The conference will be held from January 31-February 3, 2002, at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. The sponsorship of the Senate in the amount of $3600 ($300 per student) will cover the cost of travel for these students. The Afro-American Studies Program and the College of Liberal Arts will cover the travel costs of two additional students. The Big XII Conference on Black Student Government is a leadership conference that helps African-American student leaders address issues relevant to African-American students attending predominantly white colleges. Conference attendees attend leadership and communication skill building workshops, as well as major plenary sessions by national speakers such as BET news anchor Ed Gordon and former president of the National Association of Black Psychologists, Dr. Na'im Akbar, both of whom will speak at the 2002 conference. The student leaders were selected based on their continuous campus and community involvement. The enclosed conference schedule highlights the types of workshops that will be offered. I am certain that our students will bring back exciting and useful ideas that will benefit our entire campus. The UNLV student community will always benefit from supporting its student leaders in their efforts to become role models for others. If you have any questions, please call me at 895-3401. The Afro-American Studies Program and the College of Liberal Arts appreciate your consideration.

Our department is sponsoring the registration costs for five additional students, at a cost of $385. The Big XII Conference on Black Student Government has developed into a leadership conference that helps African American student leaders address issues relevant to African American students attending predominately-white college campuses. Conference attendees attend leadership and communication skill-building workshops, become more aware of successful ethnic minority student organization programs at other universities, and attend powerful plenary speaker workshops by national speakers, including BET news anchor Ed Gordon, for the 2002 conference. The nine ethnic minority students were selected from our student leaders active within the department. The enclosed conference schedule highlights the types of workshops offered; we know our students will bring back incredible ideas that will not only benefit the department, but the entire student body. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas student community will always benefit from supporting its student leaders in their efforts to become role models within their own groups.

There are still other demands to be looked at during a later meeting. The percentage was also moved from 6% to 10%.

It is simply making your speeches. This is stating that you only have to say it to the classes in the college your represent. A rule can clarify a bylaw and it can go further. It just can't change it or conflict it; SENATOR CHASIN- She doesn't mind speaking in classes pertaining to her college, but if she gets up in an English class no one is going to pay attention to her; SENATOR ZARNDT- That is why she kept in "of the college they represent"; SENATOR MACDONALD- She can guarantee that in her Geology class if she got up there right now and said she was a Hotel Senator most of them would say congratulations, but there could be that one person that has some kind of concern and she can hook them up with the right person.
