                   TRIBUTE TO DR. FRANK GULIUZZA III

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROB BISHOP

                                of utah

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 4, 2004

  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to congratulate 
Dr. Frank Guliuzza III, a resident of Ogden, Utah, and a professor of 
political science at Weber State University, on his reception of the 
CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) Award for 
Teacher of the Year. I am pleased that the CASE organization recognized 
the caliber of Dr. Guliuzza as a professor and as a citizen.
  Dr. Guliuzza has an impressive record: he has published two books 
(American Government, American Ideals and Over the Wall: Protecting 
Religious Expression in the Public Square) and three more will be 
completed by 2005. He has served as the Chairman of the Department of 
Political Science and Philosophy at Weber State University since 2002 
and has taught courses including Constitutional Law, The Modern 
Presidency, and Constitutional Rights and Liberties. Earlier this year, 
Dr. Guliuzza was presented with Weber State University's most 
prestigious faculty honor: the John S. Hinckley Fellow award for 
excellence in teaching, service, and scholarship.
  Dr. Guliuzza is an asset to his university and community. He founded 
the Weber State university mock trial team in 1996 and, under his 
direction, Weber State has earned several top-ten finishes at national 
tournaments. Dr. Guliuzza ran for the United States Senate in 2000 and 
has served as a Chair of the Weber County Republican Party and Vice 
Chair of the Utah Republican Party. A licensed minister, Dr. Guliuzza 
has served in ecclesiastical positions at Calvary Baptist Church in 
Ogden, First Baptist Church in Brigham City, and Mountain View Baptist 
Church in Layton. He has served his fellow men at the most basic and 
important level. Dr. Guliuzza and his wife of 21 years, the former 
Kathy Spaulding, are the foster parents of two children, Matthew 
Williamson and Timothy Stoddard.
  Despite all of these awards, accomplishments and interests, Frank's 
true passion lies with teaching. As a former high school history 
teacher, I understand this purpose. And he is an excellent teacher, in 
the truest sense of the word. As Dr. Guliuzza said, ``One need not be 
prominent to be a great woman or man.'' Frank is a great teacher, one 
who guides his students, who enlightens, shapes and challenges them. He 
is also a great American, and I am pleased to recognize him on this 
occasion.
