Old smokey will be a missed KU landmark
By PAUL BELDEN
Staff writer
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 unfailingly, seven days a week.
He had one vice, however; he

too.
But University officials didn't need him anymore, so they hired a team of hit men to rub him out.
The work of this gang of tanned assassins can be seen or heard from almost anywhere on campus. Chunk by chunk, the KU smokestack is dying a slow death.

Judith A. Ramaley, acting executive vice president for academic affairs at the State University of New York at Albany, was selected for the chairmanship of the Joint Shankel, chairman of the executive vice chancellor search committee.
When Ramaley begins her duties Aug. 1, she will be the second-highest ranking administrator on campus.
She will replace 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 office.

As of yesterday, about 40 feet of the smokestack had been torn down, Perkins said, but as the stack gets smaller, progress will slow because
Perkins said that the two boilers receiving new smokestacks should be operable by Oct. 15, depending on the weather.

"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.
RIVER

River," Hallgren said. "It's an awfully dangerous river, too."
Before 1930, when the river was straightened out by some engineers, the river traveled only three to four miles an hour.
Now, the Missouri is always at least nine feet deep with currents strong enough to stir up the bottom and give the river its infamous muddy-brown color.
Hallgren said the river's current was so strong that it had eroded away whole farms, including one that was 360 acres.
The Missouri also was known for its abundance of quicksand, Hallgren said.
“There’s a lot of quicksand on the Missouri,” she said. “When we were kids we used to go out to the sandbars by jumping on pieces of driftwood in the quicksand.”
Andrew and Jeremy Wilson, on vacation with their parents from Middleton, Conn., said they thought the river was too dangerous.
Jeremy, 8, said that he'd much rather ride his bike in the street than ride on a raft as Tom Sawyer did on the Mississippi.
However, Jeremy said that he'd ridden on a riverboat in Florida and that he liked the big boats.
Erin Brown, a 5-year-old from Kansas City, Kan., said that she had ridden on the River Queen before.
Brown said her class had taken a field trip on a River Queen daytime cruise to learn about the river and the city.
But this time, Brown was with her mother and grandmother on the cruise just to sit, relax and get a taste of days gone by.
