case I haven't told everyone, the OU women's basketball team won the 3/1/06 game
against Texas Tech by ONE FREAKING POINT. Look, I respect Kelvin's team
and all, but I don't want my women picking up bad habits from his men!
I (and about 150 other people) met the bus Wednesday night at 12:30 when
they arrived back from Lubbock.....it was SWEET. </FONT><FONT
face=Wingdings>J <FONT face=Arial>Next up is being number 1 seed in

<DIV><SPAN class=629041419-03032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the interest of
keeping everyone informed, Great Lakes announced today they will pay the 1%
default fee for their borrowers for the 2006-2007 award year. They did
include a caveat that they will review their policy
annually. Subject to that review AND/OR statutory or regulatory
changes, they hope to be able to continue paying the fee after
06-07. You can read the full text of the news release at <A
href="http://www.nasfaa.org/publications/2006/cngreatlakes030306.html">http://www.nasfaa.org/publications/2006/cngreatlakes030306.html</A> .
</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=629041419-03032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>As you'll
notice, the only two guarantors (NY HESC and Great Lakes) who have announced
they will pay the fee are also large servicers so they have revenue
streams from other enterprises with which to subsidize their
guarantor operations. </FONT> </SPAN></DIV>
