CORRECTION
Wednesday's story "Dance professor dies in New York" misidentified the year that Lynn Bretz began working at the University. Bretz began working at the University in 1983.
Friday's article "The University's very own fight club" incorrectly identified Chris Clemmons, jui jitsu class instructor at the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center. The Kansan regrets this error.

Dollinger said the election was extremely close and that he was impressed by the winners' early commitment to their class.
The 26 candidates for freshmen Student Senate seats waited anxiously Wednesday night as Chief of Staff Aaron Dollinger announced the names of the five winners: Brandon Wiederholt, Brett Pollard, Patrick McCann, Alek Joyce and Steven Melton.
"Their job is to bring the freshman ideas to the forefront, because the freshmen are generally the most underrepresented," Dollinger said. "They've all done a really good job of showing that they're passionate about the freshman class."
With 1,726 total votes — three times the number of last year's freshman election — the five winners said they were excited to begin work as senators and that they were encouraged by the high voter turnout. "I think it speaks volumes about the freshman class
with the kind of voter turnout that we had," said Wiederholt, the top vote winner and a political science

Replacement senators:
Applications for replacement senators are due Sept. 17 by 5 p.m. in the Student Senate Office, Room 410 in the Kansas Union. Replacement senators will fill seats of former senators who have graduated, transferred, moved to the Student Executive Committee or are for other reasons are unable to serve.

Brett Pollard: political science major from Lewood (98 votes)
Patrick McCann: chemical engineer major from Overland Park (97)

Students must submit a declaration of candidacy and a $20 check written to Student Senate or a petition with 50 student signatures to be eligible as candidates.
The declaration of candidacy form, petition and election rules are available in the Student Senate office or online through the Student Senate website.
A five-member selection committee will interview and choose the replacement senators. Interviews will begin on Sept. 18 and the committee will notify the winners on Sept. 21. The winners will be announced to full senate the following night.
