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.
But University officials didn't need him anymore, so they hired a team of hit men to rub him out.
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.
The work of this gang of tanned assassins can be seen or heard from almost anywhere on campus. Chunk by chunk, the KU 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
smoked hatack had been torn down.
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.

Special to the Kansan Magazine
Angela Snyder seemed to bump into John everywhere she went — on campus, at parties, in restaurants. She wanted to meet him, but whenever she worked up enough nerve, he was gone.
Snyder waited anxiously for replies. She received a variety of responses. She said some were pleasing, but others were disgusting. She also heard from not just one but three Johns.
The solution, she decided, was an $8 ad in the University Daily Kansan. "John? Hey Blondie! Have seen you on campus, crew parties, Valentino's. Dying to meet you! Fellow Blondie Angela . . ."
Snyder experienced the wide readership attracted by persons
The ads reflect an intriguing blend of stage fright and grandstanding. Someone too shy to initiate a friendship face to face may choose to place an aggressive, flashy ad complete with home phone number. The advertiser may then relax, confident of a position of power, and wait for the world to respond.
Clayton Reid, Fort Collins, Colo., sophomore, said people who placed personal ads came across to a lot of people as desperate.
"I'd be very interested to meet these people. It makes me wonder what they're like and what kind of people they think they're going to attract by advertising." Reid said.
Like Reid, many readers wonder what motivates personal advertisers, but finding out is not easy.
Some who place personals are naint to reveal why they choose to put their private dilemmas on public display, but some are willing to explain themselves. One is Richard Felton.
Felton has learned the difference between being alone and being lonely, he said. Being lonely hurts.
Felton, a 34-year-old law student from Junction City, was tired of being lonely. So when he met a woman at a jazz concert last February who seemed like someone he would like to get to know, he tried to track her down with a personal ad.
