Friends remember Angell -IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports (Continuedfro rPage3) Landecker said. ANGELL TAUGHT freshman seminars and introductory classes at the University after he retired. Landecker, who also studied under Angell, said "Professor Angell had respect for students' opinions and he 'was honest when he taught. If he didn't know the answer to a question, he would say so," Landecker recalled. Myron Wegman, dean emeritus of the School of Public Health, agreed. He said Angell was a "stimulating teacher" even .when he was in his seventies. Angell was the author of several publications which include The Campus (1928), The Integration of American Society (1941), and The Quest for World Order (1979). In addition to his academic endeavors, Angell was active in the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization and other service groups. He was an American delegate to UNESCO's General Conferences in 1952 and 1954. Angell was modestly quiet about his family's strong ties to the University. Angell Hall is named for his gran- dfather, James Burrill Angell, who was. the University's third president. His mother's father, Thomas Cooley, was a Law School dean who is honored by the fountain next to the Michigan League. East Quad's Cooley House, is named for his uncle, Charles Cooley, who was one of the sociology depar- tment's original professors. Angell is survived by his wife, Esther, and their children, James and Sarah. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. today at the First Presbyterian Church, 1432 Washtenaw. The funeral service will be private." Spring thaw floods Rockies The thawing of the Rocky moun- tain snowpack sent mudslides or floodwaters cascading into com- munities in three states yesterdgy, smashing homes and forcing hun- dreds to evacuate. Record warm temperatures persisted in the Southwest. One massive mudslide swooped into the foothill town of East Layton, Utah, early yesterday, damaging at least six homes and prompting of- ficials to order the evacuation of 150 others. The evacuees were taken to a Mormon Church building in a town about 20 miles north of Salt Lake City. In Wyoming, a third day of tem- peratures in the 80s kept snow melting rapidly, causing flooding in the southern part of the state and uncovering the carcasses of thousands of cattle and sheep killed in last month's blizzard in the nor- thern part of the state. Athens explosion injures 99 ATHENS, Greece - A powerful explosion ripped through an eight- story office building in central Athens during the lunch hour yesterday, injuring 99 people - 10 of them seriously. Police believed the explosion was caused by a gas leakage in a Greek cheese pie shop on the ground floor of the building. The explosion heavily damaged the building, wrecked nearby shops and cars and sprayed glass and rub- ble into the crowded street. The buildings inner walls and the ceilings of several floors collapsed. American couple freed COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Separatist guerrillas freed a kid- napped American couple yesterday in a dense jungle inhabited by leopards and elephants but troops found no trace of the pair and feared for their safety, officials said. National Security Minister Lalith Athulathmudali said authorities were concerned about the fate of Stanley Allen, 36, and his wife, Mary Elizabeth, 30, of Columbus, Ohio, who were married in March. He said troops searching for the couple were unable to locate them and would continue the search through the night. Cyanide incident isolated NANITOWOC, Wis. - The death of a 34-year-old man who drank a bottle of Coca-Cola that had been spiked with cyanide appears to be an isolated incident and there is no reason for the public to be "uptight" police said yesterday. Police Chief LeRoy Strauss and Manitowoc County District Attorney Denis Vogel said they have all but discounted the possibility that the contamination of the soda that killed Thomas Dresser occurred at the Chicago bottling plant where the soft drink was produced. Dresser, 34, who died last Thur- sday after drinking from a 16-ounce bottle of Coke, was buried yester- day. Authorities said they have no major leads and are not seeking any recalls of Coca-Cola. Arms sales top $1 trillion WASHINGTON - The world will be spending $1 trillion for weapons and other military purposes by next year, the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency reported yesterday. From less than $300 billion in 1972, spending rose to about $820 billion in 1982, and will reach about $970 billion this year. Inflation was partly responsible for the rise, but even in real dollars spending is increased an average of 3.1 percent a year. The Soviet Union, the top arms supplier since 1978, held 30.1 percent of the arms market in 1982. The United States was second with 26.2 percent. However, the NATO allies led the Warsaw Pact, 47.9 to 38.3 percent. Marcos losing election MANILA, Philippines - foes of President Ferdinand Marcos led in early, unofficial vote returns from yesterday's violence-plagued elec- tions for a 183-member National Assembly. Fifty-three people were reported killed in two days of elec- tion violence. Voters appeared to turn out in large numbers, although many op- position leaders urged the nation's 51 million people to shun the elec- tion, claiming it would be fixed. At least 53 people, most of them soldiers or police, died in more than a dozen election-related clashes reported by the military, police and local reporters.
