Continued from Page 1
Through her experiences with FFA com-
petetions in high school, Gonzalez knew
that she wanted to attend Texas A&M.
“The traditions of Texas A&M sold the
University,” she said. “I don’t have a legacy
at all — no one in my family has come here.”
Gonzalez said that at first she was disap
pointed at A&M because she applied for
many activities and was not asked to join
any of them.
“It really was my biggest adjustment —
not to be able to be involved in everything
— because it’s no fun to get denied oppor
tunities,” she said. “But at the end of the
year an empty seat came up for a freshmen
senator and I found my niche.”
Gonzalez said she devoted most of her time
to Senate once she was elected.
“The most important thing about my po
sition is the opportunity to interact with the
administration and it is up to me to choose
to do something with that asset,” she said.
“I have the opportunity to hold the student
body together by relaying student opinion
on issues to the administration.”
Nicholas Yates, Gonzalez’s boyfriend and a
junior business major, said Gonzalez has
her priorities in order and she knows what
is important in her life.
“Friends are important to Alice, and
even when she is really busy she makes
time for hanging out with her friends,” he
said. “I’m in [Parson’s Mounted Cavalry]
and even though she is busy on game days,
she comes to every march-in. Alice finds a
way to be part of what I’m doing despite
her packed schedule.”
Yates said he has never seen anyone in
volved in more activities than Gonzalez.
“I don’t know how she finds the time to do
all the things she does, but somehow she
finds a way to give 100 percent to every
thing,” she said. “She doesn’t push work off
on others, she does the work herself.”
Gonzalez said she spends her free time
camping, playing dominoes at the Dixie
Chicken or hanging out with friends. She at
tends all home football games and watches
every march-in.
“I have the most incredible group of friends,
which really adds to the college experience,”
she said. “I could not imagine being in any
other place. A&M is special now, while I’m
here, but I know it will be even more special

Pharris said the people in the
provost office miss Gaston because
he was such a positive person.
“He always came to work in a
good humor,” she said. “He was
fun to work with, and treated
everyone equally.”
Gaston is from Trinidad, 150
miles northeast of College Station
in Henderson County. He graduat
ed from East Texas State Universi
ty (now Texas A&M-Commerce)
with a bachelor’s degree in social
science and a master’s degree in
government. He also earned a
master’s degree and a doctorate in
sociology from Yale University.
Gaston worked for 12 years at
Southern Illinois University. He said
his experience at SIU helped him
make his move to Texas A&M as a so
ciology professor.
“One area of my research in soci
ology was in higher education,” he
said. “I also was very involved in var
ious committee roles at Southern Illi
nois University. This experience
made it possible for me to contribute
to the developing elements of this
university.”
Polli Satterwhite, assistant to the
vice president for administration,
said Gaston is constantly on the go
whether he is in various meetings or
in his office.
“Dr. Gaston is a man who never
stops,” she said. “He has continual
energy, and I could not ask for a more
fair, caring boss. He is a tremendous
asset to this University.”
Satterwhite said Gaston works
with his directors and staff.
“Gaston’s directors and staff are a
team,” she said. “He leads us, but we
work together.”
Gaston said A&M is successful be
cause of the dedication of the stu
dents, faculty and staff.
“A&M is a community of dedicat
ed people who have been doing
more with less for a decade,” he said.
“Given the possibility of being sup
ported more generously by the state,
I believe the University will achieve
enormous accomplishments.”
With his busy schedule, Gaston
still finds the time to participate in
Aggie activities such as attending
A&M football games.
“If I could change one thing, I
would have graduated from Texas
A&M,” he said. “It would be neat to
be considered part of the Aggie fam
ily. Right now, it is I ike being an in-law
at the other side’s family reunion.”
