                    SUPPORT ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUSES

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, Today I rise to recognize John K. 
Sheridan and Christopher A. Benson from the University of Missouri-
Columbia for their outstanding accomplishment as journalism students.
  The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and 
the subsequent American response has caused a huge upsurge in American 
patriotism. Flags are proudly flying everywhere from balconies and 
lapel pins. ``God Bless America'' is the spontaneous song of note in 
arenas, ballparks, and homes. The fervor is evident in all walks of 
society, not the least of which is the college campus.
  In my home State of Missouri, we have the world's first journalism 
school at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Recently, two of the top 
journalism students published articles in the Columbia Missourian, one 
calling for the reinstatement of the draft with universal service and 
the other criticizing Harvard University for refusing to reinstate ROTC 
on the Campus.
  I commend John K. Sheridan and Christopher A. Benson for their 
thoughtful and Intriguing commentary.
