The Trend

Just picture it.  That attractive co-worker finally asked you out and talk you into going to that great new restaurant in town.  That person forgot to inform you that they are royalty. Becoming snappy with the waiter, shaking half-empty glasses, and complaining about how dry the chicken is.  Halfway through the meal you’re more than ready to go home. And then that dreaded moment. Refusing to leave a tip. How embarrassing!

Mary Fallin, Governor of the State of Oklahoma signed an executive order, banning the use of tobacco on state property. This includes USAO. The order will go into full effect on July 6, giving the state six months to get rid of all tobacco, including smokeless tobacco, which has recently gained popularity. In Fallin’s January state of the union address, she added that the state Capitol’s smoking room will soon be converted to a fitness center.

      A bake sale, Magic tournament and basketball donation drive are among fundraising projects USAO’s Phi Lambda Chi fraternity is planning for the spring trimester. Phi Lambda Chi is a national Fraternity based out of Arkansas, so the Arkansas Children’s Hospital is the home hospital. It is also ranks just under St. Jude's among nonprofit hospitals in the country and Phi Lambda Chi has been donating there for several decades.
