Action Item: Discussion/Approval of allocating an amount not to exceed $1152.00 to assist the UNLV Marching Band in purchasing new baseball caps. Costs to be encumbered from the SUN 2702 FY 00-01 (General-Discretionary) account. As submitted by Senator Dayani; SENATOR DAYANI offered a point of information that she was e-mailed to resubmit the item and she asked if there was a representative that could come to the meeting. Move into a vote. Motion passes (17-0-0). SENATOR DAYANI moved to approve, seconded by SENATOR BOWERS. SENATOR DAYANI yielded the floor to Nicole Cordova, a student band representative to speak on the issue. Nicole Cordova said that she has been a member of the marching band for three years. She said the band plays at pep rallies and the games. The hats were bought earlier for a game in September. They were used for hot temperatures - that day it was 120 degrees on the field. They felt this helps the band look good on television and to recruit future members. She understands there are concerns about the band not being heard at events. She is requesting to even just pay for a small amount - she pleads that you approve this item. Student Representative Cordova also submitted a signed letter from the coach on these matters. (This letter is attached to the ending of these minutes). SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked how many year have you been part of the band? Nicole Cordova responded for three years. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked if they received hats last year? Nicole Cordova replied "yes." SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked how long people stay in band for? Nicole Cordova said that Music Majors do four years or five. Some try a year and others quit. New freshman come in every year. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked why do they feel they need new hats every single year. Nicole Cordova said that in the past they were sponsored by Reebok, but now they are sponsored by Nike. Now they need hats to go with the uniform. The old company stopped making the hats and they can't find matching hats like the ones they had. In order to get everyone matching they bought a new set of hats. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked how much does it cost per Nicole Cordova said they cost about $7.00. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked if it was true that they have already been purchased? Have you already used the hats? Nicole Cordova said that their director decided to use the hats. They were supposed to get them for the November games. They don't usually wear them for night games. He felt that it was in their best interest to wear the hats. The hat is part of the uniform. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES asked, thus you are looking for reimbursement? Nicole Cordova said correct. They are asking for the hats be paid for. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR asked how many were made. Nicole Cordova said she didn't know exactly. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR asked how many are in the band. Nicole Cordova said approximately 110. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR asked if it is safe to assume about 110 were made. Nicole Cordova said that the Color Guard and Majorettes get the hats as well as alumni. SENATOR BOWERS asked that if Nike is sponsoring you, why wouldn't they help with the hat price? Have they contributed anything? Nicole Cordova stated that because they buy in bulk, they reduce the cost. That is why they are only 7 a hat. There is a big price difference. The extra hats are for others on staff. There are more than 110 ordered. SENATOR BOWERS said that it is also my understanding that if we don't fund this, you were told you will get funding from the football team. Is that accurate? Nicole Cordova replied "yes." SENATOR GEFFEN said that there are only a few more games left. Who is to say that you can find the hats next year? Nicole Cordova said that it is her understanding that the design of the hat will change and each year they will have to get a new hat. The hats change each year. SENATOR HUMPRHEY rebutted that if SUN doesn't fund them, the football game will fund them, correct? She also asked if the members have to pay for them? Nicole Cordova said that if the SUN body does not approve funding, they will get paid for. SENATOR DICK asked if they already paid for. You already have the hats, correct? Nicole Cordova replied with "correct." SENATOR BOWERS said that she wouldn't mind funding them in a smaller amount. Maybe what every other organization gets is more than adequate. I don't think we should pay the full amount. We have funded them in the past. Be it no fault of them themselves, but they don't work with us very well - the director refused to shorten practice in order to help us use the field for Choose or Lose. They should be willing to work with us. SENATOR DAYANI yielded the floor to Director McClenahan. Director McClenahan said that when they were planning Choose or Lose they had numerous meetings with the band director. They were not allowed on the field before the practice. It doesn't seem like Rebel Experience has a fluid transition by the band entering the field the way they do. These are just some concerns. SENATOR DAYANI said that she respects both opinions. She doesn't think it is a point worth taking. It is the Director that we have problem with. We should not approve/disapprove things based on the director's attitude toward us. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR said that it seems that their time is very valuable. The band members also said to move would have been costly to their performance. He said the fact they left 30 minutes earlier that day hurt them in the long run. Move into a vote on the item. Motion fails (2-9-6). (SENATOR HUMPRHEY, CORNELISON, SLOGAN, HOMAMPOUR, FLEMING, PEISTER, GEFFEN, DICK, and SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES opposed). (SENATORS MORADKHAN, BROWN, BOWERS, PELTING, BOWLED, and FAUSKE abstained). D.

SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES moved to open nominations, seconded by SENATOR HOMAMPOUR. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE GONZALES moved to nominate Heather Howard, seconded by SENATOR PEISTER.
