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 rets

GAME PLAN
Judith A. Ramaley, acting executive vice president for academic affairs at the State University of New York at Albany, was selected for the from 55 candidates, said Del Shaheen and his vice chancellor search committee.
For the first time, a woman will be the executive vice chancellor for the University of Kansas Lawrence campus.
When Ramaley begins her duties
Aug. 1, she will be the second-highest
rank in the league.
Sport may roll into Olympic arena
The game is a cross between ice hockey and basketball, but the players wear roller skates.
A player with a wooden stick slaps a small rubber ball against a wall, off a teammate and past a scrambling goalie, eliciting cheers from the scoring team.
It's popular in Europe and may even become an Olympic sport.
The name of the game is roller hockey. About 12 sports fans from Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin City are playing the sport in Lawrence.
Roller hockey is similar to ice hockey because the players use hockey sticks and skate around a rink, yet it's different because the players score goals by hitting a rubber ball into a net.
David now is a coach and a player for the team. He and another player, Carlin Kampschroeder, a 17-year-old Lawrence High School student, even built a locker room in a storage closet at the rink for the team. Players can use the lockers as long as they pay $10-a-month dues. The money is used to buy equipment.
David Rose, an 18-year-old Lawrence High School student, began playing the sport two years ago at Fantasyland Skating Rink in Gladstone. Mo When Jack Rose, David's father, bought Fantasyland Skating Rink, 3210 Iowa St., David decided to start a club in Lawrence.
In play, the game is more like basketball. Each team has five players, including a goalie. The object is to use teamwork and strategy to score goals without checking, foiling or blocking.
Ise Lrose, David's mother, said anyone could play, regardless of skating ability. By chasing the ball around, beginners are forced to concentrate on the game, causing them to forget
The team competes with roller hockey teams from rinks in other cities. This spring, for example,
the team won third place and its first trophy in a tournament with teams from Bethany, McPherson and Fantasyland of Gladstone.
Jack Rose said that when an area rink was host for a tournament, the host team was then expected to travel to the visitor's rink for a game.
Jennifer Hayden, 16, is the only girl on the team. She said that she liked the game and that being the only girl on the team was a challenge.
Mike said he sometimes got frustrated because most of the opposing teams had played together longer than the Lawrence team. Because the Lawrence team always is getting new players, the team can't progress as fast as he would like.
Hayden said she liked playing both offensive and defensive positions. She even has played goalie.
That was how Mike and Larry Baxter found out about the sport last fall. Mike, 14, and Larry, 12, travel from Eudora to skate at Fantasyland and play roller hockey. Both boys said they thought roller hockey was a fun sport.
The Roses try to recruit team members who already like skating and enjoy sports by publicizing the team at Fantasvland.
"I blocked every shot. It was fun," she said.
Both boys and girls are welcome to play on the team.
"That's what makes it hard," he said.

Jack Roe said no one had been hurt since the team was started. The players might fall down, but checking isn't allowed.
that they are on skates.
Racing around and around the oval rink at dizzying speeds, the players improve their skills. But not without a few spills.
"The object is to have fun and not tear up the rink," Jack Rose said.
But, that doesn't mean the game never gets physical.
"It's not really like hockey, but
there's some pushing and shov ing," David Rose said.
The club provides helmets for the players to wear. It also provides goalie equipment.
Jack Rose doesn't ask the club, which was formed only a year ago, to pay for the use of the rink. He's giving them the chance to get on their feet financially.
Although roller hockey is new to Lawrence, the sport is popular abroad. The Confederation Pan Americana de Roller Hockey governs more than 25,000 compete-
titive skaters in 1,000 skating clubs in the United States. The confederation makes and enforces rules and standards for the sport.
Rose said the U.S. roller hockey team was ranked sixth internationally. Italy, Spain and Portugal are the top three countries in the sport.
Roller hockey is recognized as an Olympic sport by the U.S. Olympic Committee and will be a demonstration sport at the 1992 Olympics.
