The University of North Carolina at Ashe ville will move on to the Bicentennial scene Saturday, April I"? cora- morating the Battle of Lexinqton with a militia muster, black powder shoot and col onial dinner. Plans for the event were announced by Dr.' Milton L. Ready, assis tant professor of his tory at UNC-A, and J. Luther Jones III of Arden, co-directors for the event i.. "On the 13th of April in '75, the British marched out of Boston on order to seize and destroy military stores belonqing to the colo nies,* Dr. Ready said. "On the X9th, they were met on the Common at Lexington by the first armed militia to oppose a force of British reoulars." Dr. Ready, a spec ialist in the CGloihial period of U.S. history, noted that this small conflict set in motion a series of events which, in time, changed not only the history of North T^erica but of the entire world. "This brief encoun ter was the spark that fanned into the flame of the American Rev olution and ended with the establishment of the independent United States of America," Jones, a Revolutionary War buff, said. Invitations already have gone out to mili tia units and Regiments of the Fodt, specialists in reviving the shoot* ing skills that the Minute Men of 200 years ago possessed. UNC-Ashe- ville will provide a bivouac area to such units who plan to arrive^ and take part in the muster or black powder shoot, or both. A fife and drum par ade to the UNC-A flag pole will initiate the activity with a Revolutionary flag beina run up in place of the usual Stars and Stripes and North Carolina flaq, accord ing to Dr. Ready. From there, parti cipants will march to the soccer field to take part in the black pow der shoot with six events listed. These include the 50-yard sitting or prone flint rifle, 50- yard sitting or prone percussion rifle, 25- yard distances for the offhand flint rifle, offhand percussion rifle and offhand smoothbore flint musket and a five- man smoothbore flint musket team event (four men-at-arms and one officer). All participants will wear the traditional garb of the Revolutionary era. That night in Lipin- sky Student Center, the participants and members of the community will take part in the colo nial dinner, called a "Groaning Board." The proposed menu includes a boar's head centerpiece, meats ranging from roast pig, to haunch of venison, poppyseed loaces, John ny cakes, mince pies, cranberry sauce, Mora vian cakes, roast pota toes, peanut or pump kin soup, minutemen cookies and a variety of beverages.ranging from Boston Harbor tea to East Indian coffee. Serving will be done by costumed and periwigged attendants, probably UNC-A students. Participation in UNC- A's Bicentennial Cele bration is open to the public. Dr. Ready invi ted all persons with an interest in the Revolutionary War era to contact him in UNC- A's history department or vTones in Arden. DR. KRAMER SACRAO PRESIDENT Dr. George T.
