Students travel through time to relive lost ages

By Katie Vana Staff editor laf the Strong draws his weapon as the South Quad transforms into a medieval battle field. His sword meets with Klaus Hertel’s as two iron clad figures and two historical periods collide on an overcast afternoon in Charleston. Their faces are shadowed by medieval armor and shields Ð mod- eled after war materials from ages past Ð which they constructed in their garages. Olaf, or Matt Strong as his 20th Century friends call him, and his opponent Chris Hertel, a senior his- tory major, are two of the 20 mem- bers of the Society of Creative Anachronism. SCA is a “non-profit educational organization devoted to the study of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance,” the SCA handbook declares. While other students are enthralled by the modern world of music and television, these students and faculty are a part of the “living history” movement, and their hobby is to recreate the culture and materi- als of particular time periods. They take on the persona of a medieval time period and take on an appro- priate name. Combatants make their weapons from rattan, then wrap them in duct tape to look similar to real weapons.
