Caudill to Open for Rod Stewart Concert
Heather Lyn Gupton
Editor
St. Andrews (bllcgc’s Di
rector of Sconish Heritage Hill
Caudill is no stranger to play
ing the bag-pipcs in front of
\irgc audiences. Hut one of his
upcoming gigs is a little bit
different. On Nov. 7 (Caudill
will play for the opening pro
cessional of Rod Stewart’s
CJreensboro concert.
Die-hard Stewan fans may
be aware that he is of Scottish
bi rth, and that in order to iden
tify with that heritage, Stewart
has been employing pipe bands
in order to lead a proce.ssional
which he him.self follows at the
beginning of his concerts. This,
according to (Caudill, is not a
new thing, although the mix of
traditional music and pop may
seem like a foreign combina
tion to .some.
“R(xi Stewan in his last two
tours has decided to identify
more with his Scottish heri
tage,” said Oudill.
Oudill was recruited for this
particular by the Grandfather
Mountain Highlanders, a pipe
band he has played with
previously. 'I'hc Cirandfather
Mountain Highlanders have
members from four states, and
are currently the Hastern
United States champions in
grade two of pipe bands. Ac
cording to Caudill, Stewart’s
u.se of a traditional pipe band
“shows the prominence that
this rvpc of music is beginning
to have. It also shows that this
(the bagpipes) is becoming an
accepted instrument.”
Caudill noted thatother ?rt-
ists like Kathy iMatea and
Bonnie Raitt had used bag
pipes on their current albums.
Caudill also said that although
Stewart did not actually em
ploy the bagpipes on his cur
rent album, that their influence
was definitely pre.sent in his
music. “That he identifies with
this sort of music does good
things for us—it helps to cre
ate an awarcne.ss of the tradi-
Bill Catuiill
tional music of Scotland,”
he .said.
Caudill says he is excited
about the upcoming concert,
but that he is not sure what to
expect. Hcdoes know that The
Cirandfather Mountain High
landers will be leading Stewart’s
proce.ssional and then playing
during intermission.
“It is exciting to be doing
.something both contemporary
and traditional at the same
rime. I fs two di fferent worlds,”
he said.

SGA has been very busy these
past few weeks trying to im
prove student life here at St.
Andrews. ITie Senate has passed
a new smoking policy for Belk
Center. In SAGA, there now
exists a designated section for
smoking located in the far cor
ner by the windows. In order
for this policy to work properly
the community as a whole must
be conscious of it and abide by
it. Smoking is also permitted
everywhere in the center except
the main lounge.
Wc arc happy to inform you
of the newly extended hours
for the P.E. Center. The center
is now open on Saturdays from
2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wc hope
these hours will be conducive
for student use.
A new committee has been
formed to deal with issues cen
tered around SAGA. Kim
Brown is the chair of this com
mittee and is very eager to hear
your concerns. Their first full
committee meeting will be on
Monday, Nov. 4. Your partici
pation is encouraged.

children,” said director Shelby
French. Each person should
come to the audition prepared
to sing. Accompaniment will
be provided. For more infor
mation, see Summer Brock
fn the Alumni Office in the

I'he Senate has been work
ing on a survey regarding li
brary hours. We arc concerned
that the library meets the needs
of the student body. The library
is a tool for students therefore it
should be readily available. Your
participation in the survey is
greatly appreciated.
Again, we would like to en
courage your participation in
St. Andrews. If you have any
concerns please address them to
you student leaders. Senate
- meetings are every Monday
evening at 9:30 p.m., and are
open to the community.

Alumni weekend is a time
for seeing old friends and re
calling old memories. This
past weekend was no differ
ent. This Alumni weekend,
however, made us realize how
much ever\'thing has changed
in the la.st three years.
Bill Cox, class of ’91 was one of the many alums who
returned. Over dinner, and later over Beam shots, our conver
sation wandered to the St. Andrews of the past. Bill lived in
Suite 3 Winston w'hile he was here, what used to be known
as “DML.” DML was once the center of St. Andrews .social
life. Any day of the week, any time of the day, there was always
someone up in DML with a bottle of Beam and a line of BS.
Everyone felt welcome, there was no one to impress, and no
shortage of debaucher)'. In today’s Suite 3 Winston, there’s
no longer a monkey on the wall or a bar to huddle around. As
a matter of fact the walls are pink! DML no longer exists.
Granville is trying to hold on to its notorious image despite
more than their fair share of visitors sporting hair spray and
pink frosted lipstick. They’re holding rather vveU under the
circumstances. Granville courtv'ard occa.sionally resembles a
meat market but it is still the placc to be on w'cckcnds.
A lot of other old traditions are dying but many are being
replaced by some great new ones.
The business club threw their best party ever this past
weekend. It was a “back to the Daze of Summer” party'
complete with a swimsuit contest. The male winner w'as
James Y'opp, who w'as ashoe-in after stripping down to a very
tiny pair of bikini underwear. Amy Omer w'as the female
winner. There was a bikini contest last year as well. Are bikini
contests a future tradition of St. Andrews.^ Do we w'ant them
to be?
Meek has many interesting new hobbies. The boys of Suite
2 became amateur furniture movers last weekend. They
moved all of Rick and Rod Hollowell’s into the empty room
next door while the Hollowells were in Virginia. When this
paper is finished, R and R will have been back a w'cek. We
wonder if they’\'e figured out if they’re in the wrong room yet.
Suite 1 threw a party last Saturday night. A lot of socccr
players attended along w'ith Greg Stupinski’s parents who
were visiting from Bayonne, New Jersey. Like most of the
campus, they partied in their own favorite place that night.
Christy Baumgard tried her hand (foot.^) at stilts in Granville
courtyard. We’d«like to suggest that she forget about drop
ping out and joining the circus. The act needs a little work.
Another place big traditions arc starting is Orange, Suite
6. Although there w'a.sn’t a lot happening there this past
weekend (they’re trying to get their maid service back).
Orange Suite 6ers have almost single-handedly kept Harris-
Teeter in business this year. Every time we’ve made it down
there diey’ve been up to something, most of it unprintable.
As for the future, everyone w'as really looking forward to
Halloween. It’s one tradition that remains intact. It’s still the
time of the year w'hen Granville proves to the rest of the school
that they can rage like no other dorm on campus. A lot of old-
timers are coming back just for the occasion, among them,
Wendy Kulba, Sharon Frain, Bill Cox, Paul Easlic, Dobie
Strickland (Look out fish!), Leigh Mills and Carrie Guppy.
Everything must change. Sometimes the change seems
sad. Ihe people and times of the past will always be in our
hearts, though. We love and miss you alums but new memo
ries are being made and someday we’ll be the alums trying
trying to revisit an S.A. that is gone.
P.S. Chris Pare: Dr. Pepper is a drink-not an after=bath
splash. Now we know you’re dangerous.
P.P.S. Congratulations to Shep Armstrong for scoring his
first Rugby try ever.
P.P.P.S. Wesawwhat you did and we know who you
are!
