Scotland's
The sweet sounds of Edinburgh's
Silly Wizard swept through a sub
stantial crowd at the Paul Green
Theatre Monday night on its way to
charming the Chapel Hill audience
and displaying a mastery of instru
ments and Scottish and Irish folk
music.
Silly Wizard's sound is colored by
a variety of instruments, including
mandolin, banjo, penny whistle,
guitar, bass and synthesizer. The
result of the interplay between these
diverse instruments is a rich, warm
sound. The band kicked off its show
with "The Queen of Argyll," a song
that quickly took hold of the audience
and held its attention captive.
Decorate

t's often said that during spring
time, a young man's fancy turns
XLto love. To show your sweet
heart how much you care this
Easter, try giving decorated Easter
eggs!
According to "An Egg at Easter"
by Vehetia Newall, people gave eggs
at Easter many centuries ago as tok
ens of love. In Hungary, for exam
ple, a girl was required to decorate
20 or 30 eggs for the boy of her
dreams. The boy would gather all
the eggs from his admirers and put
them away for several weeks. Later
the girl whose egg kept the most
color became his new love.
In other countries girls were luck
ier they, too, received eggs at
Easter. These gifts were treasured
for years and were often displayed in
windows as a permanent decoration.
The display of affection through
eggs was more subtle in other coun
tries. Slips of paper with love mes
sages and verses of adoration were
put inside the hollow shell and pres
ented to girls and boys alike.
Varying from region to region,
the number of eggs given signified
different things. Although eggs in
any number usually meant fondness,
in some places, two eggs meant
rejection and humiliation. Three
eggs given to a boy singled him out
as a top suitor, while his losing com
petition retreated with only one egg.
As many as six eggs indicated that
marriage for the couple would soon
take place.
Although eggs were first consid
ered a sign of love and congratula
tion, decorated eggs were adopted
and altered by Christians. Newall
notes that Christians used eggs as
symbols of the Lord's Resurrection "
to express their "wish for increased
spiritual power, to conquer their

Concert
The next highlight of the group's
first set was "A Lover's Heart," a
slow-moving ballad that ended up in
a sort of "student sing-along" as the
crowd helped out the band on the
chorus. Later came "The Land of the
Leal," which prompted fiddler
Johnny Cunningham to liken the
song to "a flame-broiled whopper."
Once the band finished joking
around, the members picked up their
instruments and filled the room with
an egg for

passions and thereby imitate the life
of Christ." It is also reported that
when Mary Magdalene took eggs to
Jesus' tomb, they suddenly changed
to brightly colored eggs. Following
Christian traditions and ideals,
coloring eggs is usually done on
Maundy Thursday.
Throughout history different
colors of dye painted on the eggs
have developed various associations
with feelings. Black is known for
mourning, red for luck and green

the beauty of the 18th-century ballad.
After the song, lead vocalist Andy
Stewart labeled Cunningham as "the
Jimmy Swaggart of folk music."
Silly Wizard opened up its second
set with three "really smashing tunes"
that included "The Parish of Dun
keld," a song about a church con
gregation which hanged its priest for
forbidding the members to sing,
dance or drink. After this tune
Stewart noted, "Scotland is not for
the squeamish."
Next came "Ramblin' Rover," a
catchy a cappella song that had the
students singing once more. Unfor
tunately, the self-appointed chorus
almost drowned out the band.

Complex patterns of various sym

flower and vegetable dyes or mix
tures from ground metallic rock.
Ribbon, lace, embroidery and jewels
encircled the pointed tips of the eggs
creating what was known as an
"endless line." Images painted on the
eggs may have told a story, included
a hidden meaning, or shown the
passage of time. The more religious
motifs included the crown of thorns,

Soon Johnny Cunningham and
accordion player Phil Cunningham
played a duet an instrumental
medley that included an abrupt
version of a measure from a Beatles
classic. Once the joke was over, Phil
tricked Johnny into playing a blis

keys of his accordion rather than
making it sound.
Johnny took up the challenge by
responding with an impressive solo

a chalice and the Paschal lamb. A
special egg which no one could
touch was marked with an ornate
cross and was placed on top of the
basket's pile of eggs.
Women and young girls had the
job of decorating the eggs. With the
English pace egg, mothers handed
down family traditions and individ
ual crests to their daughters.
According to the book "Medieval
Holidays and Festivals," by Made
line Cosman, pace eggs were preva
lent at Easter banquets as large table
centerpieces. Like Easter eggs of
today, pace eggs were hard-boiled
and dyed with brightly colored
paints. The word "pace" originates
from the Hebrew word "Pasch"
meaning Passover and Easter.
Pace eggs were gifts for guests
and performers who acted out short
plays. The practice of egg-rolling
also developed at this time. Teams
rolled the eggs on a smooth carpet,
both quickly and slowly, in straight
lines and around obstacles; the
object was not to crack the egg.

A young team exceeding its
expectations.
We are speaking not of the North
Carolina basketball squad, but
rather, the white-hot baseball Tar
Heels, who had won 11 games in a
row before succumbing 7-6 Tuesday
at Wake Forest.
An 11 -game streak of any sort
merits examination, and Tar Heel
coach Mike Roberts provided several
explanations Tuesday morning for
his team's recent run.
"There are two factors I think that
go into a streak like this," Roberts
said. "The first is aggressiveness and
confidence. Everywhere pitching,
batting and defensively we are
more aggressive. The next ingredient
is getting great play out of role
players. People like Ryan Howison,
Darren Villiani and Brad Woodall
have done an excellent job for us."
For those who have not seen the
Heels play this year, here is a brief
rundown on the players that will save
the reader the price of the free
mimeographed rosters handed out in
Boshamer Stadium.
Catching is sophomore Jesse Levis,
who has been durable, crouching for
all 24 of Carolina's games. Levis has
also recently started hitting better,
according to Roberts, garnering
several key hits against N.C. State in
last Sunday's 7?5 victory.
Playing first base is senior Chris
Lauria, one of only three seniors on
the club. Lauria is leading the regulars
with a .346 batting average, and is

Second base belongs to sophomore
Dave Arendas, who can also pitch
if necessary. Ron Maurer takes short,
with Darin Campbell, an All
American candidate, playing third
this year after two seasons at
shortstop.
While Campbell has struggled in
the field, his bat has never been
erratic. The junior from Latham,

Campbell's awesome bat makes him
