Old smokey will be a missed KU landmark
Staff writer
By PAUL BELDEN
For more than a half-century the tall, slim sexagenarian has worked for the University of Kansas department of facilities and operations.
His job was to remove waste from the number 7 and 8 boilers at the KU power plant. He also helped many out-of-towners find the University. He did these chores unfairly, seven days a week.
He had one vice, however: he smoked quite a bit. . like a chimney, in fact.
But University officials didn't need him anymore. They were a team of hikers, both gosh. goh. goh.

The work of this gang of tannee assassins can be seen or heard from almost anywhere on campus. Chunk by chunk, the KU smokestack is dying a slow death.
Richard Perkins, associate director of utility management for KU facilities and operations, said demolition began June 3 and that the contractors, working six days a week, should have the smokestack completely torn down in about seven weeks, depending on the weather.
Two smokestacks reaching 15 feet above the roof of the power plant will replace the 245-foot tail stack, which is a KU landmark since 1923, he said.
But, he said, "We were able to coordinate the efforts differently than originally planned."
Part of the reason was to make it more likely that all the work will be completed and all the boilers will be on line before cold weather comes, Anderson said.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities and operations, said he originally planned to have contractors finish the internal work on the two boilers.
ing than heating," he said.
"It's easier to reduce air condition-
Perkins said that the two boilers receiving new smokestacks should be operable by Oct.15,depending on the weather.
Until then, the two boilers now on line should have no problems handling the work load this summer and fall, he said.
"One of the boilers can handle most of the summer heat. In winter, however, we'll have both of them up to full operational capabilities, and sometimes a third," he said.
Workers are proceeding by digging out 4-feet-square sections of the smokestack, cutting reinforcing steel bars imbedded in the concrete, then letting the sections fall into the smokestack, Perkins said. The rubble is being dumped at the KU landfill west of Iowa Street.
As of yesterday, about 40 feet of the smokestack had been torn down, Perkins said, but as the stack gets higher, it is likely to cause the base is thicker than the top.
Jim Modig, associate director of construction administration, said that the new, shorter stokestakks would increase the boilers' efficient-
"We don't have to force that air up that extra 100 or 200 feet," he said.
He said people on campus would not have to worry about breathing in pesticides.
"There has been a series of computer models run by the Department of Health," he said. "The stack heights are well within the limits that the department set. There should not be any adverse environmental effects."
Workers from the Gerrard Chimney Co., St. Louis, remove bricks from atop the 245-foot smokestack. The smokestack, which was built in 1923, will be replaced by two smaller smokestacks.
But the smokestack's razing will have at least one unfavorable effect, and Anderson knows it.
After the smokestack is gone, he said, "I don't know how I'm going to be telling people how to get to my office."

A woman identifying herself as a nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital has been phoning Lawrence residents and asking them about their genitals.
Judith Heffley, director of community relations for the hospital, said the caller was not affiliated with the hospital in any way and that victims of the calls should report them to the police.
Lynn Ross, Lawrence graduate student, said she received a call June 2 from a woman who said she was conducting a survey for the hospital.
"I asked about the purpose of the "survey, and she stumbled and said it would be put on file for future reference." Ross said when I asked so-called information interested in, she said information about height, weight and genitals."
Ross said, "I was positive something was wrong andug up."She then called the hospital and discovered no such survey was in progress.
Heffey said, "The woman asks extremely inappropriate questions. We have already been called eight to 10 times with complaints."
Because the caller hasn't called the hospital, tracing the calls would be difficult. Heffley said.
"These are nuisance-type calls that are embarrassing to the hospital," he said. "It's a female caller individual, who is nurse with course one of the hospital's labs."
Lawrence Police Sgt. Don Dalquest said no calls had been reported to police, but he had spoken with Helflev about the problem.
Dave Nichols, community relations manager of the Southwestern Bell business office in Lawrence, said, "Last year, more than 100 such arrests and convictions were made in Kansas in cooperation with Southwestern Bell security officers.
"I haven't heard a call myself, but I know they aren't threatening but just a crank." Hefflev said.
New vice chancellor selected
"Violations of the law are serious, and we want to do our best to help law enforcement to protect customers against telephone abuse." Nichols said.
Making obscene or indecent telephone calls with the intent to harass is a misdemeanor, punishable by a possible fine of $2500, up to one year imprisonment in the county jail or both, Dalquest said.
Dalquest said the woman told victims that her name was Nurse Jennings, but Heffley said there was not a nurse by that name at the hospital.

For the first time, a woman will be the executive vice chancellor for the University of Kansas Lawrence campus.
Judith A. Ramaley, acting executive vice president for academic affairs at the State University of New York at Albany, was selected for the job from 55 candidates, said Del Shankel, chairman of the executive vice chancellor search committee.
Dalquest advises anyone receiving the harassing phone calls to hang up.

When Ramaley begins her duties Aug. 1, she will be the second-highest ranking administrator on campus.
Chancellor Budig announced Ramaley's appointment at the all-University supper May 16.
She will repiase Shankel, who has been the acting executive vice chancellor for the KU campus since January, when the resignation of Robert Cobb, professor of English, took effect.
Vaggalis said her enormous understanding of faculty and student needs and her enthusiasm were "catching and inspiring."
Smith said she was impressed by the fact that several of Ramaley's colleagues at SUNY-Albany told in their recommendations how sorry they were to lose her.
Ted Vaggaila, Lincoln, Neb., graduate student and a search committee member, said Ramaley was an outstanding person.
Shankel said Ramaley had the edge over the other candidates because of the level and variety of her administrative skills and because of her enthusiasm about KU.
Ramaley was the chief academic officer at SUNY-Albany from 1982 to 1985. Since then she has been the university's executive vice president for academic affairs. She has also held faculty and administrative positions in the University of Nebraska and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Shankel said that of the original 55 applicants, the search committee interviewed six, five men and Ramaley.
Caryl Smith, associate vice chancellor for student affairs and a search committee member, said, "The fact that she was a woman did not affect the committee's selection."
"The applications were presented to the chancellor in an alphabetical order," he said. "The committee did not list her as their first choice, but their evaluation of her was the strongest."
James Scaly, assistant to the chancellor, said the search committee submitted the applications of the three it deemed best qualified to Chancellor Gene A. Budig for his final decision.
Reagan policies win summit support
Bombs rock U.S. and British embassies in Rome
VENICE, Italy (AP) — As bombas rocked U.S. and British embassies in Rome, President Reagan won summit support yesterday for a tough stand against terrorism and a fresh diplomatic initiative to counter threats against Persian Gulf shipping.
The United States and its six most powerful trading partners also hailed the growing momentum of arms control talks but agreed to remain vigilant in dealing with a changing Soviet leadership.
Reagan said he was "delighted" with his six summit partners' largely symbolic declaration of support for the free passage of oil tankers through gulf shipping lanes. For the first time, they embraced Reagan's policy of refusing to make concessions to terrorists.
Although one U.S. official pronounced the summit "very successful from our standpoint," discord surfaced over the next step in U.S.-Soviet arms control negotiations, with West Germany questioning U.S. strategy in dealing with Moscow.
Reagan's summit partners did not condemn arms sales to Iran, which U.S. officials cite as the principal obstacle to stability in the region, nor
did they offer military assistance for U.S. efforts to keep vital oil shipping lanes open.
But Secretary of State George P. Shultz insisted that "we will be able to take care of ourselves well" in the gulf, where British and French warships also provide armed patrols and shipping escorts. "The states that are capable of providing are doing it," he said.
Shultz said the United States got the principal thing it wanted, with unanimous support for a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in the Iran-Iraq war and imposing a mandatory arms embargo on either side that persisted in fighting.
On the face of it, Reagan and leaders of Britain, West Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Japan were united on the arms control issue, too, as they issued a flurry of resolutions midway through their 13th annual summit.
The allies expressed approval of the quickening pace of negotiations that have led the superpowers closer to signing a treaty that would eliminate hundreds of nuclear missiles in Europe and Asia and said more favorable prospects have emerged
Since last year's summit in Tokyo, they said, opportunities also have opened for progress in improving East-West relations.
for the reduction of nuclear forces.
"We are encouraged by these de-
velopments," their joint statement said.
"Each of us must remain vigilantly alert in responding to all aspects of Soviet policy," the statement said.
The allied leaders said they hoped that liberalizing changes under Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev would prove to be of great significance but noted that profound difference persisted between East and West.
An anonymous caller linked the attacks to the Venice summit. and
Summit concerns about terrorism were reinforced shortly before Reagan met British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher over breakfast, when small bombs rocked the U.S. and British embassy compounds in Rome, 340 miles to the southwest. No injuries were reported in the blasts.
Finance ministers of the seven main industrial democracies, mean-while, vowed to strengthen efforts to raise domestic aid more closely on monetary polls.
Two hours earlier, military frogmen retrieved and detonated a suspicious-looking metal box from a Venetian lagoon, prompting a further tightening of already heavy security precautions in this summit city.
said they were the work of the Anti- Imperialist International Brigade, the same group held responsible last year for the assassination of a French military attach in Lebanon and bomb and rocket attacks on U.S., Canadian and Japanese embassies in Indonesia.
Secret Service agents detailed to Reagan dismissed the box as harmless, and Italian police reportedly speculated it was either an unexploded World War II mine unconnected with terrorists or an abandoned water heater.
By the time the Rome bomb bribed was cleaned up, the summit leaders had condemned all forms of international terrorism, and pledged to halt all air travel to and from countries that refuse to cooperate in hijacking incidents and other breaches of aviation security.
"Each of us will continue to monitor closely the activities of airlines that raise security problems," they said.
