For more than a half-century the tall, slim sexagenarian has worked for the University of Kansas department of facilities and operations.
He had one vice, however: he smoked quite a bit . . like a chimney,
in fact.
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 for the University. He did these chores unfailingly, seven days a week.

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.
New vice chancellor selected
By CARLA PATINO Staff writer
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.
For the first time, a woman will be the executive vice chancellor for the University of Kansas Lawrence campus.
When Ramaley begins her duties
Ari, she will be the second-highest
rank I.
She will replace Shankel, who has been the acting executive vice chancellor for the KU campus since January, when the resignation of

ifty years ago, KU student Marie Stevens was known as Queen Marie.
She had won many beauty contests, and the campus magazine and yearbook, the Jayhawker, chose Stevens as a Hill Headliner.
The yearbook tradition of honoring outstanding student leaders began in 1937 with the original Hill Headliners. Fifty years and three name changes later, the Jayhawker is still honoring outstanding students with the Hilltonner award.
Beauty queens were important back then. The Jayhawker editors sent pictures of top campus beauties to a Hollywood panel for judgment, and the yearbook dedicated several pages to their pictures.
Stevens, whose married name is Huey, didn't take the pageant route. Since her graduation in 1937, Huey has been a teacher and a principal.
Huey remembered Dean of Women Agnes Husband, a stern and proper woman who was quite conscious of proper etiquette. When Huey was one of 10 KU women invited to enter the Miss America contest, she remembered a meeting the contestants had with the dean.
"You will be asked to parade around in a bathing suit," the dean said. "No one with high KU standards would do such a thing."
"But I never studied when I went through college," she recently said.
The concern for proper behavior was everywhere on campus in the '30s. Huey was a member of the women's pep club, the Jay Janes. Only men were cheerleaders then.
Huey didn't do it.
So the Jay James ushered, sold programs and sat together at the games in their white KU sweaters and white pleated skirts.
"It was poor manners, or coarse, for college girls to be cheerleaders," she said.
She danced to jazz bands in the Kansas Union and once discovered her bathing suit black with dust after hanging it to dry on a car. She saw Amelia Earhart lecture on campus, walked in a parade behind President Franklin Roosevelt and listened to Count Bassie play in Kansas City
Huey keeps many memories from her time at KU.
Now, at age 71, Huey still is active in education. She substitute teaches and often is hired by the school districts in her home of Portland, Ore., to test gifted and talented students.
william Ivan Linior studied science and electrical engineering, debated and was a "um-drum" swimmer while a KU student in the '30s.
Few women attended college when Huey was young. Huey said she blamed her education on the small number of jobs available during the Depression.
Linlor, now 71, has been a scientist since his graduation from KU in 1937.
Though his debating skills helped get Linor a page as a Hill Headliner 50 years ago, he said he had since learned to keep his mouth shut.
"There was nothing else to do," she said. "It's a wonderful blessing, the way it worked."
W
After graduation, he started work for the General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y.
After World War II was ended by the nuclear bomb, Linlor was drawn to study nuclear energy.
He enrolled at the University of California at Berkley and received a Ph.D. in nuclear physics in 1953.
When radiation and its harmful effects were discovered, "It convinced me that there was no way that power plants could be useful," he said.
Linor remained in science. He has worked at Hughes Aircraft, the Atomic Energy Commission in Washington, D.C., and he worked at NASA for 20 years.
Though retired, Linlor still works on his science, maintaining his own lab at the back of his house in Fortuna, Calif. "I call it the Linlor Lab."

Sarah Fawcett said she took what ever challenges appeared in her path.
Fawcett, 46, who received a Hilltopter award in 1962, was in Lawrence last weekend for her daughter's initiation into Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
And the challenges have led Fawcett from Kansas in 1962 to master's degrees at Harvard University and the University of Connecticut and to jobs in sales and teaching.
She said women had fewer opportunities then than they do now. She attributed her strength and independence to her family's history of independent women.
Her grandmother was a career golfer,
and her mother has a master's degree in
architecture.
But Fawcett's greatest challenge has been dealing with multiple sclerosis. She developed MS about three years ago.
The frustrations of slurred speech and impaired movement have been hard on Fawcet, but she said the disease offered her different things.
"MS has given me a chance to shine in a different light," she said.
twenty-five years ago, Jerry Palmer was active in KU's student government, the All Student Council, as treasurer, president, committee member and national convention delegate. He was an officer in his fraternity, Kappa Sigma, and a KU cheerleader. All these activities helped bring Palmer a Hilltop award.
Palmer remembered KU football games played in the early '60s. He was a cheerleader and still has his KU sweater and megaphone that he used at the games.
After graduating, Palmer attended KU law school. He now is a lawyer in Topeka and president of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.
Palmer remembered the "ballet of blue on the Kansas grid iron" with players such as All-America quarterback John Hadl. He also recalls times at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house, where his son, Chris Palmer, now is a member. He remembers a spontaneous speech by Chancellor Frank Murphy about "the dignity and worth of the American student."
