John C. Allison
Student Killed In Car Accident
John C. Allison, Lawrence freshman, died early yesterday morning from brain injuries suffered in an auto accident on the 600 block of West 23rd street.
Allison was the son of Mrs. Lucille Allison, 112 West 15th, Clerk of the Douglas County District Court.
Witnesses said that Allison's 1957 Chevrolet was headed west on 23rd at an undetermined speed when it apparently went out of control, jumped the curb and struck a utility pole.
Alison was thrown from the car. The force of the impact ripped the left front door from the auto and turned it completely around.
The accident occurred at 1.55 am. Officers arriving at the scene at about 2 a.m. said that Allison died at 2:05. ___
Two Try for Peace Corps
Two Kansas men are included in about 35 men and women who will begin training at Michigan State University next week as candidates for Peace Corps teaching assignments at the new University of Nigeria in Nskuka.
George T. Eaton, 23, of 1332 Kentucky Street, Lawrence, received his A.B. in political science at Duke University in 1960. He completed his M.A. at Yale this year on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. Gerald W. George, 23, of 431 East Claflin, Salina, received his B.A. in history, magna cum laude from the University of Wichita in 1960 and his M.A. in history from Yale in 1961. He minored in English and economics.
THE PROJECT is the 12th to be announced by the Peace Corps. It is the first in which an entire group will be assigned to a university abroad.
Training at East Lansing, Mich. will begin on September 18th and continue through November 13th. Those selected for service overseas will depart for Nigeria about November 22 and are scheduled to arrive at Nsukka, in the Eastern Region of Nigeria, two or three days later.
EACH VOLUNTEER chosen for assignment in Nsukka will serve as a teaching or research assistant in his or her field. The candidates from which the final selection is to be made represent the following areas of study: English, mathematics, teacher training, vocational education, political science, social science, history, home economics, economics, agriculture, guidance counseling, and natural science.
In the approaching academic year, the university hopes to accommodate a student body of almost 1,000, with a faculty of approximately 90, exclusive of the Peace Corps group.
THE UNIVERSITY of Nigeria at Nsukka is a new and rapidly expanding institution. It opened its doors last fall, at the time of Nigeria's independence. It had 264 students and a faculty of 34. Only one out of 10 applicants can be admitted.
St. Louis, one of the crossroads of the United States, was French and Spanish before it became American and distinctively Southern.
Opera Star to Sing Here
Joan Sutherland, brilliant Australian soprano, opens KU's 59th Concert Course Season at 8:20 p.m. tonight.
Miss Sutherland emerged into the musical spotlight in February 1959 with a performance of Donizetti's-Lucia di Lammmermoor at Covent Garden.
In the first section of her program Miss Sutherland will sing "Care Selve," from Atlanta; "Riortna OCaro," from Rodelinda; and "Di, Cor Mio," from Alcina; all operas by George Frederick Handel.
Dean Gorton said he hoped to prevail upon Miss Sutherland to sing a Verdi aria from "I Vesprini Sicilliani," but the effect of a recent illness may not permit her to.
She will conclude her performance with Osbradsers“Don Cantares Populares,” Granados“El Majo Discreto,” La Lettre“O Mon Cher Amant”) from Jacques Offenbach’s “La Perichole,” Delibes“Les Filles de Cadiz” and Verdi’s“Bolozer” from Act V of“I Vespriini Stiilani”.
Later in the fall Miss Sutherland will make her Metropolitan Opera Debut in Lucia.
