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-towers find the University. He did these chores unfailingly, seven days a week.
He had one vice, however: he
sucked quite a bit, like a chimney,
in snaked form.
But University officials didn't need him anymore; they hired a team of high-level analysts.
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.
Richard Perkins, associate director of utility management for KU facilities and operations, said demolition began Jj contractors, w week, should I completely tori weeks, dependi

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.
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 Cohen, a professor of English

ing than heating," he said.
Perkins said that the two boilers receiving new smokestacks should be operable by Oct. 15, depending on the weather.
Parking
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 and working all day, tasks, 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 smaller, progress will slow because

materially poor, for the most part.
But what we found were people who know how to love, and how to communicate with each other. They didn't seem quite as mixed up about what was important in life as so many people back home. And they were happy, too.
Except maybe for Nona. Our last task for the week was to clear away the debris from the fire.
"There's no way he could've started that fire," she said.
Just before the fire, Nona's grandson had been playing with matches in her sewing room. But she refused to blame him.
As I began digging through the rubble that was once Nona's home, Mary, another member of the group, innocently picked up a small metal box about 3 inches around. She took the lid off and found, amidst the ashes, a little piece of gold jewelry.
She showed her find to Letendre, who advised her to set it aside with a few pots and pans that Nona would salvage from the fire. They didn't think much of it. After all, in the middle of all the rubble, it didn't look too important.
Nona came down from her daughter's house next door to help us. She got right to work digging up some shrubs she would replant when her new house was built.
She accepted her loss saying without much visible remorse, "Well, I guess I'll just have to start over."
The only other possession she was sorry to lose was a gold four-leaf clover pin with a diamond in the center. Her son had sent the charm home to her while he was in Vietnam.
As Nona described the object that had meant so much to her, Mary looked up. "A little four-leaf clover with a stone in the middle?" I saw that," she said. "I put it over there."
She did mention missing some family pictures, pictures she had only copies of and could never replace.
Mary didn't think she had done anything special, but she had. She had unintentionally brought joy to a woman she had known only a few hours.
This miracle occurred near the end of our stay in Maysel, and it left Nona with an indelible memory of our visit.
Nona was so happy. Crying,
she hugged Mary and ran next
door to show the pin to her
daughter.
Nona Carte experienced a miracle when Mary found her gold four-leaf clover. But I experienced a miracle in the people I met and worked with in Clay County.
But for me, it was simply the finale to a spring break I would never forget.
