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. But University officials didn't need him to be hired a team of hikers to catch them. The work of this gang of tanned assassins can be seen or heard from almost anywhere on campus.

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 New vice chancellor selected By CARLA PATINO Staff writer 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 ...or maybe Bill of English. "He was pretty loaded," Munkirs said. His customers never would have suspected, but besides bumping and grinding for birthday boys, Munkiris has danced with the Kaw Valley Dance Theater in Lawrence and the City in Dance school in Kansas City. Mo. and modern dance for 14 years. He said he hadn't considered making a career for himself performing as a male dancer, but he has danced in amateur performances with both groups. Munkins studied Spanish and French at Wichita State University, where he graduated with a liberal arts degree in 1977. Munkins works full-time transcribing medical records at a Kansas City hospital. He said an interest in language and a fascination for medicine made his job of writing medical histories interesting to him. "They're strictly hobbies," he said. As interesting as his work is, however, Munkins thrives on performing. He enjoys the variety of characters he can portray as a woman. "It has lots of possibilities," he said. evening gowns, lingerie, a leotard studded with rhinestones, high-healed pumps, a specially made tuxedo jacket, four or five wigs, fingernails, eyelashes and multiple pairs of pantyhose. Female friends supplement Munkirs' costume wardebe, which consists of short dresses. Munkins also shops in women's stores for costumes, but he doesn't try them on if he thinks the sales clerk will be uncomfortable. Munkin says he wears women's clothes well because he has feminine features. He remembered a gas station attendant saying, "Can I help you ma'am?" "I never got a complex over it, but it made me aware that I just happened to have feminine fea "If it doesn't fit, I take it back," he said. tures." he said. "Shaving itself is a traumatic experience. Putting makeup on top of that is like adding insult to injury. Now for $50 a performance, Munkin takes advantage of his feminine features. He spends an hour getting into drag, putting on the support hose that pinch his feet and the makeup that irritates his eyes and skin. Before Munkirs begins his act, a woman in a tuxedo sings a message to the victim and introduces Nicole. Then Munkiris dances to a recording of "Let Me Entertain You" from the Broadway musical "Gvysv." "I don't like to do it two days in a row," he said, pointing at his red eyes that had been bordered with eyeliner the night before. Although some people have commented about Munkirs' feminine features, he isn't always sure he's fooling his audience. "I keep wondering/'does he know?" Munkirs said. "Am I pulling this or not?" --unt to the high commissions of the unqualified to lig for his Munkirs used to take his wig off to let the victim in on the joke, but now he takes off the corset so the man has no question that Nicole is really a Bill.
