Hilton Garden Inn to be Constructed on Mercer Campus

MACON, Ga. - Mercer University President and CEO R. Kirby Godsey announced today that the university has signed a letter of intent to construct a 101-room Hilton Garden Inn on the campus off Mercer University Drive, near I-75. The construction is the first step in the university’s redevelopment efforts to have Mercer University Drive become the main entrance to the campus.

“We are delighted with the prospect of adding this significant amenity to the campus,” said Godsey. “The hotel’s location, just off of I-75, will make it available to business and leisure travelers as well as provide housing for alumni and visitors attending special programs and athletic events and for parents of current and prospective students.”

After interviewing a number of prospective developers, Mercer selected PHD Hotels, formerly known as The Hotel Group, of Auburn, Ala., for the $10 million project. Construction will begin this spring, with the Inn expected to open in spring 2007. The upscale hotel will offer a restaurant and a small conference area. After construction, PHD Hotels will operate and manage the inn, with the university being an equity partner.

“We are thrilled to be involved with the University in building this hotel on campus, and we look forward to being part of the redevelopment plans for the campus,” said Tom Hunt, president and CEO of PHD Hotels.
“Being on campus is going to be a real benefit for the hotel as well as the university.”

The Mercer project is the fourth Hilton Garden Inn and the ninth hotel that PHD Hotels has constructed and operated. The company’s other Hilton Garden Inns are in Auburn, Montgomery and Huntsville, Ala. There are 270 Hilton Garden Inns across the nation.

Proof of Saddam's WMD

After an argument in my international conflict and security class today, I decided that the proof for the existence of Saddam’s WMD programs needed to be published in a constant place on this website. It will be forever linked on the left sidebar for easy access when you are arguing with the uninformed.

“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”—President Theodore Roosevelt

Show Update

This is just a reminder that The Jeff Scott Show will not be on the air today due to a meeting of the Student-Faculty Board of Appropriations.  I will return tomorrow with plenty of news to discuss.
