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.

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.” Commission^™;;™ _ , , „ ,gesandle< Continued from Page; mac ieup. “The future economk Sharon Da cial vitality of Texas depend' cessible and affordable MU ' ucation that extends oppork to all members of oursocie:jj lege and university leaders] a joint statement.
