                   TRIBUTE TO BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 4, 2000

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, it is with joy that I once again pay 
tribute to Bronx Community College, which will hold its 22nd 
Anniversary Hall of Frame 10K Run on Saturday, May 6, 2000.
  The Hall of Frame 10K Run was founded in 1978 by Bronx Community 
College's third President, Dr. Roscoe C. Brown. Its mission is to 
highlight the Hall of Frame for Great Americans, a national institute 
dedicated to those who have helped make America great.
  The tradition continues under the stewardship of Dr. Carolyn G. 
Williams, the first female President of Bronx Community College. Dr. 
Williams has endorsed the race and will continue the tradition 
initiated by Dr. Brown to promote the physical fitness as well as to 
highlight higher educational opportunities.
  As one who has run the Hall of Frame 10K race, I can attest to the 
excitement it generates. The race brings the entire city together. It 
is a celebration and an affirmation of life. It is a wonderful way to 
enable over 400 people to run in the Bronx. It is an honor for me to 
join once again the hundreds of racers who will run along the Grand 
Concourse, University Avenue, and West 181 Street, and to savor the 
variety of their victories. There''s no better way to see the Bronx 
Community.
  For most of the past 22 years, Professor Henry A. Skinner has 
coordinated the Hall of Fame 10K race, a healthy competition which 
brings together runners of all ages from the greater Metropolitan area. 
This year he has passed the mantle to Robert Hill, assistant track and 
field coach at Bronx Community College.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
individuals and participants who are making the Bronx Community 
Colleges''s 22nd Annual Hall of Fame 10K run possible.
