities of this position is in fact it is probably one of the only things this position is responsible for. Mr. Greenhalgh's new agenda consists of removing the typewriters to the library, and giving them control of them and joining CSUN with the umbrella control of the new MSU student light division. Two things that I vehemently disagree with. Further, the misconception that career day, being a successful undertaking by CSUN or any of its Directors is just that, a misconception. The true credit for the success in career day belongs to Alima Garretv not CSUN. CSUN involvement includes funding and assisting with the volunteer staff, period, and that's all. Mr. Greenhalgh's lone claim to fame as a Student Services Director for the past two years is being at the center of contemptible rumors and endeavors of that nature. Regarding various members of CSUN, these innuendoes have to stop, and to continue with this format is wrong. While I agree with the concept of term limits for elected positions. I also find some of the benefits in term limits for appointed positions. Currently, the Executive Board is limited to two terms, in speaking with various members of the Senate, I find that they too are considenng legislation to limit their own terms to two years. The primary' reason for this being to afford other students the opportunity to serve them and serve their constituents. The same should hold true for directorships. Besides, if you can't get it done in two years, you're not going to get it done. On numerous occasions. I've heard pompous remarks from Mr. Greenhalgh. such as, I don't need the money, and that he would never put this on his resume because this is just a bunch of kids playing around. Frankly, this insults me as well as the entire student body. If I were hiring someone for this position, let's hire someone who thinks enthusiasm and positive outlook, not someone who is cynical and negative towards the very students he is serving. There were qualified persons for these positions, for 0 Board and for the Student Services Director. They are Veronica Perez for Organizations Board Director, and Amanda Marienau for Student Services Director. I'd be glad to introduce you to them and I guarantee you when you leave them you'll think they're better selections too. My final item in announcements today is pertaining to the inability of the Executive Board to function as a team. Contraiy to President Pida's views, my position as Smdent Body Vice-President is not to be his flunky or yes man, but to look out for the best interest of the student body. When I question a contract or a purchase, it has become the "norm" for Mr. Pida to become verbally abusive, thereafter threaten to have me impeached from my office. Since being sworn into office. I personally witnessed flagrant disregard for proper protocol by all three of my Executive Board colleges, including aiding to the delinquency of a minor, paying for the ev ents with CSUN funds that contribute to the aforementioned misfeasance, abuse of power through privileges granted through you. the Senate, and many other instances that I will not go into at this time. My responsibilities as a duly elected Student Body Vice- President is to serve the student body to the best of my abilities. For your information. I have proposed a temporary remedy for some of those miscommunication problems within CSUN. Basically, what happens is Joint says he wants something done. I go do it to the best of my ability, later on he changes his mind. Basically, I've asked him in memo form that he could ask me to do something, so when he changes his mind. I can show what he asked me to do and I can say I've done this if you change your mind later to that fact, I've done what 1 was asked to do. I'm tired of fighting with and being threatened by President Pida. Terry Moore and Pat Smith. If they could just get past their egos for a minute and not worry about Mount Blanc pens, creating a crest for CSUN, printing pornographic pictures on CSUN equipment from the Internet and taking sidetrips at CSUN's expense we could get a lot more accomplished for the students of UNLV. And I've said what I have to say. SENATE PRESIDENT SMITH requested a copy be submitted for the minutes. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT MILLS complied. SENATE PRESIDENT SMITH - no announcements. Reply from SENATOR CARROLL - In Section 5 of the CSL~N Constitution, it says that members of the Senate can issue a directive. Section 5, Item D. subsection 4—The Vice President shall perform all duties delegated by the Senate. Then in Section 6 tpage 10). Paragraph C. Subsection 5a states that the SENATE MINUTES 25-23 / JULY 24, 1995 Senate by majority vote shall be empowered to issue directives to CSUN officials and officers. By that oower. SENATOR CARROLL is able to issue n directive. Bv a reajoritv • ?'e, which is what the Senate is voting on today. He is not acting a single person, they will be voting on that. He lias taken the initiative on this because of the fact that it affects Student Development constituents. It is something that they need, as freshman, to come in and become acclimated to college life. If VICE PRESIDENT MILLS has a problem with that. SENATOR CARROLL prefers that be addressed to him beforehand, instead of bringing it out during the meeting. V. BOARD & COMMITTEE REPORTS A. SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS a. Rules and Ethics, CHAIR SCHWARTZ-got the notes given to him. if there are any constitutional or legal violations, he'll call a meeting to look into them.

CHAIR MCLAIN-pending the items on the agenda, bylaws committee will be having a meeting and will have a copy of the agenda posted in chambers. d. Constitution. CHAIR CAMPBELL-still waiting for those revisions, this is very-important that they get in. Considering we have only two more meetings until school starts, would like no farther delay, otherwise they will be written by the chair.

SENATOR FOX - she is tired of meetings where everyone feels they need to express their opinion, she is tired of hearing it. SENATOR ZUREK - no comment. SENATOR SCHWARTZ - he agrees with Senator Fox; he questioned why the Senate spent so long arguing over and questioning President Pida's increase yet gave Vice President Mills and Senate President Smith each a $150.00 increase without questions. SENATOR CARROLL - (read a passage from Robert's Rules of Order) and told the Senate that it would be in their benefit to have Senate Caucuses. SENATOR CAMPBELL - there were comments made to the gallery that were rude and belittling; SENATOR SCHIFF - yielded the floorto Joel Kostman who stated that he would like the Senate to set up a committee to award a scholarship he is funding to an outstanding member of the Senate. SENATOR SCHIFF stated that everyone should have had then-decision and stuck to it, two hours of debate on one item is ridiculous. SENATOR LAXAGUE - the opposition wasn't personal.

SENATOR MOORE - thanked the Senate, and stated that he is more than willing to talk with everyone and get input on what they would like to do. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN - she didn't question the other increases because she felt that if President Pida was getting $950.00 that $750.00 was in accordance; she would like to see the Senate have caucuses; she was hoping that with the new administration the personal attacks would stop; she thought that it was extremely insulting that Vice President Mills felt that he needed to point out that Director Phillips and Assistant Director Cole were no longer employed by CSUN. SENATOR RIVERA - no comment. PRESIDENT PIDA - he is working on getting CSUN off the black list for performers so that we can get some good act on campus again; he was surprised that no one amended the Organizations item to that the Executive Board could approve the item before it goes to print; from now on please consult with Vice President Mills on any of the Directors work; attacks are made in all types of political arenas. VICE PRESIDENT MILLS - thanks for approving his stipend, he was prepared to address the Senate on what he was doing to earn it if they had required it; he can't just let things slide and assume that everyone has all the information; he is looking forward to working with everyone. SENATE PRESIDENT SMITH - thanked everyone that was at the meeting and encouraged the Senate to test out the business/friendship thing. X.
