Mcllhaney said the council’s decision will benefit the city.
“I think it is very positive,” Mcllhaney said. “We were
very fortunate we had two winning proposals, profes
sional managements and quality hotels.”
Mcllhaney said her decision was based on choosing
development over redevelopment.
Barren Hobbs, general manager of the Hilton and
president of the Brazos Valley Hotel/ Motel Association,
said the council made the right decision to let the vot
ers decide if the city should have a new hotel and con
ference center.
“I think the city did the right thing,” Hobbs said.
Hobbs said he thinks the city should not have cho
sen a specific location but should have allowed the vot
ers to decide.
Hobbs said the two proposals are both good.
“They selected two quality developers,” Hobbs said.
“It’s a win-win situation for the city.”
Before voting on the hotel location, the city voted 5-
m
2 for a November referendum.
Mcllhaney said she has confidence in the city’svoli
“I believe the one thing that makes meproudofj
city is that if the voters are given all of the informal
they will inform themselves and make therightdi )lu
sion,” Mcllhaney said. pHM™
She said the city will begin negotiations with thell
Pen Creek group and that a decision will mostlikel
made within the next two months. A new feasibi
study will he conducted that is specific to the Wolf
Creek site. The study includes size measurements,
cation and a traffic study.
The voters will then know if they will be voting
the Wolf Pen Creek hotel and conference center. If
city does not reach an agreement with Wolf Pen Cb
the city will begin working with Leddy foraNorthg
hotel and conference center.
The Wolf Pen Creek proposal includes a
vice hotel, an office building and a conferencect
ter. The proposed location is at Dartmouth Street! 8sA<
Holleman Drive. Donal
'Hie city says it will commit no more than $6ml Stu
to the project.

Several performers have been
approached, but no confirmations
have been made, Thomas said.
This is the first year the fall
entertainment program will fea
ture musical performers. Comedi
ans Chris Rock, Bill Bellamy and
Joe Torry have been on the bill in
years past. Alpha Phi Alpha and the
MSC have co-sponsored such an
event for three of the last four fall
semesters, Thomas said.
Thomas said Alphapalooza will
demonstrate A&M’s efforts to pro
vide programs to African-Ameri
cans and other minorities.
“It does a lot for the image of Al
pha Phi Alpha, the MSC and the
University as a whole,” Thomas
said. “This is going to do a lot for
[minority student] recruitment,
and especially the way the Bryan
community sees the University.”
Whalum is scheduled to play
September 12 at a concert co
sponsored by Town Hall and the
MSC Black Awareness Committee.
This will be Whalum’s third perfor
mance at A&M.
LaSondra Carroll, BAG chair
and a junior journalism major, said
the Whalum concert is also part of
the MSC’s ongoing efforts to ex
tend cultural awareness to stu
dents and the community.
“It’s an opportunity to bridge
the gap between former students
and present students,” she said.
“Alphapalooza will be touching
more on the youth.”
BAG will also help sponsor
