A wave of screaming praise followed the KU mens basketball team down Massachusetts Street Sunday as an estimated 40,000 fans from all over the country showed up at a parade to honor the 2008 NCAA National Champions. The basketball players threw up countless high fives as the train of convertibles they rode in inched its way through the crowded sea of blue shirts that came to commemorate the Jayhawks for their terrific season. The Marching Jayhawks and Spirit Squad led the parade. The basketball coaches followed, then the players. Junior guard Mario Chalmers, whose final shot in regulation against Memphis tied the championship game, received the loudest ovation from fans. Senior guard Russell Robinson lifted the NCAA Championship plaque high above his head as he passed by the cheering masses. It took more than 22 minutes for them to travel just three blocks from Seventh Street to 10th Street. The parade ultimately ended at 19th and Naismith streets. Chalmers said it was a great feeling to see all the fans. We really appreciate all the support, he said. It was assistant basketball coach Danny Mannings second time in 20 years being in a Jayhawk championship parade. When asked how it felt, he said, Are you serious? You cant be serious. Its great. Its awesome. Its whatever you want to insert to make me sound like the happiest man alive. Downtown Lawrence was a constant pep rally all day as Rock Chalk chants and songs periodically erupted from the crowd.

Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur gives fans high-fives during yesterdays parade down Massachussets Street to celebrate the Jayhawks 2008 NCAA Championship victory. Arthur scored a team-high 20 points in the 75-68 victory against Memphis in the championship game last week. Most fans in the crowd wore Jayhawk apparel, and even a few dogs sported Kansas jerseys. Aaron Schuster, Andover junior, said the atmosphere was a lot different from Monday when the Jayhawks beat Memphis for the championship. Its definitely a lot more family-oriented, he said. It was a lot more planned out, so its not quite as nuts. Paul Schapker, Prairie Village junior who plays the snare drum in the KU band, said he couldnt be happier to march in the parade. Its like a dream come true playing in the championship parade, he said. Im proud of the team and coach Bill, and Im glad hes sticking around. And if he ever wants his own private parade to get from his car to the fieldhouse or wherever he might be headed, well be there. The parade also gave business owners on Massachusetts Street another reason to celebrate. Many fans filled stores along the street that sold Jayhawk merchandise. Jocks Nitch, 837 Massachusetts, was filled with fans waiting to buy Jayhawk gear, even during the parade. Today has been insanely busy, said Ryan Owens, Jocks Nitch manager. For the first time ever, we had to limit the numcountry to celebrate the 2008 championship. Josh Talbott, 1953 graduate, came to watch the parade with his grandson, who he said attended the University of Kansas. Talbott said he had been a Kansas fan since 1948. That was when we got beat by Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl because we fumbled the ball on the one-yard-line with one minute to go, he said. For all the close losses weve had over the years, this year was our time to win. Jason and Katie Gorman, both 2001 Kansas alumni, said they thought it was the Jayhawks destiny to win. I was here in 88, so its really cool to be back here again, Katie Gorman said. Lawrence resident Gary Grob said that this years parade was better than the championship parade in 1988. It was the greatest thing to ever happen to Lawrence, Kansas, Grob said. I wish it wouldve been bigger, but thats okay. Grob and his family sat in the back of his truck, which was parked on Massachusetts Street. Grob said his family parked the truck there at 4 p.m. Saturday to get the prime spot.

He said the rush at the store started around 10 a.m. Were in the perfect location for something like this, Owens said. So many people are here from out of town, and theyre checking out the store. Deputy Sheriff Jay Armbrister said the atmosphere brought back memories from when the Jayhawks won the championship in 1988 when he was 12 years old. He said that people causing trouble were the last thing on his mind. Were KU fans; we dont cause trouble, he said. Were used to winning. KU alumni traveled from all over the

NAIROBI, Kenya President Mwai Kibaki named opposition leader Raila Odinga as prime minister Sunday, implementing a longawaited power-sharing deal aimed at resolving a political crisis that left more than 1,000 people dead. The deal signed more than a month ago marks the first time Kenya will have both a president and prime minister. But the working relationship between Kibaki
On Sunday, Kibaki announced the new Cabinet with the 40 ministries split equally between his Party of National Unity and its allied parties and Odingas Orange Democratic Movement. Kibaki made the announcement a day after holding closed-door talks with Odinga. Legally, the coalition will last until either the current parliaments term ends in 2012 or a new constitution to be negotiated in the next 12 months is enacted.
But the focus will be on Kibakis and Odingas working relationship. Either side can end the new partnership at any time. When Kibaki was hurriedly sworn in as president after the disputed December election, Odinga accused him of stealing the vote. Until they signed the peace deal in February, the opposition leader refused to recognize Kibaki as president. Kibaki, for his part, declined early in negotiations to share any power with Odinga.

Mario Chalmers was a write-in candidate for more than half of the categories of senators. Here are how many votes he got for each position. President Freshman/ Sophomore CLAS 10 votes: Off-Campus 4 votes: Residential 3 votes: Junior/ Senior CLAS 2 votes: Engineering, Graduate, and Journalism 1 vote: Education, and Non-Traditional total votes: 107 Chalmers was not a write-in candidate in these categories: Architecture, Business, Fine Arts, Law, Pharmacy and Social Welfare Bass first name was really James. Celebrities like Tom Cruise, David Bowie and Tupac vied for Senate seats. Students wrote in political figures like President George W. Bush, former presidents Grover Cleveland and Abraham Lincoln, Reverend Al Sharpton, former Senator Bob Dole and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Students also wrote in fictional characters such as Batman, Captain America, Stewie Griffin, Harry Potter, SpongeBob SquarePants, Mickey Mouse and McLovin. Prominent athletes at the University were written in many different categories. One student wrote in Mario Chalmers for president and Chuck Norris for vice president. Brandon Rush, Sasha Kaun, Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, Conner Teahan and former basketball player Julian Wright all made appearances from the basketball team. A student wrote in basketball coach Bill Self for freshman/sophomore CLAS senator. 42 votes: 40 votes:

Some comments included, I wish one of these parties had platforms that mattered, disband Senate and someone not affiliated with the Greek system. Nate Girard, Topeka junior, ran for an education seat with the coalition Students of Liberty. He said he told many people to vote for him, and four wrote him in for junior/ senior CLAS senator. Girard didnt win this year but planned on running next year.

Celebrities, fictional characters, student athletes and a select group of KU students came together at an unusual spot last week the Student Senate election ballot. Rohit Venkatasubban, Wichita junior and elections commissioner, said that write-in spots on a ballot served the purpose of giving students a voice if they didnt like the registered coalitions and candidates. He said write-in candidates still have to be registered two days before elections in order to get a seat, and those votes can influence how many votes another candidate gets. Venkatasubban said he thought many people filled in write-in spots just for fun. An empty box that allows you to type whatever you want in it on a ballot is pretty tempting, Venkatasubban said. Some people who got written in were already running for Senate. Venkatasubban said if they were written in the category they were already running for, then the votes got counted in their overall number. Mario Chalmers received the most write-in votes with 107. Forty-two of those were for president, which gave him one percent of that vote. Students wrote him in for more than half of the categories of Senate seats. Some students whose names were written in werent running for Senate and didnt know that people were writing them in. Jarred Harrington, Bonner Springs freshman, received 27 votes, the next highest number to Chalmers. He said he didnt tell anyone to vote for him, but guessed his fraternity brothers in Phi Gamma Delta were writing his name into the ballots. Harrington plans to run for Senate next year. I was going to this year, but I didnt have time, he said. Celebrities and fictional characters appeared on the ballots many times. One voter wrote in all five members of pop band N*SYNC and even knew that band member Lance
Free HIV tests for students mark the beginning of a studentled effort to raise HIV/AIDS awareness this week. 15 Seconds, a student group that promotes HIV/AIDS education, brings free testing to campus in association with the Douglas County AIDS Project and Student Health Services. Testing begins today on Wescoe Beach. Jamie Bergman, Seneca senior and 15 Seconds president, said the rate of HIV infection among college students was a larger problem than many realized. A lot of people just are not really educated on the issue, Bergman said. Theres a real lack of communication between people, and I dont think students know how important it is to actually get tested. The Center for Disease Control estimates that at the end of 2003, about one-fourth of people in the United States living with HIV/ AIDS were unaware of their HIV infection. The CDC also estimates a 42 percent increase from 2000 to 2004 of people ages 13-24 in the U.S. living with AIDS. DCAP and Student Health Services will conduct the HIV testing using OraSure, a noninvasive test that detects HIV antibodies by swabbing the inside of a persons mouth. Students must fill out a short demographic questionnaire before the test, but Elena Ivanov, executive director of DCAP, said any information gathered would be confidential. Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center, said Student Health Services would also supply a health hut on Monday and Wednesday for increased privacy. At each hut, there will be information about HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, including a
tion meant sexually active students should get tested every six months. Appointments are not necessary for on-campus testing this week, and Ivanov said students would receive results in two weeks. At that time, Bergman said DCAP would return to campus to give results and provide counseling if necessary. EditedbyKatherineLoeck

COMMentary
After reading Josh Andersons opinion piece (April 11) about the Arab/Israeli conflict that misconstrued facts, offered little to no evidence and was decidedly one sided, I felt the need to reply. The policy of apartheid (legalized racial segregation) that occurred in South Africa was a disenfranchisement of its citizens by the minority white government. This policy was a racist policy which differentiated between white and black. Israel, however, is a sovereign nation that occupies the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Neither is a country and is not part of Israel. Non-citizens who live there are not given the same rights as citizens. Israels policy of checkpoints and its construction of a security barrier are designed to defend its citizens from violence. The policy of apartheid was not meant for security. The issues underlying the creation a Palestinian state are very complex. One obvious issue is the terrorist groups, recognized as such by both the United States and Europe, that have considerable influence within the occupied territories. Terrorism should not be confused with nationalistic resistance. Hamas is not dedicated to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that lives in peace alongside the State of Israel; rather, its charter calls for the destruction and elimination of Israel. Negotiating with Hamas would be like negotiating with Al Qaeda, a group committed to the establishment of a universal caliphate. Israel is a democracy that represents the myriad views of its citizens. Some are liberal, cosmopolitan and secular. Others are conservative and religious. Some are nationalistic and some Zionistic. Some are Arab. But all have a voice within the Knesset. The same cannot be said for the autocratic Arab regimes that

Kids these days are so much more resourceful than I was at their age. It used to be that all a kid had to worry about was being picked last for kickball or dodgeball. (These were dangerous activities like prostitution or iron smelting that children were allowed to do in less-enlightened times.) Now kids have therapy sessions, spinning classes and benefit dinners. Id tell my children they are growing up too fast, but they ignore my e-mails on their Blackberrys. Even misbehavior in school used to be simpler. When I was in second grade, my class had a tyrannical teacher. She terrorized the children who ate the dried macaroni noodles used for multiplication problems. It was rumored she had pulled out a handful of a students hair the year before. She kept me after school for using the word nincompoop. She told me, We dont swear in my classroom.
rest at kansan.com.
One day she was absent, so we made our move, picketing at lunch for her dismissal. The lunch lady reported us, and when our teacher returned, she questioned the ringleaders: the girl who lived across the street from me and me. The girl turned states evidence, claiming it was all my idea. Was it all my idea? On the advice of my lawyer, I refuse to answer that question in keeping with my rights under the Fifth Amendment. The teacher asked why I did it. Because we dont like you, I said. (I was a very forward child.) The rest of that school year was not fun. Last week, though, third graders in Georgia took the reaction of frustrated students into the new millennium, plotting to attack their teacher with a broken steak knife. They also had handcuffs (obviously brought by the student with the kinky parents) and electrical tape (brought by the student with possibly kinkier parents, or maybe just a parent who is an electrician). The teacher was described as a veteran educator, meaning she has old-fashioned notions regarding the appropriate times for students to stand on chairs. When she tried to stop a student who hadnt gotten the chair-standing memo, she precipitated the conflict. Without having to waste valu-
able Internet-surfing time conducting parental interviews, I can tell you right now what their parents would say: Its all her fault. My precious little [non-harmful woodland creature] wouldnt hurt a [widely detested vermin]. Of course they are correct. The teacher and her outdated worldview is to blame. Her obsolete pedagogy probably doesnt even have room for teacher-student sex, no matter how mature the 32-year-old teacher finds her 14-year-old male students to be. Get with the times, lady! This teacher is apparently laboring under the old notion that childhood is an innocent time that is meant to be cherished. The new ideology is that childhood is the new virginity: something shameful that is flung away to the first older guy with a moped and a bad teenage moustache who comes along. Luckily for the students, the only thing more out of date than their teacher is the Georgia criminal code, which does not allow for the 8 and 9 year olds to be charged with a crime. Otherwise, they would have to find time in their busy adult-like schedules for arraignments and Dateline NBC interviews. Minster is a Lawrence senior in economics.

coPhillips reaped a combined $123 billion in profits. Those are the companies whose officials gathered in the House committee hearing. They said they need the generous tax breaks Congress provides them and argued that their profits are justified because theirs is a cyclical business. Thats what they told
lawmakers two years ago when oil was about $60 a barrel, and its what they said 18 months ago when oil was $75 a barrel. Well bet they say it when a barrel of oil costs $125 or $150. Oil companies are not only entitled to seek profits but must make profits to continue to operate. And there is much that the oil companies cannot control tension in the Middle East, for example. Yet their straight-faced defense of such massive profits that result in part from the tax breaks subsidized by the same people who increasingly struggle to fill their tanks amounts to a defense of greed. The oil companies have needed and gotten help in the past. Now its their customers who need help.

The five departing seniors stand in anticipation to receive the mr. Jayhawk award, which is normally given to just one player. 12 Championship game against Texas, the Final Four victory against North Carolina and Mario Chalmers now historic shot against Memphis. With a myriad of cameras flashing, Kansas five seniors each gave speeches. I love everybody in this gym, Jackson said, fighting back tears. Self spoke next and thanked his entire staff. You cant have a higher high than weve had this week, Self said. Next, Self shared special thoughts on each player and awarded the Mr. Jayhawk award to his five seniors. When it was all done, and One Shining Moment had played one last time, Chris and Liz Dodds, a Topeka couple, stood near the door of the Kansas locker room and held their infant daughters Parker and Piper, who were adorned with matching pink Kansas shirts. I was 9 years old when they won it the last time, Dodds said. I wish my dad would have brought me here. Seems a lot of Kansas fans shared the same sentiments as the Dodds. Hundreds of young children were speckled in

The Kansas football team certainly deserved kudos for its 2007 season. The Jayhawks went 12-1, marched up the top 25 polls nearly every week and won the Orange Bowl. But as the Jayhawks prepare to play in the annual spring game at 7 tonight, the overwhelming success of last season isnt breeding any complacency. We worked harder this offseason, definitely, than in past offseasons Ive been here, junior running back Jake Sharp said. Everybody is buying into what were doing here. Theres no, Why are we doing this? Were doing this because were Orange Bowl champs. Motivation aside, Kansas will have to replace several key components of its 2007 team, including two of the offensive linemen who paved the way for Sharp and protected junior quarterback Todd Reesing. Left tackle Anthony Collins entered the NFL Draft after his junior year, and right tackle Cesar Rodriguez exhausted his eligibility, leaving a four-way battle for the two spots at the ends of the offensive line. Senior Matt Darton and redshirt freshman Jeff Spikes are competing to take Collins place at left tackle. Darton started one game last season when Collins suffered an injury. Spikes, at 6foot-6 and 314 pounds, has drawn rave reviews from coaches since coming to Kansas one season ago. Spikes is a guy with a lot of talent, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. He is young, but at the end of the day, he may be one of the
Junior running back Jake Sharp runs upfield in a game last season. sharp is one of three running backs who will be competing for carries next season in tonights spring football game. most talented offensive linemen weve had here. Either sophomore Ian Wolfe or junior Nathan DCunha will inherit Rodriguezs spot at right tackle. Wolfe saw action as a reserve last season, but is undersized at 280 pounds. DCunha is a native of Campbelltown, Australia, who is 25 years old but has only played one season of college football. Fans could also get a sneak peek at who will be running behind Kansas retooled offensive line Saturday. Last seasons leading rusher, Brandon McAnderson, graduated, leaving several potential replacements. Sharp started one game in 2007 and finished 12th in the Big 12 Conference with 821 rushing yards, but his production tailed off near the end of the season. Junior Angus Quigley and sophomore Carmon Boyd-Anderson each contributed in late-game situations last year and participated with the second-string in this years spring practices. The running back position should be positive for us with Jake coming back, Mangino said. We are anxious to see what Angus Quigley will do, running the ball and blocking, as well. Several potentially important pieces of next seasons squad will not appear Saturday. Transfers such as junior running back Jocques Crawford and sophomore punter Alonso Rojas have not arrived on campus yet but could snag starting positions in 2008. Senior linebacker Joe Mortensen, senior center Ryan Cantrell and junior safety Justin Thornton will not participate in spring practices because of injuries. Edited by Matt Hirschfeld

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Brian Bannister had a plan against the Minnesota Twins and Francisco Liriano, and it worked out perfectly. As a result, the Kansas City Royals snapped a three-game losing streak on a frigid Sunday afternoon with a 5-1 victory over the Twins and Liriano, who was making his first major league appearance in 17

months. I knew Liriano was coming back from an injury, he was rehabbing, said Bannister (3-0), who went nine innings and allowed only three hits. Performing almost as briskly as the stiff breeze that dropped the wind chill to 29 degrees at game time, Bannister pitched the second complete game of his career, giving up only one walk and one unearned run. He struck out three.

Land strong in series sweep
After a week of cancellations, the Jayhawks came back with a much-needed sweep of Texas Tech. The Kansas weather was on hand this weekend, as the Jayhawks used the wind to launch balls over the Hoglund Ballpark fence. Junior first baseman Preston Land was one of the Kansas players to hit home runs, homering in both Saturdays and Sundays games. Although the wind aided some of the Jayhawks long balls, Lands towering shots would have been out of Yellowstone Park. Lands average climbed to .248 on the weekend, and the two home runs brought his total to five. Sundays game was sparked by Lands home run, while also having junior catcher Buck Afenir and freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters go deep. Lands momentum this weekend will carry him into a tough following week when the Jayhawks travel to Lincoln, Neb., to face the Cornhuskers. Coach was out there telling us in the huddle that after this weekend, we jumped from tenth to seventh, Land said. It is huge motivation and gets us ready for our next series. The Jayhawks are starting to climb the ladder in the Big 12 and are going to have to rely on continuing to hit. The Jayhawks will face a tough Missouri State team Wednesday before they get that next chance.

Preston Land, junior first baseman, takes a throw-over to first base from freshman pitcher T.J. Walz. Land gave Kansas a 5-1 lead against Texas Tech with a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning.
AUGUSTA, Ga. Trevor Immelman has never felt better. Four months after he had a tumor removed from his back, Immelman handled the wind and pressure of Augusta National far better than anyone chasing him Sunday to win the Masters, the first South African in a green jacket in 30 years. Immelman held it together around Amen Corner and stretched his lead to as many as six shots on the back nine, taking the life out of a Masters that began with so much hype. A two-putt par on the final hole gave him a 3-over 75, matching the highest final round by a Masters champion. Even so, it
Casey Larson, senior center fielder, dives safely back into first base. Larson hit 2-3 and scored two of the Jayhawks 9 runs in their 9-5 victory over Texas Tech Friday afternoon.
