Sunday, March 22, 1981; Lib 306 Senators present: Rick dayburgh, Dave Furnstahl, Bonnie Jacobscn, Eric Johnson, Tim Lehman, Dave Meldahl, Dan Sheridan, Julie Stenson. Senators absent: Maria Green, Dean Op-pegard, Craig Peterson, Betsy Rock (all ex-cused). 1. The meeting was called to order st 5:30 by chairperson Furnstahl. S.A. treasurer Rick Brand I reported that the Senate is approx-imately $1,502.80 in the hole, as a result of last years' Cobber yearbook overexpen-diiures. The S4.4O7.85 that the Cobber overspent has been reduced by present Senate holdings and expected returns from Haramabce Weuse, the Religion Commis-sion, and Student Association. 2. Sue Veto of the Physical Induction Majors* and Minors club made a request of $700, to pay for transportation to and from the American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Conven-tion in Boston this spring. Brandl explained that any allocation would be paid out of next year's money, and so would not be available for use until next year. Veto said that the college motor pool (from which a van will be rented) would agree to have payment delayed. She explain-ed that the convention will provide informa-tion on many aspects of health and physical education, and that the whole campus will benefit by having this information brought back by those attending and shared through classsroom participation and an open forum. Each person attending will pay all other expenses, totally about $190 (for hotel room, food, registration). Meldahl, who researched the budget, said that the Phy Ed department offered to help pay some, but gave no figures. Subsequent discussion centered on who should act first, the Senate or the Phy Ed dept, in drawing the line as to how much they will pay. Clayburgh moved that the Senate take a stand by allocating $350, but no seconds were forthcoming. Meldahl moved to reject the bugdet, Johnson seconding, but after Brandl sug-gested they phone the Phy Ed department immediately to determine their position, this motion was defeated (Lehman in favor). Lehman moved to table the budget until the Phy Ed department had been contacted; Johnson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 3. The Ad-h(K Committee for Peace Educa-tion, represented by Kent Olson, Lyn V>r-thein, and Steve Cooley made a request for Up Front AN OPEN LETTER TO PETER THRANE, "SON OF SNAFU" COLUMNIST. Dear Peter: I would like to thank you for the 1980-8! Chrysler Award. On behalf of KORD Radio, I accept the award, along with the con-notations of being "The biggest parasite on the activity fee." KORD Radio is indeed a "money-losing business" and pro-bably will be for semesters to come. And by your standards, it will always be a dead end business as well. KORD never will be a self supported, independent, money-making business, but that doesn't bother me. KORD will always be operated by students — students who are taking full class loads, students perhaps employed by another business that pays at least minimum wage to help defray ris-ing tuition costs, and students who still want to enjoy and par-take in the college's academic and social activities. Of course, it would be great if the students running KORD could do all those things and still "turn a profit." I hope it happens some-day. But please don't wait for a profit next year on even the year after that. Maybe KORD will never be profitable — at least monetarily. KORD Radio, however, is and will continue to be profitable in Dr. Harlan Geiger Dr. James McAndrew, Jr. Dr. Don Cunhus .Optometrist Contact Lens 280-2020 220 Broadway, Fargo $73.75 to help sponsor a three-day Peace Education event, to be held April 6*8. Ex-penses include films, a slide show, honoraria for speakers at discussions and debate, and publicity. One-half of the expenses will be paid by MPIRG. Olson explained that the committee hopes to continue and expand upon the services provided during the one-day Peace Education Seminar held last year. Lehman and Clayburgh voiced fears thai the opinions expressed might not be impar-tial, but rather slanted to one side or the other; Olson responded that the main thrust will be purely educational, and the open discussion will alow all sides to air their views. Sheridan moved to allocate $22.50, for the movie and slide show, saying that the discussion and debate would probably not draw a large enough audience to make it worth the money. The motion was not seconded, and Cooley responded by saying that the interest shown in last year's event will probably be increased by recent political events. Clayburgh moved to accept the $73.75 budget, Johnson seconding, and the motion passed 5-2 (Lehman, Sheridan op-posed). Committee members will pay the ex-penses out of their own pockets and be reim-bursed in the fall. 4. Brandl and Velo reappeared with the P.E.M.M. budget, after talking to Armln Piplo, head of the Physical Eduction department. They reported that Pipho will be able to provide up to $100, but also that the total cost will be about $800, leaving the allocation request to the Senate at the original $700 figure. Lehman moved to allocate $350, with the remainder being paid by the students attending; no one seconded the motion. Clayburgh, arguing that the students attending arc already paying a lot, moved to allocate the $700, with Johnson seconded. The motion passed 5-2 (Lehman, Sheridan opposed). 5. Julie K. Anderson and Dave Jasperson, representing the Concord la theatre com-pany and the Concord fa forensks squad, made a request for $240 to help cover food and registration expenses at the Northern Plains Interpretation Festival at Grand Forks. The organizations are normally funded totally by the SCTA department and club dues, but they received notice of this festival too late for inclusion on the SCTA budget. Beside representing Con cord ia in competition; the organization will gain valuable experience at the event. Clayburgh moved to accept the budget, Stenson secon-ding, and the motion passed 7-0. The SCTA department will cover payment until next fall. 6. Mark OrWck, ex-S.A. president, made some comments on last years' Cobber year-book. The budget was originally overspent other ways. The main purpose of KORD is to provide an opportuni-ty for students to gain experience in radio and in business in general: experience that they could not get elsewhere. Of the forty volunteer disc jockeys, the news, sports and advertising staff, only a handful have ever worked in radio before. (In fact, the experience gained at KORD has already landed at least three people jobs outside of Con-cordia). The people at KORD are committed. These people make KORD one of the biggest and most committed volunteer organizations at Concordia. As for "a listenership which can be counted on fingers and toes," it could be very true at certain times. But a recent survey was taken, and of those that were returned, it was found that 40 percent listen to KORD regularly. by $10,342, but a publishing company representative (since fired) was responsible for a lot of this; the Cobber was not charged in those areas, reducing the overspending to $4,407.85. Nothing can really be done to the Cobber editor of last year, since there is no evidence of malicious intent to defraud. There is something of a safeguard on this years* Cobber: the editor will not be paid the last $200 of her salary if the yearbook is not out on time. 7. For a third time, Cindy Goplen and Or-vlck brought to the Senate a discussion of proposed changes in Student Production and the Campus Entertainment Com mis-sion. The changes arc: making SP and CEC a unified business, independent of Student Association, and moving the new SP to the basement of Fjctstad (leaving their present offices for S.A. use). The last Senate ap-proved a motion calling for an independent SP/CEC, but this legislation was not acted upon by then president Orvick, and was rendered null. Two weeks ago, Orvick brought to the Senate the issue of a move of offices. Any such move would require final approval by the Campus Life Facilities Board. At the present meeting, the Senate had three options; to pass legislation creating an independent SP, leaving the question of a move totally up to the CLF; to add a stipulation making the independence of SP dependent on the move; or to create an independent SP and pass a resolution br-inging the movement question to CLF. Goplen presented the reasons for an in-dependent SP, centering mainly on the organization's business-like status and the increased efficiency that would result from independence and unification. Orvick argued that a move of office would not hurt SP and would benifit SA and the Senate to have a permanent meeting place easily ac-cessible to students. Goplen (SP commis-sioner), and, by a letter, John Northrup (CEC commissioner), responded that a move would cause inefficiency and incon-vience for the new SP. After much discus-sion on the question of whether SA or SP could make better use of the upper-floor Knutson Center office, Sheridan moved to enact the by-law changes which would delete SP from SA control and allow the establish-ment of a new policy statement, with the stipulation that the new SP must move to the basement of Fjelstad. Lehman seconded the motion, which passed 6-1 (Jacobsen op-posed). These are the minutes of the Student Senate as recorded by Concordian reporter, Steve Holmes. Sunday, March 29, 1981; Lib 306 Senators present: Rick Clayburgh, Dave Furnstahl, Maria Green, Bonnie Jacobsen, It's not Q-98 and it's not FM Stereo, but KORD is giving Con-cordia students a choice. Although KORD will always have numerous problems, KORD will always be serving Concordia's students with the music dorm residents want to hear, and sports and news coverage that directly concerns them. So, Peter, when looking at the money that goes into KORD and balancing that against the money that is returned, or is failed to be returned, KORD might win the Chrysler Award every year. I hope it doesn't, but I also hope that whatever organization wins it in the future will have the non-monetary profitable return that KORD has had in its first year. Sincerely, John A.

The meeting was called (o order by chairperson Furn.it ah I at 5:35.Treasurer Rick Brandl reported that there was a $1,376.74 deficit in (he Student Activity Fund; this included money returned from Student Association and from this year's Cobber.The S.A. return totalled $1,338.06, with $850 of that figure being income from the off-campus washing machines. Brandl made a request for a $169.50 rcallocation to S.A., mostly for office expenses; Green moved to accept the rcallocation request, Peterson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 2. The Senate next considered S.A. Presi-dent Mark Orvlck's velo of a $700 allocation to the Physical Education Majors and Minors Club, approved at the last meetlng.Sue Velo of P.E.M.M. explained that the money would-be used to pay transportation costs to the American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Convention in Boston, April 13-17; thirteen members are planning to attend, and would bring back new ideas to help improve the health and fitness practices of the college. Orvick had no complaints about the goals and benifits of the trip, but thought the cost was too high, and was wary of setting a "dangerous" precedent of funding transportation costs (which will only get more expensive in the future). Green, mentioning a recent home economics trip which cost each participant $600, wondered why the P.E.M.M. Club couldn't pay their own way as well; Lehmann brought up the fact that they are planning to pay around $200 each for other expenses. Peterson said the campus' health and fitness needs were at such a basic level that there was no need to go to a convention to acquire the necessary information and ideas. Lchmann moved to override Orvick's veto, thereby approving last week's alloca-tion; Johnson seconded, and the motion failed 2-9 (Johnson, Sheridan in favor). Lehmann made a second motion, to allocate $350, a figure which he saw as more in line with the possible benifits of the trip. Johnson seconded, and the motion passed 7-4 (Rock, Peterson, Clayburgh, Green op-posed). 3. S.A. President-elect Keith Fuglie presented a set of By-law changes* which re-qufre Senate approval for their enactment.Changes in Article I of the By-laws clarified the presidential veto, established the post of the Public Relations Commissioner, and eliminated all By-law references to Student Productions and Cam-pus Entertainment Commission. The pro-posed alterations in Article II would split the present job of the S.A. Treasurer into two different positions, the Senate Treasurers and the S.A. Business Manager. Fuglie's proposals for Aricle IV (campaign regula-tion) would clarify the concept of formal campaigning, place a $300 campaign spen-ding limit on presidential candidates, and re-quire a $50 allocation to both teams involv-ed in the general election. Sheridan disagreed with the spending limit and $50 allocation proposal, saying that such monetary concerns should not be in the By-laws. Johnson moved to accept the changes proposed in ArticI I; Lchmann seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Johnson moved to accept the changes pro-posed in Article II; Stenson seconded, and the motion passed 10-1 (Sheridan opposed). Oppegaard moved to accept the proposed changes in Article IV which concerned for-mal campaigning, both not those concern-' ing money; Sheridan seconded. Clayburgh moved to accept all of the changes proposed in Article IV. Oppegaard's motion passed 6-5 (Clayburgh, Johnson, Peterson, Lehmann, Meldahl opposed). 4. The meeting adjourned at 7:00. z !
