Principal speaker at the Greensboro Quota Club’s annual Woman of the Y'ear” banquet Monday was Robert F, Daven- Port, college pastor at St. An drews Presbyterian College.

No non-Orange men will be per mitted in the main lounge oi on the porch immediately out side. Violation is a Residence Court offense. This privilege permits lounge use only; girls may not remain on the porch or in the courtyard after closing hours. by JOE JUNOD An overwhelmingly partisan crowd chanted ‘-We are Number ONE’’ with uncanny passion and vigor as the St. Andrews Knights snapped out of a second half slump and dethroned the reign- ins champions of the Dixie Con ference, Lynchburg College, 77-75, in the final tournament game Saturday night on the Harris Courts. The roar in creased as the Cinderella team accepted the tropin' and Tony Fernandez was named to the five man All-Tournament team. Then pandemonium reigned as Most Valuable Player and All-Tournament Awards went to Craig Hannas for his sterling performances in the three St. Andrews victories. After amassing a nine point lead at halftime of the final, the Kniglits couldn’t find the basket and Lynchburg turned the game into a seesaw battle. With less than two minutes left in the game, Doug McKin ney hit a iump shot which put Lynchburg ahead 71-70. Ronnie Mason followed suit and gave the Hornets a three point lead with another jump shot. With both squads exercising a full court press, Rusty Lester brought the game within one point as he landed a long jump shot. Then Hannas was fouled under the Lvnchburg basket. ‘Tt was the longest walk of my life”, the New Jersev star said after the eame. He promptly swished his 74th and 7"jth points of the tournament and put St. Andrews in front 74-73. Suddenly Gar\' Gredlein had picked off a Lynch burg throw-in and was fouled as he spun the ball off the back board into the nets. The fresh man guard then added the 77th team point from the foul line. Bill Coffee closed the gap with a la\'-up which left the Hornets two points behind, 77-75. In an attempted freeze Hannas was called for walking with the liall and Lynchburg gained pos session with :09 seconds re maining. The Hornets brought Novak, Visiting Scientist, Views Darwin’s Theory of Evolution "Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution may be argual'lefrom many standpoints, but it’s still the best explanation at this point in history.” Dr. Alfred Novak, distin guished scientist from Stephens College, made this conmient Tuesday night in a public lec ture in the gym. He is the fifth in the 1967-08 series of Visit ing Scientists, and spoke on “Darwin and Evolution.” In true scientific form Dr. Novak voiced arguments for and against the famous but not in fallible theory, and in doing so he wryly poked gentle fun at his fellow scientists and ma thematicians. Defining evolution as slow change which is enduring, not temporal, the scientist pointed out that Darwin’s theory of evo lution is still not a doctrine, much less a fact. To begin with,_ the theor\ is not an ‘•elegant or beautiful” theorv, he argued,because ‘-the relationship of cause and effect is ephemeral. There is no im mediacy, it is not close to us.” Dr. Novak referred to human beings as "organisms with oi- dered and orderly minds ... such as mathematicians, who do not like chance.” The '-ran dom variations” part of the theorv presents a problem since organisms I'y change, acquire a variety of traits which make them more or less adaptable. "The probai)ility that we are here now, according to the theory of Natural Selection, by means of the mechanism de scribed in the theory today, is virtually zero,” Novak declar ed. '-What hurts the mathemati cian is that we are here now.” Statins that the environment changes faster than organisms, Dr. Novak figured tliat "if it took 100 changes to make an imperfect organism perfectly adapted to the environment, it would take 100 million years to do it. But in the meantime there would be too many changes in the environment.” "Tlie human being -- with his capability for philosophiz ing, for composing great mu sic, for creating great works of art -- is the most impro- l)al)le event I could inuigine in the light of tliis theory, and the mathematician would have a hard time explaining it. If v.e are tiere from the design of a supreme beina, he was then the m'eatest democrat,” Dr. Novak declared. The scientist will be on cam pus for the next tv.o weeks lecturing to the Basic Science 202 clysses. VISTA A representative fromVIST.A uill be in the conference room of the Student Affairs Office on Friday. He will be avail able to talk with students in terested in VISTA. You are urged to take advantage of this opportunity. 'jam DR. ALFRED NOVAK the ball in from mid-stripe; McKinney took a sideline jump er and the ball ricocheted into teammate Ronnie Mason’s hands and he went up with it. No good. There was a scramble for the ball, then the buzzer, then bedlam. . .St. Andrews had won their first Dixie Conference Basketball title. Lynchburg had won the title in 19G5, 19GG, and 19G7 and were Imping for an unprece dented 4th consecutive crown this year. Fernandez and Hannas col lected 19 ijoints apiece for the winners as Doug McKinney dropped in 22 for the Hornets. Greensboro’s defeat caused nmch tlie same atmosphere of elation and pride on the SA campus. Coach Boyd’s men hit a personal high-water mark for the season as they rolled up 95 points and put four men in double figures. The victory was a come from behind effort that saw the full court press effectively subdue Greensboro’s hot-handed ball players. l ernandez captured scoring iionors with twenty-six points with Hannas only a point behind at 25. Gary Gredlein put in 16 and high-bounding Phil Blundell got 10. Second half I'all hawking, pressuig, and rebounding, as well as the scoring, gave SA the win over top-seeded Greensboro. Tlie aggressive ness of Ken McGinnis, Gu\ Starling and Bluiulell resulted in many turnovers as the fast break tliat Greensboro had em- plo\etl well in the first half was broken. Tension mounted earh in the second half as Blundell and Hannas caught tlieir fourtli fouls. With eleven minutes left on the clock Boyd sent his two big men back into the action. Many fans, as well as the Greensboro team, ex pected that each move one of them made would be their last. Yet, as the final seconds tick ed away, Blundell and Hannas were still crii)plinu their op ponent’s scoring attack that had SA in the hole 53-41 at half- time. Jim Radford, who was later named to the All-Tournament team, scored 22 for the losers. Ranily Hunter, Dean Oldham, and Stan Morgan had 21,lSjl9 respectivel\, Radford, for two games, had the highest per game scoring average -- 2G.0. Hannas landed 75 jioints in the three games he played and led all competitors in the de partment. McKinne\ of Lynch burg, also named to tlie Tour nament team, tallied C5 for 3 games while Jim Darden of Methodist shot in 07 points and completed the five man Ti;ur- ney team. Other big guns for SA were Fernandez ^51 points^ and Gar\ Gredlein '45 points;.
