SENATOR TRUJILLO stated that there was a total of seven plaques for the outgoing Executive Board and Directors for the end of the year banquet. He was the only one in the office and signed in place of SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE. SENATOR KIMBROUGH asked if we have a contract for the copy machine.

Action Item: Discusion/Approval of the Assistant O-Board Director's stipend, tabled at meeting 28-11; SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated that the way items A, B, and C read is because he left the office Tuesday and wrote down briefly what he wanted to be on the agenda in his shorthand, thinking that the Senate Secretary would look back at the previous meetings and type what those items were, so he didn't make it as specific as he should have.

PUBLIC COMMENT Lisa Sladek stated that she went to the Rebel Rave and had a good time and also stated that everyone liked it. David Ayala commended tonight's meeting and stated that there was alot of intelligent debate that went on. Jennifer Fender stated that she is a Resident Assistant in Tonopah. She stated that she attended the Rebel Rave and thought it was wonderful. The only negative things about it were the security, and she saw people smoking cigarettes and also saw people with containers. She suggested only allowing UNLV students and stated that the residents really enjoyed it. She stated that it is a good alternative to drinking. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR HIRSCHTRITT thanked SENATORS COLEN, FISK, and GARCIA, and also two of the CSUN receptionists, Stevie and Sarah, for helping him with Rebel Rave. 8 SENATE MINUTES 28-13/ March 9, 1998 Paula Jeanne Mills stated that she is waiting for people to do something about the CSUN receptionists. She stated that today there was an Executive Board meeting and the health annex was locked and there is never anybody there in the morning. She stated that there are 6 people on the committee and nothing is being done. Some receptionists leave early and others never show up. This morning she walked into the main office at 10:20 and there was not anybody in there. VICE PRESIDENT VALERA's father came in looking for him or the receptionist and nobody was there. She stated that VICE PRESIDENT VALERA hasn't done his job all year. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE asked her to refrain from personally attacking members of the body. SENATOR KIMBROUGH stated that the Senate passed a directive about hours not being fulfilled by certain receptionists. Since that time he has needed scantrons and pencils and in both annexes and the front office and they have been readily available to him. He congratulated the committee for doing a good job, particularly VICE PRESIDENT VALERA. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE suggested that she bring the list to the Senate. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR HIRSCHTRITT stated that Mike from CCD is not angry with CSUN in any way. IX. EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that elections took up most of his time last week. The Director's meeting has been moved from room 210 into the Senate chambers. Sunny Martin is getting a projector screen or large TV for the Student Union to watch the Princeton game. This afternoon there was an Executive Board meeting which he did not attend. He told PRESIDENT MILLS that he would not attend the Executive Board meeting until certain adjustments were made to an agenda item. He refuses to participate is a manipulation of the judicial council. He apologizes to the students and candidates but not for his actions. Until the adjustments are made to the agenda item, he will not be attending the Executive Board meetings. He did submit a copy of that memo to PRESIDENT MILLS, not personally but he slipped it under his door and put one in his box. SENATOR WEINBERG asked where the projector screen would be. VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that it would be in the ballroom or in the alcove. He will be working with DIRECTOR A YON to get the fliers out. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MILLS congratulated the brothers of Omega Psi Phi Incorporated and the sisters of Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated for winning the step show. They did an outstanding job and that there was a great turnout. He stated that he is proud of the Rebels for winning the WAC and going on to the NCAA tournament. He stated that he agrees about the issue of snowballing. VICE PRESIDENT VALERA was the Director last year and was only paid during election months. He stated that he agrees 9 SENATE MINUTES 28-13/ March 9, 1998 with many of the Senators about the T-shirts and stated that maybe this money would be best spent in other ways. He stated that the best use of a survey is not during the last months of an administration but would be better at a midpoint, so there is time to shift in a better direction. Today there was an Executive Board meeting and the agenda was posted but the only Executive Board member that showed up was himself. VICE PRESIDENT VALERA refused to attend and he doesn't know where SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE or SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE TRUJILLO were. They have many candidates that would like to become justices and they come to the meetings faithfully, in that the Executive Board members who are supposed to nominate them and bring them to the Senate for the final selection process, refuse to attend the meetings. VICE PRESIDENT VALERA refused to attend the meeting and he laughed about it when he spoke to him on the phone about it. They don't have receptionists in the offices and they need to hold them accountable for what they are doing. There are many students that want to work and they need to get people who are interested and wants the jobs. Regarding the Executive Board, he stated that he did not receive anything from VICE PRESIDENT VALERA. SENATOR CANEPA stated that this phantom of memos is totally out of line so she gave him her copy for his files. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that if someone wants to submit a name, they have to follow procedures and submit it on paper. He stated that some students have asked him about what events are going on for the rest of the semester. He asked the Senators if anyone has received a request for provided a nomination for a teacher from their college to be selected for the faculty excellence award. He stated that that has to be completed by the second meeting of the spring semester. He stated that the Senators should speak with VICE PRESIDENT VALERA and ask him what is going on with that process because there is only a month and a half left of school to get this done. SENATOR TRUJILLO asked why were not all of the applications for the judicial council put on the agenda. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that you don't hire every person who applies for a position and there is a screening process. SENATOR TRUJILLO stated that PRESIDENT MILLS made the decision by himself and just decided not to put some of the names on there. He stated that he was not feeling well and that is why he was not at the meeting today. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he afforded many opportunities for them to submit people and they did not. They went through a screening process and the better qualified candidates were given the opportunity to be presented for nomination by the Executive Board. He stated that if they would like to have somebody put on the Executive Board agenda, by all means, fill out an item submission form with their name on it and attach a copy of their application, and he would be happy to put it on the agenda. SENATOR TRUJILLO stated that he will do that. SENATOR LAZAROFF asked if they submit the names for applicants for justices to him before tomorrow by 12:00, in time for Nevada Open Meeting Law, will they be on the next agenda. PRESIDENT MILLS stated if they are presented in the proper format in accordance with Nevada Open Meeting Law. SENATE MINUTES 28-13/ March 9, 1998 SENATOR CECI asked if it is possible to have a meeting for the Executive Board with the items placed upon there, such as nominating the last justice to be the chief justice, and to have the other justice applicants that SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE and VICE PRESIDENT VALERA wish to have on the agenda and have that accomplished and have that meeting before next Monday. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that it is not because if you look at the Nevada Open Meeting Law, any meeting would have to be posted three working days prior to the meeting and there is not enough time to be afforded that opportunity. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that SENATOR CECI left out SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE TRUJILLO. SENATOR CECI stated that he is sorry and would like him to be included. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he thinks it should be the opportunity of the justices who are selected by the Senate to meet among themselves and make a recommendation of whom they feel should be the Chief Justice. SENATOR CECI stated that if he knew his constitution, he would know that the Executive Board has to appoint the Chief Justice. SENATOR CECI withdrew the floor. SENATOR COLEN stated that at the last Executive Board meeting one of the problems was that some of the nominees were not put on the agenda. She wanted to make sure that those names are put on the next agenda. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he afforded the opportunity to submit names to SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE, PRO-TEMPORE TRUJILLO, and VICE PRESIDENT VALERA. They haven't submitted anything to him, and if they choose not to, he can't force them to put the names that they want on the agenda. If they don't want to come to Executive Board meetings and they don't want to submit names, then they should not be complaining that they didn't get the opportunity. SENATOR COLEN stated that she heard that those nominees were submitted to him before that agenda and asked if they were submitted before. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he doesn't understand her question. SENATOR COLEN stated that the on the last Executive Board agenda before the one today, did he receive the names of the people they wanted amended on to the agenda months ago and lost them or he didn't want to put them on and then he wanted to re-submit those names and put those on the next agenda. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that all three of the other Executive Board members were afforded the opportunity to submit those but they have to submit them on paper. SENATOR COLEN stated that her question is has he already gotten those names before at any time. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he didn't get anything on paper. SENATOR COLEN withdrew her question. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated that she has withdrawn her question. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he is answering her question and she can't just withdraw. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated that she can, and she has withdrawn her question. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE called a recess at 8:42. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE called the meeting back to order at 8:46. 11 SENATE MINUTES 28-13/ March 9, 1998 SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated that Rebel Rave was a good event. He stopped in for about a half hour and saw numerous Senators there. He has heard nothing but compliments and praise for if from the majority of students that he has talked to that attended. He has talked to Dr. Piper regarding the incident that ended the event. They both agree that it is an isolated event and should not reflect badly on CSUN. The Board of Regents meeting is on Thursday at 1:00 and Friday at 9:15 at DRI. There is a committee meeting on Wednesday upstairs in the MSU. He asked the Senators to please stop in. He stated Go Rebels. There is a good picture of SENATOR KAWAZOE on ESPN as they won their first game. He thinks the comments about Executive Board members or Ex-officio members of the Elections board campaigning for candidates were directed to himself. He stated that he is a student at this University and is first and foremost an advocate for the students. He was campaigning for two individuals that he believes would do a good job in the positions of President and Vice President. It is entirely within his right as a student to campaign. He heard comments of it's unethical or that if you can sleep with yourself, go ahead. He stated that his answer to that is most surely he can. He has no problem campaigning for individuals who he thinks would do the best job. Being an Ex-officio member, he has approved campaign material for SENATORS CECI, WEINBERG, and ZARANTI. He did not approve anything for either SENATOR MILMEISTER or SENATOR TRUJILLO, so there was no conflict of interest. Regarding the Executive board and judicial council, he stated that he loves the comments of "I guess only one person thought was is important enough to show up." He figured it was important enough not to show up. Because they just heard PRESIDENT MILLS state that there were many candidates to appoint to the judicial council. However, there are many candidates including several that were left off. The screening process that PRESIDENT MILLS alluded to, was done entirely of his own accord. He was never asked to sit in on a judicial council interview or was never informed where they were, and neither was VICE PRESIDENT VALERA. His question is how is the majority of the Executive Board to sit in and decide who the nominees should be when a screening process has already taken place and that applicant pool has already been reduced. The biggest complaint he has about it is that two quality individuals were left off, if not more. He knows that VICE PRESIDENT VALERA has a stack of Executive Board item submissions dating back to November, because he has them because he put them under his door. He knows where his door is and which one is his, as well as VICE PRESIDENT VALERA and BUSINESS MANAGER MOORE, so that only leaves one office door on that wall. If there is a process of elimination, he thinks they know what door things are getting slid under. He encourages VICE PRESIDENT VALERA to bring his stack of Executive Board item submissions to the meeting next week. VICE PRESIDENT VALERA stated that he has submitted the names of the candidates to PRESIDENT MILLS in the presence of the Senate, and PRESIDENT MILLS at that point decided to refuse to accept those applications and said that he would accept them later. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE encouraged him to bring those and show the Senators what they are talking about. He stated that he didn't go to the Executive Board meeting SENATE MINUTES 28-13/ March 9, 1998 because he did submit something to PRESIDENT MILLS, however, he rationalizes it by saying that he is not going to put it on there because he hasn't attached applications to it. PRESIDENT MILLS stated that he hasn't submitted anything to him. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE stated that PRESIDENT MILLS doesn't have the floor. He stated that the point he is raising is that he can't submit anything because he doesn't have the applications, PRESIDENT MILLS has the applications. He stated that it is out of their hands, and into that of the chair of the Executive Board. There is really nothing they can do. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR AUGUSTIN stated that Rebel Rave went well and he was impressed. He informed the Senate of where he is with his goals. With representation, the three Liberal Arts Senators they have gone to classes and spoken to organizations. He and SENATOR BINETTI are working on a survey. They want to let the students to know that they are out there working for them. With Rules and Ethics, he has submitted three things and they are waiting for the meeting. The one thing he has been lacking on is the Directors, so he stated that if any of the Directors need his help, please ask him. SENATOR ZARANTI he advised SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE to consult with Rules and Ethics about that
