Faculty Continued from Page 1 lack of female faculty at the upper level. With the lack of female faculty on campus female students also experience a lack of role models and mentors. The lack ot female role models and mentors is an issue that female stu dents must address not only as professors in their classes, but as advisers in organizations. "I've been given numerous opportunities to w irk with laculty members throughout the year and in all oftliem tlie ;»d\isers have been male, said An drea Perrand a sirphomore political science major. Run-off Continued from Page 1 Ashlea Jenkins, election commissioner and a junior political science major, said that for the past several months, she has been meeting with various people about the inac curacy of the mathematical formula previ ously used. "The decision to define it [differ ently] w as made at 5 p.m. Thurs day when polling sites closed down. It's always been a decision I've had to make,” she said. “As soon as I got to Measure ment and Re search Services at 5 [p.m.], 1 said ‘This is how I’m going to define it.’ That’s the mathe matically sound way to define it.” No votes had been tallied at the time the decision was made. “I knew 1 had to do it before any votes were counted to preserve the integrity of the election,” she said. “That’s my job as an election commissioner — to provide impartiality.” The Election Commission is not required “At times I wish that 1 had a woman faculty member to relate to and inspire the other female students into taking a more active leadership part, thereby lessening the intimidation often felt by a male authority figure.” Perrard said. WTiile there are female faculty here at A&M, there are so few that some female stu dents led it is difficult to gel in touch with them. “With the activities I've been involved in on campus. I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing female faculty members," said Suzanne Tate a senior journalism major. “1 think it takes actively seeking these women out and then taking the time to get to know them.” to notify the yell leaders or any other organi zation participating in the elections ot changes in the way the commission decides to conduct the election. “We feel like the candidates and everyone involved should have been informed of what’s going on.” Bailey said. Will Hurd, student body president and a senior computer "It was a relational faux pas on our part, not telling the yell leaders about the change. But there is no place man dated in the election reg ulations that it needs to be communicated by the election commissioner." — Will Hurd Student body president science major, said he supports the Election Commission’s decision to use the new system to determine the majority. “It was a re lational faux pas on our part, not telling the yell leaders about the change,” he said. "(But there is no place man dated in the election regula tions that it needs to be communicated by the election commissioner.” “This is a more accurate, mathematical ly sound way to determine the majority,” he said. “It is my number one concern to en sure that all the people elected to Universi ty positions are elected by a majority of the constituents.” The foilwing shidt will he honored: Charles Edward Williai (Political Science major) Amanda Jeanne Ritchie (Agricultural Business major) liver Taps ceremony^ FEeld tonight at 10:30™ the Academic Building. ? ereinony is to honor those J students^who have passed m ‘ whimnrolled: , V RUBEN DElUNJVM 'l Campus Calendar Tuesday Prepharmacy Society: There will be a general meeting with a guest speaker from a surround ing Texas city pharmacy in MSC 205 at 7 p.m. Aggie Toastmasters: Learn pub lic speaking and resume building.
