Joe (inaudible) introduced himself and stated that he is from Student Advantage. He stated that they are working with Student Government to spread out a student discount card on campus to students. It is free of charge and has discounts to over 20,000 locations. He stated that it has been going really well and they will be here all week long in front of the Student Government office. IX. EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PRICE stated that he has a personal invitation for them to attend the new student reception for Multicultural Student Affairs tomorrow at 5:00. The KUNV Committee meetings are going extremely well and they are making alot of 12 SENATE MINUTES 28-29/ September 14, 1998 progress. They have another meeting this Friday. There is a blood drive that will be taking place October 13th, 14th, and 15th, and it is a challenge from UNR Reno to see who can donate the most blood. Traditionally UNR donates alot more blood than we do here at UNLV. He asked that the Senators get students from their college and members of their organizations out there to donate. He stated that their has been some controversy over the judicial council appointments and his intention of appointing Angel Rivas was because he has the experience and he was willing to be in that position. But he is now going to make sure that rather than the experience, what is more important is the procedure that takes place. He is going to be speaking to Clark County Highschool students with a 3.5 GPA and above on Monday, October 5th. He received a complaint from representatives from the Residence Halls that a member of CSUN was reportedly ripping down fliers off a student's door and he doesn't think that is a great way for us to represent ourselves. He also thinks we had great attendance at the football game as a whole and he was very pleased. There were some questions for PRESIDENT PRICE. VICE PRESIDENT CECI stated that the IAC is meeting at 1:30 and not 2:00. If we need a new cart he thinks we should get one with a CD player and some speakers. He thanked the Directors and stated that they have been doing a great job. Dr. Harter's State of the Campus Address is tomorrow at 2:00 at the Judy Bailey Theater and he hopes CSUN will be in attendance. The reason some things were left off the OSI page is because DIRECTOR DELAFONTAINE has the entire page done and some people turned in some things late and he told her not to redo the whole page to get them on. He thanked the Senators who have come to his office the past week because he expressed his concerns about them. He is glad to see that Ice-T is coming and thinks that it will spark alot of controversy. The football game was depressing but he saw SENATOR FISK there just as happy as can be and BUSINESS MANAGER MOORE was breaking up fights in the crowd. He would like to see more students attending the football games because if not we are going to end up losing seats. There were some questions from the Senators. SENATE PRESIDENT KIMBROUGH stated that George Wallace won't have a problem with Ice-T coming to campus because he is no longer with us. People need to be turning things into the Senate Secretary by noon on Tuesday. If things are not turned in by noon tomorrow they will not make the next agenda. He stated that the Senate Secretary was here until 6:00 waiting for people to turn things in and that is ridiculous. He warned the Senate to please not say things that would jeopardize their position if they are running for re-election. He wished everyone the best of luck and advised them to speak to their students. He is sorry that SENATE PRO-TEMPORE TRUJILLO will not be joining us as well as SENATORS JORY, HEMINGTON, MILMEISTER and probably a couple of others. He apologized to SENATOR CLEMENS for gaveling him down. He then handed the gavel over to SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE TRUJILLO and stated that he doesn't feel good. SENATE MINUTES 28-29/ September 14, 1998 GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR AUGUSTIN stated that he appreciates PRESIDENT PRICE for changing his stance on Unfinished Business Item A, and he thinks that was the most professional thing to do. He was at Nathan McCall and it was very interesting and he thinks we should continue to bring in more lectures like that. He also stated that the Senate was debating whether they represent their college or just the University. Directly they represent their college but indirectly they represent everyone SENATOR ZARANTI stated that he thinks they had a good debate about Ice-T but he doesn't think that it is efficient to spend $7500. If someone is going to come and speak to us and try to give back to the community they should do it for free. He is disappointed that Floor 13 won't be attending the Rebel Experience. He enjoyed the football game but he was disappointed in the fights. He also stated that he is not considering filing. SENATOR LAZAROFF stated that in regards to the caucus, she comes from work and she doesn't know if anyone has considered a different time for it. She is sorry she hasn't gotten her picture. As far as the comment that UNLV is similar to Berkley, we have to consider that Berkley does not have the amount of commuter or non-traditional students that UNLV does. We cannot compare ourselves to the majority of other Universities because we are unlike most Universities. Even though she disagrees with the Ice-T lecture she hopes that everyone can work to get our $7500 worth. Her idea is to advertise it as a lecture, and advertise it to the different highschools.
