Whereas, student president of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, Robin Lesser, and her fellow student officers have continued a tradition of active, creative leadership during their positions for the 1990-91 school year; and
Whereas, SIPA chairman, Rik McNeill, and his SIPA Executive Committee have brought SIPA towards the conclusion of another successful year as a first-class scholastic organization by devoting time and talent to something they believe in; and
Whereas, Joseph Shoquist, who is to retire as SIPA director and Dean of the College in June, 1991, has brought SIPA five years of excellence in leadership; and
Whereas, the delegates to the sixty-sixth annual convention represent practitioners of quality scholastic journalism and, whether in the capacity as advisers or students, represent those in positions to make this world a better place for all; and
Whereas, by promoting interest in journalism among students, SIPA continues to fulfill its purpose; and
Whereas, SIPA is of invaluable assistance to young people in their future lives and careers, whether or not they go on to become professional journalists. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
