ing its Special Olympics the Chad Pow
ell Memorial Special Olympics Track
Meet, said Genni LaPlante, director of
special education for the Keller district.
“He truly in his daily life exempli
fied what we desire in a volunteer lor
the Special Olympics because of the
way he opened his heart and since he
did volunteer every year of his high
school career, 1 wanted to dedicate this
to Chad,” LaPlante said.
A ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday.
Jill Powell said the*students taught
her son and he taught them.

ship that people can develop between
special needs people,” she said.

Faculty

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

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."
