RATS GET LUNG CANCER:
Air Pollution Real Danger McCabe Says

Church Designs Shown

By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
Air pollution by industries is one
of the nation's most grave prob-
lems, according to Louis C. Mc-
Cabe.
McCabe, Scientist director of the
sanitary engineering services divi-
sion, United States Public Health
Service, Washington, D.C., es-
pecially emphasized the air pol-
lution problems being faced by'
Los Angeles, Cal., in a speech yes-
terday.
In a study made with rats, in
which the subjects were introduced
to an exact duplication of Los
Angeles air conditions, almost all
of the animals developed lung
cancer.
"The danger is particularly
acute with ozone pollution," he
explained. "For example, when
the concentration gets to 1.5 parts
of ozone per 1,000,000 parts of air,
human life is in danger.
"Thus far, Los Angeles ozone
concentration has at one point
reached a concentration of one."
McCabe added that while the
pollution may not affect healthy
individuals very strongly, with
people having weak hearts or res-
piratory problems, the danger of
death is increased.
Speaking on "Public Health As-
pects of Air Pollution" in the pub-
lid health school auditorium, the
scientist cited the 1952 London,
Eng., atmospheric problem, where
the death rate rose to 4,000 cas-
ualties above normal.

Contemporary American church
design is the subject of an exhibit
on the first floor of the College of
Architecture and Design.
The exhibit will be held until
November 25. It is sponsored by
the Bureau of Church Building of
the National Council of Churches
in the U.S.A. and consists of
photographs of recently - built
churches. Some of the architects
whose designs are shown in the
exhibit have won awards in a
contest sponsored by the Church
Architecture Guild of America.
The locations of these churches
include cities and towns ranging
from. Connecticut to Hawaii; and
the designs include traditional
buildings as well as some forms
disregarding traditional concepts,
such as the Shrine of the Angels
at Grand Canyon, Arizona.
Students' Work Exhibited
" The first floor exhibit of con-
temporary churches is only one of
several in the building.
On other floors the work of the
students themselves is on display.
The work of architecture stu-
dents occupies the college's second
floor. This display consists of
public building designs, plans for
neighborhoods and communities,
and projects in city planning and
designing, which now represents
the nearby communities of Saline
and Ypsilanti.

The third floor of the college
is devoted to exhibits of design by
students in the Art Department
of the college and features various
clock designs done by upper-class-
men.
Pencil Drawings on Fourth Floor
Introductory problems in art are
illustrated by pencil drawings on
the fourth floor. These drawings
are graphic illustrations of small
subjects, such as a piece of wood
or a fossil, and are lifelike repre-
sentations of the subject matter.
Book cover designs, paintings in
which various media are used, and
charcoal still-lifes complete the
display on the fourth floor of the
college.
Bertolt Brecht
Play To Open
"The Good Woman of Setzuan"
by Bertolt Brecht opens tomorrow
in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater
at 8 p.m.
Presented by the speech depart-
ment, Brecht's play takes place in
Setzuan, a contemporary Chinese
town. The story is a parable of
human good opposing evil in so-
ciety.

Studenits To Meet
Principals Here
High school principals and their
former students will get together
tomorrow and Thursday when the
University holds its 27th Annual
Principal-Freshman and Junior
College Conference.
Purpose of the Conference, ac-
cording to Chairman Clyde Vro-
man, U-M director of admissions,
is to promote a better understand-
ing of the needs of new students
at the University. This year's
theme is "The Instructional Pro-
gram."

Recent Cornell Study Shows
Students' Values Unchanged

College students aren't dis-
oriented or confused individuals.
A recent sociological study by
Cornell University finds college
students follow the dominant
values of society and their elders.
The study of the attitudes, goals
and values of more than 7,000 stu-
dents on 12 campuses revealed that
college students adhere to the old-
est and most universal rights con-
cerning their basic human values
and democratic principles.
Questioned on attitudes in the
areas of occupational choice, edu-
cation, religion, courtship and mar-
riage and politics, the survey dis-
pelled support for alarmists who
feel the younger generation is rap-
idly departing from the standards
of their parents.
In occupational choice, students'
believe in choosing a job permitting
them to use their talents rather
than placing first emphasis on
money, status and prestige.
Place For Education
Recognizing the importance of
their opportunity to go to college,
the students felt it was the place
for education. They also felt that
what they were learning in col-
lege was worthwhile. They main-
tained, however, that the criti-
cism against "production - line"
teaching today is justified.
The study showed the tendency

on campuses is toward religion,
with 80 per cent of the samples
feeling the need for religious faith
or philosophy and only one per
cent admitting atheism.
The students valued highly the
fundamental need for the state to
guarantee the traditional demo-
cratic rights. They ranked such
privileges as the individual's right
to protection against illegal search
of his home higher than the privi-
leges which affect his personal
experience, as the right to earn
money and to have a minimum
wage.
Show Conservatism
In matters of dating and mar-
riage, the students were tradi-
tional and conservative. They
,consider dating in college as a
preparation for marriage and feel
children are a necessary basis to
marriage.
The group at Cornell who con-
ducted the study with the aid of
Carnegie Corporation grants for
the past six years, conclude that
students' attitudes coincide with
prevailing public standards.

lution, with about a nalf of the
amount going to scientific research.
"There is at present," McCabe
said, "no definite solution other
than watching the chemical con-
centration of the air."
In tracing the history of air
pollution, the scientist cautioned
that while it is not a new prob-
lem, it has seldom reached the
dangerous points arrived at in the
past few years.
The first record of air pollution
occurs with Pliney the Younger,
in an account of the eruption of
Mt. Vesuvius. But McCabe, in'
paralleling modern times with!
ancient, pointed out that not until
1930 do we have any record of
massive air pollution.
In that year Belgium suffered
a contamination that destroyed
both animal and human lives,
Plant Dangers
He cautioned that air pollution
is not only dangerous to humans,
but that it destroys animal and

ticularly susceptible to sulfur
dioxide poisoning,
