EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS PRESIDENT MILLS comments were not recorded. (Due to insufficient time to prepare a summation of President Mills comments, they will be added as soon as possible.) SENATOR GRIFFITH read an Executive Board Announcement and Summation on behalf of VICE PRESIDENT VALERA. She stated, "In my efforts to provide CSUN with a smooth transition into the fall semester, I have meet with several administrators, directors, and staff members. On "uesday, August 5th, Director Wiessen and I met with Terry Cottle of Sports Marketing, Sunny Martin of Campus Community Development, and Carl Cook of the Alumni Association at which time we discussed the ''Rebel Experience." Essentially, the "Rebel Experience:® a project headed up by R; the Football Foundation and Sports Marketing in which the different branches of the UNLV campus community are brought together for one large tailgate. By the end of the meeting the'committee concluded that CSUN would occupy the concrete slab closest to the dance floor and stage while the Alumni Association would occupy the three slabs across from CSUN's. This would leave one for the Football Foundation and the other to be determined by the committee. The committee met on Tuesday of the following week to iron out details concerning entertainment, refreshments, funding, and tent rentals. In addition, Mr. Cottle has provided me with a picture of the back side of UNLV Alumni's "Hey Reb" which was requested by the company contracted for the inflatable Rebel. Acquisition of this picture will allow construction to continue." "On Wednesday, August 6th, Director Finklestein and I met with Cathy Zumbro of Sports Marketing. At that meeting we made arrangements so that the Organizations Board may once again handle football, basketball, and baseball ticket distribution. This will help game attendance, school spirit, and student accessibility. The meeting was quite successful." "Also on Wednesday, Director Fleischman and I discussed the possibility of changing the Sept. 5th Elections Board meeting date. The reasoning behind considering this change is that because the UNLV vs. UNR football game is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 6th, there may be some ' 'omecoming candidates on their way to the game on the day of the meeting. Also, Panhellenic 8 SENATE MINUTES 27-23/ August 18, 1997 formal rush will be taking place on the day of the meeting, thereby possibly keeping some potential 1 'ndidates from participating." "Throughout the last two weeks, I have also been looking into the feasibility of installing a 3 foot half door at the entrance to the CSUN inner office. Assuming that the proper clearance is given by Michelle Taylor, the door would most likely be connected to the wall behind the receptionist desk. However, other possibilities are being explored per concerns expressed to me by the E&P Director and the Organizations Board Director. The cost of the door, hinges, etc. would be approximately $230.00 (not including installation). A security measure such as a buzzer which would unlock the door would cost approximately $200.0 (with installation). Inquiries as to cost difference among competitors and feasibility are still being made nevertheless." "If there are any questions, please feel free to drop a note in my CSUN mail box or leave a message on my voice mail." (This announcement was recovered from a copy of Vice President Valera's Executive Board Announcement and Summation.) SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE thanked everyone for coming to the first Senate Meeting for the Fall Semester. He recognized the Gallery and candidates for the open Senate seat in the College of Business. He encouraged everyone to announce in classes that there are open Senate seats in the College of Urban Affairs and the College of Education.
