Old smokey will be a missed KU landmark
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 smoked quite a bit. . like a chimney, in fact.

he said.
Until then, the two boilers now on line should have no problems handling the work load this summer and fall, he said.
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.
For the first time, a woman will be the executive vice chancellor for the University of Kansas Lawrence campus.
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.
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.
