A symposium to point up the
contrasts and similarities be
tween two religious viewpoints
was Monday night's featured
R.K. Week presentation.
Participating were The Rev.
Edward .Spear, assistant pastor
of St. Mary's Parish, Mt. Angel
Ore who presented the Roman
Catholic viewpoint, and Moham
med T. Medhi, director of the
Arab Information Center at an
Francisco, who presented the
Moslem viewpoint.
"I have rarely come In con
tact with mai it si conflict in
dealing with married couples
within the Catholic Church," Rev.
Spear raid, as he commented on
the Church's stand on marriage.
Positive Emphasis Stressed
He went on to explain that,
although this doesn’t neces
sarily mean that Catholics have
better marriages than the aver
age, he feels that this fact stems
from the Church's positive em
phasis on the vital importance of
marriage in the fulfillment of
man's purpose in life.
“God created man to be happy,
to know and serve Him. He en
dowed man with the dignity of
self-control, realization of his re
sponsibilities to himself, and the
knowledge that he is answerable
to Gcal.”
Moslem Hackgrnund Given
Aftei a brief background about
the Moslem faith, Mahdi stated
that he felt that the position of
women was considerably im
proved after the introduction of
the teachings of the prophet Mo
hammed.
"Mohammed said," the speaker
related, "that women were almost
as good ns men. Two women were
to equal the value of one man.
Thus arose the question of po
lygamy in the Islam faith.”
Spear Evaluates Concepts
Rev. Spear went on to say that
marriage should be entered into
with full consciousness of the
duty that one has to the per
son he marries. Comparing mod
ern day concepts to the beliefs
held during the Middle Ages, he
pointed out thpt the then preva
lent feeling was that the respon
sibility to carry out all the duties
of marriage was primary to the
consideration of the spouse.

University Grad
Discusses Career
rum work is the falsest, most
rotten business I’ve ever been in
but I love it,” commented Paul
Wcxler, ’51 graduate of the Uni
versity, concerning his current
career in television and the
movies.
"I'm different," the actor ex
plainer!, although his six-foot-six
Iran frame, beaided face, deep
voice immediately call attention
to him.
"Basically. I'm a character ac
tor," VVexlrr said. In this field, he
has appeared in television pro
luctions of "Sheriff of Cochise”
ind ’’Official Detective."
His latest picture features him
as the pirate “Horseface" in "The
Buccaneer.” Starring in the pic
ture was Yul Brynr.er.
Wcxler, who is visiting friends
in Eugene, appeared on KVAL
rv Monday afler a short visit to
campus in the morning.
"This is quite a pace," he said,
■referring to his life in Los
Angeles. "I'm a chain smoker
now,” as he lit the fourth ciga
rette in a short time. "Usually
smoke about three packs a day,"
he continued.
"I'd like to come back to school

reminisced about hL school days.
"I'd probably take some graduate
courses in drama a.nd other fields
and work in UT productions.”
During his University days,
VVexler worked at Fennell's on
campus.
“I do just about any type of
i ole, romantics, heavies, a wide
variety.” Wcxler enjoyed most
his role in “Terror in the Streets,”
in which he played a deaf mute,
starring opposite Linda Darnell.
The part was the test of a good
actor, he felt, as it was some
thing he had to work out in
paritomine. His other two favorite
parts were relatively minor, he
said, hut also < ffered a challenge.
In each he had the part of a
mentally-ill killer.
“I like to be somebody else. I
get most of my characters from
watching p< ople, as in restau
rants. bars one of my best was
a guy I found in a skid row gut
ter.” he commented.
Wexler commented that he had
been a pre-med student at the
University for three years and
then switched to drama in his
senior year. He was active in the
UT during his undergraduate
days, starring in several produc
tions.
Not only was the UT a good
background for his future pro
fession. but Wexler met his wife,
the former Susan McAndie, a
UO graduate, backstage.
She later became active in
theatre and did professional
dancing in the Los Angeles area
before marrying Wexler. The
couple now has a three-year-old
son. whom they call -'Boy,” but
is officially Glen.
“He's a big ham,” the actor
said proudly, “with his back
ground he 11 probably be an actor
too.”
