SENATOR CAMPBELL—Glad to see everything got done. Needs to find some extra constitutions for the voting booths. The declaration is a beautiful gesture. SENATOR SPANTON—Glad Constitution passed. Glad to have closing remarks back on the agenda. Sees the newspaper as a check on Student Government, and it encourages the Senate to think about things before, not after they are done. SENATOR ROELL—Spoke with Director Hagen regarding comments from his constituents that they think the OSI page is too crowded and a page is needed on Thursday. SENATOR CARROLL--KUNV Marathon is going on right now, encouraged the Senators to help. Bylaw revisions are coming. SENATOR HOWARD-Rebel Yell is not a check, it is fictional half of the time and is politically slanted at times. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN—Comments from last week: Students asked her about the Cafe Michelle incident and her response was "No, she eats at AppleBee's". She is not embarrassed by this body, the Senators upheld their ethics. What she is embarrassed by is the fact that a student stepped forward to make a change, and due to the current system's inability's, that student was let down. Comments for this week: She and other Senators have gone to the Annex on several occasions and have yet to see anyone working. $228.00 was paid to Shawn Nunes and she has not seen him at work in 2 months. If the President wants to be more student involved, there could be an inauguration ceremony done during a noon scene, thereby allowing more students to see something happening with CSUN. Way to go on the Constitution. Thankt the Senate for passing the Resolution. Sure that this will be a good hug for David. Would like to thank everyone that is wearing peach ribbons. Nice hint about the newspaper, questioned if the article given in the Senator's boxes was related to the article in the Yell about the Senate President. Thanked the Senate for the chair position on the new committee, not sure what they will do, but they will work hard. SENATE MEETING 26-14 / MARCH 18, 1996 STUDENT BODY VICE-PRESIDENT MILLS-Constitutional revisions were good. Is in the Big Man on Campus competition. SENATOR FENDELL-This was a productive meeting.

SENATOR WONG~The CBS College Tour is great for students and a lot of fun. SENATOR PRICE—Has been working on accreditation for Communications college. SENATOR TAYLOR-Good job by the Senate on the revisions. SENATOR ANDERSON-Glad the Constitution is done.
