(jLttaxJi/YYWvd: UNIV UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS TO: Terrv Moore, President, UNLV Student Senate ^r ^ _< t, •• FROM: Rebecca Mills, Special Assistant to the President Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research ro CD RE: Nominations to the University Planning Council . r g DATE: May 8, 1997 ^ As you may know, the UNLV Task Force for Planning has recommended to President Harter that she establish a permanent University Planning Council, and she has done so. The Council will participate in planning activities, assess progress in planning, recommend allocation of resources, and recommend recipients of Planning Initiative Awards. Membership in the Council will be by presidential appointment; in order to ensure campus participation, the appointments will be made from nominations by constituents. There will be one undergraduate student on the Council; ideally, that individual would have some natural link with student government so that communication to constituents is maintained. We would like for the Student Senate to determine the process by which nominees will be selected. Please forward to me, at your earliest convenience, the names of three individuals from whom the Council member will be named. 'This parallels the process used in every other unit on campus. It is important to select individuals who can effectively wear their "university hats" while representing issues of concern for students. Please convey to your nominees that the Planning Council will require a heavy commitment of time and energy. The Council will meet twice a month for at least two hours; and there will be-committee work and some outside reading. Nonetheless, service on the Planning Council will provide opportunities for members to learn more about the university's goals, needs, and accomplishments. I think Task Force members would agree that it is a great opportunity to interact with wonderful university citizens from all areas of the campus. I encourage you to design an inclusive process for the selection of nominees and to educate your constituents about the Council and its responsibilities. If I can be helpful in that regard, please feel free to call on me.

H Senate Bill No. 4 of the 27th Session INTRODUCED BY: Senate President Pro-Tempore Margaret J. Persch and Senator Stephanie Gonzales Summary: This bill is intended to clarify the locations of voting booths. We, the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada, represented in the CSUN Senate, do enact as follows: (Additions are undtglined. Deletions are bracketed) VOTING BOOTH LOCATIONS I. PURPOSE Student voting shall be done at approved voting booth locations. The voting booths will be placed at ten (10) campus locations that have the potential to be available to the largest number of students. II. DEFINITION A. The locations, as established by the Elections Board and with the approval of the Student Senate, are as follows: 1. Two (2) booths at the Donald C. Moyer Student Union. 2. One (1) booth at Frank and Estella Beam Hall. 3. One (1) booth at the Flora Dungan Humanities Building. 4. One (1) booth at the Classroom Building Complex. 5. One (1) booth at the Thomas T. Beam Engineering Complex. 6. One (1) booth at the James R. Dickenson Library. 7. One (1) booth at the Hazel M. Wilson Dining Commons. 8. Two (2) booths at various experimental locations. f. ' B. The two (2) booths mentioned in item eight (8) are "floating" booths that are designed to be placed in experimental locations on campus. The placement of the "floating" booths are to be placed where the greatest volume of student traffic is expected. C. The placement of the "floating" booths will be determined by the Elections Board and approved by a simple majority of the Student Senate prior to the date of acceptance of applications for students filing for Student Government positions. D. To change the location of any voting booth, other than the "floating" booths mentioned in item eight (8), the following procedures must be followed: i 1. An application for relocation must be made with the Elections Board. 2. The Elections Board must then make a recommendation to the Student Senate. 3. The new location must then be approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Student Senate. 4. The change must be in effect prior to the date of students filing for Student Government positions. E. Under no conditions can a voting booth location be changed after the filing date, or before the end, of that election period. IPwrggg^ The purpose of the event is to raise the awareness of Aids with todays youth, who will be directly affected the most due to thier promiscuity and lack of knowledge, while providing an inexpensive, enjoyable atmosphere of todays hottest sounds.

Goal - To provide the best possible entertainment for today's youth, while assisting to help educate today's youth. To provide a local charity with the opportunity for profitibility and notoriety while assisting with educating todays youth.
