But Never Asked Concept: This series of workshops will be offered to students who are having particular difficulties with grammar and punctuation; the workshops will begin approximately one month into the semester to allow both students and instructors time to assess writing problems and to make appropriate referrals. Recommended texts will be Diana Hacker's A Writer's Reference as well as the accompanying Developmental Exercises; students will also need to bring their own writing to class in order to gain experience in applying the concepts reviewed during the workshop to their own writing . Format: Each workshop will be 1.5 hours long, and will be repeated four times during a four-week period. Instructors will cover trouble spots such as the correct use of semi-colons, commas, and colons; additional topics may include ESL-specific problems, pronoun reference and agreement, modifier placement, shifts, coordination and subordination, the possessive form, parallelism, and wordiness. In brief, the workshop will take this form: Instructors will present explanations of grammar/ punctuation points; students will practice with workbook exercises or handouts, then will look for these points in their own writing and correct problems. Instructor preparation time should average no more than approximately 2 hours per week; no outside reading/grading is necessary. Enrollment: Although students enrolled in the English Composition sequence would be especially encouraged to take advantage of these sessions, enrollment would be open to the entire University community. Should a student produce a referral from an instructor or from the Writing Center, that student would be guaranteed admission to the workshop. Course size would be limited to 25. Funding: Hire two instructors, each responsible for conducting two distinct workshops (each workshop will be repeated four times in a four-week period) 5 hrs/week x 4 weeks- 20 hrs x 12.50/hr (TA salary) = 250.00 x 2 instructors $500 At a glance: Texts: Diana Hacker, A Writer's Reference and Hacker's Workbook to Accompany a Writer's Reference; individual student writings from other classes Course length: 4 weeks Meetings: Two, 1.5-hour sessions each week Class size: 25 Location: FDH Writing Center or another FDH classroom Funding required: $500 Cost to students taking the workshop: $0 rcn- o ~a CO C- <=- <E> .a...t. °rn -w c -2fLr , A r-o :• -- *t. m - <o_no OX" O — 3Ef O f f , Reference A Memo To: Drs. McCullough, Campbell, and Taylor From: Dr. Schwarze Subject: Writing Center Workshops Date: April 12, 1996 We concluded our first program of Writing Center workshops on March 21, and judging from student response, they were quite successful. More than 120 students attended the 16 sessions taught by Joe Csicsila 'and Cheryl Knuhtsen, and many attended more than one workshop or brought friends along to subsequent sessions. Workshops were fairly even in popularity (measured by attendance) , with Six Deadly Sins drawing 37 students, Back to the Basics 34, Writing with Style 29, and International English 20 students. Student evaluations of workshop content were overwhelmingly positive; many critiques praised instructors Joe Csicsila and Cheryl Knuhtsen for their clarity, friendliness and overall helpfulness. Some excerpts from those evaluations: "This is very--and I mean extremely--helpful. [The workshop] gives me additional information that is not taught in class. I've really enjoyed it and plan to go to another." (Back to the Basics) "This was a great class. I hope you continue them--they are really helpful." (Six Deadly Sins) "This was a really great and beneficial workshop. I really feel they (the workshops) should continue to exist, as long as the instructors are as helpful as the " instructor who conducted this workshop." (International English) "This is the way I like to learn. Blast me doses of highly concentrated material--then let me study and assimilate it at home. This has been an effective method for me in the past and is working well for me throughout this series of seminars. Thank you."

PURPOSE A. To provide Senators with a reasonable consideration for their effort; B. To more firmly emphasize the accountability of Senators C. To fully encourage direct involvement in the ongoing business of the CSUN Student Government II. DEFINITION A. The CSUN Senate Stipend (herein referred to as "stipend") shall be a gift to Senators for their continued commitment to public service. As such, all or any part of the stipend can be declined by a Senator; B. The stipend shall [also] consist of a credit fee wavier of no less then 12 credits, evenly split between fall and Spring semesters, and a per meeting attended cash amount of [fifty dollars ($50.00)] twenty five dollars($25): C. Any raise or decrease in the stipend shall be approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the senate in the session proceeding the increase or decrease . No Senate shall be empowered to give themselves a stipend increase or decrease. D. When quorum is not met, a per meeting stipend will not be paid. If an emergency meeting is called due to lack of quorum, all Senators in attendance at both meetings will receive a stipend; E. All other emergency meetings will be treated as ordinary meeting for stipend purposes.

For the fee waiver portion of the stipend, any Senator not completing an entire term shall be given a prorated fee wavier based on the percentage of the term completed. The Senate will vote by a majority to define the amount of fee wavier to be returned to CSUN on a case by case basis. Audited, dropped, or failed courses will not be covered by the fee wavier. If any of these occur the senator will be charged for the amount owed to CSUN, as fee waivers are processed before the semester begins. If these moines are not returned to CSUN, then by the definition in the regent's handbook (refer to handbook for appropriate article) a registration hold and/or a hold on graduation will be placed on the above mentioned student; G. The Senate President Pro-Tempore is exempt from this, as he/she already receives a stipend and a fee wavier; H. the amount decleared by the senate shall be budgeted in the CSUN budget each year; I. Senators are bound by senate Bylaw 27; J. No part of this bylaw may be waived; it must be waived as a whole; K. Senators will be held accountable to the rules established by the Rules and Ethics Committee of each session; L. The Rules and Ethics committee shall be empowered to bring charges against Senators who fail to meet the above mentioned obligations; M. Penalties, including reduction of stipend and/or credit fee waiver shall only be enforced by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the senate. cx> m-a CO p o t; - 4 0 - C O rm in " • o ro o —o <_C! cr> r n . 4 r - » <r> ^ -<• t'lfi-, o -n j g^scrnp ' ^ rn o --on z o u> en University of Nevada, Las Vegas Student Government Office of the Senate President STUDENT SENA TE MEETING 26-29 MINUTES Monday, September 23,1996 Moyer Student Union Room 201 6:30p.m. I.

SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE-Reminded the Senators about the forum on Wednesday as a chanCf" g o £ for the Senators to have direct contact with their constituents. Commented on the good quality of the election this year. X. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR SOLOMON—The philanthropy event is on Saturday from 3-7 p.m., still needs help setting up and other miscellaneous tasks. Mr. Goodcents is providing the food for the event free of charge. Questioned the purchase of a grill for the CSUN Movie Series only to have it used for the Student Alumni Association to sell hot dogs off of. SENATOR FISK—Thinks that the forum is a good idea, good tool to encourage voter participation. Expressed concerns from his constituents regarding the confusion about the parking and parking fee situation on campus. SENATOR PRICE~Is looking forward to the philanthropy event on Saturday. SENATOR ROELL—Would like to help on Saturday. Encouraged the Senators to attend the soccer game Friday night, 7:00 p.m. SENATOR PEREZ—Encouraged the Senators to attend the philanthropy event on Saturday. Asked if the Senators could bring a potluck dessert, and possibly chip in for the face painter. Expressed dislike for the combining of the Homecoming elections and the Senate elections, even though it may increase voter turnout, it affects the campaign posting space, and the overall effect of the Senate race is compromised. Thanked OSI and E&P for great events so far in the year. Feels that the forum is too close to election time, that it may look like unfair advantage for the current Senators to have exposure. Questioned where the pictures for the Senate board are, they were taken too close to election time when the Senate composition could easily change and it was a waste of student money. SENATE FLEISCHMAN-Commented that in the two years she has served on the Senate, the picture board has never been current. Encouraged the members in the gallery to attend more meetings, this was not the usual type of meeting that is conducted. She is glad to be able to give the band their hats today. She hopes that the Bylaws Committee will meet soon and get through the bills before the session ends. Advised the Senators to do as she is, and write a letter stating that they will be attending the forum as a Senator and not as a candidate. Expressed concerns regarding the parking situation on campus. SENATOR AGUERO-Bylaws will be meeting next Monday at 5:30, encouraged the Senators not on the committee to attend the meeting. SENATOR ANDERSON-Expressed concern that the Senate approved money as a co-sponsorship for Oozeball so that the event could be expanded to two days, and the event was not expanded. She feels that the money should possibly be given back if it was not used to expand the duration of the event. Move into a vote on the main motion. Motion passes 16-0-0. Move into a vote on closing. Motion passes 16-0-0. 2 SENATE MINUTES 26-29 / SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 SENATOR ATHERLEY-Expressed pleasure that the meeting went so smoothly. Addressed SENATOR FLEISCHMAN's idea regarding a new method of reapportionment; it does not present equal representation for schools based upon numbers of enrollment and it would not be a fair form of organizing representation. SENATOR LIDEROS- Checked on the complaint that SENATOR FLEISCHMAN had expressed regarding the police parking in red zones, and he found that the police can park anywhere they want or need to. SENATOR LOPEZ-The debate last Tuesday was excellent. Informed the Senate that the man who was the inspiration for the movie "Rudy" will be speaking tomorrow, encouraged the Senate to see him. SENATOR TRUJILLO- Will try to attend the philanthropy event on Saturday, and expressed that he had missed former Senator Shawna Campbell's presence at the Senate table during the meeting.] XI.
