hen the white farmhouse burst into a fery mess, the dark
storage trunks rested somewhere inside the three-story
building, keeping their treasures tightly secured.
Maude Harvey knew what was inside the trunks the keepsakes and
artifacts amassed during her lifetime and she wanted them safe. She
wanted to pass them along to her children and to her childrens children.
Te 60-year-old house was a relic, built on the original Harvey family
homestead established in 1863 near Blue Mound, southeast of Lawrence.
Te land was the Harveys frst as free people and that meant something.
It still means something.
But in 1968 the house caught fre, and Maude Harvey cried for someone
to save the tangible evidence of her past.
Two of her sons rushed inside and pulled one of the trunks to safety.
Te others were lost in the fames. Te baby clothes and family items
burned. Part of the Harvey family history burned too.
Except for a picture.

Former athletics director Lew
Perkins was fined $4,000 Tuesday
by the Kansas Ethics Commission
for improperly accepting exercise
equipment.
The commission could have
fined Perkins up to $5,000 for
accepting free equipment from
Medical Outfitters, based in Kansas
City. The equipment was in Perkins
home from 2005-2009.
As athletics director, part of
Perkins salary was paid for by state
funds, making him a state employee
and subject to state ethics laws.
Perkins released a statement
through his attorney following the
decision.
I never acted with any intent to
violate any laws or ethical rules,
the statement said.
Perkins said in the statement that
he fully cooperated with the com-
mission and was satisfied with the
decision.

Walking from campus to down-
town Lawrence at night can be a
harrowing experience.
Its a steep hill and youre not
sure when the sidewalk is going
to be smooth or break right in
front of you, said Libby Johnson,
chairwoman of the Campus Safety
Advisory Board. There are stairs
in random places and its too dark
to see where youre going. Its
pretty scary.
However, this will soon
change.
As soon as the weather
improves, construction will begin
on the Oread Neighborhood
Lighting Project. The project will
connect downtown Lawrence to
campus with a well-lit, handicap
accessible pathway.
The first stage of construc-
tion includes a concrete sidewalk
along the north side of 12th Street
between Louisiana and Vermont
streets. The city of Lawrence will
also erect light poles along the
sidewalk in South Park in March.
Its going to increase the safety
of the Oread Neighborhood, said
Johnson, a senior from Lawrence.
There have been rapes and there
have been other crimes; and I
think this is going to do a very
good job in preventing that.
The path will be lined with
antique style light posts that have
energy saving LED light bulbs
installed. The lights will be con-
nected to motion sensors. Some
proponents said these lights
would increase the safety of
pedestrians,.
Lighting does not necessarily
guarantee safety, but it does give
people walking the opportunity
to see up ahead, said Mark Thiel,
assistant public works director
for the City of Lawrence.
Thiel also said the path would
also help decrease crime in the
area by increasing foot traffic.
Both the University of Kansas
and the City are providing fund-
ing for the project. The Campus
Safety Advisory Board allocat-
ed $100,000 for the project and
Student Senate an additional
$20,000.
The City contributed $50,000
and administered $60,000 of a
Community Development Block
Grant from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban
Development. The total project
will cost $307,010.
Construction was set to begin
during Thanksgiving break.
Delays and bad weather have pre-
vented the company contracted to
build the sidewalk, RD Johnson
Excavating, from starting.
Thiel said work on the sidewalk
would begin once the weather
cleared. He said the light poles
for South Park had been ordered
and would be erected once the
light poles were delivered, which
should be some time in March.
Though the first part of the
project is well under way, devel-
opers are waiting on addition-
al funds from the Community
Block Development Grant before
beginning the next stages.
Johnson said she thought the
project would be completed by
the end of the year.
If the project does not receive
the funds needed, Johnson said
the Campus Safety Advisory
Board would re-evaluate
sources of funding and ask the
Kansas University Endowment
Association and the University
of Kansas Alumni Association to
help out.

Students and faculty gathered on
the sixth floor of the Kansas Union
Tuesday evening to hear Dr. Adia
Harvey Wingfield, assistant profes-
sor of sociology at Georgia State
University, speak about her new
book, Yes We Can?: White Racial
Framing and the 2008 Presidential
Campaign.
The event was organized by the
Office of Multicultural Affairs in
an effort to celebrate the life of
Martin Luther King, Jr. Wingfield
teaches classes on ideas such as race,
gender, work and social theory at
Georgia State University, according
to www2.gsu.edu.
We saw her speak at a conference
this summer; she was a really phe-
nomenal speaker and we enjoyed
her topic, Precious Porras, director
of the Office of Multicultural Affairs
said.
Wingfield traveled with President
Obama during his campaign trail to
research her book using first-hand
observation. Porras feels as though
there is much to be learned about
race in America today.
I think weve come very far, but
we still have far to go, Porras said.
Its an opportunity to remind stu-
dents that we need to be active and
aware so we can move further and
beyond.
Dr. William Staples, professor
and department chair of the sociol-
ogy department, feels that race and
politics are a continuous issue on
the world stage.
Debates about public policy and
how the world is organized con-
tinue to revolve around issues about
race, Staples said.
Porras said Wingfields speech is
the starting point of the Office of
Multicultural Affairs Preemptive
Action campaign during Black
History Month, which she hopes
will turn into a year long campaign
if it is successful.
People look at [Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day] as a day off, Porras
said. You should be aware of the
events around you every day.
Porras feels that the University
of Kansas is an accepting commu-
nity, and does not limit awareness
to solely issues of race.
I would say that overall KU is an
inclusive community, Porras said.
If you have your own dream, what
are you doing to make that dream
happen?

knew Thomas situation and how
much his mother meant to him,
in large part, because thats all he
had. His only set of grandparents
he knew died within the last three
weeks. He gets a call from his sister,
whos nine, that mommy just died
from a 9-year-old, because theres
nobody else to call. Those are pret-
ty heavy things. Our players totally
felt that and respected that and
totally respect Thomas.
The players really want to know
about Thomas situation. They
want to know about the arrange-
ments and about Robinsons
9-year-old sister, Jayla. They want
to know what KU can legally do
and what the NCAA will allow.
Most importantly they wanted to
know if anybody was going to be
able to be with Robinson, because
he does not deserve to be alone.
After practice on Monday,
Director of Basketball Operations
Barry Hinson traveled to
Washington D.C. to help Robinson.
Self, the staff and the Jayhawks have
had numerous conversations about
the situation. The discussions have
been about how to move forward
from a business standpoint and a
personal standpoint.
To me, the big picture is
Thomas, Self said. The other
things, basketball, can help with
the big picture, which is Thomas.
The big pictures not us winning
on Tuesday; the big pictures not
us winning on Saturday. The big is
not that. Basketball is a byproduct
that were fortunate enough to par-
ticipate in because of these guys.
But these guys always come first,
always. Weve got to get back to
basketball, but not at the expense
of not doing what we should do for
the big picture.
Hinson is working with
Robinson on getting an attorney
lined up and helping become edu-
cated with all the things he has to
do. Figuring out family possessions
is going to be a difficult task, but
also what to do with Jayla.
A scholarship fund in Lisa
Robinsons name is being set up for
Jayla. People are asked to contrib-
ute to the fund in lieu of flowers or
other gifts.
Jayla broke the unfortunate
news to Robinson, because she had
nobody else to call. On Sunday,
Robinson said he positively want-
ed to go to Boulder, but after talk-
ing to Jayla, he thought it would be
best to go home. A timetable has
not been set for his return to the
team and Self is OK with the date
Robinson sets to return.
Self said that people handle cer-
tain situations differently in these
types of circumstances and he
wants Robinson to do what is best
for him.
Whats amazing about the situ-
ation is how many people want to
help Robinson. So many people
that Self doesnt know and does
know and that Robinson doesnt
know are willing to offer their
assistance in unselfish ways.
Ive had friends, that Ive known
for years, that live in Texas that
want to go to DC right now, Self
said. They want to move up here
and just take care of Thomas sister.
Theyre talking about guardian-
ship, people that dont know him.
Its amazing to me how people get
connected to our guys because they
see them as one of theirs. Thats
one of the great things about play-
ing here and I think Thomas sees
that now more than ever. Theres
been some positive things have
come of this, without question. No
definite answers will be given on
anything until he has a chance to
figure out whats best for he and
whats best for Jayla.

It is time for closure and to
move on, and I am glad to have this
matter fully and finally resolved,
the statement said.
In a consent agreement reached
between the commissions gener-
al counsel and Perkins attorney,
Perkins maintained he did not
intentionally violate the law. The
commission also agreed not to take
any further action against Perkins
regarding the exercise equipment.
Both parties wish to avoid
potentially costly and protracted
litigation, according to the agree-
ment.
The commission dropped a sec-
ond allegation that Perkins had
accepted free physical therapy
sessions from sports medicine
employees, the Associated Press
reported, because it did not have
the witnesses to prove the allega-
tions.
In June, Perkins claimed he was
the victim of blackmail relating to
allegations he improperly accept-
ed the equipment and physical
therapy sessions. Former director
of sports medicine William Dent
allegedly blackmailed Perkins after
learning Perkins had received free
equipment. Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little ordered a review and
turned the case over to the Kansas
Ethics Commission.
A commission hearing on
Perkins had been scheduled for
November 16, but was delayed after
Perkins had a scheduling conflict.
In June, Perkins announced he
would leave the position of athlet-
ics director in September 2011.
However, Perkins abruptly resigned
September 7, 2010, the same day
the ethics complaint regarding
exercise equipment was signed and
notarized.

Students looking for a more
communal approach to living
arrangements can expect some
minor changes to boarding house
standards in Lawrence.
Boarding houses are multi-
dwelling living structures in which
five or more unrelated people live
together.
Scott McCullough, director of
planning and development servic-
es, said that commissioners have
discussed boarding house issues at
several meetings.
Weve been at it for quite a
while now, he said.
At Tuesdays city commission
meeting, commissioners discussed
re-evaluating parking standards,
boarding house structure space,
and creating grandfathered rights
for any approved boarding house
planning site.
The former
parking stan-
dard for board-
ing houses was
.75 spaces per
legal occu-
pant. City
c ommi s s i on-
ers approved
changing the
standard to one
parking space
per bedroom.
The reason for the change was
to provide a similar standard for
boarding houses as for apart-
ments, which get one space per
bedroom, McCullough said.
The approved grandfathered
rights will allow damaged board-
ing house sites to rebuild.
For example, if an approved
boarding house is damaged by
fire and does not meet the new
requirements for parking, it is
allowed to rebuild with the old
standards.
In the past, conflicts among
boarding house residents and
other neighborhood residents
sparked discussion among city
commissioners.
Consequences of large living
arrangements, such as noise com-
plaints and excessive trash, forced
the commission to consider elimi-
nating boarding houses. Currently,
the city will keep boarding houses
and permit them to be built in the
future.
Ultimately it was viewed as
a good option for student hous-
ing and an option that is feasible
when lawful
students take
up residency,
Mc Cul l oug h
said.
Joe Jacelone
owns a house
in Lawrence
that he rents
out to col-
lege students.
Although his
property only has three residents
and is not considered a boarding
house, he did live in communal
structures as a college student and
understands the conflicts board-
ing houses can cause.
In any college town there are
going to be conflicts between stu-
dents and others in the neighbor-
hood, he said. More students are
looking for cheaper housing and
you find them ending up in resi-
dential areas.
Dan Burdette, a junior from
Overland Park, lives in a house
with nine other roommates, and
said he often deals with noise
complaints from neighbors.
There are 10 of us and every-
body has a lot of friends, so when
we have people over, theres a lot of
noise, he said.
Although boarding houses
might cause conflicts in neighbor-
hoods, Burdette said communal
living arrangements provide dif-
ferent options for students.
Its good for people who want
to live with a bunch of their
friends but arent in a sorority or
fraternity, he said. They should
have that option.

The Louisiana Street Band won
the General Mills Foodservice U

in Los Angeles this month. The
grand prize was recording time
set up through Disk Marketing
Inc. in the well-known Firehouse
Recording Studios, where artists
like Aretha Franklin and the Dave
Matthews Band have recorded.
Band members include lead
guitarist/vocals Evan Epperson,
a senior from Wichita; rhythm
guitarist/vocals JohnMarc Skoch,
a senior from Hastings, Neb.;
keyboardist/vocals Austin Quick,
a senior from Shawnee; bass
guitarist/vocals Brad Feagan, a
sophomore from Oswego; drum-

outshined two
other bands
with its cajun-
blues sound:
The Jerry Oleo
Trio from
Cal State San
Marcos in California, and The
Acree Brothers from Longwood
University in Virginia.
The whole thing seems like a
dream, Epperson said. Some of
us were in disbelief, and it really
hasnt quite set in for us.
The bands were judged on
stage presence, interaction with
and reaction from the crowd,
originality, overall entertain-
ment value and their live per-
formance of original musical

Winning the competition
is a breakthrough for The
Louisiana Street Band because
it means fans can buy its music
for a reasonable price, the band
can send demos to record com-
panies and it opens up oppor-
tunity to play at local estab-
lishments that it would not
have been able to otherwise,
Epperson said.
General Mills still has con-
trol of the bands recordings,
The band has already recorded
at Firehouse Recording Studios,
where its recordings are cur-
rently being mastered.
Once the recordings are
mastered, 5 Alarm Music, the

receive a
royalty check for its music.
Royalties are a big way to
make money, Epperson said.
Bryan Hopkins, lead singer
of the band Paperback Hero
and a judge for the U Rock!
Battle for the Best Contest,
encouraged the band to jump

A summer tour is in the

aybe Im biased. As an up and
coming high school English
teacher, I was particularly
troubled by the recent cuts to public
education that Kansas Governor Sam
Brownback recently announced.
These cuts not only jeopardize my future
job security, they also make clear our
leaders see devastating cuts to educa-
tion as a preferable alternative to raising
taxes even a little bit.
Its no secret that our entire country
is still wading through an economic
recession, and common sense dictates
that in times like these its crucial to cut
spending in order to save money.
But common sense also dictates that
the way out of money troubles is to
make money, and the most efficient way
for a state to do that is through taxes. In
this state especially, too many believe
raising taxes is solely characteristic of
the Democratic Party, viewing them as
anti-capitalistic and anti-American.
And thats the problem.

When did we as a culture allow the
fundamental concept of raising taxes
to become such a polarizing political
buzzword?
Kansas new governor would rather
make grievous cuts to public education
than raise taxes by even a penny, despite
making a campaign pledge to increase
funding for education. This is not only
a poor reflection on our governor, but
also those who elected him.
Are we more willing to take away
from the quality of our youths educa-
tion rather than make any sort financial
sacrifice ourselves?
We live in an age of self-indulgence
unlike any previous generation America
has ever known. We are a country that
has more luxuries than any other nation
in human history, and even in a reces-
sion we still control much of the worlds
wealth. While millions around the globe
face the brutal realities of starvation
every day, we contend with the growing
problem of child obesity.
In spite of the difficult economic
times, the majority of us still go to bed
in a house that has electricity, heat and
running water.
And we know nothing of sacrifice.
In a society as selfish as ours, in a
nation where raising taxes is consid-
ered to be political self-destruction for
any leader, how can we ever expect to
improve any of the public services we
rely so heavily upon?
More and more with each passing
year, teachers are simply expected to
work for almost nothing. How can you
afford to pay public servants if there isnt
any tax money to pay them with?
We as a society seem to only worry
about our own individual financial situ-
ations, refusing to spend our money on
programs that can benefit other people
too.
Nobody likes taxes. But they are a
necessary element of any functioning
society as a means of keeping money
circulating throughout the domestic
economy. And in a recession like this,
they can certainly help keep Americas
public education system intact, and
maybe even improve it.
Whatever we do, if we want to save
education its going to have to come out
of our own wallets.
We have a choice. We can sacrifice
our money or sacrifice our future. And
the governors recent cuts to education
are a disheartening indication that weve
already made our decision.

Recent education cuts refect selfsh culture
WednesdAY, JAnuArY 26, 2011
T
alk about a little perspective. After
the loss to Texas on Saturday, I
did not hear, see or read about a
single Jayhawk fan complaining about our
defeat. Instead, I saw articles about strong
bonds between teammates, the importance
of family and the support of the Jayhawk
nation. Nobody criticized the team for
losing. They focused on the greatest loss
of all the loss for Thomas Robinson and
his family.
And you know what? All of this pos-
itive support for the team surrounding
Saturdays game doesnt surprise me one bit.
Our fans are classy. We dont boo our own
team, we dont act like we are better than
we really are and we dont value a winning
streak too heavily.
Believe me, there are plenty of people
out there who would feel differently and
criticize every last element of the game. But
that didnt happen here in Lawrence, and I
am glad to be a member of a fan base that
knows how to keep everything in perspec-
tive, even when that perspective must be a
sad one.
On an even broader level, I think that
anyone who believes that college kids have
no sense of priorities should view this
as an opportunity to think again. From
Robinsons teammates to my own classmates
and friends, everyone has the same attitude:
family comes first or, as the basketball team
suggests, Family Over Everything
To me, this is a refreshing confirmation
that our generation isnt completely lost to
triviality and self-absorption. Instead, we
know how support each other when the
going gets rough. Just add it to the list of
reasons why its great to be a Jayhawk.

ost students, or really,
young people in general,
arent interested in the
world of politics.
Most arent concerned with much
past what parties are going on this
weekend.
I am not here to make judgments or
make people feel bad. I too have been
wrapped up in the animosity that has
become a central part of American
culture.
After all, it is difficult to muster real
international concern when, especially
in Kansas, we can seclude ourselves well
enough to never have to bother with
the actions of countries thousands of
miles away.
This perspective, however, is not
only detrimental to ourselves, but to
our community, our country and our
world as a whole.
If young people dont start paying
attention to the doings of those around
us now, we wont until it becomes too
late, and we are wrapped up in another
war, and hatred towards the U.S. deep-
ens past the monumental levels it has
already reached.
The consequences of American
indifference have already become
apparent to those paying attention.
After Sept. 11, America echoed pleas
of why do they (the Arab world) hate
us?
It only takes the lightest skimming
of international news, or even better,
news by international companies, to
find a multitude of answers.
Americans are notorious for only
looking at one side of thingsour side.
Many people blindly support Israel
over Palestine because American
foreign policy favors Israel, which is
reflected in our media. Many ignore
Chinas overwhelming human rights
violations because China is the larg-
est owner of U.S. debt, and to speak
too negatively of them in our media
might endanger our faulty and danger-
ous relationship with China. If a topic
or perspective is not shown on Fox or
MSNBC, it might as well not exist for
many people.
While what goes on in Tunisia,
Jordan or Cuba might not heavily affect
our immediate future, only foolishness
and irresponsibility pretends that those
actions wont have some impact on our
world and future.
From this point on, I will try to
show you just how events across the
globe affect our community. In a global
world, everything is related whether
in the short or long run. As the next
educated wave of adults entering the
world, we must not underestimate the
importance of being aware of the world
around us and our position in that
world.

International events shed light on national news
internAtiOnAL POLitiCs
lawyer or an active town member?
When fraternity members ar-
gued over the election of the 1889
class orator, Sherman was selected
to fll the role. And when the deci-
sion was made, the shocked parties
consented.
When one of Lawrences most fa-
mous residents, Langston Hughes,
was expelled from Central Junior
High in 1914, Frederick Harvey
led a group to speak on his behalf.
Hughes was reinstated.
Tis would be the brothers des-
tiny: Turning a society structured
to limit their chances into one
full of opportunities.
n n n
When Sherman arrived at the
University on Jan. 2, 1883, he waited
in the chancellors ofce with three
other prospective students white
students and wondered how the
ofce stayed so warmwithout a fre
or a stove.
Te concept of a black face ap-
pearing in a white class was not
impossible or improbable then.
Te frst black KU student enrolled
in 1876, and several others fltered
through in the following years.
But it wasnt until 1885 that the
frst African-American, Blanche
K. Bruce, graduated fromthe Uni-
versity. When Larry Pearce wrote
an article in 1909, he counted only
60 African-American graduates.
More African-Americans took
classes, of course, but many lef
without degrees. Many were also
self-supporting, working as por-
ters, waiters, janitors or maids.
Tey struggled to balance school
and work.
Te Harveys avoided such a fate.
Te school provided opportunity,
and they always remembered the
camaraderie of those days.
But the Universitys race rela-
tions werent harmonious, at least
in certain circles. Te Harveys
didnt talk much about it, but ten-
sion was there. Tension has always
been there.
In an article published in the
weekly student newspaper, Te
University Courier, students ral-
lied around the idea of segrega-
tion. Te students werent opposed
to African-Americans being free.
Its just, blacks still werent whites,
and society made that clear.
When we say that there should
be equality, we do not mean that
there should be community, the
article stated. No matter how
much we contend against the idea,
the fact remains that there is an im-
passible gulf between the races.
Te article was written in 1886,
three years afer Sherman had en-
rolled.
n n n
On Kansas 1889 baseball feld,
where Central Junior High now
stands, Sherman readies himself. In
his senior yearbook, Te Helian-
thus, Sherman is listed as one of two
substitutes on the 11-member team.
Hes also part of the political sci-
ence club, but Te Helianthus
describes the baseball team as the
leading athletic organization in the
University. Now Sherman can add
to that reputation.
With the bases loaded, a hit would
give Kansas a lead.
n n n
Te Harvey brothers grabbed the
opportunities at the University and
held on. Sherman stayed active in
school but kept to himself socially.
Afer graduation, he passed the
Kansas bar and maintained a prac-
tice in the Philippines for 19 years.
He died in 1934.
Frederick, a third baseman, lef
the University to attend Meharry
Medical School in Nashville. He
became a prominent physician
in the black community until his
death in 1923.
Ed used athletics as his platform,
playing center on the football team.
He also played baseball, wrestled
and competed in track and feld.
Later in life, he regularly at-
tended KU football games before
his health prevented him from do-
ing so. He kept in touch with team-
mates until he died in 1953.
Tat was Kansas at its best, said
Bill Tuttle, professor emeritus of
American studies at the University.
But then things changed, especial-
ly for this place with Bleeding Kan-
sas and John Brown and freedom.
Skin color started to matter. Op-
portunities for African-American
students slowly evaporated. Segre-
gation took hold.
Te Harveys had blended in
with the Universitys white crowd.
Tey had their reasons for going to
school, but social change and racial
equality werent among them.
Tey wanted an education to
better themselves. Tey wanted to
carry on their parents fght. And
now the fght had more meaning.
Te Harvey brothers needed to
step out of the shadow.
n n n
In his fnal at bat of the game,
Sherman takes a swing and sends
the ball fying. He ends up on third
with a 3-bagger, as Ed would later
describe it. Shermans hit is the game
winner, and its an important one.
Its the championship of the Tri-
angular League featuring Kansas,
Washburn and Baker. Sherman
shows that winning has no color.
n n n
Te brothers thrust their job ti-
tles and statuses as letter winners in
front of the segregation movement
like a damcontaining a food. Tey
pleaded with Lindley and the Uni-
versitys administration. Tey even
visited Lindley in person to make
their case.
But they didnt stop anything.
Tey couldnt stop anything.
Tey wrote another letter in 1921
seven years afer the original. Still
nothing. And it was then that the
Harveys learned, like so many be-
fore, that change doesnt always
happen quickly. Not even in a town
with progressive roots.
Others would eventually follow
the Harveys on the Universitys
athletic felds, but by the late 1910s
those chances vanished. Two broth-
ers would be dead before another
black athlete played at Kansas.
n n n n n
Epilogue:
Karen Byers, Ed Harveys
granddaughter and a con-
tributing source for this story,
died Jan. 21 at the University
of Kansas Medical Center.
She was 64.
KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / wedNeSdAy, jANuAry 26, 2011 / NEWS / 7A
Te picture shows the 1893
Kansas football team. With only
a date and names penciled on the
front, the photo tells the story of
Ed Harvey and his two brothers
who together helped shape the
Universitys cultural landscape.
Te picture has 19 faces, each
with stoic expressions. Ed Harvey,
Maudes husband, is the youngest
of three brothers. Hes one of the
faces.
Eds lef arm rests gently on a
teammates shoulder. Hell soon be
an active community fgure, but
hell forever hold the memories
from that picture. In the years to
follow, Ed and his brothers, Sher-
man and Frederick, will once again
attempt to take on the University
and its racial barriers, a battle they
started as nave students years be-
fore.
But none of that is apparent in
the picture. Not at this time.
Te portrait is in the simple
black and white style of its time,
and those are the shades that mat-
ter most here. Because one of the
faces and the fuid, sometimes
nonexistent relationship between
the University and its frst black
athletes is the reason the photo
is even relevant today.
Youre not ready for a black face
to be there, Ed Harveys grand-
daughter Karen Byers said in Sep-
tember. But there it is.
n n n
So what happened? Why did
the University accept the Harvey
brothers as students in the 1800s,
then push them away two decades
later? Why did race relations splin-
ter and opportunities disappear?
By 1914, blacks had been banned
from athletics, and the Harveys
pleaded with University ofcials to
change course. Ed wrote a letter to
the KU Board of Administration
asking for answers. At the very
least, he wanted an explanation.
I would like to ask the status of
the Negro in athletics at K.U.? My
understanding is that negroes are
barred from participating in athlet-
ics
Unlike the racial issue of the
time, todays answers to that prob-
lemarent black and white.
Some say an infux of new Af-
rican-Americans to Lawrence were
unfamiliar with racial customs and
traditions. Others say early aboli-
tionists started dying of, and the
new generation didnt sympathize
with the cause.
Te opinions and explanations
are endless, but they all lead to the
same conclusion: Racial discontent
reached a new fervor at the start of
the 20th century. Te open doors
that frst greeted Sherman Harvey
at the University in 1883 slowly
started to close.
Now if these things are true,
and I think they are, is it fair? Has
not the negro student the same right
to show his prowess on the athletic
feld as the white student?
Te young man in Sherman had
sought knowledge through news-
papers, books and whatever other
means available. Chancellor James
Marvin had greeted Sherman
kindly when he arrived at the Uni-
versity in 1883, and he had lef in
the same manner under Chancel-
lor Joshua Lippincott in 1889 upon
graduating.
But as a grown man, the chang-
ing tide of race relations hovered
over Sherman, thick and with deep
implications. Sherman was on a
committee to protest University
discrimination, a group that tar-
geted Chancellor E.H. Lindley, the
man in charge as segregation swept
the campus.
Why have conditions changed?
Te negro formerly participated in
athletics and always with credit to
his school and to himself
Te Harvey brothers were adults
now, with kids and jobs and taxes
to pay, and they knew that the
University had led themthere. But
now the University their Uni-
versity was turning other blacks
away.
Te racism was an undercur-
rent and a tidal wave. People on
both sides thought they were right.
Te Harveys and others thought
blacks deserved equality; Lindley
and his supporters didnt think
blacks could mesh at the Univer-
sity without economic and social
consequences.
My brothers and I helped make
athletics at KU. And as you are
passing on other athletic problems
I would like for you to pass on this
one
Lindley answered Ed Harveys
letter seven days later. He never
addressed the issue.
n n n
Sherman Harvey steps into
the batters box as the only black
member of Kansas baseball
team. Te game is in his hands.
Its 1889, and the score is tied
in the ninth inning. Manager
Alexander Martin Wilcox, a
professor of Greek language and
literature, calls on Sherman.
Tis is his chance.
And if Shermans past reveals
anything, its that he usually
makes good on his chances.

Te idea was stoked long be-
fore that cold winter morning
in 1883 when Sherman walked
six miles across snow-covered
ground to the University where
his past collided with his fu-
ture.
As a boy in the 1870s, he
watched the trains rumble past
Lawrence, pouring clouds of
black smoke into the air, and he
daydreamed. Maybehe could be
a part of that. Maybe he could
tame those iron beasts. Maybe
he could engineer trains.
Sherman soon found that
life deals many hands. Te
source of inspiration can also
be the cruel source of rejection.
His skin color dictated that he
couldnt conduct trains, but
Sherman had something else
going for him, something un-
quantifable but valuable. He
had the backing of parents who
wanted, who insisted, he suc-
ceeded.
Rebecca and David Harvey
had been through the gnawing
life of slavery. Rebecca didnt
know her parents or even her
own name when she was born in
North Carolina. For years, she had
no identity.
Afer traveling from Arkansas
to freed land outside Lawrence in
1863, Rebecca and David share-
cropped on a farm owned by local
sherif Stephen Ogden. Five years
later, theyd saved enough money
to buy a 15-acre patch of land.
Teir land. No one in the Harvey
family ever forgot that.
Only, Rebecca and David knew
a plot of land couldnt close the
racial gap. Tey knew they would
need something else, something
only the University could ofer.

n n n
Rebecca and David Harvey
watched the opening ceremony of
Fraser Hall in 1872, and they start-
ed to formulate a plan. Tey took
in the swirling possibilities, the
talks of opportunity and educa-
tion, and they decided: Teir boys
would attend the school on the hill,
and they would begin the fght.
What Sherman and his brothers
couldnt graspas boys, Rebecca and
David could. Te only way to fght
ignorance to fght the years of la-
bor and felds and servitude was
to use knowledge as a weapon.
Education became the boys
rife, their equalizer. Who couldnt
help but respect a physician or a

Rebecca Brooks Harvey,
the Harvey brothers
mother, was born
in North Carolina
without a name. After
relocating to Arkansas,
a foster mother in
slavery gave her the
name Rebecca Brooks
as a child. She moved
to Lawrence in 1863
with her husband
David Harvey.

Fresman guard Josh Selby
selby fnally had a good showing in a conference
game, going for a team-high 17 points on 50 per-
cent shooting. He also had fve assists against just
one turnover and pulled down four rebounds. selby
is the X-factor for the rest of kansas season, and if he
plays like he did Tuesday, the prognosis is excellent
for the Jayhawks.
Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson
Johnson has had a chance for a couple weeks
now to pick up minutes with Brady morningstar and
Josh selby struggling. Hes failed to take advantage
of it and now, with morningstar and selby seemingly
of the skid, it could be his minutes in jeopardy. His
1-for-3 night from the feld wont get the job done,
but his four assists and zero turnovers were good.
Five times kansas had a 10-point lead, but
never had a larger lead. 5, 10
kansas fve guards had a spectacular 19-to-7
assist-to-turnover ratio.

Sophomore guardTravis Releford gets the KU fans going with only seconds left in the game. Kansas defeated Colorado 82-78.
A
player who had been
anything but electric
since Big 12 play sparked
the Jayhawks offense early in
the game Tuesday night in
Boulder, Colo. The Jayhawks,
who appeared so anemic on the
offensive end of the court last
Saturday against Texas needed
to get the offense back on track
early and often against the high-
scoring Buffaloes. Freshman
guard Josh Selby was the ember
in the Jayhawk fire that got the
offense rolling in the thin air of
the Coors Event Center as the
Jayhawks won 82-78.
The Jayhawks needed a guard
to step up and counter the strong
Colorado backcourt led by Cory
Higgins and Alec Burks. Higgins
and Burks combine for 35.7
points a game.
Well, Burks is a pro and
Higgins will probably be a pro,
coach Bill Self said before the
game. I think theyre the top
scoring duo in our league and
probably as good of wings that we
have in our conference.
Burks and Higgins both had
strong nights, scoring 25 and 19
respectively. Bu the Jayhawks had
an answer on Tuesday against
the resilient Buffaloes. Selby led
Kansas in scoring, finishing with
17. Selby was active early, scoring
15 of his points in the first half.
Selby had not been this aggressive
since the Miami (OH) game on
Jan. 2, in which Selby scored 18.
A player in his freshman
year is obviously going to go up
and down, senior guard Brady
Morningstar said. I just tell him
to keep being aggressive, because
if you are not aggressive that is
not going to help out the team.
These are the kinds of efforts
Kansas is going to need from the
highly touted freshman. Selby
was effective in multiple ways
on offense, driving to the lane,
hitting the three, and finding
the open man. Selby was seven-
of-14 from the field, three-of-six
from the three and also had five
assists.
Selby and the rest of the
Jayhawks shot well, going 50.9
percent from the field and hit-
ting 10 three-pointers. The free
throw shooting rebounded from
Saturdays effort as well; the team
was 14-of-18 from the line and
made their final seven on the
night.
Selby also contributed four
rebounds in a game that the
Jayhawks dominated on the glass.
The Jayhawks outrebounded
Colorado 35-19. The rebounds
were a crucial component in the
Jayhawk victory.
The energy in Boulder was
electric, and the Jayhawks come
out of the mountains with a
tough victory.
I think every year that Ive
been here theyve been tough.
senior guard Tyrel Reed said. Its
a good atmosphere and a good
place to play.
Kansas is going to continue to
need a strong offensive perfor-
mance from one of the guards
if they want to continue win-
ning on the road in tough Big 12
environments. Selby is going to
have to be that extra spark for the
Jayhawks. If he can continue to
score double digits, Tyrel Reed
is going to be able to have more
room to hit the threes and the
Morris Twins are going to have
less pressure on them to score
inside. Selby can be the guard
who can put the Jayhawks over
the top and lead the team to a
seventh consecutive Big 12 title.

Kansas uniforms. It reads LR in
white letters, a small tribute to Lisa
Robinson, Thomas late mother.
Thats just out of respect,
Morris said. I feel like we lost a
team mom.
Even when Thomas is nowhere
to be found, his teammates now
bear a reminder of him and his
family less than a foot away from
their hearts. F.O.E., as they say.
Family over everything.
I dont think were the most
energized group ever, Self said
after what was another emotional
victory. But I do think that our
attitudes were good and our heads
were right.
After tapping the patch for the
last two times, Morris hit maybe
the two biggest free throws of his
season. They stretched the lead to
the final four-point margin inside
five seconds, and essentially ended
the game.
Guys did a good job, stepped
up to the line and knocked down
our free throws, senior guard Tyrel
Reed said.
But Morris wasnt the only
one hitting shots Tuesday night.
After games-long slumps for each,
Josh Selby (17 points) and Brady
Morningstar (14) found their
scoring form. The prodigal sons
returned.
Hes been working his tail off,
Self said of Morningstar. And it
was also good to see Josh be aggres-
sive. Josh hasnt been aggressive at
all, and on the first play of the game
he gets right into the lane and gets
Tyrel an easy open look. Those two
were great.
Selby had his best game since
a 7-of-12, 18-point game against
Miami (OH). Considering the level
of competition, it might have been
his best game yet in a Kansas uni-
form.
Thats huge for him, you know?
Morningstar said. First half, he
came out hot, and thats what we
needed. He hasnt been like that for
a while, and its good for him to get
his stuff rolling, because I know
Saturday were going to need him
and for the rest of the season were
going to need him.
And for the rest of the season,
less than a foot away from their
hearts, there will be that LR
patch.

Sophomore shot putter Mason
Finley surely made his father proud
when he recorded the top throw
in the world so far this year at the
KU-MU duel on Jan. 14. With a
throw of 67 feet, 11.5 inches, Finley
also broke a 40-year-old KU record
set by Karl Salb in 1970, according
to a Kansas Athletic Department
press release.
My dad threw at Wyoming.
Finley said. He trained me and I
wanted to throw because of him.
The Jayhawks discovered Finley
before the beginning of his senior
year at Buena Vista High School
in Colorado when throwing coach
Andy Kokhanovsky saw Finley
compete at the Junior Olympics in
California. While at Buena Vista,
Finley threw the discus 236 feet,
6 inches, which is a national high
school record. In fact, Kokhanovsky
said that Finley is better in the dis-
cus, an event held during the out-
door track season.
Kokhanovsky and Finley devel-
oped a rapport through the recruit-
ing process, but Finley decided to
sign with UCLA after also con-
sidering Kansas, Missouri, Texas
A&M and Arizona State. The loca-
tion, warm weather and coaching
staff were the deciding factors in
Finleys choice. After signing a letter
of intent with the Bruins, however,
their coach was fired, causing Finley
to reconsider.
I didnt know who UCLA was
going to bring in, Finley said.
Coach Andy was the guy to go
with.
After being released from his let-
ter of intent by UCLA, Finley signed
with the Jayhawks, where Finleys
talent and knowledge impressed
Kokhanovsky.
He was really talented physique-
wise, and his dad did a great job
with him, Kokhanovsky said.
Once arriving in college,
Kokhanovsky was still able to outline
ways that Finley could improve.
Technique was the really big
thing that Coach helped me with
a lot, Finley said, who has been
throwing since the sixth grade.
I hadnt done anything like the
weights we do here.
After more than a year under
Kokhanovsky, Finleys technique is
second nature for him, which is vital
to his success.
If you think about your tech-
nique, youll throw it badly. You
have to trust your muscle memory
and be relaxed, because theres a lot
of adrenaline, Finley said.
Entering the dual, the third meet
of his sophomore campaign, Finley
was aiming to
throw 64 feet.
After releas-
ing his throw,
Finley thought
he could exceed
that goal.
The throw
met the A
Q u a l i f y i n g
mark for the
2011 World
Championships
and 2012 Summer Olympics.
Finley is not guaranteed a spot in
either of those competitions, but
now that he has hit the A mark,
he has his path laid out for him.
According to Kokhanovsky, after
hitting the A mark, a thrower needs
to place in the top three at the
U.S. Championships to qualify for
the World Championships or the
Olympics.
While it is certainly not a simple
task to qualify for either of those
competitions, both Finley and
Kokhanovsky believe Finley can do
it, and he knows the ways in which
he can continue to improve.
I want to lose about 30 pounds,
because you can hold yourself in dif-
ferent positions and move through
the ring faster, Finley said.
Kokhanovsky was impressed
by Finleys competitive drive and
noted that there are only minor
technical things that Finley can
improve.
Its a great thing, the way he
competes. If he competes like
this then the skys the limit,
Kokhanovsky said.
Coach Stanley Redwine was
pleased with the entire teams
performance in the Dual, but was
especially impressed by Finleys
performance.
The MU meet was a total
team effort. But you have to single
Mason out, Redwine said. To win
the weight throw was one thing,
but to do what he did in the shot
put was special.
Redwine was
also pleased
with the shape
his team is in
this early in
the season. He
noted that in
the Jayhawks
first meet back
from break,
the Bill Easton
Classic on Jan.
8, the coaches
wanted to see how the athletes
trained over break. The teams
success against Missouri was due
in large part to the training the
athletes did during Winter Break
to stay in shape. Redwine said he
wasnt surprised that Finley won
the shot put, but he was surprised
at how far he threw it, and credited
his offseason training.
Hes throwing it farther than he
did at the end of last year. Usually
things go backward at the begin-
ning of the year and then get bet-
ter, Redwine said.

ARNING: YOU MIGHT BE
ANGRY WITH ME AFTER
READING THIS.
Let me ask you a question. What
team is currently ranked No. 1 in bas-
ketball?
If you said Ohio State, youre cor-
rect. If you said The Ohio State, you are
either from Ohio or are a Buckeyes fan.
The Buckeyes and their fans, in my
humble opinion, are the only ones
allowed to point in a camera and say
they are No. 1 at the moment. The
current polls came out Monday with
OSU ranked No. 1 in both the AP and
Coaches polls.
How far did Kansas fall after its loss
to Texas? If you said sixth, youre right
again.
Ive seen it time and again, where
fans will point with their index fingers
and yell that their team is number one
when a camera comes by. Every fan is
guilty of it who has had the opportunity
to do it. Ill admit, Ive done it too, but
Im not proud of it.
I would love to have seen Kansas fans
holding up two fingers and shouting
Jayhawks instead of saying theyre
number one. Doing an upside down
Hook em Horns would have been
enough justice. Anything but saying
were number one when its further
from the truth.
The next opportunity Jayhawk fans
have is on Saturday against Kansas
State. Now ranked number six, it would
be appropriate to show six fingers. Its
difficult to do because it means the use
of two hands, unless youre Antonio
Alfonseca, who is currently a Major
League Baseball free agent. If youre
asking yourself if Alfonseca has six fin-
gers on each of his hands, youre correct
again.
Sure, Kansas was number onelast
year, but that doesnt mean the team
wont be back, because I guarantee it
will be. I just dont know when. And
there are a handful of teams that could
say they are number one in their con-
ference, but thats not fair to Ohio State,
the real number one.
Kansas will get back to the prom-
ised land of being atop the national
polls during the season, but thats not
what matters. The number one rank-
ing is only a bulls-eye. Its the team
that everybody wants to defeat. Really,
teams want to be ranked number one at
the end of the season, signaling they are
the national champions.
Be proud to show six fingers, because
thats how many championships Kansas
will have if it wins in 2011.

Garrett walks on
to Jayhawks roster
Freshman guard Christian Gar-
rett will be the newest addition
to the Kansas mens basketball
team in the 2011-12 season. Gar-
ret, a transfer from IMG Academy
in Bradenton, Florida, will prac-
tice with the team this Spring.
Were excited and looking
forward to having Christian as a
member of our basketball team,
Bill Self said in a press release.
He and
his family
notifed us
that this
is where
Christian
wanted
to begin
and get his
education from the university of
Kansas and we think he will be a
great asset.
A native of Los Angeles, the
63 guard averaged 14 points,
seven assists, and 6.3 rebounds
for IMG Academy. Garrett was
productive playing for Belmont
Shore AAu, the same AAu pro-
gram center Jef Withey played
for.
Garret qualifed for the Top
50 at the Pangos All-American
Camp and was a Top 25 pick
on the Fullcourt Press All-West
Camp.

Hazell helps Pirates bring
losing streak to an end
associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Jeremy
Hazell led a long-range Seton Hall
barrage with 28 points and the
Pirates stunned No. 9 Syracuse
90-68 on Tuesday night, the
Oranges third straight loss.
Syracuse (18-3, 5-3 Big East) had
lost two straight to top 10 confer-
ence foes, on the road at Pittsburgh
a week ago and on Saturday at
home to Villanova before a
crowd of 33,736. In both games
the Orange fell behind early
Pittsburgh scored the first 19 points
of the game and Villanova hit eight
3-pointers in the first half.
That trend continued against
Seton Hall (9-12, 3-6), which had
lost three straight. The Pirates
torched Syracuses zone defense for
seven 3s in the first half, four by
Hazell, and built a 13-point half-
time lead.
Seton Hall finished 10 of 17 from
beyond the arc and shot 54.1 per-
cent for the game while holding
Syracuse to 5 of 21 from long range
and a season-low 36.1 percent from
the field.
Jordan Theodore had 19 points
on 7-of-10 shooting for the Pirates.
Fuquan Edwin had 13 points, Jeff
Robinson 12 and Herb Pope 10.
Kris Joseph led Syracuse with 17
points. Rick Jackson had 12 points
and 11 rebounds, his 14th double-
double of the season. Scoop Jardine
and Brandon Triche each had 11
points.
After their first meeting 17 days
ago, a sloppy 61-56 Syracuse vic-
tory, Orange coach Jim Boeheim
winced at the stat sheet. The Pirates
missed all 17 3-point attempts in
the first half.
It was a much different story on
Tuesday, and Boeheim was wincing
again. Seton Hall hit its first three
from beyond the arc, two by Hazell,
and led 26-15 on Theodores 3 from
the right wing with 12:07 left.
And they werent through. In the
final 6 minutes of the half, Seton
Hall slowed the pace to a crawl and
the strategy paid big dividends.
Hazell drained two 3s from the
wing, the second at the shot clock
buzzer, and Theodore followed
with another all three in a span
of less than 2 minutes to put the
Pirates up 37-23 with 3:49 left.
The Pirates extended the lead to
50-30 on Hazells steal and layup
early in the second half as Syracuse
missed its first six shots before
Jardine finally hit a 3 from the wing
at 15:31, the Oranges second in 11
tries from beyond the arc.
In its first two losses, Syracuse
rallied both times, scoring 17
straight points against Pitt and pull-
ing within four points of Villanova
in the closing minutes after trail-
ing by as many as 14. There was
no rally against Seton Hall, which
never allowed the Orange to get
closer than 17 in the second half as
the Orange faithful began leaving
early, a rarity in the Carrier Dome.

COLUMBUS, Ohio If
this was a big test, then No. 1
Ohio State aced it.
William Buford had 19
points, Jared Sullinger added
17 and No. 1 Ohio State played
almost flawlessly in rolling
past No. 12 Purdue 87-64 on
Tuesday night.
Jon Diebler had 13 points
and a career-high eight
rebounds, Deshaun Thomas
added 13 points, David Lighty
scored 10 points and Aaron
Craft had 11 points and six
assists for Ohio State (21-0,
8-0 Big Ten), which ran its
record to 62-4 all-time when
atop the polls.
The Buckeyes and No. 4 San
Diego State (20-0) are the only
unbeaten teams remaining in
Division I.
JaJuan Johnson had 22
points for Purdue (17-4, 6-2).
Ohio State, which shot 55
percent from the field and hit
11 of 19 3-pointers, used an
11-0 first-half run to take con-
trol and never let up.
The victory puts the
Buckeyes up by two games
in the Big Ten. After several
close calls in conference play,
they had yet to really blow out
a team. They chose a high-
profile game against a quality
opponent to do just that.
Ahead by 20 points at half-
time after shooting 57 percent
from the field and making 6
of 9 3-pointers, they kept it up
even as Purdue turned up the
pressure in the second half.
Late in the shot clock, with
the Boilermakers scrambling
to get back in the game, the
6-foot-9 Sullinger even tossed
in a 3 to the delight of a near-
capacity crowd of 17,556.

season average of 46.3 percent.
Sophomore forward Carolyn
Davis led the way with 16 points
in the game.
There is a
big difference
from playing
in the Big 12
and non-con-
ference, senior
guard Angel
Goodrich said.
Big 12 play-
ers are always
strong and
quick. Once
you get into
Big 12 play
everyone knows who you are and
what you are going to do.
Missouri could be Kansas
big chance to rebound, as the
Tigers have also struggled, going
one-and-four in conference play
and winning only nine games on
the season to date. Last season
Kansas swept Missouri in the sea-
son series, winning at home 72-59
and in Columbia 61-59.
The Jayhawks will look to
Davis and junior forward Aishah
Sutherland to lead the team out
of its slump. Davis is averaging 18
points per game and 8.2 rebounds
per game. Sutherland is averaging
10.6 points per game and is tied
for first in the Big 12 confer-
ence averaging 8.9 rebounds per

Brown is aver-

points and
6.5 boards on
the season.
Missouri has
been a much
better team
at home, posting a 6-2 record
in Columbia, compared to a 3-8
record on the road.
Kansas will look to improve
its free throw shooting against
Missouri. The Jayhawks shot only
59.4 percent against Oklahoma
on Sunday.
The reason we are getting to
the free throw line is because we
are aggressive and we do attack
and we get the ball inside, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. We
have to be able to knock those
down.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BY TIM DWYER

I could tell you that I know
how to solve Thomas Robinsons
problem of how to find care for
his little sister while sustaining
his college basketball career, but
then I would be lying. I have
no idea. Who does? How could
anyone know what Thomas
Robinson is going through?
All of a sudden, at 19 years
old, Robinson has to find a way
to raise his 9-year-old sister Jayla,
be it by himself or with the help
of whatever friends and family he
has left.
Were not saying whats best
for her, coach Bill Self said,
admitting that they dont know
what will happen with Jayla. We
dont know whats best for her. All
I know is I want Thomas to be
comfortable with whats best for
her. Thomas is all she knows.
As you likely well know if
youre reading, youve probably
been a part of it theres been
a remarkable outpouring of sup-
port from Kansas, Kansas State,
Missouri,Texas and Colorado
fans, and support from every-
one who has crossed paths
with Robinsons tragic story.
But the support has, thus far at
least, been limited to words and
thoughts,while there are plenty
who might wish to do more.
Now, there is the Lisa Robinson
Scholarship Fund, which the
NCAA has allowed Thomas to set
up in the name of his little sister.
Following precedent, the
NCAA has allowed financial aid
from outside the typical means
of support (family, scholarships)
if the money is given in the form
of donations to a trust fund
established in Robinsons younger
sisters name.
The case of Ray Ray
McElrathbey, a former Clemson
running back, established the
precedent. McElrathbey took cus-
tody of his 11-year-old brother
Fahmarr from his oft-incarcer-
ated father and drug-addicted
mother. As an NCAA athlete,
he didnt have any financial
means to support his brother,
and didnt have the spare time to
work a job to help with costs. But
McElrathbey knew that the envi-
ronment he could provide would
be better than the one his parents
could.
So he appealed to the NCAA to
be allowed financial aid, and he
was allowed to start the Fahmarr
McElrathbey trust fund, which
still helps support Fahmarr, who
is now 17.
Whether Robinson chooses to
raise his sister himself or not, the
fund is a logical course of action.
Fans who wish to help are now
able to contibute more than kind
words and thoughts and prayers,
too, for the religious among you.
Now that the day has finally
come, keep your hearts open.
And your wallets.
