By Bibler
Emergency treatment was administered in Cottonwood Falls, but Miss Ateberry died before she could attend to Emmett hospital. Was Firing At Target
An account of the accident given by the group to Mr. Ballwug was that Kiene had been firing at some targets with a light pistol and that he accidentally shot Miss Atttebery in the head when she suddenly raised up from a campfire where she was preparing the lunch.
The county attorney said that fur-
ful investigation was in progress and
and that he would be able to do so.
Neither Kiene nor Owen were available for comment as they had not returned to the University this morning.
Niles Concert Is Tonight
Niles, who shares American ballad singing honors with Burl Ives, is also a composer and arranger of some of his own numbers. He is credited with helping to popularize the Christmas carol, "I wonder as I wander," which he will sing tonight.
John Jacob Niles, ballad singer will appear in a recital of five groups of songs and ballads at 8 tonight in Frank Strong auditorium.
The five divisions of tonight's recital are love songs, nursery rhymes, carols, folk tales, and child ballads. One ballad singer will accompany himself with the dulcimer, an instrument consisting of wires stretched across a sounding board and played with a pair of light hammers.
The Niles recital is the first presentation of the new Chamber Music series which will be held in the smaller auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
Patrolman Asks For Student Help
"Traffic conditions at the intersections are bad," Robert A. Corwin, campus patrolman said today.
He thought that the reason they could not hire students was the short time they would work, or because of the possibility of other students' ridicule.
"The best solution that I could think of," he said, "was to hire student officers to keep the crowd back on each side. We succeeded in hiring one student, but we needed eight, we let the one so."
Mr. Corwin referred to the intersection at Jayhawk drive and Mississippi street. He said that some students will not watch or obey the traffic officer. This results in traffic snarls and takes longer to get the students from one class to another, he explained.
WEATHER
Little Man On Campus
Kansas-Fair today, tonight and Tuesday. Continued mild. Low tonight ranging from 50 to 55.
"Well, it looks like I'll have to start getting in at closing hours."

Said KU Rooter,'I'd Sooner Be A Sooner When I'm Sittin' On The Sooner Bench
One University student spent a quiet afternoon at the Kansas-Oklahoma game. He had a 50 yard line seat-on the Sooner bench.
Howard Thomas, engineering sophomore, arrived at Owen field too late to find a seat in the general admission section. After a frantic search he sied a vacant spot in the center of the Oklahoma bench.
When Ray Evans carried me for five_yards early in • the game, Thomas stood up and gave out with an "Atta boy, Ray!" His benchmate an Oklahoma player who weighed 312 pounds, according to him, hurried judgment, gave a long look and sat in the hell are you cheering for?" Thomas weakly replied with a "Boomer-Sooner" and sat down.
A few moments later, Thomas was confronted by a policeman who
seemed to be interested as to whether or not he held a "line pass." Thomas abandoned truth for the moment and said that he did have. The officer, apparently a trusting soul, didn't ask to see it.
As the first half ended, Thomas left his vantage point. It wasn't that he couldn't see the game. His companions just didn't allow him enough freedom of expression.
