END OF THE ROAD
Tar Heels come up
short in Final Four

SAN ANTONIO - North Carolina
came to the Alamodome with dreams of
a national title, \isions of completing a
magnificent season by hoisting the cham
pionship trophy high in celebration.
After 14 minutes of play Saturday,
those visions were dashed. Instead,
UNC saw a blue-and
red streak of Kansas
Jayhawks who stole
the ball, raced down
court and dropped in
layup after layup.
Try as they might
to mount a comeback
that would have gone
down as the best in
history, the Tar Heels
tired out before they
could complete the
task, falling to Kansas
84-66.
The team finished
with a school record
for wins in a season,
but its final goal went
unfinished.

some great, great things," coach Roy
Williams said. “But we’re extremely dis
appointed right now because we had a
bigger dream."
The same force that allowed the Tar
Heels to lead the ACC, win the confer
ence tournament and plow through
NCAA tournament games in Raleigh and
Charlotte just vanished in San Afttonio.
Kansas instead seized control imme
diately by forcing turnovers, attacking
at even- position and commanding the
game's pace.
As the UNC crowd watched in horror
and disbelief, the score reached 40-12
with 6:48 left in the first half. UNC (36-
3) was getting beaten at its own game.
“It was like, that wasn’t North Carolina
out there," senior Quentin Thomas said.
“I told someone, it looked like we have
never played basketball before."

Peer chancellors paid more
BY KEVIN KILEY
STAFF WRITER
Not only does it take a lot of
money to run a university, but it
also takes quite a bit to get some
one to run it
For UNC it most likely will take
a lot more in the future.
As university leaders’ salaries
have increased around the country,
Chancellor James Moeser’s salary,
recently raised to $390,835, is only
slightly more than half of some of his
peers’ at other public institutions.
That’s what UNC will have to
grapple with as it searches for its
next chancellor, whom University

“We haven’t gotten to the point
where we’re really considering the
salary," said Nelson Schwab, chair
man of the chancellor search com
mittee. “We’re just looking for the
best candidates, and when we get
to that point we’ll figure it out”
But when the field is narrowed,
they will start negotiating payment.
Schwab said the salary will be
based on three criteria: the mar

And all three factors point to

KU post gives Hansbrough fits

SAN ANTONIO - Tyler
Hansbrough sat in front of his
locker Saturday night, head down
and hands interlocked in the
aftermath of Kansas' shocking
siege at the Alamodome that pro

never would relinquish.

Now there are eight

number moving up to around
$500,000,” Schwab said.
At private institutions the trend
has been even more pronounced.

Granted. Hansbrough finished
with 17 points and nine rebounds
