The Senate shall not award Merit Pay to any member of CSUN. A. Merit Pay shall be defined as any form of renumeration.

III. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN said thanks to the senators who showed up at orientation. We let the new students know who we are and what we do. So, thanks to all of you. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORADKHAN said that she hopes that everyone had a great first day. The most important thing I have to say is that at the Board of Regents Meeting, we got the Rec-Center approved and the MSU Expansion. Senators, please make sure that your students are involved in how the facilities will look, and how they will be run. This approval will help with recruitment and with retention. It will help our future at UNLV. The senate did play an important role in this. The senate funded a portion of the project, and found out what students wanted from a new student union. October 16th is the date scheduled for the luncheon with our UNLV CSUN alumni. Please support athletes, and go to the games to show support. Thanks to everyone who helped out with orientation for CSUN. We did a good job. Also, thanks for showing up to the luncheon with Coach Robinson. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE GOATZ said that the memo he distributed is self explanatory. So, please don't break it, you all only have to put in two hours a week, So, don't have rules and ethics get on you about it. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA said that everyone needs to sign their e-docs. I haven't finished the interviews yet. Some Senators want to move the meeting to 5pm instead of 6pm, I understand that. I can do either or. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN said that people may be able to take classes later at night if the meetings are earlier. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORADKHAN said that she knows some people work until 5, so mull the idea around. SENATOR NYE said it would be more convenient for me. I would be here for 2 hours instead of 1 hour. I can go either way. There's an hour difference for myself. I need to participate in what we are putting out. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN said that 5 or 6 is ok with me. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA said I like the idea. Sometimes we do get out of here late, and it would be nice to be more awake. V. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 33-25 SENATOR CIANCI moves to approve. Seconded by SENATOR ANDERSON. SENATOR FLINNER moves to amend the minutes to read that she thinks we should consider both options before waiving the bylaws, and that it may be opening Pandora's SENATOR ARNESON asked were those from the tape or not, and how is Senator Flinner sure that's what she said? SENATOR FLINNER said that she asked a few people and that she didn't say what is recorded in the minutes. Motion to amend the minutes passes. SENATOR MULLINAX objects. Minutes approved unanimously. VI. STATE OF CAMPUS ADDRESS BY STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORADKHAN VII. BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS A. Senate Committee Reports Bylaws committee: SENATOR CIANCI said I told you before that I would be revising bylaws personally. There are 27 or 28 revisions. I have several things that have caught my attention. First, Bylaw 23 states that we can call emergency meetings, we don't have to call an extra meeting, we can save time and money, something to look out for next time. Also, the SPPT is the parliamentarian. We also need to know what our statutes are. I have yet to see any of our statutes. If you could maybe give some to everyone, it would be great to have senate statutes. Also, the chair of the Ways and Means Committee is supposed to give a weekly report of what's going on. Also, Senator Flinner, for campus safety and awareness, you're supposed to give a weekly report, and I don't' know the processes that are going on right now. SENATOR FLINNER said the board is working on it. SENATOR CIANCI said he's looking for an answer. Also, does the Director of Rebel Radio know that you can have 4 assistants, and you have 2? I didn't know if you knew about the other assistants or not. Also, Kenny Browder, you are in charge of scholarships, and we have six scholarships that are coming up, and, Monica, Bylaw 65 is about the CSUN scholarship, we want to know how does scholarship work? Is it by percentages? STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORADKHAN said that it is based on number of students enrolled. The money goes to financial aid, and then to students in each college. You vote for it in budget. SENATOR CIANCI also brought up Grade verification. As long as you don't fail, you don't have to pay. SENATE PRESIDENT AMES QUIT A said actually, Dave does them every month. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN asked why CIANCI was bringing all of this up right now. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA said that he's taking initiative. If he wants to use his time, then he can. It's his initiative. He's using his authority to remind people. STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN asked if Cianci was speakeing as a Representative of the committee or as the chair? SENATOR CIANCI asked may I continue? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA said yes. SENATOR CIANCI said there is no GPA requirement b/c it was struck down. We can put on a new GPA requirement. If there's no GPA there, then freshmen are excluded. Right now the bylaw means nothing. All it does is make sure we are taking six credits. Also, the CSUN services is the only directorship in constitution. CSUN services cannot be abolished. We can't remove that person. It takes 2/3 to remove others, but never the CSUN director. As for the Senate Secretary, the debate from last time, regarding rules and ethics, and who got to be on the committee, you need to compile a list of every committee and board and the names and contact information, with phone numbers and emails, you might start coming to the committee meetings as well. Especially for the next bylaws meting. The next big change to the bylaws committee, is that as of now there is no structure. I will be structuring it. Now, there will be structure, it will be limited, all positions will have duties and responsibilities. Until I find out what the statures are, I cannot send them to the committee. SENATOR FLINNER said that campus safety and awareness did not meet. There was a problem with her agenda. We will meet next Wednesday at 6pm. That's September 3rd. SENATOR GOIHL said that in next weeks agenda expect to see slots open for ways and means, and a vice chair position. The reason for no report, is that the past two weeks mine and Dave's schedules have been in conflict, so he has no report. SENATOR CORPUZ spoke for campus parking and safety. He is working with the T&M Working on sending stuff out to all places, hopefully after next week, I'll have a committee. B. Faculty Senate/University Committee Reports SENATOR GOIHL said that admissions met and there are 14 new students in. C. Business Manager Reports BUSINESS MANAGER HILL said I do a monthly grade verification for all of you. The one thing we do look for is that you are enrolled in the college. If you have any questions, the forms are in my office, so ask. Read off expenditures. D. Directors' Reports CSUN Service Director - Anisa Izzolo Hello, welcome to the first day of school, since I'm here to stay for a while, I guess you can't get rid of me. On the first floor, organization applications are in the SOURCE room. If you want to know the policies and procedures, look at the website, and please encourage people to fill out applications. I'm ordering pens. I'm fixing up the SOURCE room, and getting supplies from Dick Blick and Boise so it's an organization workroom. We had a receptionist retreat, and how we'll charge organizations for their use, so thanks to receptionists for being there. My big thing is for the PREMIER, and having an organization fair, that's why I pushed this one so much. I've been having pre-meetings, and you guys are more than welcome to come to them. I kind of lay down the law. People haven't been really receptive. If you are going to be there, and you can help out, please write your name and e-mail, it's at 4:30 Wednesday, and that would be perfect. I've been having problems marketing. Ea has been helping me with posting, and posters, so, tell freshmen it's from 5:30-7 PM this Wednesday. I'm almost done. In Reno, I did my job. We talked about their escort/shuttle services, and they do a good job, I'm looking at how they purchase stuff. It's really cool. I have information, and I'll be looking into spending money. Also, on the call boxes, you can do other things besides pick up a phone for emergency, you can call and have someone walk you from the flashlight to the dorms. SENATOR issen- just so you know, those of us in CSUN that are orientation leaders told everyone about Premier. SENATOR MULLINAX asked what time is stuff set up at? DIRECTOR IZZOLO said that setup is at 4:30 and it starts at 5:30, and if organizations don't come to meetings, they can't have a booth. Entertainment and Programming Director - Jeff Long Good day. I know there were people waiting for the band. There was a good DJ. Chipotle gave away food, and there were free tickets for House of Blues and we know what to expect now. The tailgate will be from 2:30-5 PM. So, come up to my office and grab flyers if you need any of them. SENATOR MULLINAX asked is there going to be a stage like last time? DIRECTOR LONG said no, it's in a better spot in the corner, it's better for a concert. Office of Student Information Director - Jesse Taylor I have posted the unlvcsun.com website. I need to get pictures from everyone. I don't have a server yet. I'm using a private source. The OSI page went up, I got most of your bios, and if you haven't given it to me yet, please do. Take some pictures. SENATOR GOATZ asked about the posters. DIRECTOR TAYLOR said that would be answered in another report. Rebel Radio Director - Joshua Greenrock DIRECTOR GREENROCK reminded everyone about Premier, and said that Thursday he would be set up in the MSU, also, they'll be promoting on Friday at the tailgate. They are working on banners. The sponsors are glad with what we've done with them so far. What I ask for you guys, is to create a buzz on your side of the campus. Talk and let them know what's going on. Nevada Student Affairs - Jeanine Tegano STUDENT BOYD PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN said that she wanted to thank all of you for working with her so that she can maintain her position and do all of the good things she's been doing. She'll have a report at next senate meeting. We were supposed to have her assistant on the agenda for tonight. She's working with the honors college and the dean of the law school to bring in Dr. Newman as a guest speaker form New York, he was up for a Pulitzer prize, and he wrote a book on supreme court justices, and he's asking $5,000 right now, but working with the honors college, and law and liberal arts, so it's a possibility. 5 People registered to vote. So, we have 295 applications left. SENAYOR NYE exited at 6:46 pm. Elections Director - Laurie Evans Welcome back. I had a fun first day of school. Thanks to Peter, Jeff, Monica, and Nick because they've been helping me. This has been the most stressful 2 weeks. I had to recreate this packet because the disk it was on was stolen. It was great. We lost the disk a week ago. I hope all of you got copies in your box, if not, we'll get to it later. Jeanine and I are working on a mingle with the Senate candidates. The North Field is reserved. It would be something so the Senate candidates can meet people and say hi. I had a meeting with Joseph from elections and he gave me the budget, he's been great. Also, something else that is really awesome, I have to give Jeff a huge thank you, because play station wants to come out on October 2, and they want to have a trailer type thing, and they are going to raffle off free play stations, I was looking for something to do to bring in voters, and that would definitely do it. The big things about senate packet are the grade verification which was left out of there, and I've been asking and hounding people to help me. So, thank you to Peter, I've called him at all hours stressing about that. Nick has been helping me too. Thanks to everyone, because there have been obstacles. SE
