First Student Emcee Faculty Members Qiscuss Politics At Town Meeting By LEN GOODMAN The Republican administration has itself in a dilemma of its own making in foreign policy, declared Vernon Aspaturian, assistant pro fessor of political science, at the opening Town Meeting of the Hillel Foundation Sunday . eve ning. . The opening session in the four teenth annual series featured Ar thur Reede, professor in econom ics, Aspaturian, and Leon- Quin to, assistant professor of econom ics. The topic was “The Republi can Administration in Retrospect and Prospect.” President Eisenhower espoused a policy of “liberation” during the 1952 campaign, rather than the policy of “containment”- of th'e Kennan-Truman-Acheson variety, Aspaturian said. Now, the U.S. cannot negotiate with the Soviet Union, since any compromise can only mean “appeasement” of the “enslaver.” 'Middle-Road' Policy President Eisenhower has been following a middle-of-the-road course all the way, Reede stated. The result is, he said, that he has been bombarded with criticism from both sides. The question seems to be, Reede added, h6w far he can move without identifying himself with the right wing of the Republican Party, the wing dom inating most major committee posts of Congress. . Quinto expressed his confidence in the economic principles of the late John M. Keynes, prominent English economist, as the “savior of the Republican Party.” Free enterprise is necessary under the Keynsian economics, he said, for full employment. Agriculture is vastly overex panded, Quinto added. A policy of “free markets” should govern our “sturdy-tillers of the soil,” he said. NATO. EDC Included In depicting the deficiencies of the foreign policy of the Eisen hower administration, Aspaturian also concluded that the only con sistent elements of the policy were a carry-over from the past administration. These elements included the North Atlantic Treaty pact, the European De fense Community plan, and our stand in South Korea. “The President must recognize that he must exercise ‘some’ lead ership,”. Aspaturian said, Or the .leadership will fall somewhere else. Both Senators MacCarthy and. Bricker are ready to wield that power, he added. A “holy crusade” against Com munism and the Soviet Union is dangerous, Aspaturian declared, since compromise is impossible and total war inevitable. This basic philosophy is the only dif ference . between the present “luce” foreign policy and that of Truman and Acheson, which al lowed for compromise based on power relationships, he said. 'Let's Face It' Party - Thespians and crews for the recent musical “Let’s Face It” will hold a party from 9 to 12 p.m. Saturday at Theta Chi.

State Alumnus Gains Movie Fame State College movie audiences seldom realize they frequently see an alumnus of the College performing on the screens that prob ably afforded entertainment for him a few years ago. It was during a rehearsal of “The Taming of the Shrew” in Schwab Auditorium that Hollywood scouts saw Don Taylor for. the first time. They promptly took him West for screen tests. r Taylor’s latest role, and one of his best, was as the lieutenant in “Stalag 17.” The movie is already mentioned as a possible Oscar winner. Taylor is a Sigma Nu and a member of the Class of 1942. An arts and letters .major, he was also prc'i.'ent of Theta Alpha Phi, dramatics honorary, and Blue Key, junior men’s hat society. Player and Thespian Taylor was born in Pittsburgh and attended Freeport High School. Among the many movies in which he has been featured are “Battleground,” “Father of the Bride,” “The Blue Veil,” “Father’s Little Dividend,” “The Naked City,” “Ambush,” Salute to the Marines,” “The Girls from Plea sure .Island” and “Girl Crazy.” While at State, Taylor appeared in such Player and Thespian pro ductions as “Winterset,” “Margin for Error,” “Hotel Universal,” “Our Town,” “Goodby Again,” “The Male Animal,” “The Tam ing of the Shrew” and “Mr. and Mrs. North.” Taylor received his “break” in the New York stage production of Moss Hart’s “Winged Victory.” He played opposite Phyllis Avery, whom he later married. Taylor also performed the role in the screen production. He had made his screen debut in “Girl Crazy” with Judy Garland, but Pinky in “Winged Victory” was his first featured role. Schwab io Hollywood Taylor played the young detec tive in the Mark Hellinger story, “The Naked City,” co-starring with Barry Fitzgerald. He ap peared as Elizabeth Taylor’s har assed husband in both “Father of the Bride,” and “Father’s Little Dividend,” and with another Tay lor, Robert, in “Ambush.” None of the three are related/ Schwab to Hollywood may seem like quite a trip to the neophyte actor, but Taylor is living proof that it can, and did, happen.
