IX, PUBLIC COMMENT PAULA JEAN refuted the claim that a non-traditional student, DAVE MARLETTO, made at Senate Meeting 28-02 against STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT JOE MILLS. She stated that on the afternoon of Thursday, November 6, 1997, at 4:00 p.m., the time that DAVE MARLETTO had stated that he had an alleged interview scheduled, PRESIDENT MILLS was in the CSUN offices preparing for a meeting with the receptionists to take place at 5:00 p.m. that same afternoon. She also stated that there were half a dozen receptionists plus herself at 4:00 p.m. in the CSUN offices; and she stated even if MR. MARLETTO had shown up for an alleged interview, the half dozen receptionists who were sitting there as well as herself would have gladly called back to Joe Mills on the phone or intercom to let him know that MR. MARLETTO was there for a scheduled interview. She added that no Justice interviews were scheduled for that Thursday, the interviews were scheduled with a third pertinent person who had no knowledge of any interviews happening that afternoon, and all scheduled interviews were confirmed prior by a different third party, and all phone messages for PRESIDENT MILLS are taped so that when each receptionist calls in to report in and to leave from work, a record is made of every office call such as from what office it was called and the time and day of the call. She, therefore, refuted the claim that MR MARLETTO had left a message to confirm a scheduled interview because it would have been left on the phone message left along with all the other calls, but it wasn't. She stated that calling and leaving no message(s) is like not calling at all. She then stated that when MR. MARLETTO told the Senate a direct and blatant lie about PRESIDENT MILLS, MR. MARLETTO is not only doing a disservice to fellow students and insulting the intelligence of all the Senators, but he is setting himself up for a slander suit. She ended by stating, "but PRESIDENT MILLS could easily win against him in a court of law and probably should proceed as also. Obviously, he is another plant from among you. Thank you very much." SALLY MILLS asked if there was going to be a tailgate at the game on Saturday. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE confirmed that there will be one. SUNNY MARTIN introduced herself as the coordinator for Student Activities on Campus and discussed the Lead (LEADERSHIP EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT) team. She stated that the purpose of the team is for students to provide purposeful leadership 7 SENATE MINUTES 28-03/November 17, 1997 and education training for student leaders on campus. She then stated that they are accepting applications now for students to be on one of three committees as facilitators, as organizational consultants, or to work on the Involvement Committee. She stated that she's been working with DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN on this already and asked everyone to let everyone know about these opportunities and passed around a handout. EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that he spoke to Planning Construction about the possibility of a new receptionist desk and a connecting half door to control people coming in and out of the CSUN office; he announced that he's meeting tomorrow with Career Services and Financial Aid to cover the cost the use of Career Services facilities for students who couldn't possibly afford it; and he also announced that Student Services is bringing up a task force, "A Task Force for a More Just Community", and asked that some of the Senators get involved in that; then, he stated that he will be attending an Ethic Student Council meeting on Wednesday and will propose to them that we put together a liaison between Ethic Student Council and CSUN Student Government. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MILLS congratulated DIRECTOR CONTINE on a great job that he did with the Democratic National Committee in working with the women who put on the event; he then congratulated those present from Delta Zeta for the wonderful charity event that they did during the Delta Zeta Dream Date Auction; he also wished a belated birthday to O-BOARD DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN; he announced that he and DIRECTOR FINKELSTEIN met with the Thomas and Mack about future ticketing for CSUN and reiterated that the next lottery at the O-Board meeting on November 25; he announced that there will be ticket distribution during the winter break; he expressed his disappointment about CSUN members asking for tickets and not sitting together as a group to bond as a team in the CSUN section; he announced that today was Science and Technology Day; he announced that they had an Executive Board meeting last week in CBC-111 which is 99% complete; he stated that he wants to do a contract again this year like "Pat on the Back" to help relieve students' stress during finals; and then he stated that he's going to submit travel for himself and DIRECTOR CONTINE to go to the Board of Regents meeting during the first week of December. He asked if there are any Senators interested in going to please let him know because it is a great opportunity. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE apologized for the long meeting last week and stated that he has reestablished a policy that he created last session to set a time limit of seven minutes for Executive Board announcements and summations; he stated that he's glad to see everyone come in the office asking question and coming up with ideas about things they want to do for their college because he thinks it's beneficial for the students of this university and he's proud to see everyone getting involved and doing their job; he then stated that he'll be presenting the Senate with a resolution that he's writing up to present to the University Parking Committee to reduce the ticketing hours on campus; and lastly, SENATE MINUTES 28-03/ November 17, 1997 he stated that he's working on the KUNV transition issue right now with the university administration and the Board of Regents.

SENATOR CECI stated that if we're going to all work as a team, when we talk about our Directors, he thinks that we should be able to pronounce their names correctly because many of them do a lot of work; he stated that he's glad that to see that the Senate Chambers are keeping clean and SENATOR AUGUSTIN must have vacuumed for an hour. SENATOR KIMBROUGH thanked everyone on their vote of confidence regarding the Rules and Ethics Chair; he asked that everyone on Rules and Ethics to give him their schedules; he stated that during dead week he will be using his week to clean out the refrigerator in the Senate Chambers to get the brown stuff out of there as a show of dedication to the entire Student Government; he then thanked SENATOR LUTAR and 9 SENATE MINUTES 28-03/ November 17, 1997 SENATOR LAZAROFF for trying to help the Senate get to know each other and they've done a fine job doing it.
