Old smokey will be a missed KU landmark
By PAUL BELDEN
Staff writer
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-towners 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 anymore, so they hired a team of hit men to rub him out.
The work of this gang of tanned assassins can be seen or heard from almost anywhere on campus. Chunk is always smokestack is dying a slow death.

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 renforcing 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

in the personals'
Whether or not she was a romantic, Felton will never know. She didn't call.
"To whistling brunette in balcony at Bobbie McFerrin, wearing black skirt and grey (?) jacket. You called me a gentleman for allowing you first down the stairs. Please call Richard . . . if you're as romantic as I."
Felton did receive a response from another woman who was just passing through town, read his ad and was intrigued enough to call him. She left a message on his answering machine without a phone number.
Felton said the other calls he received evidently were from angry men who couldn't remember where their girlfriends had been that night.
However, when "Adam" invested $5.50 in a personal ad in late February, he said the results were a lot better than spending $5.50 in a bar.
Even though he didn't find the whistling brunette in the personals, Felton, who describes himself as quite the opposite of ugly, hopes to meet a woman with interests similar to his.
"I don't like boring people, and I don't like a boring me," Felton said. Felton listed his interests and hobbies in detail: running, wrestling, cooking gourmet foods and working as a defense attorney for the traffic court.
Felton's interest in music leads him to many concerts. At one, he interrupted his monologue to a seatmate only long enough to applaud.
"I want to find someone who talks more than I do, about substantive things," he said. Although Fellon said that persons might
Although Fellon said that personalists might be a good way to meet people, his own $9 ad cost too much for the results.
of English.
voices. Some men called because they were upset because their girlfriends had answered Adam's ad.
Adam made a list of the names and phone numbers of the women who answered his ad.
"I'm trying to find a girl who I want to spend a lot of time with, and the ad is increasing the odds of that happening," he said.
Although he hasn't met all the women on his list, Adam has been surprised by the ones he has met.
"They're good-looking and nice. None of them were duds." he said.
Adam admitted that he was frustrated with trying to approach women at bars but was quick to point out that he did not place the ad because he was desperate.
"I know a lot of girls. They're just not the girls I want to go out with," he said.
Frustration with trying to meet people face to face is the main reason people resort to personal ads, according to Patricia Schoenrade, assistant professor of psychology.
"By using an ad, advertisers are hoping to reduce the risks of initiating the relationship or facing rejection."
"It's not the kind of thing that people think of when they think of initiating a relationship," Schoenrade said. "When people do place personal ads, they often describe it as a last resort."
"The assumption is that someone who answers the ad is at least interested."
"There is a notion of interpersonal relationships as a marketplace, and people that are willing to place ads are comfortable with that notion." she said.
When all the interested parties have responded, the advertiser still has the opportunity to be selective. Schoenrade said.
Personals advertisers get into the marketplace despite the risk of getting calls from who Schoenrade says are a lot of inappropriate people.
Bill Osborne, advertising director of the Topeka Capital-Journal, said that personals advertisers might try to protect themselves by requiring that respondents write to a "blind box number."
An obscene or harassing caller or even a would-be rapist could be among those who respond to a personal ad, and that problem concerns some newspaper advertising staffs
"But there are still risks, depending on the ad," he said.
It turns out that the risks to personals advertisers are as old as personals themselves, which have existed in America since colonial newspapers.
In 1828, William Corder placed a matrimonial personal ad in the New York Herald that received 96 responses.
