Please, Chrys, please
forgive me. Take me
back. I miss you!
I forgive you,
Jake.
But I've done something
bad. I brought my Ex-
boyfriend to beat the
junk out of you. Will you
forgive me?
Of course! I'm
just glad to have
you back. He's
probably just a
little guy anyway.
Thor! What are you

Democrats did take solaci
Monday in delaying redistrict
ing legislation for so
which boosted party spirits and
raised the national profile of
Texas Democrats.
“We showed them that we
would not back down,”
Rep. 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.

“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.
