The Bryan-College Station
Chamber of Commerce’s board of
directors rejected the appeals of
Hope Pregnancy Center and
Planned Parenthood last week,
canceling the memberships of
both organizations.
The chamber canceled the
memberships of Brazos Valley
Coalition for Life (BVCL), Hope Cri
sis Pregnancy Center and Planned
Parenthood in December, after
controversy erupted over a ribbon
cutting ceremony for Planned Par
enthood’s new facility, the ser
vices of which will include
abortions.
BVCL started a campaign op
posing the ceremony, which led to
70 chamber members inundating
the chamber with faxes and
phone calls.
Planned Parenthood withdrew
the request for a ceremony, but
shortly afterwards, the chamber
adopted a resolution canceling
the memberships of all three or
ganizations.
BVCL chose not to appeal the
chamber’s decision.
Executive director of Hope
Pregnancy Center Sherry Paul
said the center will make no fur
ther attempt to fight the cham
ber’s ruling.
“We were very surprised and
disappointed,” she said. “We are
not going to go any further with it."
5:30 to 6:30.
After serving the students, the ad
ministrators will dine with them and
offer them an opportunity to discuss
topics of interest.
The event will be done each se
mester at one of the four on-campus
dining facilities.

Scholarly studies in the humani
ties have been given a boost at
Texas A&M University with the es
tablishment of the Center tor Hu
manities Research.
The center will be part of the Col
lege of Liberal Arts and will foster
scholarship in literature, history, text
editing, philosophy, literary theory,
languages, folklore, film studies and
the arts.
The Board of Regents of The
Texas A&M University System af>-
proved the proposal for the center
during its Friday (Jan. 29) meeting.
“The Board of Regents’ vote for
the Center for Humanities Research
is a positive statement about our
leaders’ desire to develop Texas
A&M into a nationally recognized uni
versity,” Woodrow Jones Jr., dean of
the College of Liberal Arts, said. “The
College of Liberal Arts is excited
about the role it will play in moving
the university toward the goals cited
in Vision 2020.”
The Center for Humanities Re
search will be a first of its kind at
A&M, although many universities
across the nation already have cen
ters or institutes devoted to the study
of humanities.
Informally, several A&M scholars
have participated in humanities re
search with the University’s Interdis
ciplinary Group for Humanities Stud
ies (IGHS) or on an individual basis.
The center will build upon the
IGHS foundation and individual re
search to provide a comprehensive
location and organization that will
help create and fund increased re
search in the humanities.
An example of recent
search topics of humanfe
at A&M include thecf j
Queen Victoria: America'
of the sea; censorshipa
ater; the impact of tec"
writers and audiences;^)
and the makingofcowbc
science literature; Scr
rhetoric; blindness in I
film; and the Holocaust
