Skyline of KU to lose stack in the spring
By KIRK KAHLER
Staff writer
KU's 257-foot smokestack will be demolished and replaced with two 15-foot smokestacks in the spring, the University director of facilities planning said yesterday.
Allen Wiechert, the director, said the smokestack, which is behind Stauffer-Flint Hall, could be torn down in April or sooner.
"It all depends on the heating need," he said.
The smokestack has been operating at the University since 1921 and is used to discharge residue from the burning oil or natural gas fuel used to create steam in the power plant's boilers.

Contributions to the Kansas University Endowment Association decreased by about 4 percent in the 1963-86 fiscal year, but the number of donors, money allocated for scholarships and investment income increased significantly.
According to the Endowment Association's annual report, released yesterday, 32,326 donors contributed $13.4 million to the Endowment Association to support the University. This figure is down from $13.9 million contributed by 30,000 donors in 1984-95

"From a future standpoint, these modest donations are a key factor." Seymour said. "It gets people into the habit of giving, and these people will probably give more later, when they are able."
However, Seymour said he was concerned that the tax reform law that President Reagan signed recently, in addition to the state of the Kansas economy, would discourage possible donors.

McDonald quietly challenges Dole
By Anne Gowen
Voters in Kansas may not even be aware of the U.S. Senate campaign between Guv
McDonald, a Wichita Democrat, and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, the three-term Republican incumbent.
Each side has politely refused to do battle with the other, in sharp contrast to a mud-slinging Missouri Senate race between Democrat Harriet Woods and Republican Kit Bond.
Bob Dole

Incumbent
Dole, 63, is not scheduled to appear in Kansas until a week before the election. McDonald, who doesn't believe in paid political advertising, has spent less than $2,000 on the campaign so far.
McDonald, 46, running on a platform of campaign reform, has called for the elimination of all political action committees and paid political advertisements.
Dole said that, although he agreed that candidates spent too much money on campaigns, he saw no perfect solution to the problem.
"If you cut political action campaigns, then what do you do about other special interest groups?" Dole said recently. "It would not be fair to industry."

McDonald has also called for federal financing of election
campaigns. Dole called McDonald's solution unrealistic and said it would place an unfair burden on taxpayers.
McDonald said. "The people have the right to an elected official whose sole intent is to work for the people. Once a candidate receives special funding, he becomes an employee of that group."
Dole has been unable to appear in Kansas because until recently the hectic weeks of Congress had demanded much of his time. This has made campaigning difficult for McDonald, who hoped to have a forum for his views in a debate with Dole.

McDonald said that, although he faces a tough battle ahead, he will not attack Dole or his
When Dole comes to Kansas at the end of this week, he will be campaigning for Mike Hayden. Republican candidate for governor, not debating McDonald, according to Walter Riker, Dole's press secretary.
"Dole's record speaks for itself." McDonald said. "It's up to the constituents to make the right decision."
McDonald sees things differently. He said Dole had passed up several opportunities to debate. For example, he said, at a League of Women Voters forum Sept. 22 in Wichita, Dole sent a representative to speak on his behalf.
Dole received national attention when he was Gerald Ford's running mate in the 1976 presidential election. He was elected chairman of the Senate Finance Committee in 1980 and senate majority leader in November 1984.
"No debate has been requested." Riker said.
Dole has long been considered a staunch conservative in the Senate. In 1985, he voted for positions President Reagan supported 92 percent of the time.
He holds committee appointments on the Finance Committee, the Joint Committee on Taxation and the Agriculture Committee.
McDonald called the farm crisis a man-made problem initiated by the federal government. He said the government should gradually subsidize the farmers so that they could
Despite the agricultural position, Dole has been criticized in the past for not doing enough for the state's farmers. Last year, several farmers serving on his agricultural advisory board resigned in disgust when they learned they were to be paid with Dole's re-election campaign funds.
McDonald has not held an elected office. He is currently living off investment returns in order to conduct the campaign. He has lived in Kansas since 1972, and has been employed by

Dole said he looked at the farm crisis every day. He said that, because of the increase in farm productivity, the only way to help the farmers was to increase exports.
He held a series of jobs — working for a brokerage firm, teaching in a New Jersey high school — before moving to Wichita in 1972.
Dole, a Russell native, was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1950. In 1960, he was elected to the U.S. House and in 1968 began his Senate career.
