Hotel
(continued from page 1)
Student Body President Ken
Johnson and some senators.
The resolution objects to the
“undue advantage” a campus
hotel might have over compet
ing hotels, to the traffic conges
tion it might create and to the
damage a hotel might cause to
the beauty of the campus.
Holubec’s resolution also
stated: “A commercial venture,
such as this, would invite other
businesses to petition the Uni
versity for space on campus.”
Holubec said: “I think it’s a
shame they’re even considering
commercializing the campus.”
But Johnson objected to the
resolution.
“1 think the timing is wrong,”
he said. “We’re jumping the
gun; we’re assuming far too
much with this resolution."
And Bond said approval of
this one proposal would not
necessarily mean a spate of de
velopment on the University
side of Texas Avenue.
“There is no reason to be
lieve, if the board turns out to
have the legal authority to
approve leasing University land,
that it will ever use it," Bond
said. “Certainly approval of the
hotel doesn't set up any kind of
open-door proposition.”
Whatever the merits of the
issue, the hotel’s fate will ulti
mately be decided by the Board
of Regents and its study commit
tee. The committee will study
the legality and desirability of
the proposal and will propose
terms for a lease if it decides the
idea is in the best interests of the
University.
Bond said the committee’s re
port should be ready sometime
in June.
The study committee is emp
owered to study only the hotel
proposal, but Bright said he had
received inquiries from other
developers for leases of Univer
sity land; the developers, he
said, are interested in building a
bank or a supermarket on
campus.
Bright said, however, that
those proposals would not be
considerea at this time.
And approval of a hotel on
campus would not necessarily
mean a Hilton hotel would be
built. Bright said if the regents
approve the hotel proposal, they
will open competitive bidding
on it.
Bond said the regents are not
compelled by law to open bid
ding.
Whether the hotel will be
built on campus, and who will
build it, are questions the re
gents will decide sometime this
year.
But the idea of a campus
hotel is not a new one.
Eric Hilton Jr., senior vice
president of Hilton Hotels
Corp., said: “I was close to Gen
eral (Earl) Rudder (former
Texas A&M president) and we
discussed the idea back in the
’60s. At the time, we were talking
about building a hotel and a
hotel school here.
“It fell through, though,
when we decided a hotel school
outfit to be located closer to a
ma)or metropolitan area.
“However, ever since, I’ve
been interested in building a
hotel on the campus.”
» And although he said he
would not build a hotel in the
area if his request for University
land is turned down, he did not
rule out trying again some time
later.
He added that the University
Hilton would not be unique in its
location on state land.
