Harriers Finish Sixth Out of the ten teams that gained the status to compete in the district-3 southern regionals St. Andrews placed sixth. The course at Emory And Henry CoUege in Virginia was a unique experience for the harriers. Noted for their flatland running, the team faced the hills of Virginia for the first time this season. Coach Blackwell was sur prised to see that the times on the average were quite low for St. Andrews’ first experience on such terrain. Their times were as follows: Garry Ramey (27:12), Jim Somer ville (27:49), Steve Lowery (27:56), Mark Anderson (28:31), Jim Smith (28:46), Doug Wentz (28:56), Bill Bren nan (29:03). Garry Ramey commented, “there were no exceptional or poor per formances; everyone on the team ran an average race.” As an added bonus the team got the opportunity to meet and talk to Dave Wattle, the 1972 Olympic gold medalist m the 800 meter sprint, who is currently coaching the Bethany College cross country team. This race concludes the finest season St. Andrews cross country team has ever had. The team urges all persons interested in cross country or track to see coach Blackwell about a training schedule and to become a part of a winning team. if- % THE CHORUS OF WISE PEOPLE considers the problems of Thebes.

Review The King by steve newton Tf T mav be allowed a reminiscense: four years ago I had my ,lit iZd^col™ theatre at St. Andrews with the Hghland Players’ production of “Antigone.” The play was staged m what one viewer so fondly called “Civil War Drag” while s^^atmg on the inability of director Arthur McDonaW’s inabdity to stage rSeek drama in “authentic setting.” lUe respon^ to that remains Dr. McDonald’s insistence that toe plays of Sophocles are both timeless and universally applicable. • Thus is “Oedipus the King” presented “remytoolopzed in the far fauture with settings of mylar and talk of planets, orbits. Ford’s lighting, which will change the depth of the stage from second to second or Amy Burgett’s amazmg ^ serve quite admirably to project a future filled with Star Warriors, there is a far better reason to view the play. That reason is, quite simply, the acting. John Courtney’s Oedipus is played with the surety and deftness which has always marked that f the stage here. Oedipus, of whom the chorus saw him more the world with his will, and we f look, the storm destroys him, the sea Has come is every bit the tragic hero under coustney, destroyed by a combination of pride and circumstance^ pn,,allv The characterization of Creon by David Miller is equally perceptive.' The King’s brother-in-law is a more complex personality that must be aired in less time. Nonethekss, Mille makes the contradictions of Creon acceptable to his audenc^ and when he leaves Oedipus saying, me, you never understood me,” it is both forceful Brown is properly regal and queenly as the d^med Jocasta. The chorus of wise persons is adoptly kept an Integra nart of the play by George Anderson, Mary Beasty ^d Fred Harhin. Tlie other speaking parts are well Woodson, imperious as the Priestess; Sheila Blanchard, playmg out the overeager messenger; Tom Guinn, cringing and w g as the old man; and Chris Carter, whose part, if not exactly a speaking one, is one of the most potent in the show. A superb cast is rounded out by Nacny Henry, Charles Perkins, Stanley, Barbara Laricka and Kendall McDonald. It should be remembered that ‘ ‘Oedipus the King is still v^ much a Sophoclean drama, which necessarily entails a nmbe of long individual a speeches. These monologues might nave slowed the pace of the play to a crawl in places had it not “een for the steady and innovative hands of Director McDonal Assistanct Director Carol Wise. There have been many good plays at St. Andrews m the p^a four years. There have been some great ones. Certainly production of “Oedipus the King” deserves to be remembereo among the best. 1C UCdU Vhat Is “Attitude”? If you have seen the St. An drews basketball team’s new practice jersey you are pro bably wondering what “at titude’ ’ stood for on the back of the shirts. As co-captains But ch Keller puts it “Due to a positive attitude the outlook of this team is brighter than in past years.” Along with a good attitude, an excellent recruiting year by Coach Doug Riley, makes the outlook for the basketball team’s bright indeed. The Knight’s coach brought in thirteen excellent freshmen players, who cranbined with the five upperclassmen, give the team depth at all positions. Ci)-captain Andy Jones puts it, “I feel the depth is better than in the past.” The Knights open their season in the Patriot Doubleheader tournament at Francis Marion College on November 24-25. They play Coker College in the first round of the tournament. The Knights first home game is Tuesday, November 28, alM against Coker College. This team has worked hard and deserves the support of the St. Andrews Community. Jim Smith
