        TRIBUTE TO THE BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE HALL OF FAME RUN

                                 ______


                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 6, 1996

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the 18th Annual 
Bronx Community College Hall of Fame Run, a 10-kilometer race sponsored 
by Bronx Community College. This year's race will be held tomorrow 
starting from Bronx Community College in my congressional district of 
the South Bronx, New York.
  The Bronx Community College Hall of Fame Run was established in 1979 
under the leadership of former Bronx Community College president Dr. 
Roscoe C. Brown, Jr. and continues under the presidency of Dr. Leo A. 
Corbie. The race brings together runners of all ages from the five 
boroughs of New York City to compete in a wholesome community event.
  The run was named after the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, a 
national landmark established in 1900 to honor the achievements of men 
and women in science, the arts, humanities, business, and government. 
This beautiful landmark, designed by architect Stanford White, features 
a granite colonnade containing the bronze busts of 97 distinguished 
Americans.
  I have had the opportunity to participate in 15 of the 17 Bronx 
Community College Hall of Fame Runs and I am thrilled to be running in 
this year's race. The event, which was originally a 10-kilometer race, 
now includes a 10-kilometer walk and a 2-mile fitness walk.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the Bronx 
Community College Hall of Fame Run in its 18th year of uniting the 
community through healthy competition.
