"His heart's racing." Wardlow said of her pet.
A few blocks down, some women, perhaps swept away in thrill of victory, flashed passing cars. Complete strangers embraced and horn honks and fireworks made communicating impossible without shouting.
Massachusetts Street offered scenes of delirium, typifying the mood in Lawrence. In front of the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., police officers high-fived passably.
Moments after Kansas' 78- 75 victory over Arizona, hundreds of revelers flooded Jayhawk Boulevard and Massachusetts Street.
Long lines of traffic clogged roads near campus as a steady stream of cars, most filled with screaming fans, lingered around campus.
Though Saturday's victory came as a surprise for many, Arizona's No.1 seed and convincing victory earlier in the year did not bode well for the Jayhawks. Officials were prepared for Saturday's celebrations: Two portable toilets were set up on campus, and a large police contingent was present along Jayhawk Boulevard.
Further down the road, at Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St., local merchants sold
Not everyone was interested in celebrating Kansas' victory Saturday night. Thomas Trower, Lawrence resident, handed out anti-Bush leaflets while holding a "Honk for hemp" sign. Though there were many honks, Trower did not worry if they were intended for him.
final Four T-shirts, reaping the financial rewards of Kansas' victory.
"It's been pretty steady," Danny Madrid, Olathe sophomore, said. "We've sold about 200 and we expect to sell hundreds of them."
Most local eateries were deserted, with people either taking to the streets or heading for bars. Pizza delivery drivers also struggled with the gridlock.
Local bars also benefited from the Jayhawks' victory Saturday. The line at It's Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., stretched around the block.
"It's so difficult," said Ryan Phelps, Clarendon Hills, III., sophomore and delivery driver for Pizza Hut. "I can't deliver pizza tonight at all. The roads are crazy, the people are insane. It's a mad house."
"I'm soaking up the honks anyway," Trower said. "I'm guessing they won a basketball game, or whatever it was."
The mass of people on Massachusetts street did not benefit all businesses.

Rumors

DiVilbiss denies campaigning as a candidate who could save the Oread bars or even bringing the issue up in campaign stops.
"I am familiar with the proposal made three to four years ago by the city commission, but I'm not familiar with those fliers," Hicks said. "I'm sure he's been asked about it by one of the bar owners he's talked to because it's a business concern for them."
Divilbiss said he thought his positive relationship with those bar owners might have them supporting his campaign.
"I haven't talked about that period," he said.
According to all the city commission candidates, those concerns are unfounded. For now, bars are not a part of their platforms.
"There may be bar owners with concerns about that issue that support me because I understand their businesses and appreciate their history, but I have never brought that issue up," he said.
Travis Hicks, DiVilbiss campaign treasurer, said the early closure of campus bars was not an issue DiVilbiss wanted to call attention to, but he knew it was an issue that concerned the bar owners.

Closing the Oread Neighborhood bars early is an issue that has come to city commissioners in the past.
Army's route to Baghdad presents dangers, success
The Associated Press
NEAR NAJAF, Iraq — The U.S. Army encircled the Shiite holy city of Najaf yesterday and said it killed about 100 paramilitary fighters and captured about 50 Iraqis.
The "terror squad members" were killed yesterday at Najaf and another town in fighting with the 82nd Airborne Division, the Central Command said in a statement Mar. 24. It did not further identify the "terror squads" or give other details about the newly captured Iraqis.

The 101st Airborne Division surrounded Najaf, preparing for a possible door-to-door battle to
Further north, Army brigades crept closer to Baghdad, advancing 10 miles with little resistance, though battles with the Republican Guard loomed. To the south, Marines launched "search-and-destroy" missions to clear the road to Baghdad of Iraqi attackers.
But it was at Najaf—a city of 300,000,100 miles south of Baghdad that U.S. military leaders faced a difficult decision.
It was unclear whether the U.S. strategy is to take Najaf or simply cordon off the city. There are too many Iraqi fighters to bypass or
But if Najaf is a key stepping stone to the capital, it is also a dangerous one.
leave unattended; they endanger U.S. supply lines.
On Saturday, a suicide attack killed four U.S. soldiers north of town; yesterday, U.S. troops warned approaching drivers they would be shot if they did not leave the area.
"This is our type of fight," said Command Sgt. Maj. Marvin Hill, of the Fort Campbell, Ky.-based air assault division. "This is probably the most dangerous part of combat and that's urban. Sometimes you don't find out who the enemy is until they're shooting at you."
