Oklahoma's First Lady announces release of book, Our Governors' Mansions
By Sandi Craig Managing Editor F irst Lady Cathy Keating announced the publication of her new book at the first Oklahoma Summit held Nov. 12 at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond.
During a personal interview the First Lady discussed her new book, Our Governors' Mansions, while at UCO for the two-day conference. "It's a book where Architectural Digest meets People magazine," she said. "It's a fun read—it's not a cut and dried history book. It's filled with anecdotes, historical facts and architecture design."
Keating said she organized the gathering of all the information and history of each mansion while working with first ladies or first spouses in every state to secure photographers to photograph each of the mansions. "We did this by mail, by phone, by fax machines, and every way imaginable," she said. "There are over 300 color photographs, with eight pages designated to each state with mansions," she said.
Keating said there are six states which don't have mansions, and the book tells why. "It's a book where, between the covers, you can have the commonality of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War II. You have the echoes of footsteps of runaway slaves, ghosts and presidents," she said.
Keating said she was surprised about how each house is different, and she thought the mansions would have the feeling of being a federal mansion similar to the White House.
The mansions represent their locale and region, and each one offers something different that is unique to that particular mansion, she said. "Our Governors' Mansions" is available in bookstores nationwide.
Law expo to help students interested in legal profession
Oklahoma students interested in pursuing a law degree are invited to attend the Law Expo `97, hosted by UCO's department of political science,9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Nov. 22 in the Liberal Arts Building.
The Law Expo provides students an opportunity to visit with law school representatives and professors from Oklahoma's three law schools and law schools from around the U.S.
UCO does not provide a law degree program but does provide political science in pre-law courses intended to develop the critical and logical thinking skills required for studies in law, said Dr. Cris Markwood, assistant dean and assistant professor of political science. "Law Expo is an outstanding program which will benefit any person considering law school. I recommend it without reservation," said Robert Richardson, associate dean for External Affairs at the University of Oklahoma.
Workshops will provide information on law school admissions, financial aid, tips on taking the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and other special programs in law school, said Markwood.
Registration for Law Expo '97 is free. Advanced registration is requested. A free continental breakfast and lunch will be provided for students who attend.
Law Expo is being co-sponsored by the pre-law Society of UCO. The Pre-Law club was founded in the fall of 1970. Membership is open to any student with 12 or more credit hours who is planning to attend law school or is interested in any phase of the law.
