A Pre-Med Major
Raw, a pre-medicine major, was killed while frying hamburgers at about 4 p.m. Saturday at the Moore Burger Drive-in, 1414 W. 6th St., where he worked part time.
He was shot by Richard Loufek, manager of the drive-in, while Mr. Loufek was showing a friend, Jack E. Dysart, how to load a 38-caliber pistol in a back room of the drive-in.
Mr. Dysart told police Saturday that he heard a shot after Louefk had turned and walked toward the front of the drive-in. Assistant Police Chief Bill Cox said Saturday that the shooting was "apparently an accident." A Coroner's Inquest will be held at 5 p.m. today.

'No Mass Violations'
L. C. Woodruff, dean of students, denied any mass violations of enrollment procedure by students in a statement to The Daily Kansan this morning.
Dean Woodruff quoted figures from the registrar's office to show that no more than 300 students could have enrolled out of turn.
A story in Friday's Daily Kansan quoted Jim Schultz, Salina senior and former ASC president as saying that "a third of the student body" had violated the procedure.
Dean Woodruff said:
"According to the records of the registrar's office, 2,700 students enrolled on the first day. Of this number, 1,600 enrolled according to the letter schedule, and 900 held legitimate permits for early enrollment. Taking into account all duplicates,
not more than 300 violations would have been possible.
"This is not a large number, less than 4 per cent of the student body, and nothing like some of the exaggerated estimates that have been quoted in rumor...
"The Disciplinary Committee has had to deal with this situation as best it could. I wish to commend this committee, particularly the student members who have given their time and energy to help solve a difficult situation.
"All violators have been put to some inconvenience and some additional expense as a result of their action."
KU Debaters Win Tourney
The KU debate team of Kenneth Irby, Fort Scott senior, and Ray Nichols, Lawrence sophomore, won first place at the Northwestern University Invitational Debate Tournament in Evanston, Ill. Saturday.
The Northwestern tournament with 98 schools competing is one of the largest on the KU schedule.
Arguing the subject, the "right to work" bill, the KU debaters defeated Augustana College, Rock Island, Ill., in the finals Saturday night after beating Washburn University and St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., earlier in the day.
In the Friday preliminaries, after losing a round to Marquette University, Irby and Nichols overcame Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Mich., University of Illinois, Boston College, Northwestern University and University of Minnesota.
KU Has Defeated Augustana Before
The Augustana team was the same team that lost to Irby and Nichols in the finals of the KU tournaments here last spring, and defeated the KU team in the national debate tournament last year at West Point, N. Y.
Kim Giffin, debate coach, said for this reason the KU debaters were whimsically hoping to meet Augusta again.
Like KU, Augustana surpassed some stiff competition in defeating Butler University and the United States Military Academy, who earlier downed Notre Dame.
KU Has Been in National Tournament Nine Times
Augustana is the only school that has gone to the national tournament at West Point for 10 consecutive years. KU has gone nine times in the past ten years, missing only in 1952 when another tournament was held in Lawrence.
Another KU team of Wanda Welliever, Oberlin, and Bill Summers, Wichita, both seniors, attended the Northwestern tournament, but was defeated early in the preliminaries.
Sprague Bids Too High
Three Lawrence firms were low bidders in bids opened Friday for Sprague Apartments, proposed apartment house for retired staff members. Total bids were $212,526, which were above Endowment Assn. estimates, said Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Assn.
Low bids were general construction, Constant Construction Co. $167,700; plumbing and heating, Brune Plumbing, Heating and Electric, $29,922; electrical, Norris Brothers. $14,904.
Mr. Youngberg said this morning the executive committee of the Endowment Assn. will meet Sunday to determine what action should be taken.
The apartments will be located in Alumni Place, immediately north of Templin Hall and across 14th Street south of the Museum of Art. Templin Hall, men's dormitory, will be razed.
The Sprague Apartments are made possible by a gift from Miss Elizabeth Sprague, professor emerita of home economics, in memory of her sister, the late Miss Amelia B. Sprague.
Plans are for the 3-story building to contain eight apartments. six two-bedroom and two one-bedroom.
Telling The Truth Has Its Drawbacks, Editor Says
Uncompromising honesty in selecting facts for publication is not always the best policy, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, editor of the Tulsa Tribune, said in the ninth annual William Allen White lecture in Fraser Theater today. $ \textcircled{*} $
Mr. Jones said that a newspaper that sought to publish all the facts all the time would:
Lay itself open to ruinous libel suits.
Be an accessory to blackmail and stand guilt of bad taste.
Be responsible for many injustices since some truths are cruel and unnecessary.
Paralyze our popular government by insisting on a level of reporting so free that it would destroy deliberation.
Mr. Jones spoke on "The Inexact Science of Truth-telling."
He was also awarded the first annual certificate of national recognition from the William Allen White Foundation.
He will be guest of honor at a banquet sponsored by the KU chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional
journalism fraternity, at 6:30 tonight in the Kansas Union Kansas Room
Receives Journalistic Award
Angelo Scott, publisher of the Iola Register, received the fifth annual William Allen White Foundation Award for Journalistic Merit at the annual trustees' luncheon at noon in the Kansas Union.
ANGELO SCOTT
Dwight Payton, editor of the Overbrook citizen was elected president of the foundation this morning.
Thirty-seven guests and trustees attended the lecture, including Gov. and Mrs. George Docking, Harry Darby of the Darby Corp., Kansas City, Kan.; Oscar Stauffer, president of Stauffer Publications; Topea; Louis LaCoss, editorial page editor of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and Whitley Austin, editor of the Salina Journal and newly appointed member of the Board of Regents.
Facts Are Selected
"The inexact science of truth-telling involves essentially the difficult business of selecting facts." Mr. Jones continued. "The proper selection of facts gives a reasonably accurate picture. The improper selection can give a false one."
"The newspaper business is as variable as human beings," Mr. Jones pointed out. "The editor is
torn between that which is popular and that which is instructive.
"For many years an ex-convict has been holding public office in my community," he said. "He doesn't belong to my party, but we never point to his penitentiary

term. Why? Well, he does a good job."
"He has been re-elected time after time and has grown gray in public service. There has never been a suspicion of graft or malfeasance. So, although a few old-timers know about his record, neither the newspapers nor, more strangely still, his political opponents even mention it. Are we wrong?"
Recalls Tulsa Incident
Mr. Jones recalled an incident in Tulsa in which a professional man of good reputation smashed his car into a tree while he was drunk. He paid a fine for reckless driving, which was recorded in the newspaper.
"Eut did we tell the truth?" Mr. Jones asked. "We did not. No one was hurt. Damages were paid for the wounded tree. We never told on this man although his family and intimate circle knew it. But his reputation as far as the general public is concerned remains unblemished. And he has never taken another drink.
