“If you don’t vote, you won’t have a voice in your
class at Texas A&M,” Poland said. “You exercise your
ownership of your class by voting to determine who
your leaders will be. It is one of the first ways to get
involved in A&M.”
Poland said involvement and participation in elec
tions can help students improve the University.
However, he said students need to stay involved
after elections are over.
Nolan Barkhouse, Class of '98 president and a se
nior international studies and political science ma
jor, said voters need to be informed about candi
dates.
“Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to candi
dates,” he said. “Go get to know them so you can be
informed. Voters must reach out because of the size
of this campus — candidates can’t reach everyone.”
Barkhouse said freshman elections are important
to a class because it is the first time freshmen make
decisions about the University.
“The class council lays the groundwork for the fu
ture of the class, from the class gift to the Ring Dance
and Elephant Walk,” he said. “Each class wants to
leave something great for the University, so now is the
time to pick the best students for the job.”
Barkhouse said the size of A&M and the freshman
class should not deter students from voting.
“Your vote really does count,” he said. “I’ve seen
elections won by 30 votes. I think in a lot of ways even
if you don’t know the candidate or the person, by the
effort they put into being elected you can gain insight
into the effort they will put into their job after elec
tion.”
Students can vote at the MSC, Evans Library,
Blocker, Kleberg, Zachry and Wehner buildings, the
Underground, the Commons Lobby, the Student
Recreation Center and Duncan Dining Center.
Student, dean exchange roles
By Colleen Kavanagh
Staff writer
Texas A&M deans have full schedules. Just ask De
Lyla Alexander, an educational psychology graduate
student who substituted as the College of Education
deanTltesday.
Alexander and Dr. Jane C. Conoley, dean of the Col
lege of Education, traded places Tuesday after Alexan
der won the Dean-for-a-Day rafile, which raised almost
$800 for the Peggy Ritchy Endowed Scholarship.
Alexander’s day began with a staff meeting at 8:30
a.m. She said Conoley’s staff impressed her.
“I respect the way Dr. Conoley handles things,” she
said. “The staff brings experience and expertise to the ^char^
college.
Alexander had meetings with Dr. Ray M. Bowen, ol]t j s gj

nd. Abe
Texas A&M president, and Ronald Douglas, Texas A&M
executive vice president and provost.
“I admire the administration here at A&M,” she said.
“They are brilliant and made me feel extremely com
fortable.”
Alexander also reviewed 54 funding issues, read a
proposal for a dissertation and wrote some memos.
“Dr. Conoley had such a full schedule,” she said. "I
never got a chance to sit down,”
Conoley attended Alexander’s educational statistics
class and researched two questions in Evans Library.
Conoley also met four of Alexander’s professors for
lunch.
“I enjoyed talking to professors today,” she said.
“I don’t get to meet with them very often because I
am usually in meetings or my office all day.”
Conoley said she went to the MSC, drank coffee,
read The Battalion and watched students for an hour.
“It was fun to trade places for the day and get to do
something different,” Conoley said. “I really enjoyed
being a student.”
