TIPA is an importanty competition for Javelina journalists. Back in the 1960s and early 70s A&I used to dominate with wins in both The South Texan and the yearbook El Rancho. The El Rancho is gone. Too bad. I'm glad to see The South Texan is reviving the tradition. Congratulations.
Congratulations to the staff of The South Texan. Back in the olden days when we were Texas A&I we used to dominate this competition. The Javelina Journalists would show up and others would just say - "There's the competition." We'd beat them regularly and regularly placed in every competiton. Well done South Texan. Keep up the good work.
