After two years of planning and
J construction, the Bryan-College Sta-
T tion Eagle newspaper has a new
J building.
The building was dedicated Sun-
jj- day with nearly 100 people looking
on, including U.S. Congressman
Phil Gramm, the keynote speaker.
^ Gramm called the Eagle an “in-
fluence that extends beyond Brazos
County” and said the new facility
was built to meet the needs of a
growing community.
J The 43,000-square-foot building,
J located on Briarcrest Drive, is five
times the size of the previous Eagle
14. newspaper office, and W.S. Pear-
>4- son, president and publisher, noted
^ the building was designed to allow
expansion if needed.
The 45-minute ceremony was

Dr. James Harvey Johnson. The
picture depicts a golden eagle sit
ting on a branch surveying the area
around him.
Johnson said the painting would
stand as a symbol of the Bryan-
College Station Eagle s responsi
bility to uphold the first amendment
and the freedom of the people of
Bryan-College Station.
Texas A&M President Jarvis Mil
ler told the crowd he appreciated
the fine work the Eagle had done
over the years, and the work it had
done for Texas A&M University.
Miller also told of his recent trip
to Eastern Europe, and the lack of
freedom of the press there. He
stressed the citizens of Bryan-
College Station and the U.S. should
be thankful for the freedom they
have.
Gramm echoed these thoughts.
“Our country is the greatest in
the world,” he said. “We are also
the greatest hope for the world.”
Gramm said Texas, in particular.
has a huge stock in the future of our
nation.
“Texas has quite a few resources,
and I believe we will be the pioneer
in several areas of our nation’s de
velopment,” he said. “I believe
while most of the people in the
North are squinting up at the sun,
we in Texas will be putting it to
work for us.”
People are moving from the
North to Texas, Gramm said, and
attributed the movement to the
headstrong attitude of the Texas
people, notably the Bryan-College
Station area.
“The ‘can-do’ spirit of Texas and
Texas A&M are a primary reason for
the growth in this area,” he said.
“The people are moving here be
cause of this, and I expect growth in
the area to increase in the future.”
Lorence Bravenec, mayor of Col
lege Station, said he too appreciated
the fine work of the Eagle, and
hoped the newspaper would con
tinue the good work.

Cancer group raises
money with concert
By NANCY ANDERSEN
Battalion Staff
A free outdoor concert with 20
kegs of beer helped raise money for
the Brazos County unit of the
American Cancer Society Sunday af
ternoon.
Faron Evans and Branded, a
four-man, one-woman country-rock
band, played from atop a flatbed
trailer in the parking lot adjacent to
Pasta’s Pizza.
During the four-hour concert
about 200 people came to listen and
buy the 50-cent beer. All proceeds
will go to the local unit.
Beverly Morris, president of the
unit, said she appreciated the efforts
of the band and the sponsors. She
singled out radio stations KTAM
and KORA, who promoted the con
cert, for special thanks.
Band leader Faron Evans said the
band was happy to help out the
community.
The community received more
than $52,000 worth of services last
year, said Morris.
These services include programs
for cancer patients, stop-smoking
clinics and literature and films about
cancer.
The profits have not been deter
mined yet.
