Describing the accident Stubbs said, "We were about a mile west of Sunflower. It was about 2:30 a.m. and I was going from 50-55 miles per hour. I came up over a hill and saw a car traveling slowly the other side of the hill. I slammed on the brakes, and that's all I remembered."
Charles Krone, business senior, who was with Stubbs, was not injured. Stubbs is recovering from the accident in Watkins hospital.
No information was available on the damage to the other automobile or the name of the driver.
Speech Contest Will Be On KU Problems
The oldest annual forensic event held at the University is the Campus Problems contest. This year's contest will be held at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
"In a survey conducted last year, it was discovered that more than 30 of the suggestions brought up in 25 years of Campus Problems contests have been subsequently put into operation," William Conboy, speech instructor and a director of the contest. said.
Suggestions for campus improvements in this year's speeches include: less dishonest work by students, better cheerleading at the University, better teaching devices, fewer boring professors, better dry cleaning service for students, less student health abuse, more effective student counseling, and improved teaching of world affairs.
Judges, who will decide which speech wins first prize, a gold cup; are; Allen Crafton and E. C. Buehler, professors of speech; Frances Feist, Richard Schiefelbusch, and Harold Harvey instructors of speech.
Professor Buehler, one of the originators of the contest, said he believes one reason why the contest has been popular for so many years at the University is that it is a "sounding board for student problems and proposals."
There will be no admission charged for the event.

Hospital Delegate To Wichita
Mrs. Orpha Kiesow, secretary to Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the University health service, will represent Watkins hospital at the 36th annual convention of the Kansas Hospital association in Wichita today and Friday.
A resolution that the student body vote on an amendment of these powers was defeated by a 13 to 11 vote of the A.S.C. Wednesday.
The proposed amendment was to give the organizational representatives voting power in the council equal to that of politically elected representatives.
Twenty-five per cent of the politically elected members can, by objecting, take away the voting power of the organization representatives on any issue.
Maxine Holsinger, engineering senior, who introduced the resolution, said that this had always been a controversial issue in the constitution.
"In the 1950 spring election an amendment to remove organizational representatives was defeated by a larger majority than elected the present president," she said. "This indicates that the student body wants organizational representatives on the council. If the student body wants these representatives they should be given complete voting power and should no longer be puppets."
Jack Howard, business senior, said that it would be undemocratic and contrary to the best means of government, that of party politics.
The Inter-Co-operative council representative, Richard Bradley, said that he had not been allowed to vote on any major issue that had come before the council this year. "I do not call this representation," he said.
Roger Davis, first year law student, said: "If the party which controls the council lets this amendment be put to a student vote, it is attempting true representation. If not, it is evidence that Pachacamac is afraid of, and does not want student opinion."
One organizational representative is allowed from each of the following; the Y.M.C.A.; the Y.W.C.A.; Pan-hellenic; the Inter-Fraternity council; Inter-Dorm councils; the Independent Students association; the Inter-Co-operative council; and the Negro Students association. The Associated Women Students are allowed two representatives.
Under the present system the politically elected members of the council are elected according to districts or schools of the University. The number of representatives in each district is determined by its enrollment. There are 20 elected members on the council.
The A.S.C. approved a budget of $7,169, including expenditures of $1,000 for scholarships and $2,000 for publications. Receipts totaled $7,233.40.
The A.S.C. has $4,260.38 in a trust fund. This represents the balance the council had on hand at the end of last year after $1,000 was taken out to start this year.
The vacancy caused by the resignation of Dale Helmers, College senior, was filled by Max Whitson, College sophomore. Whitson was given the seat through a Pachacamac petition.
A $100 appropriation was given to the Dove, campus liberal magazine. Ninety-four dollars was given the International club, and $60.00 given to Alpha Phi Omega.
The business meeting followed the K.U.K.-State friendship dinner at which the peace pact between the two schools was signed for the year,
Ten members of the Kansas State All Student Council attended the dinner. The K-State council invited the K.U. council to be their guests at the football game in Manhattan, Nov. 18.
