At Commerce Bank, we know it's tough to do your best in school if you're hassled by money problems. So we offer Money 101—a package of banking services especially for college students. Use any or all of them.
Money 101 is a Student Loan Program with a difference. All student loans are the same — same rates, same terms. Only the banks are different. And Commerce Bank can save you interest. While other banks capitalize interest as many as 16 times while you're in school, Commerce doesn't until you graduate — meaning real interest savings.
Money 101 includes a Student VISA or MasterCard to help you get the things you need — and cash advances, too.
The low-cost Money 101 Checking Account helps you keep track of expenses with a complete monthly statement.
And for maximum convenience, sign up for Money 101's Connection 24 Card. It gives you access to your checking and savings accounts 24 hours a day at any Connection 24 ATM (Automated Teller Machine) in Kansas — and other CIRRUS and BankMate ATMs nationwide.
So call me or stop by today and sign up for Money 101 — find out how top performance banking can help your performance at school. "
"If you want to save time and money at college, the smartest course is Money 101."

Oklahoma coach hunt begins
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — University of Oklahoma officials met yesterday to discuss their strategy in replacing basketball coach Billy Tubbs, who left during the weekend for the same job at Texas Christian.
Among the names speculated upon in the media have been Tubby Smith of the University of Tulsa, John Calipari of Massachusetts, Jim Crews of the University of Evansville, Bob Huggins of the University of Cincinnati and Charlie Spoonhouf of the University of Saint Louis.
Oklahoma athletic director Donnie Duncan said any contact with prospective replacements would be made only after meeting with university personnel and the board of regents. The regents hold their monthly meeting today and tomorrow in Norman.
It was not clear which day Duncan would go before the board. He was in meetings yesterday and not immediately available for comment.
Bob Marcum, athletic director at Massachusetts, said he would allow Calipari to speak with Sooner officials "based on if John is interested in
"I think John's made it very plain he's not interested in going elsewhere right now," he said.
the job."
Callipar, who has built a power house at Massachusetts, recently was sought by the University of Pittsburgh but decided to stay put. He is under contract with the Minuteur through 2000, Marcum said.
Smith was thought to be locked in at Tulsa with a five-year deal. The agreement was reached Friday, but Smith has not formally signed a contract.
Christopher Small, a university vice president and acting athletic director of Tulsa, said he expected Smith to stand by the deal.
Saint Louis sports information director Doug McHlagga said athletic director Debbie Yow had not been contacted by Duncan. He also said Spoonhour had not talked with anyone at Oklahoma.
"I think, based on all our experiences with Tubby, he's a man of his word, and I see no reason to assume he's going to change his mind at this point." Small said.
Spoonhour just completed his second year at Saint Louis and is mulling a contract extension that would keep him with the Billikens through 2000.
The names of Crews and Huggins, both highly successful, young coaches, seem to surface whenever openings occur at major programs.
He also pointed out that even if Smith had already signed the contract, that would not necessarily keep him from taking a job elsewhere.
Smith turned down a lucrative offer from Kansas State before agreeing to stay with Tulaa. His name also has been mentioned in connection with the job at Iowa State if Johnny Orr

retires.
"I just hope I will be given consideration," said Anderson, who was with Tubs for all 14 years the coach was at Oklahoma.
"I always considered myself to be a team player, loyal, someone who would do what it takes to pay the price and do what's right for the team and the program. I'm comfortable and confident that they know what kind of person I am."

K-State still searching for coach
MANHATTAN, Kan. — So much for naming a new basketball coach by 8.a.m. yesterday.
Kansas State officials, hoping to bring in new candidates possibly this week, said yesterday they seemed no nearer to naming a replacement for Dana Altman than they were last week.
"A decision does not appear to be imminent," athletic director Max Urick said. "We're still in the process. It's only been about a week since the committee has been able to get together. We're working hard to do the best we can."
The Wildcats, who got to the semifinals of the NIT and were the last Big Eight Conference school to finish playing this season, were
Kansas State's apparent first choice, Tubby Smith, last week he would remain at Tulsa, where he has revived the program.
expected to try to name a coach by yesterday morning. With national letter-of-intent signing day tomorrow, coaches no longer could contact prospects after 8 a.m. yesterday.
The committee spent Sunday talk with Pepperdine coach Tom Asbury. Others who reportedly have been interviewed include Washburn coach Bob Chipman and Ohio coach Larry Hunter.
Chipman, who played for Kansas State in the early 1970s and has been successful with the Division II program at Washburn, is a popular choice among many alumni.
Mike Brey, an assistant to Duke coach Mike Kryzewski, also may be interviewed this week, sources said.
"Each candidate brings his own strengths and weaknesses," Urick said. "It's a process of seeing what each one can bring to the table, seeing if the one with the strongest credentials and the strongest presentation is the right fit. We will just keep moving ahead."
Urick emphasized yesterday that the process "continues to be open."
"We're hoping to bring in another candidate," he said. "We're trying to get that worked out, but it's tough sometimes to get people together. But I feel encouraged. We're moving ahead."
