                   TRIBUTE TO DR. SCOTT MASON ROULIER

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I rise to pay tribute to a 
great educator and a great Arkansan, Dr. Scott Mason Roulier. Dr. 
Roulier is being honored as the 2005 Arkansas Professor of the Year by 
the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council 
for Advancement and Support of Education, CASE.
  Dr. Roulier, Associate Professor of Political Science, is the 12th 
professor from Lyon College, in Batesville, AR, to receive this honor.
  This tribute is in recognition of Dr. Roulier's dedication and hard 
work in the areas of government and politics in laying the framework 
for our Arkansas undergraduate students to be successful in their 
careers. He is teaching his students the value of political action and 
involvement in current events as it relates to local, State and Federal 
government.
  Higher education is an essential element of any effort to prepare our 
workforce to meet the demands of today's global marketplace. I share 
Dr. Roulier's commitment to education and join him in encouraging more 
students in Arkansas and around our great Nation to pursue a college 
education.
  Congratulations, Dr. Roulier, and thank you for your dedication and 
contribution not only to Lyon College but also to shaping the minds of 
our future leaders.
