The Union University Players will present “Magic,” an early 20th century comedy written by G.K. Chesterton, Thursday through Tuesday at the campus in Jackson.

Theater professor David Burke will direct the pro-duction. Nick Fleming will play the main character, the conjuror-magician.

The play opens Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the W. D. Powell Theatre in the Penick Academic Complex. Performances will continue until Tuesday. There will be additional showings Friday at 11:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $3 for Union students and $7 for the gen-

eral public.“Chesterton was a jour-

nalist and lay theologian, and his friend, George Bernard Shaw, was pres-suring him to write a play,” Fleming said. “That’s when Chesterton wrote ‘Magic.’”

The play tells the story of a duchess whose niece and nephew come to live with her. The nephew is an American atheist and the niece a spiritual fairy-speaker, Fleming said.

Other characters are an agnostic, an evolutionist and a preacher. The duch-ess brings in a magician who, according to Fleming, “turns the tables on them and causes them to question everything.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scores on the SAT college entrance exam were largely stagnant for a third year, although African-American students made slight gains, the College Board said Thursday.

Average scores in read-ing, math and writing were the same in 2012 and 2013.

Students scored an aver-age of 496 in reading, down one point from 2011. Average math scores have remained stuck at 514 over the last three years. And the average writing score, 488, was down one point from 2011.

The top score possible on each section is 800, and the highest possible score is 2400. A perfect score was achieved in 2013 by 494 people — less than a third of 1 percent of all test takers, according to the College Board, a nonprofit membership organization of schools and colleges that owns the exam.

Men, on average, scored better in reading and math, while women, on average, did better in writing.

African-American stu-dents, on average, scored 431 in reading, 429 in math and 418 in writing. That’s slightly higher than in the previous two years.

The average for all Hispanic students was 450

in reading, 461 in math, and 443 in in writing. On average, they did slightly better in reading and writ-ing this year than last, but math scores declined by one point.

For American Indian and Alaskan natives, scores have mostly decreased slightly since 2011. The average score in 2013 was 480 in reading, 486 in math and 461 in writing.

Asian students on aver-age scored 521 in reading, 597 in math and 527 in writing. The scores in 2013 for this minority group were slightly better in read-ing and math than the two years before, although in writing the score was one point less than the previous two years.

Meanwhile, the College Board also said it is increas-ing outreach to about 300,000 college-ready students with the goal of expanding their access to available opportunities. In one such program, about 27,000 high-achieving, low-income students are targeted to receive infor-mation to help them more effectively explore college options.
