Washington shoots for goals
- Continued from p. 1
“That’s when she first planted in my mind that college might be a possibility,” Washington said. “And I probably would have gone out and my friends were placed if I were for her,
Washington was not prepared to finance her education when she entered what was formerly called West Chester State College in her hometown of West Chester,
"My first year in college, I worked from 11 p.m. to 7 in the morning, and it just about destroyed my college career," she said.
"I just believe that He (God) drove me because there were times when I didn't know why I was still in school." Washington said. "I had a lot of laughs at 7 a.m. I wasn't pulling the grades that I needed to, and I was hitting brick walls."
They didn't have scholarships then. She worked at a factory that produced plastic bags.
Attending a predominately white university was isolating. Washington said.
"I can remember maybe seeing five
other blacks when I was walking to classes. "she said."
Washington said she had many acquaintances but few close friends, and she found it difficult to communicate with white students from more affluent backgrounds.
"Nobody realized that I was walking home maybe five blocks away, and maybe I had electricity and maybe I didn't," she said.
She received her bachelor of science degree in physical education and adminis-
torate.
In 1974, Washington became KU women's athletic director and established the women's track team, becoming its coach.
Washington had been teaching physical education at Martin Luther King Junior High School in Kansas City. Mo., before she led KU students' basketball team in 1973.
She earned a master's degree in biodynamics and administration at KU in 1975.
Washington said her parents had taught her not to discriminate against other girls.
problems with racism until moving to the Midwest.
"I think that I really got hit with it when I came here," she said. "Because as one of the first black women in a very high-profile situation, I found that my first few years here were very difficult for me and very painful."
But race-related issues must be discussed, she said.
"My relationship with my black players and my white players — that's important for them to see." Washington said. "I love all of my players, and I will not tolerate from my black players and disrespect toward their white sisters or vice versa."
Washington said she sometimes did not know if officials discriminated against her.
"I'm a Christian, and I think that everything that's happened to me has been a blessing," Washington said. "And I believe I can impact a lot of young lives in my community. I am thankful for struggles and when they think it's impossible for them to reach certain goals."
Artists share studio space

The search for a space to do other large works of art led Herd to turnhalle Studios four years ago. He said he was driving around looking for a large space to work in with someone unloading a truck near the studio. He told the would be interested in leasing some space.
“There are so many people doing so many diverse things. It’s a great place to go to bounce ideas of each other,” Herd said. “It’s also a good place to go on a Friday evening to sit around and philosopize. We do that a lot.”
The building is owned by Rod Ernst, Lawrence resident, but Jackson deals with all the subleasing. He estimates that rent for $100 each of each artist ranges from $5 to $100 a month.
The building that is now full with artists was once full with athletes.
Turner Hall, the building's former name, was built in 1869 by German-Americans living in Lawrence. It served as their social center until the turn of the century, the name of the building is based on Turner
Clubs, which were German-American men's gymnastic clubs formed throughout the country.
The building cost $5,000. After it was finished, the community acquired an eight-block area on Delaware Street for a beer garden.
The first floor of the building had a fully equipped gymnasium, with a balcony on one end for spectators and a stage on the other for dramatic performances in German.
In the basement was a bar where beer, soda and sandwiches were served. Card Keepsake box in the corner.
Although Turner Hall was popular among the German community, it closed down during World War I when anti-German sentiment was strong in the United States.
The building went through many changes after the war. In 1938, it was the Douglas County center for distribution of federal food baskets and client clients. It later served as a state armory.
The Salvation Army had an outlet store in the building until 1965. It moved out when Audio House, a record company, moved in and started recording.
