As Speaker
By RODNEY BARFIELD
Dr Arthur Larsen, member of
Die law faculty and director of
the World-Rule of Law Center at
Puke University, was a guest
speaker on the Elon campus on
Xnday, January 11th, speaking on
the topic of “A Foreign Policy For
Today" under the auspices of the
Elon Liberal Arts Forum.
Speaking in Mooney Chapel ,
Theatre, Dr. Larson opened his
talk with a look at America’s
present foreign policy and its fail- ‘
lire to achieve the resired results,
and he pointed out that all foreign
policy must by judged in terms
of its results.
He continued by expressing the
thought that America’s foreign
policy of the past decade has not
only failed when judged by re
sults, but more depressing, has
transformed former friends and
allies into suspicious neutrals, if
not actual enemies. He offered the
Dominican situation as a glaring
example.
He found America’s policy of
“massive containment” toward the
Soviet Union especially anachron

answer for keeping the militant
Chinese giant in line. He recog-

^^The entire production was chw-
cterized by fine performances and
standing portrayals. Wayne Sey

after his leads in last year's “The
Zoo Story” and “South Pacific ,
seemed to realize that his role as
the dashing El Gallo was a crucial
one. Accepting the responsibility
of setting the moods through wel
written soliloqies, Seymour went
several steps further and succeed

Making successful debuts on the

Myrick, as Matt, gave to the
part the required boyish naivete
and fine voice that were called
for. Matt, an incurable romantic
who was told by his father to
“ . recite simplicity one-hundred
times”, left Luisa to see the world,
and came back with memories of
the “slop-pots” that were hurled
at him as he serenaded senoritas.
Steve Myrick, in portraying Matt,
did so with a very believable
transition into the disillusionment
that strongly influenced the char
acter.
