Texas Intercollegiate Press Association

This was TIPA's 100 year anniversary--the organization started with a meeting at Baylor University in 1909. This year it was at the Sheraton in downtown Dallas. The 'under construction' Sheraton. Where some meetings were on the 3rd Floor and some were on the 37th--with only three elevators to get the hundreds of folks up there--and some were across the road.

I've been involved with so many different organizations that I have avoided getting involved with TIPA through my years of university teaching. Plus, I've taught more within broadcast programs and TIPA started as, and continues to lean toward, the newspaper world.

(I'll add more to this later)
