Plant's fuel causes odor, bluish smoke
By a Kansan reporter
The University of Kansas' power plant has been emitting a blush, soul-smelling smoke since December due to a change in the plant's fuel.
The smoke began in December after the University changed from natural gas to fuel oil as an energy source in the power plant's boilers, said Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations.
The smell comes from sulfur and the smoke from burning oil.
Facilities operations switched when oil became cheaper than natural gas, saving the University about $150,000 in the first half of 1987. Anderson said.
Normally, people don't notice the smell, except when the wind blows the smoke down to street level. Anderson said.
To prevent the downdraft of
smoke, facilities operations may extend the smokestacks on the power plant's roof. Anderson said that facilities operations workers were conducting a study to deter fires by making the smokestacks on the roof higher. The power plant is behind Stauffer-Flint Hall.
G. Paul Willhite, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said burning oil produced carbon, nitrogen and sulfur oxides. The sulfur gases cause odes. The higher the sulfur content in the fuel stream, the lower the sulfur oxides are released, and the more the smoke smells, he said.
Sulfur in the atmosphere is not directly hazardous to human beings, but it can cause acid rain in high concentrations, Willhite said.

The General Union of Palestinian Students, a KU student organization, sponsored the demonstration. The students marched from the Kansas Union to Strong Hall, paused for about five minutes, and marched back.

Mahmoud Abuali, Jordan junior and president of the Palestinian student organization, said that the march took place to honor Palestinian Land Day.
The day, which was started in 1976, is an annual commemoration of the Palestinian people's loss of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which now are part of Israel. The day also protests the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians.

Masoud said U.S. citizens often dio not analyze what they were told and thus needed to be exposed to other opinions.
Masoud, who was born in Jordan, said that he had family living in Israel. He said survival was hard for Palestinians because of the Jewish control in Israel and the Jewish control in the United States.
Masoud said the Jewish people controlled everything in the United States, including the media, which he said were owned by Jews.
"I'm not sure what point they're trying to make," she said. "The Jews do not seek to destroy Palestinians."
Daveen Litwin, director of Hilille, said that the "international Jewish banker" was a common stereotype of the Jewish people.
