Cosby was all comedy for the 90 minute show except for a few minutes at the beginning, which he dedicated to honor troops overseas and their families.
Cosby talked about everything, from pre-puberty misconceptions to being a girl-crazy teenage boy, to having children and then to elderly chatter about health problems.
He even delved into the trauma of male puberty. Cosby talked about the horror of waking up from a lovely dream,
only to have your mother look
through your underpants and ask too many questions. He said he wished fathers gave sons a kit, like mothers gave to daughters when they became young women. Wax paper and duct tape would be in the boys' box, he said. That way they could wrap themselves up in bed at night before the unthinkable happened.
"It was like watching your grandfather talk about sex," said Carly Mesmer, Leawood sophomore.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said he picked Cosby up from the airport, but Cosby talked to Johnson's mom more than to him.
Cosby fans didn't exactly
pack Allen Fieldhouse like a
basketball game, but students, parents, graduates, faculty and staff lined along the sidewalk outside waiting to see the show. Johnson said Cosby was surprised at the crowd waiting to enter Allen Fieldhouse and modestly asked if the crowd was for him.
Cosby walked onto the stage built for the performance dressed like a Jayhawk — in a navy "Kansas" hooded sweatshirt.
Waiting for Cosby on a chair was the "Hello Friend" sweatshirt. The shirt is a memorial to Cosby's son, Ennis. At the end of the show, Cosby hurled the shirt into the audience to a fan
Mesmer had two words for Cosby: "freaking awesome."

CENTER: America must learn from its mistakes

Japanese history who had taken Beckman's place, to build a long-lasting program.
Today, the University is the only college in the west-central region of the United States that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Japanese studies, and the Center provides coordination for the University's active and growing program in East Asian studies, according to a Consulate General of Japan press release.
Owen Grieb spent three years teaching English in Japan in a government program and is now back at the University. He
said he was part of the East Asian languages and culture program and thought it had an excellent mixture of Japanese history, language and relation between old and modern Japan.
"It's amazing that a landlocked state in the middle of the U.S. can get an island country to bestow an award on it," said Grieb, Overland Park graduate student.
It is important for the University to remain active in maintaining its relationship with Japan and in teaching East Asian studies because the future is in Asia, Tsutsui said.
Japan is a huge trading partner with Kansas and China is continuing to grow, he said, and
because of globalization, the world is only getting smaller.
"We need to stay aware of our neighbors in the world, and Japan is one of our best friends and allies," he said.
But Moos said the University and the United States had come full circle and were repeating some their past mistakes.
The NDEA has been replaced by Homeland Security and the United States and its universities are once again in need of language experts, he said.
"We need to remember that we should look in the past and learn from the past." Moos said.

Dangerfield dead at 82
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Rodney Dangerfield, the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies and made his lament "I don't get no respect" a catchphrase, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Abbey Dangerfield, who fell into a coma after undergoing heart surgery, died at 1:20 p.m. yesterday, said publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield had a heart valve replaced Aug. 25 at the University of California, Los Angeles. Medical Center.
stroke after the operation and developed infectious and abdominal complications. But in the past week he had emerged from the coma, the publicist said.
Sasaki said in a statement that Dangerfield suffered a small
"When Rodney emerged, he kissed me, squeezed my hand and smiled for his doctors," Dangerfield's wife, Joan, said in the statement. The comic is also survived by two children from a previous marriage.
As a comic, Dangerfield — clad in a black suit, red tie and white shirt with collar that seemed too tight — convulsed audiences with lines such as: "When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my
mother," and "Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: "Basement?"
In a 1986 interview, he explained the origin of his "respect" trademark:
"I had this joke: I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me.' To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: I was so poor, I was so dumb, so this, so that. I thought, 'Now what fits that joke?' Well, 'No one liked me' was all right. But then I thought, a more profound thing would be, I get no respect."
After his first major film role in "Caddyshack," he began starring in his own movies.
