Long-proposed hotel and conference center reaching completion A&M offers new facilities through public-private partnership By Anthony Pangonas @apangonas Opening next fall in time for the beginning of the 2018 football season, the Doug Pitcock ‘49 Hotel and Conference Center looks to provide visitors to Aggieland with a hotel a few feet away from Kyle Field and over 35,000 square feet of space for meetings and events. Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Phillip Ray said through public-private partnerships (P3), the creation of the conference center became a reality without the university or system providing the funding. Ray traced the idea of a hotel and convention center back to before the current Texas A&M University system chancellor took office in 2011. “The hotel-conference center has a long history and it was before Chancellor [John] Sharp was with the system,” Ray said. “[Former University President] Bowen Loftin had expressed an interest in building a conference center on campus. He came to the chancellor at the time, [Michael McKinney], for money, but neither the university or system could fund the idea at that point.” Ray said after the Kyle Field reconstruction was completed, discussions of a hotel began again. The university came back around to the idea and it was pushed forward through the use of a P3. Used for almost 30 projects at A&M already, Ray said the idea of the P3 system consists of the university leasing the land where a project is being worked on to an outside developer. The developer then goes to get the funding for the project in conjunction with the university, and creates a project that meets the standards and expectations the university sets. The private company receives an amount of money designated by the deal made with the university and after the lease is up, the building ownership returns to A&M and the university can choose to stay with the company or change how they handle the project. The hotel portion of the facility was pro-

posed as a way to generate revenue for the conference center’s construction, Ray said. “We’ve had experience with [P3], and you’ve seen things like Century Square, U Centre at Northgate, Easterwood Airport,” Ray said. “We’ve done close to 30 of these now, but at the time we were exploring any opportunities to accommodate a need. So the thought came up that we need a revenue generator to pay for this because we don’t want to use any student fees, we don’t want to use any money that would originally go to the university. So the thought came up for a hotel.” According to Ray, the system has seen many misconceptions when it comes to funding for the new facility. Through the construction of the two buildings together, Ray said, the conference center can be funded with the revenue from the hotel and no funding

comes from the students or university itself. Other universities including Virginia Tech, UCLA and LSU also use this model, and Ray said the excess revenue goes directly back to the campus after the hotel is funded. Alex Cabanas, Class of 1998, is the CEO of Benchmark Hospitality, the company running the upcoming hotel and conference center. He said his company has been in talks with the university to act on the idea of the facility since the 1980s. “We started working with a past team and when I met with Phillip Ray, I had in my hands a typewritten letter, on Benchmark letterhead, from 1987 talking about a hotel and conference center on the campus,” Cabanas said. “We’ve been interested in doing this for a long time so it’s interesting to see it come to fruition.”

Cabanas said his company has worked on hotel and conference centers at college campuses across the nation with roughly the same product type, though each facility is unique for their particular university. “We’ve done a lot of hotels similar to this, so we understand what is needed for this,” Cabanas said. “This is going to be unique because I see this as being ‘the guesthouse’ of the university. We can’t be the living room of the university becuase that is taken [by the MSC], but we are the guesthouse and we look forward to hosting any and all constituents, alumni, students, parents, companies that are in the area that come to the university.” Laylan Copelin, vice chancellor of MarketHOTEL ON PG. 4

Female candidates hit record numbers in elections

Approximately 20% of both the United States House of Representatives and Senate are made up of females.

Aggie professors discuss political landscape for female campaigns at both local and national level By Jordan Burnham @RJordanBurnham Women are set to run in 2018 elections in higher numbers than ever before, and the trend has surfaced both at the national level and at the local level in Texas. The recent primary elections in Texas have shown that record numbers of women have begun running for office. Why this trend has emerged is debatable, and whether female candidates will gain success against their male counterparts or unseat incumbents is worth analyzing. Currently in the United States Congress, women make up 22 percent of the Senate and 19 percent of the House of Representatives, according to the Rutgers Center for American Women and Politics. In Texas, a similar number of women are represented, with a legislature composed of 20.4 percent females, according to data published by the National Conference of State Legislators. Associate professor of political science Diana O’Brien said the problem of female underrepresentation in U.S. politics comes in

two parts: supply and demand. “Research suggests that even the most qualified women are less likely to aspire to elected office, in part because they perceive themselves as less qualified and view qualifications as especially important,” O’Brien said. Women also face challenges when it comes to the desire of voters and party to support female candidates, according to O’Brien. “Work by Sarah Fulton, a political science professor here at A&M, suggests some voter bias against female candidates, which is primarily concentrated among independent male voters,” O’Brien said. Data published in an NPR article shows the number of women running for Congressional office has doubled since elections in 2016. Texas mirrors the national trend, as 50 women run for Congressional seats and 110 women for local office, according to an article published by Fortune. Female candidates are mobilizing for various reasons, but it does beg the question of whether the Trump administration has been a part of this response. Professor of political science Maria Escobar-Lemmon said there are several factors causing women to run. ELECTIONS ON PG. 2

Celebrating the world in Aggieland International Student Association hosts week of events about cultural awareness By Kathryn Whitlock @Kathryn-whitloc8 From henna to fashion shows, the Texas A&M International Student Association (ISA) is spreading cultural awareness across campus all week. Beginning on April 2, International Week 2018 will consist of a series of events that aim to achieve ISA’s goal: to identify and represent international students’ interests. To start the week, there will be cultural student-led organizations presenting the traditions and history of their countries via photos and other representative cultural items in Rudder Plaza and the 12th Man Hall. Fatima Wood, international studies and English junior, is the ISA vice president of operations and said I-Exhibit is a competition to motivate students to push past the concept of first place and focus on relaying their culture to the crowd. “This is the time for cultural organizations to show the public what makes their culture unique,” Wood said. “It’s a really awesome opportunity for domestic and international students alike to be able to see just how much of a melting pot A&M really is. I think a lot of students, including myself, can take for granted how big and wellknown the university is, but this prestige is what draws academics from all over the world to come study or work with us.” Monday’s events will feature an I-Dinner, in which attendees can taste rich cultural recipes. International caterers from the Bryan-College Station area will provide food items such as Chinese, Mexican, Middle Eastern and Mongolian from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the MSC Courtyard. Tickets are $10 from the MSC Box Office before the event and $12 at the door. Students trained in the ancient art of henna will draw a temporary tattoo of choice for $5 a hand or $7 an extension up the arm, on April 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Rudder Plaza. According to Riya Santra, computer science junior, henna is a dye that has been used since ancient times in India, Pakistan, the Middle East and Africa to embellish the body temporarily. “Nowadays, it is used to create bridal or ceremonial body art,” Santra said. “The dye takes up to an hour to dry and usually lasts for a couple of weeks before fading. I encourage people to come out to Rudder Plaza to see how it is applied. Even if they are not sure if they want it, it will still be a great experience watching the intricacies of the designs being ap-

plied to the body.” During the I-Fashion and Talent Show, students will wear traditional costumes from various cultures, and showcase their talent through performances like dancing or singing from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Rudder Forum on April 15. Danielle Lipsey, accounting junior, is the president of ISA and said she grew up in a military family, which allowed her to live in cities around the world and gain a passion for exploring cultures. “I am most excited for I-Fashion and Talent Show,” Lipsey said. “Last year, there were so many beautiful, traditional clothes and amazing performances. The groups are always so

diverse and it is cool to see how culture affects the clothing and performances of individuals from a country.” For the duration of International Week 2018, ISA will sponsor I-Cause, which is an annual charity campaign. According to Lipsey, ISA is collaborating with the Puerto Rican Student Association (PRSA.) ISA and the PRSA are collecting donations for a Puerto Rican School damaged by hurricanes, and a family, who was relocated to the Brazos Valley post-hurricane.

member since Republican Kay Granger joined the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996. With the onset of so many female candidates in the primaries, this may soon change. El Paso County Judge Veronica Escobar and State Sen. Sylvia Garcia are two primary winners who are likely to win their elections for U.S. House of Representatives in the fall. If they succeed, they will become two of the first new women to represent Texas in Congress in 22 years and will likely be joined by

others, according to an article published in The Texas Tribune. O’Brien said when focusing on Texas elections, having women running in record numbers is important. “Women’s representation is very low in Texas and I think Texas politics is very important,” O’Brien said. “Texas is too male, so getting women into politics in Texas is especially important.”

ELECTIONS CONTINUED “I think we’re also seeing in general with the whole #MeToo campaign, more and more women are speaking out against sexual harassment,” Escobar-Lemmon said. “The extent to which that movement has gained traction, I think women are feeling more empowered generally. So I don’t know that the Trump presidency is the only thing driving this.” According to an article published in The Texas Tribune, Texas’ representation in Congress has not gained a new female

HOTEL CONTINUED -ting and Communications for the Texas A&M University System, said the increase in available space can draw in new companies and conferences, increasing academic and career opportunities for students. After the hotel opens up, Ray said the hotel and conference center will allow for meeting spaces for everyday use by student groups as well as potential future hotel management programs and internships. “As part of the design process, students have been front and center because ultimately, we educate students here,” Ray said. “A lot of people miss that this is a collaboration between the MSC too. Go try to book a room there and you are going to have a hard time. We believe that there will be space here available to the public to use. We have conversations going on for corporations to come recruit here, have hotel hospitality programs for students and internships available. Those

ideas are being bounced around.” Other campus construction includes two projects funded by the university: the upcoming 21st century classroom being designed now and the student services building, which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2020. Ray said while these campus improvements cost a lot, utilizing public private partnerships for facilities such as the hotel and adjacent parking garage help keep the overall direct cost of campus development down. “If you add all these improvements up, you’re talking over $300 million of improvements that directly benefit students, but it’s not $300 million that came directly out of A&M’s budget,” Ray said. “I think having a four-diamond quality hotel and conference center on campus like a few other campuses have, I think it helps us. It’s that Aggie excellence that we are looking for. If we do it, we are going to do it the best.”

Required pet tags offer peace of mind Humane society encourages owners to comply with county ordinance By Nileh Irsan @nilirsan Residents of Brazos County are required by law to have their small pets tagged. The tags come with a host of benefits for pets and pet owners. According to cstx.gov, the county tag required for dogs, cats and ferrets will provide owners with a 24-hour phone line for lost and found pets, annual reminders to renew, free rides to the vet for lost and injured pets, emergency vet fees of up to $500, reduced impoundment fees and extended impoundment. “We see a huge intake of animals who got scared, run out the back, and end up here,” said Darby Kolle, communication specialist for Aggieland Humane Society. “If they have a county tag, after animal control picks them up, they can immediately take them home and they wouldn’t even have to come to us. There is no impound fee. [Tags] just save money all around.” The tags cost $15 annually and can only be obtained if the owner can show proof of rabies vaccine for their pets. According to the Aggieland Humane Society website, if a lost animal has a county tag, they will be held for 10 days before be-

ing put up for adoption, as opposed to stray animals who are not tagged and are only held for three days. “We do county tags [at Aggieland Humane Society] and also some vets in the area provide them, but not all vets do,” Kolle said. “You could happen to adopt an animal, take it to the vet, and never once hear about a county tag. That is very possible.” Kolle recommends pet owners get both a microchip and a county tag because of all the benefits that come with having the latter. Alan Velazquez, civil engineering senior, said he is going to get his pet tagged now that he knows about the county tag ordinance. “I would get my pet tagged because it’s a good idea for a small amount of money, Velazquez said. “It would let me know where my pet is at and reduce the stray animals on the streets which would also reduce the number of pets getting run over. I think that the option [to tag] is a smart option.” Julianne Burkhalter, supervisor at the Bryan Animal Center, said the local tag is helpful in reuniting pets with their owners. “Bryan Animal Control turned over in the field just under 600 animals in 2017 for various reasons from county tags, rabies tags, individual owner tags, microchips, etc.,” Burkhalter said. “Through a variety of measures, we were able to get these animals home without ever having to enter the animal shelter, which is a wonderful thing.”
