     THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY-ROSWELL

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I wish to recognize Eastern New 
Mexico University-Roswell for reaching its gold anniversary of 50 
years. When the branch was established 50 years ago, founders probably 
only dreamed it would still be thriving well into the 21st century.
  ENMU-R started out as Roswell Community College, only offering night 
classes 50 years ago. Through the last half century, they have 
continued to grow and expand into an established branch of Eastern New 
Mexico University. Most recently, they have opened an expansive housing 
complex with dormitory rooms as well as apartments for students. The 
university branch is adding program offerings every year. To date, they 
offer 70 different certificate and associate degrees. ENMU-R continues 
to be a great place to learn and experience the college life.
  To celebrate the anniversary, the university has planned several 
events throughout the fall. Events include free concerts, parades, 
festivals, and even a golf tournament, with the kick off event being a 
hot air balloon rally held in late August.
  I join with ENMU-R in celebrating this momentous milestone. I look 
forward to at least 50 more years of providing quality education to 
thousands of students.
 Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, I wish to encourage my 
colleagues to join Senator Isakson and me in support of the 2007 Senior 
League World Series Champions, the Senior League team of Cartersville, 
GA.
  On August 18, 2007, the Senior League team from Cartersville, GA, 
defeated the defending World Series champions of Falcon, Venezuela, by 
a score of 9 to 0 after Chris Huth pitched a complete game one-hitter. 
This victory concluded their impressive season with a record of 30 wins 
and only 2 losses.
  I would like to recognize the 14 young men of the Cartersville Senior 
League team individually for their great accomplishment: Garison 
Boston, Ben Bridges, Trey Dickson, Brad Green, Taylor Greene, Tyler 
Higgins, Chris Huth, Tyler Linn, Levi Mauldin, Colton Montgomery, Cole 
Payne, Zack Philliber, Hank Stewart, and Tyler Williams. Their manager 
Eric Stewart and coaches Jeff Payne and Mark Montgomery each deserve 
strong recognition for guiding these young players to victory.
  Moreover, I would be remiss if I did not recognize the teachers and 
students of these young men's schools, the fans who represented their 
community, and the State of Georgia for their enthusiasm and support.
  It is with great pride that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to 
the Cartersville Senior League team and their families. I am extremely 
proud of each of them and their accomplishments. I wish them great 
success in the future and urge my colleagues to join Senator Isakson 
and me in congratulating them on this great accomplishment.
