Schuyler Houser said that with
out an overwhelming response
from students in support of
Bonfire, Bowen may decide that
student interest is insufficient
for the project to continue.
“It is so important that stu
dents really take this seriously”
Houser said.
Before voting, students will
have the opportunity to get
information and ask questions
about the Bonfire designs at

Brazos Valley Coalition for Life, asked fellow
board members at the December board meeting to
ban Planned Parenthood from the 2002 fair.
Worley told The Bryan-College Station Eagle
on Jan. 10 that he opposes any involvement of
Planned Parenthood in Bryan Schools.
“1 think we should definitely exclude Planned
Parenthood or anybody else who has. as a part of
their business, [a service) which does not lit into
the curriculum,” Worley said.
Smith maintains, however, that the cancellation
was an effort to save the Financially strained dis
trict from the $3,000 cost of the fair. The decision
that the fair be cancelled was not announced at the
December meeting because it was not slated in the
agenda, Smith said.
“The administration did make the decision
after last fall to not continue the Wellness Fair in
its current format,” Smith said.
For the past seven years the Wellness Fair has
