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:

That the members of the General Assembly commend the Southern Interscholastic Press Association (SIPA), its members, and officers, during its sixty-sixth annual convention and its nineteenth year under the sponsorship of the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of South Carolina.
