SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 260
	WHEREAS, The Texas Senate is proud to honor
The University of Texas at Dallas and the members of its
government honors program on the occasion of their visit to the
State Capitol on March 3, 2005; and
	WHEREAS, Since it first began admitting freshmen in 1990, 
The University of Texas at Dallas has consistently ranked among 
the highest in the nation and is in the top two in Texas in student
selectivity ratings and Scholastic Aptitude Test scores for 
incoming freshmen; the university has accomplished these 
impressive feats while also becoming the fastest growing selective
public institution of higher education in the Lone Star State; 
and
	WHEREAS, This exemplary university offers an innovative 
and progressive curriculum and currently grants more computer 
science degrees than any other institution of higher learning in 
the state; moreover, it has brought national recognition to the 
state through its success in academic competitions, including 
debate, chess, and college bowl; and
	WHEREAS, The school's government and politics program has 
won wide acclaim for its commitment to fostering interest in 
Texas politics and civic responsibility among the university's 
Collegium V Honors Program and McDermott Scholars Program 
through the Center for the Study of Texas Politics; and
	WHEREAS, The talented students who are currently studying 
Texas politics and leadership in the Texas Center program have 
demonstrated the impressive academic drive and commitment that 
is typical of students at the university, and it is indeed 
appropriate to honor these future leaders of the Lone Star State 
and The University of Texas at Dallas; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
79th Legislature, hereby commend The University of Texas at Dallas
for its outstanding efforts to educate our state's future leaders 
and extend an official welcome to Professor Greg Thielemann, 
director of the Center for the Study of Texas Politics, and to the 
honors students visiting on this day.
                                                                 Carona, Shapiro
