SENATOR BOWERS yield to STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PAUL MORADKHAN. MORADKHAN thinks that these are the programs that CSUN should fund. SENATOR BOWERS yields to Tom Hudak from Parking. Hudak stated that the peak times would be from 9-11AM. The shuttle will operate from a safety standpoint. The safety of pedestrians will increase. Students will get dropped off by the women's center and the gates. There will be two- 9 passenger shuttles . They could run every five minutes. There would be two shuttles working ten hours each M-F. It ends up being 20 hours a week basically. SENATOR BOWERS stated the only thing that we hear is that students hate walking. She was curious about the specifics. Hudak - We have to determine how and whether it was successful or not. He hopes to have available a place on the shuttle for comments. SENATOR ALTMAN asked if this is just going to be within the area of the Thomas and Mack. Hudak - Correct. SENATOR ALTMAN said that he attempted to use a midnight shuttle and was unable to do so asked if strappings were not working. Hudak - the shuttles they have are too short without ramps. The ramp becomes to steep. There will be modifications. SENATOR GEFFEN not sure to whom to ask. In terms of efficiency, how will you determine how effective the program is? Will there be a poll or survey? Hudak - He would assume that he would be back to make another presentation before the end of the semester. It is a bit of a crap shoot. We are going to do our best to make things safer. It is safety oriented. SENATOR POWELL - What type of assistance is the University giving to the program? Hudak - The drivers will receive training, uniforms, shuttle maintenance, and gasoline costs. SENATOR BOWERS - $3000 a semester is not a lot per semester to do this. SENATOR BOWERS yields the floor to STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORADKHAN. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORADKHAN - this is a joint project with the division of Student Body. The shuttle say Student Government on them. Hudak said the maintenance is 75% of the wage cost. SENATOR BOWERS - If this goes well, this will be great, but parking is scheduled to get worse, and people will be more and more out there. Hudak - the ground will break for the garage. That will produce 1600 spaces, we will lose 500 during production time. SENATOR FAUSKE- 18 seats is better than none. This is important to vote in favor of. SENATOR FLEMING- A suggestion. I know that you said that you will pick up students as they are walking. Hudak - there will be signs for gatherings where they can get picked up. They will also pick up at the cards. Move into a vote. Motion passes (23-0-0) VIII.

EXECUTIVE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SUMMATIONS VICE PRESDIENT PRO-TEMPORE GREEN states that he is working on the bus trip. Approached by KNAPP during meeting to have a bus trip to San Diego on Nov 25th because students were interested. This was seen as feasible and interest based. He has called bus companies etc. At this point it will cost $2824.85 to send 49 students to the football game to see UNLV beat San Diego. The idea was to have students pay a nominal fee to cover the costs. $20.00 is the suggested fee. People will come in and pay 20 dollars. They will be in contact with Debra, and she will give out receipts. Then they will be able to attend the trips. The total costs per person is approximately $50.00. He addressed the unethical accusation in the paper. He will send a letter to the editor. He wants the Senate to know that this is wrong. He doesn't know what the extensive report is. He has yet to hear anything about it. He has done all the work himself. There will be a letter from him in either Thursday or Monday's edition of the paper. SENATOR ROBERTS - when is the last day to sign up? PRO TEMPORE GREEN stated November 21st, 5pm STUDENT BODY VICE-PRESIDENT BRADY KNAPP.

She is very qualified, you made a great choice. Congratulations to new chairs and new senators. Congratulations to Senator Green - she has never known you as unethical. She felt that the Senate would lose their best senators when you took the seat. She doesn't think it something to worry about. You have earned our respect. The other thing, she is upset this meeting, and this is party-line. You are voting for fraternity brothers and sisters. She voted against her own little sister last year. She is upset that everyone is voting party line. She doesn't want the vote because she's your friend or because you're involved. Vote for her based on what she has done and who she is. Please do not vote for her for these reasons. Please abstain when you are voting party line. You were elected by your constituents. SENATOR GEFFEN - she is sick, sorry she's not feeling well. She hasn't been on Senate long. Wanted to say that professionalism - Senate President Davy is trying to keep everyone in. There are still people jumping or making side comments when they don't like how something goes. This is a professional body, I feel proud to be on the Senate. We should not act this way. Have an agenda - do not come to the meeting unprepared. She doesn't know how people can do that. How do you know what you are voting on. Sorry that this is all complaints. She agrees with SENATOR DAYANI - she doesn't think it should be about what organization you are in. vote for who you feel is right for. It is childish, vote for who you think will do a good job. It is very hard when two people are up for something. Don't hate someone for voting a certain way. Vote for who you feel is right. Congratulations to all. SENATOR CHASIN had no comment. SENATOR FAUSKE - although this was long, enjoyed working with everyone. He agrees with party line. By recognizing that it is there, you don't leave it at the door.
