expect to bear the brunt of the

the Ludwig, and are working at the

leading edge of research in signal

transduction in mitogenesi ,and in the

interaction between viral oncoprotein

and the tumour suppres or gene 1'53.

They will continue to develop their

previous work on human papilloma

which will produce collaboration with

the extensive work on gynaecological

Cancer of the pa ncreas remai ns one of

the major killers in the C K, and most

already paid the price.

there been an ,but actually it wa a

well rehearsed plan going into action,

their stuff, dragging bodie out of the

water and tending to the wounded on

and they called them non-combatants. I

would not have changed place with

them for a fortune. We truggled acro 5

the loose 5and, running, slipping and

dodging, till finally we reached the top

of the beach and clambered into theyard of a nearby house, where we

quickl formed up and a check wasmade. A yet we had suffered no troop

community, was upremely Important,

and thiS howed in the way the

College approached its tudents and

staff. Ilow that differs with the present

organisation runs an exam machine

whose sole aim is to pull In as many

tuden (and therefore as much

money) a pos Ible, u Ing them a a

commodity and then processing them

out With a degree. The Importance of
