Students Will Picket Greek Minister

By M. DAVID Landau

A group of Harvard students and employees opposed to the Greek military regime is planning to demonstrate against the Greek Minister of Education and Religion when he visits Harvard this afternoon.

The group will picket at 1 p. m. in front of the Faulty Club, where the minister. Nikitas Sioris, is planning to have lunch with Dana M. Cotton, acting dean of the Ed School, and other Ed School officials. The demonstrators will then follow Sioris when he leaves the Faculty Club and visits Widener Library and the Business School.

"His visit has absolutely nothing todo with education," said Cynthia Angelides, an employee in Hilles Library and an anti-junta activist. "I just feel responsible for doing something about it."

Sioris is visiting the United States at the invitation of the State Department. Harvard is hosting him under an arrangement with the Federal government by which it regularly accepts foreign visitors as part of a "cultural exchange" program.

Complaints at Harvard against Sioris's visit continued to mount yesterday. The University Marshal's office-which is in charge of the visit-was barraged with unfriendly phone calls throughout the day.

Despite speculation that Sioris's visit to Harvard might be cancelled, William Anderson, University Marshal, said last night that his visit would proceed as scheduled.
