< Campus Page 2 The Battalion Monday, April 5,1W Thirty seats open this year A&M faculty to elect senators Wednesday By ROBIN ROACH The Battalion Texas A&M University faculty members will go to the polls Wednesday to elect Faculty Senate representatives. The faculty will elect senators from Sterling C. Evans Library and each of Texas A&M's 10 colleges. The number of senators from each college is based on the college size. Dr. John Quarles, speaker of the Senate and professor of medical microbiology and immunology, said the Faculty Senate elections usually experience a strong voter turnout. The Senate has continued to gain more faculty support each year - an impressive feat since it's a fairly new forum of representation, said Dr. John Kochevar, chair of the election committee and associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine. The Senate was established in 1981. The Senate advises the University president on any matters concerning the University community. "Anything of importance to the University finds its way to the Senate for discussion," Kochevar said. Although some of the decisions generated by the Senate concentrate more on the faculty, Quarles said, its actions also directly affect the students. Thirty seats are open for election this year. Senators are elected for three-year terms and are restricted to serving six years out of a nine- year period. The Senate replaces about one-third of the seats each year, and there are currently 94 senators. The newly-elected senators will begin their terms at a regular Faculty Senate meeting in May. Absentee balloting is in progress through today. The regular election will be held April 7. Results will be released after 5 p.m. Correction Hie Battalion reported Friday that Ray Hutchison was among four Republican candidates from the May 1 U.S. Senate special election who was scheduled to appear at Saturday's College Re publicans' 1993 State Conven tion.

August •Denotes those senators ineligible to run for another three-year term. Part 1 of a tzvo -part series By KRISTIN OGRODOWICZ and Dr. JANE COHEN A.P. Beutel Health Center Thousands of people suffer from allergies, and they don't even know it. Mysterious ailments, such as perpetual colds and chronic headaches, may actually be allergy symptoms. These discomforts can be eliminated with proper diagnosis. The following quiz can help determine allergy potential: •Do cold-like symptoms persist for more than two weeks, or happen at unlikely times, such as on a trip? ♦Do you get cold symptoms year-round, or more often than other people? •Do you have frequent eye irritation (such as itching or burning and tearing) without direct cause? •Do symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing appear quickly after you change surroundings (room, car inside/outside)? • Do you experience frequent unexplained headaches in certain situations or places? •Is nasal discharge clear and thin rather than yellow and cloudy? • Do you experience frequent sneezing episodes? •Have you experienced puffiness accompanied by shiny discoloration around your eyes? If the answer was yes to four or more of these questions, then allergies could be the problem. A family doctor or allergy specialist offers thorough examinations, and if warranted, prescribe appropriate medication. Some medications act as "allergy blockers" to prevent allergic reactions from occurring in the first place. Tuesday: Part II - What are allergies? Feeling like this lately? Tired of studying?
