OIL offers students chance to practice politics before graduation Senior Writer

ne UCO student-operated organization will pull members from across Oklahoma into the capital building April 3 — 7 to experience and participate in a four-day mock state government. Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) is an organization dedicated to purging anxiety about the often overwhelming political system by walking students through the process of introducing legislation. Members take on the roles of Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidency, functioning together to pass and veto laws. "If you're interested in government, this will show you how it works. If you want to make it into politics, this will make it happen," said Shai Rasmussen, corporate communications sophomore. Rasmussen serves as recruitment chair and public relations officer for UCO's OIL chapter. "We go in community meetings, we go through all the motions a House of Representatives would. We sit in the chambers and debate

Like, 'hey, I voted for your bill, so..."' Rasmussen said. Through learning about how the government works by writing legislation and caucusing, OIL

members said they learn skills they can apply outside of politics. Vaughn said, "It's the best educational conference I've ever experienced. I have no desire to be a politician, but OIL has taught me how to make changes in my life and in the system. Should the desire for political change arise, I'll know how to go about doing it." •

SPORTS Cameron muscles past UCO women BY BRIAN HOSTETLER

Sports Editor

CO fought a tough fight, but in the end was no match for the taller and more physical Cameron Lady Aggies losing 63-52 Jan. 24. The shots wouldn't fall for the Bronchos all game as they put up a lowly 38.5 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from 3-point range. "We knew Cameron had a really good team coming in and they certainly proved it," UCO coach John Keely said. "They've got two big girls inside who caused people a lot of problems and they play great team defense. We had a hard time getting our shots off."

Cameron won its 12th game in a row and improved to 16-1 on the season. Tawni Meeks was a bright spot for the Bronchos with 5 assists, 4 steals and some great defensive pressure that kept the game close. Keri Smith led all scorers with 13 points and Ami Guffy added 11 including shooting only 1-7 from 3-point range. The Bronchos held a slim lead 23-21 with 6:29 left to play in the first half but ended up trailing from there on out. The loss was the Bronchos first at home on the season. UCO plays their next two games on the road, returning home Feb. 2 to play Midwestern State at 4 p.m. •

New Year Brings New Program to UCO

Student Support Services By Carla Wood With the new year underway, UCO is excited to introduce students, faculty and staff to their newly funded Student Support Services (SSS) program. Student Support Services is one of the programs under the TRIO umbrella of academic support programs funded by the U. S. Department of Education. This program joins two other TRIO programs currently hosted by the university. These programs are the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Scholars Program and Upward Bound. The SSS program targets undergraduate students who require additional support in academic and study skills.

Current funding will allow 150 students an opportunity to participate and take advantage of the program's many services, which are designed to foster college retention and increase graduation rates. Along with the new program and services are a few new faces and positions. Cheryl Murdock, formally the Program Coordinator for the McNair Scholars Program is the SSS Program Director. Carla Wood is the Retention Coordinator. Cheryl Lovett is the Academic Advisor and Janice Brown is the Administrative Assistant.

The Project Officer is Dr. Narasinga Rao, Dean of Research and Graduate Studies. The Student Support Services staff will be working in collaboration with many organizations, programs, and businesses on and off campus to provide opportunities for academic and cultural enhancement. The new Student Support Services program is located in Chambers Library 2" floor north, room 221. For more information stop by or call

Lawrence has starred in Broadway shows such as Saratoga,

Subways Are For Sleeping, Nightlife, I Do, I Do, and Kiss of the Spicier Woman. Lawrence has also gueststarred in television shows such as Sex and The City, Touched by An Angel, and Murder, She Wrote.
