Players’
Comedy
Begins
Tonight
The second production of
the Highland Players 1976
season, How The Other Half
Loves, opens tonight and runs
through Sunday in the Liberal
Arts Auditorium. Directed by
Senior Helen Halsey, the two-
act comedy by Alan Ayck
bourn features a whacky
story line and should be one of
the Player’s most hilarious
shows in years.
The play summary in
dicates a plot as involved as
only on “Mary Hartman,
Mary Hartman; it opens on
the morning after the wedding
anniversary of Frank (Johnny
McNair) and Fiona (Joy
McLennan). Fiona didn’t get
home until3 a.m. because she
was with her lover Bob (Joe
Mang).
Frank questions Fiona who
calls her lover. He has told his
wife Teresa (Meg Armistead)
that he was with his friend
William (Chris Carter) who he
says is on the verge of ending
his marriage to Mary (Lynn
May). Fiona tells her husband
that she was with Mary. The
truth about the fabricated
story is not told until aU three
couples finally come together.
Holiday

As the Thanksgiving
Holidays approach, it is essen
tial that eadi of us be remin
ded of the Attendance
Regulation before and after a
recess.
The Attendance Regulations
as approved by the Faculty is
as follows:
“To preserve the integrity
of the calendar and the
academic program, students
are required to attend the last
dass meeting of each course
during the two day period
before each recess and the fir
st class meeting of each cour
se during the two day period
following each recess. A
record of attendance in aU
such classes will be reported

course will result, in with
drawing the student from the

SA Junior Wins
Miss Laurinburg Pageant
By Wynne Segal, Staff Writer
Last Saturday night in the
Scotland High School
auditorium, Diane Domin-
covich was crowned Miss
Laurinburg. Diane, a St. An
drews student, is a junior
majoring in music. She char
med the judges with her
talents by singing “Far From
The Hrane I Love” from Fid
dler Ml the Roof. She also
shared the title of “Miss
Congeniality” with one of the
other contestants. The girls
were seen in swimsuit,
evening gown and talent com
petitions.
Diane felt that she did have
a slight advantage over some
of the contestants, especially
the high school girls, in that
she had some experience in
performing before large
audiences and so she was not
as nervous. She did not mind
all the pageantry, saying it
was siniiliar to being in a
play. Since Diane plans to
pursue a career in performing
arts, she feels the contest was
an advantage to her, as any
experience in working with an
audience or compeition is.
“Nothing like this has ever
happened to me before,”
Diane said. She has been
overwhelmed by all the at
tention and has enjoyed it, but
feels she is still not any dif
ferent. She has come out of
the daze of the glamour and
winning. She hopes to
represent Laurinburg in a
manner that it will not be
disappointed. She was sur
prised to learn that someone
from out of state could enter,
since she is from Washington,
D.C. In regards to the com
munity’s view of St. Andrews,
she feels a few people might
not except her, but hopefully
this sort of interaction with
the city may help dispel some
of the stereotypes of St. An
drews.
The pageant sponsors plan
to have Diane represent
Laurinburg in as many other
contests as possible. She will
make severi appearances in
the area, and be a visiting
queen at other contests. As
Miss Laurinburg, Diane wcm
a cashprize of ^00, $300 to
spend at Belks, and a $500

Meek. Battles
Winston-Salem
By Ed Neely, War Correspondent
St. Andrews was the sight of
a dorm war last Thursday
night replete with water
balloons, fire extinguishers,
fireworks, and various battle
strategies. Though it began as
a contest between Winston
Salem and Mecklenburg Dor
ms, it eventually moved
across campus, through
Albemarle, into Granville and
ended outside Wilmington.
Around 12:30 a.m., when a
cease-fire had been more or
less achieved, 250 water
balloons had been thrown, a
dozen fire extinguishers emp
tied, and 1,500 firecrackers
and bottlerockets exploded.
Other weapons included gar
den hoses and buckets of hot
and cold water.
It all began on the night of
Wednesday, November 10. A
chant was started in Suite 7 of
Winston Salem, conducted by
Tom “Genghis’” Green.
Many ears were listening
across the courtyard. Charlie
Odell related his story:
“I had just come back from
an Eric Clapton concert in
Atlanta. While in the process
of finishing off my last fifth of
scotch I heard this wild
ruckus coming from Winston
Salem. When I stuck my head
out the window to listen, I
recognized the noise as being
a rather derogatory chant, in
sisting that Mecklenburg go
to an uncomfortable place
prematurely. I responded
with a few choice remarks of
my own.”
Winston Salem responded to
this by sending a diplomatic
mission to attempt a quick
settlement. Getting no respon- [
se other than a guerilla water |
balloon attack, tiie matter f
was dropped for the night.
Thursday was a dily of '
causewalk threats and }
cafeteria challenges. Rumors |
of rooftop catapults and t
molotov cocktail chunckers
were everywhere. Donations I
for balloons and fireworks f
were collected, and a few paid |
twenty-five dollars for the /
privilege of a private fire ex- \
tinguisher.
Warriors of both sides
seemed prepared for the
coming battle. “We plan on
getting their doors a little
wet,’’ said Genghis Greai. “If
they won’t come out to fight,
then we’ll take the fight to
them.” Mecklenburg was also
busy making battle plans.
“As I see it,” said Field
Marshall Mark Six, ‘ ‘we have
three main goals in this war:
(1) to hold Mecklenburg
against the penetration of
barbarians, i.e., Winston
Salem, (2) to penetrate Win
ston Salem and leave a legacy
for all time, and (3) to
vanquish Winston Salem’s
forces with superior intellect
in battle.”

Cairn Shor, On Due In Spring
Contributions
The student literary annual,
the Cairn, is still accepting
prose, poetry, graphics, and
I*otos for the edition which
wilL be published next spring.
Up to this point, student
response to requests for con
tributions has been rather
poor and the editors of the
Cairn wish to remind the
student body that in order to
put together a really good
edition of the Cairn, material
must be submitted before the
Christmas holidays. Any
questions you may have con
cerning the Cairn may be
directed to Ellen Tosh or Hun
ter Patterson.
ConfusiMi as to when the
1976 edition of the Lamp and
Shield will be released should
end very early during spring
semester. The publication due
to come out spring semester
of 1976 was delayed due to a
bookkeeping error. It was not
known until this faU that 47
pages of the yearbook had
been ommited. With the com
pletion of those final pages,
1976 Lamp and Shield Editor
Susan Mann says that studen
ts can expect the edition to be
released in the spring. Work
on this year’s Lamp and
Shield is being produced by
Editor Sally Beaty and a staff
of twelve students.
