OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Gov. Brad Henry appoints an Edmond attorney to the board of regents for Oklahoma State University. Andy Lester was named to the Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, which also governs Langston University, Conners State College, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and Oklahoma Panhandle State University.

Lester is a member of the Lester, Loving and Davies law firm. He holds a bachelor's degree from Duke University and a law degree from Georgetown University.

Lester will fill the regent position previously held by Oklahoma City banker Burns Hargis, who resigned in July to evaluate the possibility of serving as OSU's president.

Lester's appointment requires state Senate confirmation.
