|IIance VOL. 21 NUMBER 7 ST. ANDREWS PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE Friday, January 28. 1983 S.A. Students Enjoy the Arts in Winston-Salem By AL PERKINSON Exciting opportunities abound in Winston-Salem, N.C. for St. Andrews students this Winter term. Nancy Hogg, Sophie Mott, Leigh McNair, Cleve Zhaner and Jan Golden are spending this January in one of America’s leading art centers. According to “Town and Country” magazine, Winston-Salem ranks fourth among America’s cities in cultural and artistic vitality. One reason for Winston- Salem’s rich artistic tradition is the generosity of two North Carolina families, the Reynolds and the Hanes. These two families have been a major factor in giving Winston-Salem the distinc tion of having more money donated to the arts, per capita, than any other city in the United States. Phillip Hanes was given an honorary degree by St. An drews in 1981 for his nation wide cntributions to the arts. His efforts have been fascilitated through his com pany, Ampersand, which provides fund raising and development services to arts organizations around the na tion. Among the beneficiaries of Ampersand are the Vardell Gallery and The St. Andrews Press. A former employee of Ampersand and a former professor at St. Andrews, Dr. Whitney Jones, is another important member of the Winston-Salem com munity. This January, Nancy Hogg is working as an assis tant to Dr. Jones in his arts consulting firm. Nancy is learning aspects of the business side of art and what is behind^ a successful museum or^allery. The R.J. Reynolds family is another driving force in the Winston-Salem art scene and their contributions are reflected throughout the city and the country. Among their interests is the former winter home of R.J. Reynolds, Reynolda House, which is now an art museum. The curator of Reynolda’s collection of 19th and 20th century American art, is Nick Bragg. Mr. Bragg, in addition to curating the Reynolda art collection, also provide workshops, lecture series, and educational programs which are attended by people from all over the United States. One of the programs which Mr. Bragg offers, is a Winter Term internship op portunity for students from various colleges. This January, Cleve Zahner, Jan Golden, Sophie Mott and Leigh McNair are living at Reynolda and studying music, literature, and art. Their experience will be highlighted by a visit to Washington, D.C., where they will attend a play and soak up the culture of the Capital City. These internships for St. Andrews students interested in the arts are unique learn ing experiences for those in volved. These students will not only gain knowledge of the arts while in Winston- Salem, but will also be in troduced to people of the art community, in one of America’s leading art centers. The Knight basketball team and staff poses at the Bat tery, a New York tourist spot across the water from the Statue of Liberty, during St. Andrews recent tournament appearance Knights Achieve National Ranking There’s no doubt about it. The nationally ranked Knights of St. Andrews re main the team to beat in both the Dixie Intercollegiate Conference and in the East. With a 13-1 record and sixth-place ranking, St. An drews has turned back teams from Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Ten nessee, Massachusetts, and even Division I Georgia State University in Atlanta, Ga. “We are quite pleased with the way this season is pogressing,” said St. An drews Coach Doug Riley. “Our young men are giving us some of their finest play ever.” Although there was some concern at the outset of the season that the loss of Clayton White and Jackie Amos, two top performers in the league, would hinder the Knights’ quest for the na tional championship, such fears were quickly laid to rest. All-America guard Will Petersen has since emerged as one of the premier open court players in the country, averaging beter than 27 points per game. His several plus-30 nights have made him one of the country’s five highest scorers in the NCAA Division III. “I think the statistics speak for themselves,” Riley said. “Will is the kind of player that could walk on any Division I court in the nation and play with the best of them. I think our op ponents will agree that he is devastating.” Against Georgia State, a victory that Riley called “the biggest in St. Andrews history,” Petersen scored 36 points, hitting 14 of 22 shots from the field. His perfor mance won him the praise of Marty Blake, a National Basketball Association scout. “Coach Riley has a fine guard in Will Petersen,” Blake said. “I think Petersen will be getting a lot more at tention, now.” It was against Virginia Wesleyan College that Petersen passed the 2000th mark in career scoring- another achievement for the All-America, All Dixie Con ference and All South Atlan tic performer. But despite Petersen’ awesome offensive displays, it hasn’t been a one-man season. Important and, in deed, critical contributions have been made by Marchell Henry, Chris Whittington and William McCollum. Henry, a 6’5” forward and Riley’s top recruit this season, has stunned the Dixie Conference. The “Rookie of the Year” candidate has averaged 12.3 points and (Cont.
