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.

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
