Gold In The Hills Sought By KU Student
Pirates may no longer sail the bounding main, but the idea of buried treasure is still a reality for John Gever. Ellis junior.
Geyer and a cousin are planning a trip to California to look for hidden gold. The treasure is indicated on a map found in a 1946 edition of a popular magazine which Geyer refuses to
He has several maps of possible treasure locations that he has gathered from various sources.
"I just watch for things like this. There's always a chance that you might find something," he said.
Geyer has obtained topographical maps of the southern California desert area east of San Diego. He is now waiting for a letter from the author of the magazine article for further verification of the possible treasure.
"If we can make sure that there
is a reasonable chance of finding something, we will go at Christmas or possibly this summer," he said. "However, if we don't hear from the author, we won't go."
The author of the article writes that the treasure indicated on the man is stolen gold buried by Indians.
The proposed search for hidden treasure is not the first such adventure for Geyer. He did extensive prospecting for uranium in Wyoming in the summer of 1955.
Wileys Well Received At San Antonio Concert
Success in the music field is a family affair for Russell L. Wiley, professor of band, and his wife, according to a San Antonio newspaper after their recent appearance there.
On Nov. 23 Mr. Wiley conducted the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra and Mrs. Wiley, known professionally as Charmaine Asher, played the cimbalom. The San Antonio Express and News said that Mr. Wiley "conducted with warmth and style and is a finished artist in this most difficult of all arts."
Mrs. Wiley is recognized as the only person in the United States qualified to appear as a soloist
on the cimbalom, a Hungarian instrument. One of the major orchestral works which Mr. Wiley performed on his tour was the "Hary Janos Suite" by Kodaly which is written with a cimbalom solo.
Because of the scarcity of solo performers in the country the work is usually performed with a piano but there is a great demand for the suite to be played with the cimbalom according to Mr. Wiley.
Mrs. Wiley's cimbalom is over 200 years old and is from Hungary,

Flu Shots At Standstill
For the first time since Watkins Hospital started giving Asian flu shots, the hospital went a day without giving a shot.
Tuesday the hospital reported that 14 Asian flu booster shots were given. Dr. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, said that apparently the extent of students who wish to take care of their health has been reached since the only ones to take shots are the ones who have seen that they have had the first shot.
The number of students to take shots in one day has slipped gradually from about 100 a day during and shortly after the rash of Asian flu, to no one taking shots as evidenced Tuesday.
The total number of first shots given this year still remains at about 4,350. Dr. Canuteson said that public health agencies are still expecting a second wave of Asian flu around the first of the year.

10 IBM Machines Process KU Records
Ten international business machines, rented at a cost of almost $1,000 per month, are used by the statistics service to process records for several University offices.
There are 7 full-time employees operating the machines daily and 10 part-time employees who work during rush periods, Jerry Davis, supervisor of the statistics service, said Tuesday.
Mr. Davis said about 60 per cent of the work the service does is for the University business office, 20 per cent is for the registrar's office, and the rest is for various research projects.
He said the biggest single job the service does is the processing of student schedules and class rosters after enrollment. With the use of the part time help the job can be done in three days, he said.
The statistics service uses seven types of machines. Three key punches and two verifiers are used in preparing the cards; sorter machine arranges them, a collator machine matches decks of cards; a reproducer makes duplicates; an interpreter machine prints the code of the key punches on the cards; and the tabulator is a brain machine that makes reports from cards.
