PROFESSOR O'LEARY INJURED IN ACCIDENT
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4. 1922
Provisions Will Be Made for the Meeting of His Classes
SUFFERED MANY BRUISES
Failed to See Fast-Driven Auto in Tin ..to Escape Being Knocked Down
Prpf. R. D. O'Leary was badly bruised and shaken this morning when he was knocked down by a car while crossing the street in front of Green Hall. He did not see the car which was going rather fast, in time to escape and was immediately taken to his home, 1106 Louisiana Street.
Although there were no bones broken) Professor O'Leary is suffering very much from the bruises and it is not known how long he
will be confined to his home. On account of his energetic disposition and unwillingness to be confined, he will probably meet his classes soon. Until then some provision will probably be made in the Enlish department for his classes although nothing has been done as yet.
Professor O'Leary, who has been elected as head of the English department this year, received his A. B. from Kansas University in 1889, after a post at Harvard in 1895. In that same year he took the position of assistant professor in English in Kansas University, where he has been since. He held the position of associate professor in Rhetoric from 1906 to 1915; and in English from 1923 to 1934 of English, and this year is head of the English department.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley is very much distressed over the acedent which occurred at the crossing near Greenwich Island, in injury, R. D. D. O'Leary.
Chancellor Lindley said, "The accident should be a warring to all motorists, as the crossing near Green Hall is very dangerous. Drivers have thoughtless and reckless of safety on the roads, there is an established speed limit on the campus, and there will be a rigid enforcement of it.
John M. Shea, superintendent and grounds said this morning, "I have been instructed by the Chancellor to maintain proper speed limit on the road. My car has been ad libited at ten miles per hour, the rule must be observed.
ANNUAL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
Jayhawker Is First of 200 Annuals to Press
The Jayhawker is the first, of more than 200 high school and college annuals that are now being gout out for 1922, to have all cover work completed and ready for the printer. This statement was made by "ap" Garvin, editor of the 1922 Jayhawker, who has returned from Ft. Worth, Texas, where he completed the arrangement for the engraving and color work that he produced in "Cap" inside the discovery that the University of Kansas will be the first of about 200 schools to get its annual, on the press.
It is estimated that the staff is a month or six weeks ahead of the usual schedule in getting out the Jayhawker. The open pages of the view section and the pages separating the divisions of the book are ready and will be shipped this week to Jefferson City, Mo., where the printing is to be done. Instead of the one page divisions that have been used in previous
annuals, there are to be three pages of color plates, first the book number, next an attractive color drawing, and finally the name of the section. The administration section is also ready and the athletic division is being kept up to date by the completion of the football section.
The senior section is one of the features of the number and a separate panel will be given to this class. The panels for all of the class classes will be finished in about two weeks, and all group and organization glasses must be turned in by February first.
Ellen Boyle, A.B.06, is now a computer on the technical staff of the ordinance department of the Baltimore, Md. Miss Boyle was a Phi Beta Kappa.
Marley Brown, 121, of Limon Colo., visited at the School of Law yesterday. Mr. Brown is now connected with the Limon Lumber Company.

Chancellor Lindley Tells Senate of Prominent Kansas
People
Chancellor Lindley spoke of his recent trip to Pittsburgh, New York, and Philadelphia in the interest of the Stadium-Union Memorial campaign, at a meeting of the University Senate last night.
"I was surprised at the number of University of Kansas men and women I found in responsible positions in the administration," said a superintendent of the city schools, the dean of women of the University of Pittsburgh, and the head of the department of education, who searched all K. U. graduates, and they are proud of their University.
"I learned that the Melton Institute was organized and its first president was Robert E. Burke, and that the present director has a large corps of Kanaas assistants. The story of the Melton Institute is a celebration of the moment of University of Kansas men."
The chancellor spoke also of the New York meeting, where 175 out of 250 alumni and former students, attended a K. U. dinner. He suggested the size of the crowd if alumni were not supposed to respond to a call n like proportion.
Doctor Lindley spoke also of the University annual, and of the efforts to make the publication one that would be a full measure of the money invested in it. He suggested the desirability of a concession in class groups for the purpose of fostering class interests and promoting the Jayhawker. The Senate approved the plan for such a concession.

N. Y. PAPERS PRAISE SKILTON COMPOSITION
"Suite Primeval" Reviewed by The Times, Sun, Herald, World and Tribune
Music critics of many of the New York papers paid especial attention to the production, by the Philharmonic society of that city, of excerpts from Prof. C. S. Skilton's "Suite Primalve" as a part of the society's sixtenthundred concert a few weeks ago. Several of the critics spoke of the difficulty in translating the music of the Red man into the terms of the white man's music, and compli- ment with the converse on his skill in developing the theme. This was also made on the enthras-tic reception the audience gave the production, and its delight to welcome the composer.
The Times/ critic devoted nearly a half-column to the "Suite," which he declares, is "divid, pictureque, in its suggestion." The Tricat critics add that Professor Skilton has been more successful than some of his predecessors in the use of the Indian materials.
The Herald makes the same comment on the success of the composer with his material, adding in regard to the "Suite" that "There is a freshness in it, and it has an out of doors atmosphere."
The Sun: "There is local color in the *Suite*, but it is overlaid with red, white, and blue, of such appeal that the name is called to acknowledge the applause."
Krebiel, music critic of the Tribune declares his disbelief that effective artistic material is to be extracted from American aboriginal tunes, but adds that Professor Skilton has succeeded "to a commendable degree" in making the themes interesting.

Naval Authorities Agree o New Replacement Program
TWO JUNKING METHODS
Ships of Powers to be Al
Scrapped Within 4 Years
After Treaty
Wash., Jan. 4—Three major accomplishments in the courts toward a clean-up and an agreement in the limitation of major armament program were registered today in the Arms Conference.
Those were:
1. An agreement on the method by which the great dreadnaughts of the naval powers will be searmed.
2. An agreement by the naval experts upon vital details of a replacement program.
3. The French had instructions to accept in principle the Root resolution downing the use of submarines against rchantmen.
Washington, Jan. 4. - The United Press learned from the highest sources the detail of the ship scraping program.
Two main methods to be followed in junking the big steam liners.
1. All of the sixty-eight capital ships to be scrapped under the agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan must be reloaded uncapable of warlike purposely intended to attack time the naval treaty goes into effect and must be entirely scrapped within four years from that date.
2. The old ships to be replaced after they have been in service twenty years under the agreement art to be reordered uncleared of warlike injuries within six months and to be entirely scrapped within eight months after the completion of the construction of the replacement tonnage.
The new plans allow a longer time for scrapping than did the original Hughes naval proposal.
DYER PRAISES COUNTY CLUBS
Dean of Men Assisted Linn Brown and Atchison Counties
Dring the Christmas vacation, three counties were visited by the Dean of Men, John R. Dyer, in interest of the interest clubs of the University, and speeches were made by him at each place.
In Linn County, the first place Dean Dyer went, he said, "A party of twelve of us under the leadership of Walter Baker, visited the larger town and the county. We spread the gospel K. U. to some four hundred students.
"In Brown County, the next place, the affair took the form of a banquet at Hiawata to which Horston sent eight or ten high school students, but only a few Hiawata students from the alumni were present including Ralph Love, president of the Chamber of Commerce of that place."
"From there," Dean Dyer said, "I went to Atchison where a very delightful banquet, with between sixty and seventy persons was given. We were delighted, and we had dent here than at any other place, this being doubtless due to their satisfaction over having completed their successful memorial campaign. Both Effingham and Atchison were well educated with high school students."
"My outstanding impression is one of the real value of the county clubs and the real appreciation of their thoroughly democratic basis. My feeling is that if the thing that was done in Linn County could be combined or followed with a banquet, that would be more than many more high school students and alumni than is done by either of the two plans."
High School Debates To Start This Month

SOUTHERN-MARLOWE HERE?
Possibility That They May Ap pear in Lawrence
It is very improbable that Sothern and Marlowe will appear here this winter as scheduled, according to R. C. Rankin, manager of the Bowersock Theatre. The company has cancelled all its two and three night engagements and will make longer runs in the cities. Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe have expressed regret that they are unable to appear in Lawrence, especially since it is a university program, and a belief of a possibility that they may appear here, but the management of the Bowersock thinks it hardly probable. Sothern and Marlowe appeared here two years ago in Twelfth Night, Lawrence, being the only one night stand on the tour.
A play that promises to be of especial interest is Zona Gale's prize play, "Miss Lulu Bott," managed by Rachel Levine and played by man. The schedule of plays to appear at the Browserck sum of the month of January is as follows: Matt and Jeff. ... January 4 Matt and Jeff. ... January 4 Smilin' Through, with Jane
