ED LLOYD'S NOEL
The semester is winding down and summer break is on the horizon. This is the second to last Jayplay issue of the semester and my final Jayplay editor's note, as well as my last semester at KU after five glorious years of being a student. I don't want to get all sentimental so I'll just say what's on my mind.
This has been a crazy week. A long-needed feeling of relief has washed over this country now that the decade-long search for Osama Bin Laden is over. Hearing the news Sunday night lifted a weight off of me that I had forgotten was there. We, as a country, have been living with that weight since 2001. I heard people cheering in the streets outside of my apartment. I heard fireworks and car horns. I watched on TV as people rejoiced in the death of a man that has brought so much pain to this country. People of all colors, faiths and backgrounds have come together again, even if it is for a brief moment.
Alexandra's story on page 5 is about having civil conversations to resolve conflicts that arise. While the focus of her story is on personal relationships with family, friends
and loved ones, I think the information she presents could be used when focusing on the bigger picture as well.
All politics aside, I, for one, am tired of the partisan name-calling, left/right, liberal/conservative, us-vs-them, socialist/nazi, bierth, muslim/christian, hateful nonsense that has been dominating the discourse on both sides for far too long. I think it's time we start having civil discussions and actively listen to each other to create a positive solution for this country. I think it's time we make amends and realize that we can actually agree on things and work together on the issues we might disagree on. I think fear is not an issue if we help one another regardless of race, religion, politics, etc. Let's rejoice in the fact that we are united and let's continue to heal the wounds that have remained open for the past 10 years. I think we owe each other that.
That's my two cents.
P. S. It's been fun editing Jayplay for you. I wish you all the best, and I hope your summer is a good one. Check out the photo feature on the KU club baseball team on page 8 and get ready for summer ball games. Good luck on finals in the next couple of weeks. Maybe I'll see you at a Royal's game or Free State when the weather's nice. Until then... happy trails.

"I've always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
the miner House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the areas only remnants of the Underground Railroad.
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.
A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.
The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
"In the summer, the trees get real
full and there's less people. You
hear."
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.
many of the community's buildings. But the residence has history with William Quantrill himself, a Confederate guerrila leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.

"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night.' That's a little weird,' Dailey said.
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid." Dailey said. "The work that we've put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.

begin their prison time
Kassie Liebsch, former systems analyst for the department, is serving her 37-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Greenville, Ill.
Her projected release date, according the Bureau of Prisons' website, is Jan. 7, 2014.
Rodney Jones, former director of the Williams Fund, is spending his 46-month sentence in a minimum-security camp for men in El Reno, Okla. His expected release date is not listed.
Co-defendants in the case Charlette Blubaugh, former associate athletics director in charge of tickets, and her husband, Tom, a former consultant to the department, are still awaiting their detainment destinations. Charlette Blubaugh was sentenced to 57 months and Tom to 46 months.
