             LOYOLA CHICAGO RAMBLERS REACH NCAA FINAL FOUR

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Loyola 
University Chicago Ramblers on their roller coaster dance to the Final 
Four at this year's men's basketball NCAA tournament.
  This is an incredible team, boasting players who showed great skill 
on the court and hard work studying off the court.
  No one can forget Sister Jean, who was a centerpiece of Loyola's 
Cinderella story. Her selflessness, service to others, and love for the 
Loyola men's basketball team gave the Nation hope and joy throughout 
the tournament. At 98, Sister Jean has never

tired. And it was clear she was having the time of her life.
  Loyola Chicago is dedicated to training students to be ``men and 
women for others'' and to lead extraordinary lives. It is a class act 
basketball program which has embodied sportsmanship ever since 1963, 
when it became the only Illinois school to win the NCAA tournament, and 
still is.
  It is an honor to represent Loyola's Retreat and Ecology campus in 
Woodstock, and I enjoyed cheering on the Ramblers during this amazing 
ride.
  I wish all the best to the Loyola Chicago men's basketball team, and 
I hope to see Sister Jean dance with them again next March.
  Congratulations, Ramblers.
