ANNOUNCEMENTS VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE HALE- None; VICE PRESIDENT FAUSKE- Wants to thank the directors and senators for communicating and working together as a whole; PRESIDENT MORADKHAN- State of the Campus Address: Good evening and welcome, as we begin another year here at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, it is part of the Student Government tradition that I deliver my state of campus address, at the first Senate meeting of the Fall Semester to you my fellow classmates and colleagues. As many students are aware, Student Government has been working to enhance the undergraduate collegiate experience. This ambitious goal is one that is a huge undertaking in many ways. It is a goal that is being achieved with every new challenge that we face, every new debate that we engage in, and with every new student that enters this great university. These factors are driving factor that is allowing Student Government to rebel against the status quo. Student Government has been developing into an organization that now looks now its decisions and policies not only effect its internal operations but the impact that it has on the entire university community. It is important to serve as a reminder, that the actions of Student Government have an effect on the administration, staff, faculty but most importantly the lives of our students. It is my belief that CSUN is a dynamic part of the university that is on the move, with even greater prospects for the future. Each new project that we undertake, we continue to set new milestones each year in terms of programs, services, and partnerships. These milestones are being met not as a result of one person's desire but rather is becoming a reality by the commitment of a group of individuals from the various internal departments of our agency. It is the trust that we place in one another that allows us to move forward with the CSUN goals. Student Government is moving in the direction of pro-active leadership, in which various ideas are presented and those ideas that best benefit our students are being nurtured, expanded, and implemented with the type of zeal and commitment that not only I expect from this group but what our student body expects from us their elected student leadership. Today, has been a day that I believe will set the tone for the commitment that Student Government will carry for the entire year. In my first year as President, I learned the importance about of partnership, commitment, and the mission of the university and the role that Student Government can have with its students and the administration. It was a year, were we saw the establishment of the advisory councils and the resource that they can offer not only to the office of Student Body President but to CSUN as a whole. Another initiative that I believe that benefited CSUN, is the increased participation in university functions such as the Planning retreat, search committees, standing committees like commencement, Orientation, Family Weekend, and IAC. I also believe that the CSUN has a very strong relationship with the UCCSN Board of Regents, we now an enjoy a relationship with many of the board members that not only respect CSUN but appreciate the commitment of responsibility and management that we have as student leaders. As president, I believe that attending these members with large CSUN delegation over the past year have had many beneficial effects, that have resulted in many new partnership with other student governments in the State. It has been noted many times, that CSUN's leadership is appreciated at the Board of Regents meetings and the Nevada Student Alliance, which is the Student Body Presidents' association in our state. During my time as president, I have been asked to report about a variety of student issues to the members of the board. It was from the board, that it become clear that CSUN must provide a student run student activity radio station. As a result of the strong lines of communication and partnerships that I have been able to establish with the administration, Rebel Radio has become a reality. In matter months, this project which at first only had a name, has now policies, governing documents, directors, and support from the UNLV administration and the Board. In a very short time, KREB will be broadcasting and a legacy will be set for future Rebels at UNLV. Rebel Radio is an example of how one idea has been an institutional project and has been a very positive experience for all those involved. Another significant project for Student Government has been the commitment to expanding its internal operations. In least then six months, CSUN now occupies the entire 3l d floor of the union, it has workrooms for our senators, directors, and conference space. It is place that reflects school spirit and has an imposing message to those that interact with CSUN. That message being that CSUN is not a club but a department, a department that has had to earn the respect of others and is proud of its achievement. In June, CSUN was ready to move forward with another step in its student-focused plan. That step was the acquisition of the CCD SORCE Room, today the CSUN SORCE Room provides an expand amount of services to our students and has increased the CSUN presence not only in the union but throughout the campus. I am proud to announce that we now have four locations to serve our students. With these expansions, there was a commitment to longer hour of operations and weekend services. Another example of commitment to our students has been the relocation of the CSUN tailgate parties, today CSUN now maintains the area south of the stadium formerly known as the Alumni Park which will be renamed shortly. In addition CSUN has been allocated over 38,000 square feet of space of the Sam Boyd Practice Field to hold bigger, better and more student oriented Tailgate parties. Another example of Rebelling against the status quo, was the recently completed negations with Vice President of Student Life Rebecca Mills and Vice President of Finance Anthony Flores, and of course with the support of our university president Dr. Carol Harter. As your president, I felt this issue had to be one where CSUN was firm in its position by doing extensive research, by working with members of the all internal CSUN departments, and by acting as mature leaders. It is because of the handling of this negations, that my belief of strong partnerships with the administration not only benefited our student leadership but the entire student body president benefited from my leadership philosophy. As a result of CSUN determination, this department saw an increase of 230,000 to its annual budget. This is the biggest monetary increase from student fees that CSUN has ever encountered. This achievements reflect what has been accomplished in these past few months but it is even more important to announce what path CSUN will be undertaking for the academic school year. There will be several CSUN goals for this department to participate in, these goals will add greatly to everyone's experience to UNLV experience. In terms of partnerships, CSUN will strength its partnerships with the Alumni Association, the Division of Student Life, and with UNLV Athletics. These partnerships have been very beneficial in terms of public relations, monetary support in Rebel Radio, and their focus on student services and activities. CSUN will be strengthening its relationships with Campus Community Development by re-evaluating our relationship and role with its services and activities, it is a move that many feel will be beneficial and very productive as CCD under goes its own internal restructuring as bring forth of the Division of Student Life. Student Government is evaluating its current student services in their terms of their support and impact on our students. One example is the nighttime shuttle program. This year, CSUN has budgeted support for this important safety service for our students. One project of the directors has been the developmental of a more efficient shuttle route and also where more additional security lights could be placed around our campus. Meetings are being scheduled for this presentation early next week. With the commitment to allocating as much money to student activities and scholarships, CSUN has changed its elections process and allowing its student taking a more active role in its process and educating more students about how to become a CSUN Senator and what it takes to be a elected CSUN member. This change allowed CSUN to reallocate more than $30,000 to programming and scholarship. In terms of our campus organizations, we, their student government will be their source of information and management. With the acquisition of the SORCE Room, CSUN has been to set the tone that we are the sole department in charge of the student organizations and that they are our responsibility. This role of being the authority over the campus organizations will continue, as this year CSUN starts to launch into the area of leadership training and development. Also, 70 campus organizations will be able to receive $500 each and now be able to maintain university bank accounts. That is commitment of $35,000 directly to our student organizations. Also, as CSUN continues its increased monetary support to campus wide activities it is the intent of this department to play a larger decision making process on these committees on the behalf of our students. Many here believe, that if CSUN supports a program, then this department will not only receive credit but have a role in the event. This department will no longer be viewed as a bank for the university but rather a partnership but a very pro-active partner. In terms of our state political affairs, I have complete confidence that this area will see the greatest redefinition in the role that it plays in the structure of CSUN and the role that it has with Governmental Relations and its research branches. The commitments placed by this department has been one where every project from the new CSUN Political lecture Series to its radio show will be a well thought out endeavor. A part of CSUN's task is to provide student entertainment to this student body. With programs like movie , comedy nights, the tailgate concert series, sidewalk entertainment, concerts, and marketing our students will enjoy over 80 different type of entertainment venues. Also, it is the part of the CSUN goal to add a fifth location to better serve our students on our ever-growing campus. An additional auxiliary office will add services to the student body, this office might be a current university building or be negotiated in one that might be built in one of the upcoming building projects. However, the most important project that I am pleased to announce tonight, that will have a direct impact on our student body and something that this university desires, is a video yearbook. As Student Government, it is our duty to define areas that need commitments and to support them. It is a project that will be assigned to the advisory councils and will be their responsibility not only to determine its feasibility but its task to collect material and to produce for our students. As student leaders, it is important to remember that at times, that their will be challenges from not only from the within but from outside forces in whether the decisions that we make are for the best interest of our student. It is many leadership theories, such challenges can only make a leader and that organization ever stronger before. I know that as your president, that I have lead this department with a commitment to making the best decisions for our students and the overall good of the entire university community. At times, you will make decisions that might not be popular but that they are decisions that you know in your heart are for the best for the entire student body. It is when you accept those challenges and are not afraid to face them. It is when you make these decisions with confidence , that you have been able to do the right thing. A true leader is one that not afraid of a problem or ashamed of a decision but rather knowing that because of a decision that this student body will have a year in which foundations are being set forth for the overall good. Fellow students, I hope that during this upcoming year, that you remember that the Mission of CSUN is Student Serving Students and that guiding philosophy will be the direction that many of you here tonight shall embrace and remember as you embark on journey of self growth as student leaders and UNLV Rebels; IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY- States that we don't have any minutes and she needs to discuss this with everyone. The last secretary left and did not take and notes for most of the last meeting and the tape didn't work so we have no minutes from the entire last meeting and part of the minutes before so those items are going to have to be put on the next agenda. She apologizes that the next agenda will be very long, but it is the only way we will be able to have those items in the record. So hopefully we have all gotten the discussion out of our systems and we can just pass what passed and fail what failed; V. BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS A.

States he appreciates the Senate moving ahead to the presentations of the speeches. He didn't really have a speech prepared because he wasn't aware he was going to give one. However, he speaks for himself pretty well. He did miss a class to be at the meeting. It is a Constitution Law class. He has taken a Constitutional Law Class before in which he received an A and the highest grade in the class. He gets to take another Constitutional Law class and as one of the requirements. He does have extensive experience in all areas of Law. He has worked in a high school Youth Court as a lawyer and a juror. He went to school in Idaho. Idaho State Youth Court....I worked for a law . It was a small law with two lawyers. He got to be everything from a secretary, receptionist, law clerk, a runner, make coffee, and everything they wanted him to do. He feels that he has a lot of experience that is unique in that he works in a hotel here in Las Vegas and it is in his type of personality to seek out new things and different ideas and meet people that aren't necessarily similar to himself. He has a lot of experience. As well as the folks he works with are from various backgrounds so he gets a lot of experience from them. Thank you; SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY- Asks if there are questions for the candidate; SENATOR POWELL- Asks which hotel he works at; Candidate Getzen- States he works at the Venetian; SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY-Asks if there are any questions pertaining to the job at hand; SENATOR POWELL-States you said you were a lawyer at a youth court in Iowa or Idaho? So basically you defend or prosecute the youths?; Candidate Getzen- States he was a defense attorney in the Idaho State Youth Court. It's a sentencing court only. The juvenile offenders must plead guilty and if not be convicted and sent to Youth Court. They must plead guilty. Part of the sentencing recommendation by the State Court is to send them to a Youth Court which provides a sentencing function. What they do in the sentencing function in Youth Court is to provide them with a public defender. Anything from community service to writing a report and sending it to their school. What is interesting is when the juveniles are much more punitive; SENATOR POWELL- Asks if the court is composed of all youths; Candidate Getzen- States the judge is an actual judge from whatever jurisdiction and there are procedural rules that have to be followed to help guide the juvenile; SENATOR POWELL- Asks when his expected graduation date is and what he plans on doing after he graduates and if he plans on going here for law school; Candidate Getzen- States he is going to go to law school, but he hasn't chosen one yet. He scored a 153 on his test which is a decent score. He was expecting considerably higher than that. He has taken three practice tests from Kaplan and scored about 158-160; SENATOR POWELL- Asks what is the the best; Candidate Getzen- States 180, but that doesn't necessarily indicate you didn't miss any questions because it is a scale. It's a range from 120-180. 153 put him in the 63rd percentile roughly. He was hoping for the 80th percentile. He is re-taking them again in October. He is taking another class designed to help with your scores. With that being said he is not really sure what law school he is going to apply to much less attend; SENATOR BOWERS- Asks if he has read the CSUN Constitution and Bylaws; Candidate Getzen- States that he has read them; SENATOR BOWERS- Asks how he feels about the current state of our constitution; Candidate Getzen- States there were some typos that he found that are minor for the most part. Except for one that was in the judicial section that potentially could be a very large problem. Instead of writing "or" it says "of' on Section F. He has a copy of that, but it might just be confusion about procedural rules; SENATOR HOMAMPOUR- States obviously the candidate has read the constitution. Do you know that being a justice is a two-year commitment and it is not paid? In the past we have had justices that have run for positions and resign for other positions. Are your intentions to do something else for CSUN or can you make a commitment for the next two years?; Candidate Getzen- States that he can make that commitment. He does want to be a justice and he plans on going to law school and thinks this will look good on his law school resume. He has more than an adequate amount to pay for school and all his expenses and it doesn't bother him that it is not a paid position; SENATOR DAYANI- Asks how he found out about the open position?; Candidate Getzen- States he believes it was last spring there was an article in the Rebel Yell regarding that fact that they didn't have enough justices for quorum. There was an issue pending that they needed new people. At the time he didn't apply because of the time commitments. He became interested in that and its something he definitely wanted to do. He understands there is a possibility of more positions becoming available in October and if he is not chosen at this time he will consider applying again; SENATOR DAYANI- Asks if he feels if it is better for the judicial to be proactive or reactive; Candidate Getzen- He believes it is a reactive position as far as the constitution goes. It is part of the checks and balances system; SENATOR DAYANI- States she wasn't expecting that kind of answer and he did very well; SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE MORADKHAN- States she doesn't have a question she has a comment to make because she was the only legislative person at the interview. She was highly impressed with the candidate and feels we should back him up. She sat there and Vice President Fauske asked if she had any questions and she responded no because he covered everything that she would be looking for in a good Judicial Council candidate. She thinks he is a good candidate and that's all; SENATOR DAYANI- Asks if he has any affiliation with any of the members in the room; Candidate Getzen- States that unfortunately he feels happy to say that he knows not a single person in the room. He feels that by not knowing anyone personally makes he more qualified to be partial; SENATOR BOWERS- Asks if he is graduating this May; Candidate Getzen- Scheduled to graduate this May. Not certain. He knows he is going to pass all his classes, but he hasn't made that decision yet; SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY- Asks if there are any further question. Candidate Green; Candidate Green- States he has attachments to supplement what he is going to talk about and just as something to look at. The first section states documentation he is familiar with. He is very much familiar with Robert's Rules of Order, the CSUN Constitution, the CSUN Bylaws, the CSUN Statutes, and past judicial cases. He just wanted to show that he knows the rules of Student Government. The next section is related moral experiences of the candidate. The first is a Catholic upbringing. He only mentions that because he wants to show that he had a strong moral compass as a child as he was raised. He attended the United States Milit
