NCAA champion University of Denver ski team will meet President Bush and tour the White House on June 24, and have dinner with DU Alum and current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice earned her bachelor's degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974.

When the 2004 National Champion hockey team visited the White House, Bush had this to say...

"I like the story of DU hockey player Lukas Dora. Where are you, Lukas? There you go. Lukas is from the Czech Republic. They tell me he talks a lot on the ice. He's a talkative guy, but he uses unique English to confuse the opponents. (Laughter.) Kind of sounds like the strategy I use at the press conferences. (Laughter and applause.)"

Speaking of Condi, if anyone is interested in seeing what she looked like (cute) as a DU student in the late 70s, check out the you tube video footage (several shots of her at DU in the video) at www.korbeltribute.com
