MUCH ADO'
Mac Gregor To Speak on God Sunday
Dr. Geddes MacGregor will conclude his series of chapel addresses on “God: Much Ado about Nothing,” Sunday at the 11 a.m. Bovard Auditorium Worship Service.
In his previous addresses, SC’s religion professor has tackl- | ed the problem of man's inter-preation of religion today in the world of science.
Verification by observation is the basis upon which modern man builds his reasoning. The concept of God, however, cannot be the subject of empirical investigation. This, said Dr. MacGregor, throws modern man into a dilemma, for he finds worthlessness and meaninglessness in theological and religious ‘‘talk.’’
Dr. MacGregor came to the United States in 1949 as the first holder of the Rufus Jones Chair of Philosophy and Religion at. Br>n Mawr. From 1947 to 1949 he was assistant to the British p h il o s o p h e r-scientist, A. D. Ritchie, in the department of philosophy, University of Edinburgh.
He received the French Doc-torat-es-lettres, the highest honorable mention from the Sor-bonne, Paris. In 1948 MacGregor was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, London.
He was ordained to the ministry of the Church of Scotland in 1939 and served for two years as Senior Assistant to the Dean of the Chapel Royal in Scotland at St. Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh. and for 8 years was minister of Trinity Church, Glasgow.

Today's Weather
It will be warmer on campus today as low; clouds and early morning fog clear for a sunny afternoon. The expected high
is 7T. Low last night was 54.
Dr. Hurley L. Motley of the SC School of Medicine told a meeting of biologists in Atlantic City yesterday that smog produces especially bad effects in persons suffering from lung diseases such as asthma and emphysema.
Speaking before the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, he said that smog reduces the size of the openings of thousands of tiny tubes leading to the air sacs in the lungs by swelling the tubes or stimulating secretions with excess fluid.
Smog Takes Effect
It takes a day and sometimes two or three of smog to affect these persons to the maximum. However, it takes more than two days
for them to get over the
effects, he said.
Dr. Motley pointed out that the normal person gets along fairly well breathing smoggy air unless he is allergic to it. Of course, smog can irritate the normal persons eyes, and make him cough and weeze and sometimes give him chest pains and nausea.
Much Controversy
“The health effect of air polution has been the subject of much controversy in the world," Dr. Motley said. “Elderly individuals with chronic pulmonary and cardiac disability appear to suffer the most. A number of clinicians in the Los Angeles area have attributed the increasing severity of symptoms in chronically ill patients to air pollution."
“Because of the absence of coal smoke, the composition of Los Angeles smog is different from that found in many other parts of the country such as in St. Louis, Pittsburgh or New York,” he said.
Other Constituents
‘ Other Constituents of smog may be more harmful than the four used for calling alerts — ozone, oxides of nitrogen, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide. These are various aldehydes, olefins, aerosols, unsaturated hydrocarbons, peroxides, particular matter and others.
The composition of smog changes from hour to hour at a given specific location as on a street corner in downtown Los Angeles, for
example. Synthetic smog
mixtures which might be
used in studying the effects on man appear un-likely to reproduce the same response as the naturally occurring air pollution in this area,” he said.
Completed Research
Dr. Motley has just completed three years of research on the effect of Los Angeles smog on lung volume measurements. H i s volunteer subjects were 50 men and 16 women, ranging in age from 19 to 71. Most were over 50 and the majority had emphysema, a disease in which the lungs lose their elasticity and are always overfilled with air.
Following three or four
smoggy days, these volunteers came to the Southern California cardio-respiratory laboratory ,
