SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: What I heard was that VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN wished it could be more integrated with Rebelpalooza. I believe from talking to Junior that he did approach E & P and it was a difference of vision with them. It's geared to one ethnicity/culture. I like how it's divided. Q SENATOR CIANCI: I was going to say that in reference to $3,000.00 we will be funding a transfer system so that it isn't as affected by it. For the time being we'll use ours and have it transferred. VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN did express that he would like to see it more involved in CSUN than SIA. That was the assumption that I came from it. VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN wanted CSUN involved more than SIA. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: It was a springboard for promotion wise for Rebelpalooza. SENATOR HOLMQUIST: I was under the impression that when he spoke to ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR LONG and ASSISTANT ENTERTAINMENT AND PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR ARNESON that it was trying to understand what was needed to throw it. SENATOR SUMNER: I wanted to say that last week we talked about using the money smart and responsible. It has a lot of potential and I would like to see them get their money. SENATOR CIANCI: I've been to quiet a few of the events. I know some of the people that put together the hula. I believe it's a good program. In the essence it should create a buzz. Before the Castaways closed, they had it their. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB moved to call the question. SENATOR ESPINOZA seconded the motion. Motion PASSES 13-4-1.

SENATOR CONWAY and SENATOR SUMNER opposes. SENATOR FLINNER abstains. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: I have a statement. Guys we talked about this last week and we voted on a certain amount of money. SENATOR ESPINOZA: The reason I submitted it is because that this $1,500.00 would get a second site on the north side of campus along with engineering, education, and sciences. A lot of students don't make it to the MSU. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: If it's a special event students would be willing to take the two-minute walk here. SENATOR MULLINAX: I'm not going to give my opinion of yay or nay. If students only went to stuff on places on campus we'd have ten MSU's. If people really wanted to come I'd like to have it on the dark side as well. SENATOR SOLDANO: Did you mouth that it wouldn't happen on the dark side? SWAT ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CONEE SPANO: The $3,450.00 I was talking about two different Stress Free Zones in the fall and spring. We wouldn't be able to put together a program in the spring for the simple fact that we don't have the manpower. Some of the places on the north side was Judy Bailey. I wouldn't say it wouldn't ever happen, but just not in the spring. It's the matter of getting the space. Understand the $2,000.00 from last week; we're cutting back to the four therapists. It creates a long line. They're the most expensive. We'll have to cut on the yoga and palates and on advertising. That's where we are at with that. SENATOR SUMNER: You said cut back to four? ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SPANO: Last week was for eight. SENATOR SUMNER: Last week you said it was a wish list. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SPANO: I probably misspoke when I said wish list. What I gave you was what I programmed. SENATOR SUMNER: It just won't be extravagate. I think it looks tacky that as a group we should stand by the decision we made. We won't add another location by doing this I think we should stay with our original item. 11 SENATOR CIANCI: I went to the one last year when it was only four people. There's a huge difference in who comes out and who leaves. That doesn't count the people that just left because the line was too long. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: I know that it's a one-day event. So if it's in the spring on a Wednesday, I would like it to be in the fall on a Tuesday or Thursday. SENATOR HOLMQUIST said something, that we have money in here and why don't we spend it on the students. If a senior graduated he could come back and ask what we spent it on. The other thing is, I looked with the Polynesian thing and I found $3,000.00. Now I challenge you all this week to find what we can transfer back into here. Think outside the box. SENATOR CIANCI: To go off of that, we just spent $3,000.00 that is just for one particular group of students. This is plainly for all students. SENATOR AUSTIN: I'm sorry SENATOR CIANCI, if you read the proposal it's not directed towards Polynesians. SENATOR ESPINOZA: Well I guess my main reason was to have one on the dark side, but I think we should still do this for our students. SENATOR MULLINAX: One of the biggest problems was it's not promoted well enough. If they cut back on promoting the event, you have to give them the extra money. We might as well spend it because it's for all students just like Polynesian. SENATOR CONWAY: We know it's for all the students. If you have a question ask it. I'm sure no one cares what you feel. Nobody cares what you think. Make a point. SENATOR HOLMQUIST moved to call the question. SENATOR HEEG seconded the motion. Motion PASSES 13-5-0. SENATOR CIANCI, SENATOR CRAWFORD, SENATOR FLINNER, SENATOR SANTIAGO, and SENATOR SUMNER oppose. New business action item B as amended PASSES 15-3-0.
