New regents chaii
aims to heal a
divided Baylor
WACO (AP) — The new
chairman of Baylor University’s
board of regents said he will aim
to heal the divide that has
formed between those who sup
port the university’s president
and others who believe he
should be replaced.
Will Davis, an Austin attor
ney who will take charge of the
board on Tuesday, said he sup
ports university President Robert
B. Sloan Jr.
However, Davis said he
would like Sloan to restore the
trust and collegiality between
the administration and (acuity.
“Both sides
have pretty well
personalized it,
and 1 can’t tell you
why,” he said in
Monday’s edi
tions of the Austin
American-
State s m a n .
‘‘Baylor is going
in different direc
tions, dealing with
some residual
heartbreak.
Reconciliation is
going to be diffi
cult, and it’s going
to take time.”
The regents
voted 18-17 in a
May executive ses
mantled a school alumni pni
gram he created that compete
with the Baylor
Association.
Sloan said he thinks Visi®
2012 enjoys the “overwhelni;
support” of regents and
“Ultimately what is a stake;
the future of Baylo
University,” Sloan said,
very determined to press on win
Baylor’s calling as an institute
of Christian learning.”
But the president tit
received two no-confident

Baylor is going

going to take time.
— Will Davis
new chairman of Baylor
board of regents
sion to keep Sloan, whose ambi
tious Vision 2012 strategic plan
for the university has divided the
campus for years.
Last year's slaying of bas
ketball player Patrick
Dennehy, firing of basketball
coach Dave Bliss and resigna
tion of Athletic Director Tom
Stanton have added to the
anguish at the world’s largest
Baptist university.
A special regent review com
mittee headed by Davis asked
Sloan in February to revise sev
eral policies related to Vision
2012, which calls for the restora
tion of the school’s Christian
image and an increased drive for
academic excellence.
The president has since aban
doned a controversial two-tier
faculty salary system and dis
and call

and the creation

Charles Weave
a faculty sena:

changes Sloan ha
made aren't enoug
to repair the dan
age he has caused.
“If you are sat

Texas Roadhouse chain
suing Texas bar for
trademark infringement
AUSTIN (AP) — Regulars at the True Blue Texas
Roadhouse say they're outraged that a Kentucky-based bar and
restaurant chain is suing their bar for using “Texas” and
“Roadhouse” in its name.
The Texas Roadhouse restaurant chain sued the La Vernia
bar and owner Douglas Bode last month in U.S. District Court
in Austin.
The Louisville, Ky.-based chain, which has 165 restaurantsia
30 states, contends the bar committed trademark infringement.
Bode said he came up with the name on a late-night drive
with friends. He researched the name with a clerk in Wilson
County and determined the name was available. The bar opened
two years ago.
“I am just trying to make a living. I don’t want to offend any
body,” Bode, a 38-year-old former curtain company production
manager, said in Sunday’s editions of the Austin American-
Statesman. "For God’s sake. I'm a Texas bar. Why can’t 1 use
that name?”
The chain’s attorney, Tom Walsh, wrote in the lawsuit that by
using the terms in his bar’s name, Bode “calculated to deceive
the relevant consuming public into accepting and purchasing
Bode’s services in the mistaken belief that they are Texas
Roadhouse’s services.”
Walsh said the corporation tried to reach an out-of court set
tlement with Bode.
“We attempted to negotiate in good faith for many months,"
Walsh said. “We believe that my client has superior rights to the
trademarks, and frankly, we believe we have a duty to protect our
intellectual property.”
The corporation has 24 franchises in Texas, including bar-
restaurants off major highways in Waco, San Antonio and
Killeen. The first restaurant opened in 1993 in Indiana.
The nearest Texas Roadhouse restaurant to the La Vernia bar
is about 20 miles away in Live Oak.
Austin lawyer Louis Pirkey, a past president of the American
Intellectual Property Law Association, said a geographical name
such as Texas would be protected by trademark law if it has “sig
nificant secondary meaning.”
Philadelphia Cream Cheese couldn't be changed to Bob’s
Philadelphia Cream Cheese, he said.
“The question is: Would consumers be likely to be confused
between the two names?” Pirkey said in Sunday’s online edition
of the Austin American-Statesmart. “Frequently a name can be
embedded in another name and still cause likely confusion.”
Regulars at the True Blue Texas Roadhouse say “Texas” and
“Roadhouse” are generic words that don’t belong to anyone.
