College Writer'S
Views on Marriage
Stir Controversy
Churchman Urges U. S
Bar Publication From
Mail; School Acts

OBERLIN, O., March 20.
(UP)-Miss Marjorie Myers,
19-year old sophomore from
New York City, stirred the
Oberlin college campus to-
day and residents of this staid col
lege town with her views on mar
riage, love and sex as expressed in
her column I'VE Wimmin" in the
Oberlin Review.
Miss Myers advocated elimina-
ton of the phrase "forsaking all
others, keep ye only unto her" from
the marriage ceremony since mar
riage should not necessarily demand
sexual fidelity or constancy."
Miss Myers opinions were attack
ed by the Rev. w. c. O'Laughlin,
pastor of the Oberlin Catholic
church of the Sacred Heart, who
asked the post office inspection de-
partment to ban permanently from
the mails the Review. Father o.
Caughlin asked that The department
institute whatever criminal action
it seems proper both against the
writer and the publisher"
The review editorially defended
the right of Miss Myers to express
her own opinion even though it was
minority opinion.
Last week the women's board OF
the college, composed of Miss Mar
guerite Woodworth, dean of women
and eight faculty members, gave
Miss Myers her choice of leaving
college or being in her dormitory
by Tbs every evening. The Women's
Self Government league protested
the punishment as too severe and
maintained that it had jurisdic-
ton in the case.
