F ■' tiere are about 1,600 Native
I American students on campus.
± Of those, the vast majority are
in some way tied to a reservation. Either
they came directly from one or their
people currently live on one.
For the rest of OU students, a reserva-
tion is as unknown as a foreign country.
In a way, reservations are like separate
countries, but they are far from alien.

and it's the biggest reservation in the
state. Our town has two stores. The lum-

most of the money comes from. It really
is no different than a little town. People

Student Congress' Congressional Administration
Committee ruled an act appointing Chris Kannady as
general counsel out of order.
Asher Killian, chairman of the committee, said the
appointment was improper because Kannady was not
recommended by a majority of the special committee
formed to advise the UOSA presi-
dent on appointing the UOSA gen-
eral counsel.
At Sunday’s Graduate Student
Senate meeting, UOSA President
Mary Millben said she was given
two names by the committee, both
equally favored. Millben said she
decided to appoint Kannady
based on his qualifications.
The executive is bound by the
committee's recommendation for
general counsel, according to the
UOSA Code Annotated. The code
does not specify’ what the process
is for resolving a split vote.
Millben said she is consulting
Student Affairs for a solution to the setback.
"Because of this controversy , and because now con-
gress has denied the appointment that 1 have submit-
ted, I have talked with Clarke Stroud, the vice president
for Student Affairs. We are taking a different course of
action to make sure students are represented.” Millben
said.
Stroud said he is frustrated by the state of student
government and the lack of a general counsel.
“[Millbenl did what she thought was right in sub-
mitting her recommendation. She should continue to
work toward finding a candidate that will be accept-
able |to both housesj." Stroud said.
John Harris, GSS chairman, said he hopes to see the
position filled as soon as possible.
"The relevance of student government is decreasing
by the day until we get this resolved,” Harris said.
Amy Steele, who, with Kannady, was also recom-
mended by the committee, was ordered to vacate her
position as UOSA general counsel Sept. 29 after
