Dawnna Dukes, D-Austin, Fifty-one House Democrat: secretly traveled to Ardmore, Okla., in May for four days kill a redistricting bill. That attracted national attention forced Republicans to concede they couldn't accomplish redis tricting by the June 2 end of Ik regular legislative session In a first special session called by Republican Gov. Perry, Senate Democrats their power allowed by a “blocker bill” in place at the time to prevent a vote on redis tricting. The blocker bill, a Senate tradition, meant that any piece of legislation needed a two- thirds vote of the chamber before it could be brought up for consideration. Democrats had the numbers in the Senate to block redistricting. Women Continued from page 1 “We hope mentoring will provide sup port and guidance to young women in their first two years of college,” Bethman said. “The mentors also serve as female role mod els, something many of our applicants said they were seeking.” Kelly Kennedy, a graduate coordinator for the program and a mentor, said she believes this one-on-one relationship will be beneficial to students. “The level of insight gained from a mentor-mentee relationship is really invaluable,” Kennedy said. “Personally, I have had many mentors. In fact, I became involved with AWIL simply because I would not be where I am today without the guidance and support of these incredible individuals.” Kendra Stephens, a sophomore micro biology major, said she values the mentor- student relationship and thinks it will help her become successful in life. “AWIL will be beneficial to me because I will get to know a woman from the com munity who understands what I am going through,” Stephens said. “She is someone I can learn from and can get her perspective on her field of study and how she got where she is.” For women students to learn these lead ership skills, AWIL requires members to attend monthly leadership development pro grams, which are devoted to learning about topics relevant to women and leadership. “AWIL's monthly leadership programs will help the participants learn the skills nec essary to practice relational leadership, the model on which the AWIL program is based,” Bethman said. The program’s leadership event topics include women's leadership styles and image and participants can listen to a panel of women student leaders. The organization is in its first year anil has set ambitious goals for the future. AWIL aims to add a second-year program in which students who have completed the first year take a more active role in leading the program. In the long-term future, the Women's Center hopes to add a Women’s Leadership course to the University’s cur riculum. folum Vivek Gula don’s typic same son lati took ac radio show.
