College Station City Council Votes to Move College out of College Station
After a successful 5-2 vote on the controversial Restricted Occupancy Overlay in April, the College Station City Council is reportedly looking to further its agenda to remove students from College Station, Texas. The city council has proposed legislation to move the Texas A&M University campus in its entirety to neighboring Bryan, Texas.
The newest proposed legislation was put forward by Brian Douglas, a civil engineer and city council member who moved to the College Station area in 2019 for work. He quickly became involved in the community and began to oppose student activity in the legislative sphere. When asked about the success about the ROO vote, Douglas said, “College Station is a great town, and I quickly fell in love with this community when I first moved here. The only thing holding us back from becoming the next major city in Texas is the students.”
At this week’s city council meeting, Douglas laid out his proposal for the campus migration to a new location further north of town in Bryan. The plan was a comprehensive effort to relocate every structure and landmark to a nearly identically-sized plot of land by 2041. The proposed financing would come from tuition, federal grants, and additional taxes on AgShack 4×4’s. Douglas reportedly even offered to use his civil engineering experience and volunteered to oversee the entire process.
The “Put University In Bryan Enactment” was voted on this last Friday. Douglas was not able to garner enough votes to pass, with the final vote tallying at 3-4. However, another council member, Jennifer Donovan, said, “The vote is a step in the right direction. By the next election cycle, we should be able to finally remove the College from College Station.”

If there’s one thing the members of the Century Club know better than soliciting donations, it’s swinging. Regardless of age, gender, or income, these people are serious about cutting loose and swinging to their hearts’ content. And by swinging, we do mean swing sets. The Association’s master swinger, Century Swingers, is a pro at installing any type of swing: tree swings, rope swings, porch swings, sawhorse swings, you name it. Rumor has it he once went the full loop around a swing set, but we’ve yet to see it happen.
