Jubilant fans welcome heroes home Huge crowd greets Javhawks

While 30,000 Kansas fans eagerly awaited the arrival of the 1988 NCAA basketball national champions yesterday afternoon, the Kansas cheerleaders broke into the "Cabbage Patch" dance.
Soon, everyone in the stands at Memorial Stadium was swaying and dancing as they gleetly mocked the Oklahoma Soopers.
The dance was originally the trademark of the Sooners, who lost to the Jayhawks Monday night in the battle for the national championship.
But the Jayhawks have immortalized the dance as a symbol of victory over Oklahoma.
The entire west side of the stadium was packed by students, alumni, parents and their children. They went through all the fight songs and chants, cheering and screaming non-stop as they waited.
"I have never seen this level of enthusiasm," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said. "It is an extraordinary thing. It is a genuine expression of strong feelings. The coach has to be impressed and moved."
The bus pulled onto the track and stopped in front of the crowd, which let out a deafening roar. The first person off the bus was senior forward Archie Marshall, carrying the championship trophy.
At 1:15 p.m., the team bus appeared at the southeast corner of the stadium, and the scoreboard flashed "1," Kansas Jayhawk Basketball-NCA Champs, with zero time on the clock and the score 83-79.
The players stepped onto the stage that had been set up on the 50-yard line. Guard Scooter Barry pinched his cheeks, slapped his face and blinked, either out of exhaustion or out of mock bewilderment at the crowd.
Kansan copies of 'Champs!' on sale today
Because of the large demand for yesterday's Kansan, extra copies of the paper will be sold today for 50 cents each at the Kansas Union Bookstore. The papers should be available after 12 p.m.
With the basketball band playing and the crowd cheering, the players joined in with the Cabbage Patch dance and finally sat back in their seats, with their index fingers pointed in the air.
Posters of the front page of yesterday's Kansan are also being printed and will be sold for $2 apiece at the bookstore. The posters should be available late today or tomorrow.

"I was worried about Oklahoma dancing," said Kansas coach Larry Brown. "That kept me awake for two or three nights. I didn't want to see those suckers dance. But I don't mind seeing our kids dance."

The Kansas basketball team celebrates its victory in the 1988 National Championship, imitating the Oklahoma team's "Cabbage Patch" dance. The Jayhawks were given a victory reception yesterday in Memorial Stadium. About 30,000 fans came to welcome the team home.

Kansas fans are exhilarated by victory All-night parties and impromptu parades give students unique memories

KU students just couldn't stop high-fivin' one another yesterday. And they couldn't stop driving onward and honking their horns, either.
Euphoria has a tendency to do that to people. The first NCAA basketball national champion, Derek Jeter, played in the university of Kansas into the grips of pure, unadulterated joy yesterday. The cancellation of classes capped what many considered to be the perfect day, although the action probably was moot.
"I probably wouldn't have gone anyway even if we did have class," said Mike O'Connell,
The lack of classes and a late night of partying cast a strange quiet over the campus during the late morning hours of the day. Most people slept late.
"We're just trying to recuperate from last night," said David Deateright, St. Joseph.
Mo. sophomore. "We slept until noon, but that was still only about eight hours of sleep."
The parade was typical of the traffic jams that have occurred after NCAA tournament victories. But while many hanked their horns, a preferred to enjoy the atmosphere from afar.
"It was the calm after the storm," he said. But the quiet proved only to be a brief break in the celebration. A pep rally attended by about 30,000 people quickly turned into a spontaneous, three-hour, horn-honking parade on Jayhawk Boulevard.
A quiet aki had settled over the residence halls, where Harold Lofh, Salina freshman, said that people had gone crazy, partying until about 5 a.m.
Jim Kartsonis, Kansas City, Mo. senior, sat on the steps of强冷 Hall waiting to enroll in classes for next semester. He kept an eye on the parade while privately sharing in the
He said that he was going to spend the day enjoying the celebration and that he would spend that night rehashing the event with friends.
exhilaration of the moment
"I'm just taking it all in. It is so exciting," Kartsonis said.
"We are going out to dinner and talk about it some more," he said.
"Tom Brigdon, Gardner sophomore, said,
'Everyone will still be excited, but you won't
be able to see it as much because everyone will
be dead."
Most people expected that the campus soon would return to normal, partly because students would be too tired to continue parting.
For Andy Flower, Detroit sophomore, the day off from class was a break in the nerve-racking business of following KU in the NCAA tournament.
"We need to relax," he said. "This tournament has built up a tension." "We'll probably just play some basketball out back."
And a few took advantage of a deserted Robinson Center to play a little basketball of the
O'Connell said, "It was good to get some exercise to sweat off the beer I drank last night."
But most agreed that even after the pandemonium subsides, the magic of the moment will survive long after the last horn has honked on Jayhawk Boulevard.
Jenni Silberstein, St. Louis freshman, said,
"I will always remember how all the KU
students came together. It was so spontaneous.
I don't think the spirit will ever wind down
"I will always remember that I was here when we were national champions."

All quiet on OU's campus
By Joel Zeff
Kansan staff writer
In Norman Okla
After Kansas' victory in the NCAA championship Monday night, it was quiet on campus.
About 350 miles south of the toilet-paper-littered trees, empty champagne bottles and national championship trophy is a town lost in a lonely, quiet defeat.
"It was real quiet around here. There were no after-game celebrations because there was nothing to celebrate," said David Annis, assistant director of food services for the University of Oklahoma.
However, Annis said that Oklahoma was starting to understand deflate after losing the national championship in football and basketball this year.
"At least Barry Switzer (Oklahoma football coach) and Billy Tubos (Oklahoma basketball coach) have to talk about these days." Annis said.
Jeff Benoit, a Kansas City, Mo., sophomore at OU, said he was taking the loss with humility and a sense of humor.
Annis said that most Oklahoma fans were mystified and depressed
"You can just call us the 'University of Choke-lahma.' But how many teams can say they played for the national title?" Benoit asked.
Kaari Nelson, a Chicago sophomore at OU, said that there was a welcoming home party yesterday for the celebration. "It was the celebration she had honored for
Nelson said that the OU fans were supportive of the team at the celebration but that the players still looked depressed from their defeat.
"I don't think the best team won. We just weren't playing to our potential, while the Jayhawks played their best game ever." Nelson said.
Thoughts of the wrong team winning were as widespread in Norman as the victory celebrations in Lawrence.
"The records show that OU is the best team. We've beaten Kansas twice this year," said Julia Hughes, a Wichita freshman at OU.
Janine Brooks, an Oklahoma City senior at OU, said the outcome of the championship game had enough merit for both teams.
"Two Big Eight schools in the championship game is impressive, Kansas played a perfect game, and we didn't," Brooks said. "Wait until next year, when we will be out for revenge instead of Kansas being out for revenge."
Dukakis, Bush win in Wisconsin, lead in delegates
The Associated Press
--expected to spend considerable energy in the next few weeks signing party leaders up for their cause.
MILWAUKEE — Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis scored a convincing victory in the Wisconsin primary last night, quelling Jesse Jackson's momentum in the Democratic presidential race and reaching for control in the see-saw struggle for the party's 1988 nomination.
"It was a great victory for us; I hope it's a sign of things to come," Dukakis said as he looked ahead to primaries later this month in New York and Pennsylvania.
The Massachusetts governor was winning 47 percent of the Wisconsin vote to 29 percent for Jackson. Vice President George Bush continued his march to the Republican nomination, piling up 84 percent of the GOP vote.
Dukakis also celebrated a narrow victory over Jackson in Colorado caucuses that were marked by a slow and controversial count. Together, Wisconsin and Colorado added to Dukakis's slender lead in the competition for delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Jr. ran a distant third in Wisconsin, failing once again in his search for a breakthrough outside of his native South. Even so, he pronounced himself "extremely pleased" and said, "It's going to be a hard-fought battle all the way to the convention."
Illinois Sen. Paul Simon was gaining under 5 percent of the vote and seemed likely to suspend active campaigning.
Wisconsin had 81 Democratic delegates at stake. with
Dukakis leading for 44 and Jackson for 25 and Gore 12. Going into the evening, Dukakis led Jackson 692 to 683, and Gore had 382 delegates. Simon had 171, and 517 were uncommitted. It takes 2,082 to claim the Democratic nomination.
Dukakis came to Wisconsin hoping to quiet concerns held by party leaders who fretted over his ability to fend off Jackson, particularly after his poor showings in the Illinois primary and Michigan caucuses last month. His victory seems likely to reassure establishment leaders, many of whom fear Jackson would lead the party to defeat if he won the nomination.
For the same reason, the Dukakis victory is likely to stifle talk of drafting New York Gov. Mario Cuomo or another Democrat into the race, and Dukakis's aides are
Jackson, campaigning in Arizona, said "I feel good. After 40 contests, I've come in No. 1 or No. 2 in 30 of them. I'm proud of that."
The polls indicated that Jackson, who won the state's minuscule black vote overwhelmingly, captured between 20 and 25 percent of the white vote as well. It was far more than the 7 percent he claimed in 1984 but not enough to produce a victory in an overwhelmingly white state.
Bush easily defeated former television evangelist Pat Robertson in the Republican race. His 47 Wisconsin delegates bring his total to 888. He needs 1,039 for the nomination.
