Julekha Dash, Burnham's roommate, had harsh words for the landlord. "The fact is the landlord was negligent. How could anyone drop a dishwasher from forty feet up in the air? He didn't even look before he dropped the dishwasher," Dash said. CORNELL

Pro-Choice Activists Disrupt Conference, Scuffle With Cops

A group of pro-choice activists broke into an anti-abortion conference last week and refused to leave. Three of the protesters were arrested, and three security officers were slightly injured in the scuffle.

The group of protesters disrupted the Saturday morning event and kicked over a table of pro-life literature.

One person reportedly jumped on the back of a security officer, knocking him to the ground.

After security officers arrested a protester, the arresting officer was followed by crowds of pro-choice activists who demanded the student be released.

In the confusion, the arrested suspect escaped but was later captured and charged with avoiding arrest. STANFORD

Scientists Make Progress In Research on Cancer Vaccine

Researchers at Stanford University announced yesterday that they have made considerable progress in the development of a vaccine against cancer.

A team of researchers from the medical school have developed a vaccine taken from the cells of patients with B-cell lymphoma, a disease of the immune system.

The vaccine, researchers said, has prevented the recurrence of cancer in seven out of nine patients whose cancer had been sent into remission by chemotherapy.

Dr. Robert Schwartz of the New England Medical Center said the results found by the Stanford researchers provide a "ray of hope" for a therapeutic cancer vaccine.
