Nigeria Study
President Eric A. Walker has
resigned from a commission study
ing post-school and higher educa
tion problems in the African state
of Nigeria.
Walker said yesterday he re
signed because the State Legis
lature’s lateness in acting on the
budget has set back consideration
of major University problems.
Walker would have taken a
month's leave of absence near the
end of this month to go to Nigeria
with the commission. He was
asked to be a member of the
group about three months ago.
The commission is sponsored
by the government of Nigeria and
the Carnegie Corp. of New York.
It is composed of educators from
the United States, England and
Nigeria.
Special Permissions
All women will have 11 o’clock
permissions on Thursday night,

ment Association announced last
night.

Greek Crowd
Cheers Ike
ATHENS, Greece (/P) This ancient capital of Greece
cut loose with a mammoth, emotional welcome for President
Eisenhower. The joy was dimmed by a railing collapse that
injured 43 persons, several seriously, at the height of the ova
ation.
About 750,000 approximately the same number that
cheered Eisenhower earlier in thei
day in Iran—shouted exuberant ■■ •

through the gaily decorated I V?Q lOQ
streets of Athens with King Pauli'
at his side
j For 10 miles, from the airport
Ito the palace where Queen Fred
jerika waited, Eisenhower was
j hailed as a modern-day hero in
this storied land rich with history
'of heroes of its own.
| The accident occurred two
from the palace, at a spot
the President had just passed.
Opposite the U.S. Embassy a rail
ing atop a wall in front of an
; apartment building crumbled un
jder the weight of hundreds of
Ipersons who had been scrambling
for vantage point.
Those pressing against the rail
ing fell upon the crowd.
Two hospitals and a first aid
station said eight of the injured
required hospitalization.
Eisenhower learned of the ac
cident when he arrived at the
palace, where he is spending the
'night as King Paul’s guest. The
i President expressed sympathy
and asked that his regret be ex
tended to the victims and their
families.
It was the first incident to mar
the President’s trip to 11 coun
tries, of which Greece is the sev
enth.
Eisenhower flew in at dusk
near the end of a tiring 22-hour
day that began with a farewell
io India.
He flashed his famous grin and
waved in response to the cheers
of the thousands who came out
iin the chill and mist.
In response to a call from Pre
mier Constantine Karamalis, the
Greeks turned out to show their
gratitude to the United States
for the military aid that helped
stamp out a Communist rebellion
in the ’4os and has since built
up Greece as an ally in the West
ern alliance.
I Eisenhower said the long de
motion to democratic principles
of this sturdy little nation next
door to the Soviet orbit has won
the world’s admiration.

ing its Tuesday through Fri

The extra copies will be divid
ed among the various circulation
points which include the Hetzel
Union Building, Waring, War

The increase to 7500 places the
