A foot-square chunk of wood and a shower of smaller pieces plummetted down from the Eliot tower yesterday initiating a thorough investigation by the University maintenance crew.
Nobody was hurt by the bits of ornamentation that fell by the doors of the dining room in the Yard. Barricades have been set up at that point, however, and will remain until the tower is double-checked by the maintenance men.
"It's nothing serious," Construction Superintendent Cecil A. Roberts assured worried Eliot residents. "I think that we'll just have to replace and strengthen a few pieces of decoration."
