_______________

*Managing general partner of CELP

     During the past five years, neither AFC or CELP nor, to the best 
of AFC's knowledge, any person named above (a) has been convicted in a 
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) 
or (b) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative 
body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or 
is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state 
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     On December 22, 1997, American Fidelity Assurance Company ("AFA") paid
a dividend consisting of 347,918 shares of common stock of Southwest Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Shares") to its sole shareholder, AFC.  AFC engaged in no other 
transactions in the stock during the prior 60 days.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

     AFC acquired the Shares through a dividend paid by its wholly-owned
subsidiary AFA.  Like AFA, AFC plans to increase its ownership of the issuer's
common stock to not more than 24.9% of the outstanding shares by purchasing 
additional stock in open market or, possibly, private transactions, based on
the market price of the stock relative to the overall profit and operating 
performance of the issuer. AFC has no present plans or proposals which relate 
to or would result in any of the following:

     o     An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, 
reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its 
subsidiaries;

     o     A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or 
any of its subsidiaries;

     o     Any change in the present board of directors or management of the 
issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of 
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

     o     Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy 
of the issuer; 

     o     Any other material change in the issuer's business or corporate 
structure;

     o     Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding 
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the 
issuer by any person;

     o     Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a 
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an 
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

     o     A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for 
termination of registration pursuant to Section (12)(g)(4) of the Act or

     o     Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  AFC beneficially owns 347,918 shares of the common stock of the 
issuer, which as of December 22, 1997 represented 9.19% of the 3,787,839 shares 
believed to be outstanding.

     (b)  AFC has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and the sole 
power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares.

     (c)  The only transaction in shares of the issuer by AFC effected since
October 23, 1997 was its acquisition of the Shares reported in Item 3 above.

     (d)  No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct 
the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of the Shares.

     (e)  Not applicable

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships 
(legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such 
persons and any person with respect to any securities of the issuer, including 
but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's 
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees 
of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of 
proxies. None of the issuer's securities owned by AFC are pledged or 
otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another 
person voting power or investment power over such securities.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

          None

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of the undersigned's knowledge 
and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this
