The new senators are Christian Lutz and Brian Hanks, graduate senators; Jesse Kibort, off-campus senator; Katie Holman and Dallas Rakestraw, Nunemaker senators; and Christina Kamm, business senator.

Battle of marching bands to occur Haskell Stadium
If the sound of music is in the air and Lawrence seems little more crowded tomorrow, it's because more than 3,700 musicians from 29 high school bands will march in the eighth annual Heart of America Marching Festival from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Haskell Indian Nations University Stadium.
The festival, sponsored by the University of Kansas Bands, welcomes high school students to compete against one another after working all season long to perfect their routines.
Tom Stidham, associate professor of music and dance, said the festival was something for which every band intensely prepared for.
"Most high school bands do the same halftime show every single game," Stidham said. "They're working toward perfecting their show for the festivals."
Bands will perform in 15-minute intervals until 5 p.m., when the KU Marching Jayhawks make an exhibition performance. An awards ceremony will follow.

For women looking to relive stress caused by midterms and learn how to defend themselves in the process, the Panhellenic Association and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center have the answer.
Tomorrow from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., instructor Steven Flueck will lead a workout class with moves and drills similar to those of the popular Tae-Bo workout.
Self-defense workout is offered at Robinson
Christie Garton, Olathe junior and Panhellenic vice president of risk management, said the classes would also feature 15 minutes of self-defense moves toward the end of the hour.
Garton said attendees were encouraged to bring a $5 donation that would go toward R.A.I.N.N., Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.
The class, which began last week,
will continue to meet every week
except Nov. 27 because of
Thanksgiving Break.
Lillian Ruggles, Wichita senior, was one of the three people who attended last week's session. She said the focus of the class was more on self-defense than aerobics.
"We hope people will come for more than one week," Garton said. "The classes build on each other."
"We learned different kicks and punches," she said. "I thought it would be more aerobic like kickboxing, but we ended up learning a lot of good self-defense techniques."
Women interested in attending tomorrow's workout should meet at the second floor blue gymnasium in Robinson Center.

FEMA buyout to help relocate flood victims
RALEIGH, N.C. — In what might be the biggest program of its kind, state and federal officials expect to spend up to $600 million buying properties and relocating people out of the path of future catastrophic floods such as the one spawned by Hurricane Floyd.
homes have been reported uninhabitable because of the flooding, and 6,344 of them have been described as destroyed by their owners.
"We want to help North Carolinians rebuild. And we want to help them rebuild out of ham's way — out of the flood plain," said John Copenhaver, regional director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Atlanta.
NATION
People whose properties are approved for the buyouts will be offered fair-market, pre-flood values for their properties, said Gavin Smith, the state's disaster mitigation director.
"FEMA has done buyouts before. But this buyout is designed to be faster and larger in scope than any others."
Eric Tolbert, state emergency management director, said the buyouts were expected to cost $500 million to $600 million.
Under the program, buyout applications will be made by local communities, and not individual property owners, who must contact local officials if they wish to participate.
CBS medical drama breaks language barrier
NEW YORK — CBS's Chicago Hope medical drama broke an obscurity barrier for network television last night with actor Mark Harmon's use of a common barnyard epithet.
narmon, as physician Jack McNeil, is hauled before a medical review board to explain why a promising teen-aged baseball pitcher had to have his arm amputated when an infection set in following a series of operations.
The plan is expected to surpass the 8,000 buyouts that followed Hurricane Fran in 1996. Tolbert said that 15,280
'Shit happens,' Harmon said. Because producers felt strongly that the word was important for artistic truthfulness, CBS chose to support them, said representative Chris Ender.
"Shit happens," Harmon said.
"Clearly this is not something happening on a weekly basis," he said. "This is an isolated incident. It's not a sign or a signal that CBS is loosening its standards."
CBS is, in fact, taking special steps to respond to any of its more than 200 affiliates who may be concerned about offending viewers, he said. The network fed the video to affiliates yesterday afternoon, instead of live last night, to give the local stations the option of masking the word, he said.

U.S. jets bomb targets after Iraqi missile fire
ANKARA, Turkey — U.S. jets patrolling the nofly zone over northern Iraq bombed installations yesterday after being targeted by Iraqi missiles, the U.S. military said.
The planes bombed a number of Iraqi targets near the city of Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad.
The attack came after the Iraqi forces fired surface-to-air missiles on the jets from launchers east of Mosul, the statement said.
U. S. and British planes have been patrolling no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq since the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The zones were set up to protect Kurdish and Shiite minorities from the forces of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
All of the planes, based in Incitlik air base in southern Turkey, left the no-fly zone safely.

Nude trespasser case hears victims' sides

Two female KU students testified yesterday in the preliminary hearing for the 19-year-old man who is accused of entering their homes and walking around naked.
The victims were two of seven witnesses who testified at the four-hour hearing at Division V of the Douglas County District Court.
Defendant William A. Morris, Danville, Ala., freshman, faces four charges stemming from the two events.
The first case is a result of events on July 19. Police say that Morris entered a house at the 1600 block of 22nd Terrace. The alleged victim testified that she woke to the naked defendant performing oral sex on her, prompting a charge of aggravated criminal sodomy in addition to a second charge of aggravated burglary.
The second case dates back to Sept. 11, when police say he entered a house at the 1200 block of Tennessee Street, walked around naked and knelt beside a resident's bed, resulting in one charge of aggravated burglary and one charge of attempted sexual battery.
Morris was apprehended by Lawrence police at 3 a.m. Sept. 11, shortly after he left the house in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street. The victim identified him, and Morris eventually confessed, police said.
As the investigation continued that weekend, Morris was linked to other "naked prowler" cases.
During his testimony, Detective John Lewis said he went to Morris' residence Sept. 13 and brought him to the station for further questioning. At that time, Morris confessed to the events on July 19. Lewis said the defendant said he experienced an adrenaline rush from exhibitionism.
"He said he had an erotic feeling "being in close proximity to a woman when he was naked," Lewis said.
In their closing arguments, the prosecution and the defense argued about Morris's intent in the Sept. 11 episode.
Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson, prosecutor for the case, said the intent for the first case could be derived from the confession and facts of the second.
Harry Warren, Morris' attorney, said such reasoning was conjecture.
"Just the fact that there was a touch in one case requires the court to build an assumption upon an assumption," Warren said.
Wilson said the prosecution planned a motion to try the cases together.
Morris entered a not guilty plea for all charges in both cases. A trial date was set for 9 a.m. Dec. 6 at the Division V courtroom.
