State of the Campus Address by PRESIDENT JOE MILLS. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that "as we stand poised on the start of a new semester, a new year, a new era, a new age on the brink of a new milennium, we to at UNLV and CSUN should look back on the course of this year and the past 40 years here at UNLV. In this way we can see where we have gone and where we need to be going in the next 40 years of UNLV's history. To see where are going we must look back to see how far we have gone. So I look back to see what I have done for students to make UNLV a better place, a unique place to be at in our history. I, to, am myself in a unique position, in the 40 year history of UNLV, I have been the first and only student ever elected to three consecutive terms as an executive member of CSUN, UNLV Student Government. Now this is not just an honor but also a consistant vote of confidence from the people who should matter most to the people in this room. The students of UNLV that believe that I have done and am doing a great job. But not resting on these //inaudible//1 look to what I have accomplished for all of the students here at UNLV as your President. In the very confusing re-organization of the colleges and majors here at UNLV, some students fell to //inaudible// and lost their colleges. They became disenfranchised as the teachers and advisors that they had counted on for years were now scattered across several colleges. As a campaign promise, I stated that I would do my best to help them get their own department so that can have a focal point that will allow them to continue on their path to complete their original degrees. I would say that I have accomplished this goal. Getting several departments to work together was difficult enough, but when those groups are often scattered over several different colleges, some would have said it was impossible. But I tried and I succeeded. Beyond just getting colleges and departments together, I worked to bring separate entities of UNLV together to share expenses and work for the betterment of UNLV collectively. By getting UNLV athletics, alumni, and CSUN to work together, we purchased a 25 foot high inflatable Rebel mascot to promote our school spirit, and to start a tradition to be cherished by the next generation of Rebels. Our school has grown dramatically since I started here, and so to, I believe, that CSUN grow to better serve the needs of our students. I am proud to say that he has expanded the number of offices for CSUN to three across the vast campus of UNLV. By building the new CSUN office, we can better serve the students in our newest complex where almost half of our classroom areas now sit. Many of you in this room do not have to worry about paying for your classes. Indeed, most of you here tonight either have all or a significant portion of your school paid for by grants and scholarships. But what about other students, not just those here today, but also those who will need a formal education in the future. It was for that reason when Governor Bob Miller asked for my help as STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT, and as a registered lobbiest on behalf of the UNLV students, I answered the call and assisted Governor Miller by lobbying for the passage of the Senate Bill 271, the prepayment of tuition plan. Now with the passage of this bill, residents of Nevada can now purchase credit hours of college at the current rate and save them fo
