THE MICHIGAN DAILY Surgery Department Chairman, Retires "We are way beyond the mech- anistic view that removal is the only treatment for cancer," he said. "Today we are treating many types of cancer successfully, and are working closely with other specialties in a teamwork ap- proach to this disease." He met his wife, Jessie, in Tacoma, Washington. They were married in 1917 and have two daughters who have reared seven grandchildren. He attended South Dakota State College, and graduated from Har- vard Medical School in 1912. In 1920, after service in the Army Medical Corps, Dr. Coller became assistant professor of surgery at the University. He was promoted to associate professor in 1923, to full professor in 1925. He is devoted to the classroom, and warns of hard work the medi- cal student must put forth. "The principle is the samd as in any other teaching - you can't 'teach' anybody anything; all you can do is give them an opportunity to learn. The student then has to do his own learning."; Document Safeguards Freedoms (Continued on Page 2) present and future disputes with its neighbor to a third party for arbitration.

Believing that it cannot main- tain its independence by itself, Pakistan has signed a military agreement with the United States and Turkey and joined SEATO and Baghdad Pact.

The Constitution safeguards the life, liberty, religion, culture, and property of the people. Laws inconsistent with these basic rights are void. The constitu- tion enjoins on the state the duty to promote the social and eco- nomic well-being of the people.

After ten months in the Immature stage, the ichneumon spins a cocoon and then emerges as an adult with wings, "One reason people haven't been concerned with these flies, even' though they flit around every- where,' says Dr. Townes, "is be- cause they are nice little fellows, who relish attacking certain pests and then mind their own business." Dr. Townes has been studying these flies for almost a quarter of a century. He has collected, identi- flied, and classified more than 3,000 of the estimated 7,500 species of the ichneumon in North America. Dr. Townes says "Collecting the ichneumon is not hard, but classi- fying each new species is time consuming and difficult because each one must be checked with others that share some of its char- acteristics. Then a detailed de- scription of its morphology, geo- graphic distribution and host in- sects must be written in such a manner so that it will be useful to other researchers." Although at first glance the dif- ferent species of ichneumon ap- pear alike, Dr. Towne says there is as much difference between them as a Ford and a Buick. The size of the insect ranges from that of a gnat to several inches long. Its wings are trans- lucent, it is thin-bodied, and col- lored brown, black, red, or yellow. SHOPPING: Centers Seen As Expanding Shopping centers comparable to Northland will spread throughout Europe, believes Wells Bennett, retired dean of the College of Architecture and Design. Bennett noted that the centers will spread as middle and lower classes enjoy greater prosperity. Writing in the summer issue of The Michigan Alumnuis Quarterly Review, Bennett says the Lijnbaan center in Rotterdam and the Len- bachplatz center in Munilch "are in a sense hopeful symbols." "They represent not only the determination to rebuild in the architectural sense, but the will to have the amenities of life," he stated. I rinsing makes the difference Clothes are never any cleaner than the last rinse water. That's why our laundry rinses your clothes with four to six changes of water. To the final rinse, a special rinsing agent is added. It removes dulling soap film from clothes just as a lemon juice rinse gives added luster to a shampoo.
