RIVALS: Fan rivalry equals that of players
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
gressed, Kansas and Missouri fans took turns taking jabs at each other.
One Missouri fan seated in the KU student section like a child separated from his mother in a department store remarked, "You all kick my ass if you want, we're still Missouri." Upon hearing this, one Jayhawk fan planted his shoe square in the Tiger fan's behind, ending the taunts.
"MU fans and KU fans gener
ally hate each other," Kennedy said. "But it seems to me that MU fans put a lot more stock in the rivalry than KU fans do."
"All that matters is the piece of mind that for the next year,we own Mizzou."
In contrast to this statement, thousands of KU fans sported their "Muck Fizzou" T-shirts. A racier T-shirt worn by many portrayed a Jayhawk and a Tiger on the front in a compromising position reminiscent of one particularly notorious scene from the movie Pulp Fiction. The back simply said, "Screw Mizzo."
Next year, the Jayhawks

remains to be seen.
"I don't care if they give us a drum, a trophy or a million dollars," said Tom Abell, Boulder senior. "All that matters is the piece of mind that for the next year, we own Mizzou."

HALL: Goalpost finds new home in scholarship hall

out," Hillix said.
After reaching an agreement to return the base, or goose-neck of the goalpost to the department, the two parties sealed the deal with a cryptic exchange.
Hillix recalled the official saying, "You didn't see me and I didn't see you."
Continuing on, the group next came across a police officer from the KU Public Safety Office.
"We told him that we had a deal with the Athletics Department," Hillix said. "But I don't think he believed us."
Unable to locate anyone from
the department to confirm the deal, the officer let the group carry on with the post, but said he would contact them the following week.
"We had to promise not to cut it up." Hillix said.
The group's next obstacles were Fox 4 News and a bus of Kansas and Missouri alumni. A fan offered Hillix $500 on the spot for the post, but with a news camera and police officer watching. Hillix said they weren't willing to sell it.
Cole Robinson, Prairie Village sophomore, said they had tried to get home unnoticed, but it was a lost cause.
"We were carrying a 200-
pound piece of neon yellow metal." Robinson said. "We were screwed."
screwed. Sergeant Troy Mailen of the Public Safety Office was on duty inside the stadium during the game.
game.
Mailen said that officers tried to stop fans from pulling down the goalposts, but once the crowd became too large the goal was to keep fans safe. While some fans had to be escorted out of the game, he said no one was hurt when the goalposts came down.
"We understand that this is a festive occasion for students, but we try to deter fans from tearing the posts down because they do cost money," Mailen.
Mailen said that as pieces of the posts left the stadium, officers followed the different sections to the lake and brought them back to the stadium. The officers didn't retrieve all the pieces, however.
Replacing the goalposts will cost the University of Kansas $3,500 to $4,000.
Eventually the group made its way back to Battenfeld with the post. The group is still unsure how long their new addition will stay. For now it is a trophy, Jordan List said.
"This is a story we are going to tell our grandchildren," List, Hutchinson freshman, said.

South Carolina debates fate of bodies
Music aficionados had more than 16,000 discs to choose from during the For Your Ears Onlymusic sale this weekend the Douglas County Fairgrounds. The three-day sale raised money for Audio-Reader, a service that assists the blind.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A proposal to have the bodies of eight Confederate sailors lie in state in the Capitol has drawn criticism from some who contend giving them the honor would be unfair and disrespectful.
The Associated Press
The sailors' remains were recovered when the submarine H.L. Hunley was brought up in 2000 from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, where it sank shortly after downing the Union blockade ship Housatonic in
1864. The Hunley was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship during a war.
Some question whether Confederate soldiers should be honored in such a way, including state Sen. Darrell Jackson, who said he
Such an honor has been reserved for sitting or long-serving congressmen in recent years.
A Hunley Commission member said no formal request has been made, but a Web site listing details of funeral plans had initially included two days in the Capitol.
federate battle flag, and it should be done with dignity and honor."
"Can you imagine how we would be perceived by the rest of the world honoring these men who fought for slavery?" said Jackson, the descendant of slaves.
would oppose any plan to give high public honors to the dead Confederates.
"This is a funeral," he said. "It has nothing to do with the Con-
State Sen. John Coursen, also Hunley Commission member, said the panel has not requested to have the bodies lie in state, but he said it would be appropriate.
The governor, speaker of the House and president pro tem of the Senate, who are all Republicans, have the power to decide who can lie in state. The head of the Senate, Glenn McConnell, is a Confederate re-enactor and is leading the effort to raise $40 million for a Hunley museum
Other critics question the fairness of honoring Confederate soldiers while not giving U.S. soldiers the same treatment.
FUNDRAISER:300 people attend

community, more than 10,000 CDs and 6,000 vinyls were divided in more than 30 categories, said Janis Hutchison, one of the volunteers.
The wide selection drew more than 300 people to Friday's sneak preview. People lined up outside the door two hours before the sale, said Diana Frederick, Audio-Reader's development director
Avid collectors went to a table marked "Attention: Collector," which had Beatles albums and recordings of opera singer Enrico Caruso from 1919.
"Friday night was neat because the collectors knew exactly what they wanted," Hutchison said.
The proceeds will help AudioReader make the transition to digital. The satellite uplink that it uses for its services is analog and needs to be converted. Campbell said the project would cost $40,000, but the success of the music sale would help in the conversion.
"We're accepting donations for next year, because we're definitely doing it again," Campbell said.
