                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Third 
College at the University of California at San Diego should be renamed 
    the ``Thurgood Marshall College'' in honor of Justice Thurgood 
                               Marshall.

Whereas the University of California through the authority of the Master Plan 
        for Higher Education is charged with educating the citizens of the State 
        of California;
Whereas the University of California maintains 8 campuses for the purpose of 
        offering Baccalaureate, Masters, Doctoral, as well as Professional 
        degrees;
Whereas the San Diego campus of the University of California System was created 
        in the early 1960s as the southern-most site for State-sponsored higher 
        education;
Whereas Third College on the University of California, San Diego, campus was 
        founded in 1970 to represent the higher academic achievement and the 
        best aspirations of the civil rights movement in this country;
Whereas Third College fulfills its charter philosophy to challenge students both 
        as scholars and citizens in a growing multicultural State and world;
Whereas the students of Third College take a set of general education 
        requirements that include mathematics, a social science sequence called 
        Dimensions of Culture, a course in the physical sciences, humanities, 
        and the arts;
Whereas Third College students receive academic credit for training and 
        placement as tutors and mentors in local inner-city elementary schools;
Whereas supporters of Third College have continually sought to find a more 
        meaningful name;
Whereas Associate Justice Thurgood Marshall's passing in January 1993, led to 
        enormous support for the University of California, San Diego, campus to 
        rename the Third College;
Whereas Thurgood Marshall will forever be known by the celebrated victory in 
        Brown v. Board of Education in 1954;
Whereas Thurgood Marshall's most important impact was initially in the area of 
        access to quality education; and
Whereas Thurgood Marshall is an icon which the University of California wishes 
        to have its students emulate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Third College at the University of California, San Diego, should be 
renamed as the ``Thurgood Marshall College''.
