Basketball star helps Lawrence children
by Marian Weeks
Kansan staff writer
Clyde Lovellette, who set a basketball record even Danny Manning never broke, spoke at a fundraiser Friday night for the South Rivers youthouth Rockies which tries to help boys break into successful lives.
Talking about his days in college and professional basketball, Clyde Lovellette, former KU and NBA basketball player, spoke at a fund-raising banquet for the O'Connell Youth Ranch in Lawrence. Lovellette spoke to a crowd of about 200 people Friday night in the Ballroom at the Kansas Union.
Lovellette is the only basketball player to have played on the winning NCAA championship team and been high scorer in the nation the same year. He averaged 28.4 points a game in 1952.
In 1952, Lovellette helped Kansas coach Phog Allen win the first NCAA championship for the University of Kansas, and the U.S. Olympic team win a gold medal. He played on three winning NBA teams, once with the Minnesota Lakers and twice with the Boston Celtics. He is one of five basketball teams to hold all these distinctions.
Lovellette told almost 200 people at the Ballroom of the Kansas Union, including the young men of the O'Connell Youth Ranch and their houseparents, about his memories of Allen, his team, his 11 years in the NBA and his life after professional basketball.
"We were a family," Lovellette said of the Kansas team and Allen. As a professional player, Lovellette said he was paid $15,000 a year, given $4 a day for food on the couch in the six foot banks on teams.
After professional basketball, Lovelle was a radio sports announcer and a sheriff who 'carried' the story of an armed cattle he coated cattle and was an antique dealer in Cape Cod, Mass.
Lovellette said he found his occupation 11 years ago when he was asked to coach for a Catholic high school in New Bedford, Conn. He knew he wanted to work with young people, he said.
But the next year, after hearing that the school was going to close, Lovette drove 50 miles home from New Bedford to Cape Cod wondering, again, what he would do next, he said.
A light filled the car and he heard a voice say, "Everything will be all right." he said.
When he got home, his wife handed him an envelope about White's Institute in Wabash, Ind., a Quaker school.
"When you say Quakers, the only thing I could think of was wats." Lovellette said.
But soon he was coaching at White's Institute, and he has worked there for the past 10 years.
His wire, Judy Lovelle, said her husband started and directed the vocational training program at White's.
The Lowelettes, whose five child
children are grown, have taken three
tochter children temporarily, said
they also works with White's institute.
Most of the children they have worked with hate themselves because they believe that the enemy is their home and that homes are their own fort, she said.
Perennial winner triumphs over KU in college bowl
The children, who often have been battered and abused sexually, trust only each other because they understand and do not judge each other. Lovellette said.

Financing would rise

ley, Nanemaker senator and Lawrence sophomore. "The requests for the transportation were excessive."
The Graduate Student Council's request for $14,186 was tentatively cut to $73,075; an increase of $14,000 from this year's budget.
Several reasons for the cut were given, including special projects of the council growing too quickly, large payroll expenses and an excessive budget for supplies and expenses.
"They are not showing justification for their increase," Shirling said.
A request of $327,000 for KU Recreational Services was tentatively cut to $149,622. However, that would be a 44 percent increase over this year's budget. Recreational services received $97,317 in fiscal 1989.
Recreational Services include intramural activities.
In other action at the hearing badges of other groups were ten tatively cut:
KJHJ. KU's student-run radio station, had its $68.67 budget to cut to $9.81, a 50 percent increase from this year < budget
■ Associated Students of Kansas

cut to $2.96, plus $1.60 more than
this year's budget.
■ Legal Services for students' request of $182,717 was reduced tentatively to $169,717, an increase of more than $33,000 from fiscal 1989.
■ Recreational Facilities, the management group that maintains Robinson Center and other student recreation facilities, had its $192,000 request tentatively cut to $112,500.
"This first round is easiest because we can see where we need to cut," Shirling said. "But it'll be tough from now on."
