BR. GROVESlIS ON
GROUP STUDYING
MIXED MARRIAGE
m
Committee Advises Against In
termarriage of Protestants
And Roman Catholics.
Dr. Ernest R. Groves, profes
sor of sociology in the Univer
sity, was a lay member of the
Federal Council of Churches
committee on marriage and the
liome, which recommended this
week to the council that Protes
tants refrain from intermarri
age with Roman Catholics be
cause of the latter's "intolerable"
.attitude towards such a union.
The recommendation was one of
the four made by the commit
tee in New York after a study
of the subject of "mixed marri
ages" extending over several
months. ' ,
Mixed Marriages
Mixed marriages should not be
undertaken, the committee af
firmed, where "intolerable con
ditions are imposed by either
-church in which membership is
leld." The group referred to
the Vatican decree of February
5, requiring that the children of
marriages between Roman Cath
olics and non-Catholics be reared
in the Roman Catholic faith.
"For example, if one of the
partners to a mixed marriage
submits to the dictation of such
an authority and promises that
lis children be brought up in a
faith which he does not share,
reason and conscience are offend
ed, the seeds of future discord
are sowed at the very outset of
married life, and the prospect of
true marriage becomes remote,"
continues the committee's re
port. Prominent Committee
Serving on the committee with
Dr. Groves, were Dr. Howard
Chandler Robbins of the General
Theological seminary, New
York, chairman; George W.
Wickersham, Professor Alva W.
Taylor of Vanderbilt University,
Mrs. Robert E. Speer, president
of the national board of Y. W.

Novel Method of Getting Rid
Electric Light Bulbs Is Discovered by Intrepid "
Students Who Coolly Devour Them.
o
Broken electric light bulbs
and discarded razor blades serve
as handy and inexpensive hors
d'oeuvres for certain Carolina
students who apparently possess
cast iron disrestive " svstems.
Whether this is a result of the
current depression and is found
to be more economical to dine on
frosted glass bulbs than board
ing house steaks is conjectural.
Or perhaps eating glass merely
serves as a sort of apprentice
ship for future sword swallow-
ers, fire-eaters, and the like.
Razor Blades Too
Perhaps the mysterious disap
pearance of electric light bulbs
from the dormitory bathrooms
can be attributed to these glass
hungry individuals, or maybe
they can be relied upon as pos
sible means of getting rid of old
razor blades.
Two University freshmen
have demonstrated the art
of glass and razor-blade eating
to incredulous individuals with
the sole proviso that the latter
furnish the materials to be con
sumed.
When asked how it was done,
Reeve Haerood stated that

superintendent of the Orange
county schools while a junior and
senior here, Dr. Charles E.
Maddry today is corresponding

Dr. Maddry was Horn in Chap
el Hill and grew up on a farm.
He attended high school in Chap
el Hill and entered the Univer
sity in 1898. During his first
two college years he supported
himself by waiting on tables in
old Commons hall and by work
ing at other jobs. In his junior
year he was elected superin
tendent of the Orange county
schools. He remained two years
as a senior, graduating with a
Ph.B. degree in 1903.
At the same time he was a
student and schools superintend
ent Maddry served as pastor of
the Baptist church at Hillsboro,
together with three county
churches. He resigned this work
in 1904 and entered the South
ern Baptist Theological Semin
ary in Louisville, Kentucky.
Leaving the seminary in 1905,
he became pastor of two mission
churches in Greensboro, where
he organized the Forest Avenue
church. He was pastor of this
church until 1909 when he went
to the First Baptist church in

of Discarded Razor Blades and
thorough chewing of the glass
was all that is necessary to avoid
harmful effects. "It's all in
knowing how," they said.
Phenomenon Explained
Launching into a flood of tech
nical terms, one of the experts
explained how the . particular
type of glass of which electric
light bulbs are made has smooth
edges, and if properly masti
cated, will not prove dangerous.
The action of acids used in pre
paring the glass is asserted to
cause this phenomenon of
smooth breakage. Old-style Gil
lette razor blades can be eaten
in small bits with similar ease.
Demonstrating the art of
glass-eating, one of the artists
broke an electric light bulb and,
taking small bits of glass, chew
ed them thoroughly and swal
lowed them. No harmful effects
were noticed except a slight irri
tation of his gums. He explained
that such irritations did not oc-.
cur often. The art has been
taught to several students in one
of the lower quadrangle build
ings and is bidding fair to sur
pass ping pong as an indoor
pastime.

NEW SPEAKER IS
INDUCTED BY PHI
In his inaugural address Tues
day night, Speaker John Wilkin
son of the Phi assembly stated
that as speaker his efforts would
be directed toward establishing
higher attendance at meetings
strictly according to parliamen
tary law, in order that the pres
tige of the assembly and its
benefits to members would be im
proved. The proposed measure to abol
ish examinations for those main
taining a "B" ' average on any
course was defeated by a vote
of seventeen to sixteen. A meas
ure proposing the establishment
of a bureau to issue "bumming"
licenses was defeated by a vote
of twenty to twelve. :
Genius Is Insanity
Genius is a disease, according
to W. Lamage-Eighbaum, Ger
man author of The Problem of
Genius. In the majority of cases,
recognized genius has been
coupled with insanity. Modern
peoples are prone to worship
genius as though it were the. in
dication of the higher evolution
of our race but genius is some
thing which may prognosticate
the ultimate extinction of our
race. Genius is sickness, but in
the majority of cases gifted in
sanity wins out over healthy nor
mal talents in the fields of imag
inative writing and music.
