Fans rejoice, destroy Celebrators vandalize campus and area bars

The Jayhawks' national championship victory Monday night led to destruction as well as celebration, as thousands of fans poured into bars and streets to rejoice.
Mayhem and chaos were the two most common words used by bar employees and campus police to describe the scene Monday night.
It was crazy all over campus, especially on Jayhawk Boulevard, and 25 facilities operations employees spent from 12 a.m. to 2 p.m. yesterday, including six hours of training toilet paper out of trees and beer bottles out ofutters
Facilities operations officials said that little property damage occurred but that it would be expensive to clean up the litter.
By nightfall yesterday, toilet paper still hung in many trees on campus.
Some preliminary reports of damage on campus were available yesterday from KU police. However, more complaints are expected, and most reports will not be posted today, said L.I. Jeanne Longaker, KU police spokesman.
A beer bottle was thrown through the windshield of a KU police car at the corner of Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Avenue Monday afternoon. KU police said the car sustained $200 damage.
After midnight, another KU police car sustained damage when a group of people began rocking it in an attempt to turn it over. Longaker said the car was parked near the Chi Omega Fountain to block the entrance to Jayhawk Boulevard. The crowd surrounding the car started throwing beer at it and at an officer nearby. The
hood of the car was dented. No charges have been filed.
KU police also reported that lights in front of the building were on. They came from the corner of Jewett House and Sunflower Avenue.
Damage wasn't limited to the KU campus.
Students who tried to call Gammons yesterday would have heard an answering machine say, "Hey! How 'bout them ' Hawks! If you lost something last night, call or come in and tell us we're still recovering from the distractions from the wreckage."
Dane Lee, owner of Gammons, 1601 W. 23rd St., said,
"It was crazy, just mayhem. There is about a quarter-
inch of broken glass and cups on the floor."
Lee said about $350 to $400 damage was done Monday night.
"One of the neon lights was broken when people were up dancing on the tables," he said. "A few tables were broken, too."
Many of those people who might have been dancing on the tables also left for Jayhawk Boulevard without their personal items.
"We have a huge box of purses, wallets and even a lens from somebody's glasses," Lee said. "It was definitely a party."
Robert Farha, manager of the Wagon Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St., said, "We're still staining through about a half-inch of beer, but it was really pretty much in control."
Jerry Neverve, an employee at the Kansas Sports Bar and Grill, 701 Massachusetts St., said, "We had just a little bit of damage, but we'd do it again in a second.
