Broadway Director Stages Greek F estiva1's 'Royal Perhaps the greatest story of conquest in his- tory, that of the Peruvian Inca empire, was de- picted in the School of Performing Arts' San Diego Greek Theatre Festival during the summer quar- ter with the stage production of Peter ShafTer's The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Under the direction of Broadway director Randall Brooks, and utilizing the extraordi- narily spectacular Inca costumes from the original Broadway production, The Royal Hunt is easily the best offering the Greek Festival has produced. K'Royal Hunt' portrays a company of 167 men under the leadership of an illegitimate mer- cenary, Francisco Pizzaro, conquering an empire of 24 million and destroying one of the most amazing civilizations of all time. The principal antagonists in this struggle were Pizarro, an old man over 60 years of age, and Atahualpa, the Inca god-king, who represented the pinnacle of pre-Colombian civilization. Super- stition and technology, of course, played an im- portant role in the destruction of the South Amer- ican empire, but more importantly it was a conflict which pitted the dynamism of European culture at the dawn of modern history against the spiritu- alistic and complacent confidence of a people who felt no need for the violence and covetousness of 16th century Europe.

NFL Saints Train Here The New Orleans Saints, newest expansion franchise in the National Football League, held their summer pre-season training camp at Cal Western during the summer. Approximately 100 ballplayers, administrators and coaches spent several weeks housed in Hall I. They dined in the cafeteria and their fruit- laden training tables in a special section of the dining hall were a source of intrigue to the summer students, even when the mammoth pro- fessional footballers were not there. The two-a-day workouts on the playing field supplemented by various conditioning sessions in the gym and chalk talk meetings in Salomon Little Theatre kept the athletes busy. Early apprehension by head coach Tom Fears that it might be too cool on the Pacific coast were dispelled when San Diegols summer sun arrived shortly after the Saints. .sv flnl
