SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 669

	WHEREAS, Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science 
honor society, was founded in 1920 at The University of Texas 
at Austin, and since that time it has fostered outstanding 
programs and events of value for our nation's brightest 
students of government, public policy, and political science; 
and

	WHEREAS, The success of the first chapter in Austin 
led other universities across the United States to apply for 
chapters; today, there are more than 460 chapters of Pi Sigma 
Alpha in the United States, and the founding chapter in Austin, 
which has been honored in the past as the society's best chapter, 
remains a leader in Pi Sigma Alpha activities; and

	WHEREAS, In the 83 years since its inception, Pi Sigma 
Alpha has never wavered in its goal to stimulate scholarship and 
intelligent interest in political science, and the honor society 
has distinguished itself as an important advocate for preserving 
our nation's long history of successful participatory democracy; 
now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby commend the officers, members, and 
alumni of the Pi Sigma Alpha chapter at The University of Texas 
at Austin and extend to them warmest best wishes for continued 
success in their scholastic and professional endeavors; and, be 
it further

	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be 
prepared for Pi Sigma Alpha as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas Senate.
                                                                      Barrientos
