In news, a Cherokee Nation District Court judge ruled on Feb. 1 that the tribe will keep, for now, its nine representative districts instead of switching to the Tribal Council’s plan of 15 districts. Judge Bart Fite issued the ruling exactly seven months after requiring the council to work with the CN Election Commission to establish voting districts.

In education, as high school seniors buckle down for the last leg of their high school career, many will apply for admission to college, financial aid, student loans and housing. This guide can help students and their parents who may not know where to start in the college process, which can be confusing and overwhelming.

In sports, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa is set to host the fifth annual Oklahoma State Championship of Poker in February. The 28-event series will run Feb. 11-22 and feature two huge events. The first is set for Feb. 13 and will be the No-Limit Hold ‘Em state championship with a $340 buy-in and a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
