ffl ai, fifth, Disaster was the key to international events this year. Major transportation mishaps on sea and in the air, lighting in the Middle-East and communist- opposed revolutions were among the major events that brought about this situation. Many of these affected Northwestern students. On July 26 the Swedish liner Stock- holm and the Italian ship Andria-Doria collided in the fog off Nantucket, kill- ing fifty people. Among the 1,118 Doria passengers rescued was Dr. Eva Odehnal, en route from Austria. Her destination, North- western University, where she planned to do graduate work in economics. X. xg Another travel disaster on June 30 saw a TVVA and United airplane col- lide over Grand Canyon killing 128 people in history's worst airline disaster. On the same July day that saw the Doria's doom, Egyptian President Ab- dul Gamel Nasser announced his in- tention of nationalizing the Suez Canal. After conferences failed to change Nasser's mind, England and France took violent action despite United States opposition. On October 31 An- glo-French planes bombed Egyptian airhelds in what they termed an at- tempt to keep the canal open to all. England made headlines again in February when Sir Anthony Eden was Hungary, Suez, Israel A year like all years, 7957 saw disaster in many areas-revolt and war filled headlines replaced as Prime Minister by Harold MacMillan. Israeli-Arab lighting brought more trouble to the Middle-East. The international events that had perhaps the most profound effect on Northwestern were student-led upris- ings in Poland and Hungary. While fighting continued in Hun- gary, an escaped Freedom Fighter spoke at Tech and asked for help. Northwestern students answered his plea for aid by forming a Committee for a Free Hungary. Clothes and money were collected and were supplemented by 152,800 from the Student Service Fund. MXWW Miss Eva Odehnal takes time out from her graduate studies for a cup of Grill coffee. A passenger on the Andria Doria, she lost all her luggage and her half finished Ph.D. dissertation when the liner went down.
