'AUl!- • TT 4-

STAFF WRITER
Have you heard
the sound of bagpipes trav
eling across the lake on
Thursday nights and felt
like you should be in the
Highlands of Scotland? Or
perhaps you have seen pip
ers playing at such parties
as Orange's Harvest Moon
or the Rugby Party.
The St. Andrews
Pipe Band has been prac
ticing very hard for the
various performances and
competitions they have
had since the start of school
this year. Not surprisingly,
their dedication has cer
tainly paid off.
Only two weeks
into the fall semester, the
band travelled to Charles
ton, S.C. for the Charles
ton Scottish Games under
the direction of Bill
Caudill, coordinatorof the
Scottish Heritage Center.
At the games The
band won first place in the
Grade V pipe band com
petition and took second
place after challenging
Grade IV. Sophomore
Marc Dubois acted as stu
dent pipe majoron the field
for both events.
On Octobcr 2, at
the Flora MacDonald
Games in Red Springs,

cooked and ale a raulesnake

Chase.
"The Wall Street
Journal" featured Squire in
its front page June 23, after a
reporter flew up from Dallas
to interview him at his Aber
deen home. More than 30
radio programs have inter
viewed him. A couple of
other television appearances
are sheduled and he has been
the subject of numerous ar
ticles.
His grandfather
taught him respect and a ba
sic "waste not, want not" at
titude that includes eating
animals found dead on the
roadside rather than killing
another animal unnecessar
ily. Because his book in
cludes recipes dishes like sau
teed crow and "Old Tough
Rabbit Baked In Milk,"
Squire has been dubbed "the
roadkill gourmet" and some
interviewers have tended to
overemphasize the roadkill
cooking angle as a hook to
N.C., the band came in
second in Grade V and
placed third in an open
band competition.
At both the
Charleston and Red
Springs games, the college
band, established in 1991,
competed against pipe
bands from all over the
southeastern region of the
United States.
Aside from the
busy schedule of practic
ing for and going to the
competitions, the band has
also performed at several
churches in the local area.
Towns where they have
performed include:
Goldsboro, Biscoe and
Red Springs. Last week
end they performed dur
ing a dinner party at the
"Mill Prong House" for
supporters of the school s
Scottish Heritage Center.
"Due to the fam
ily atmoshere in our band
created by Bill Caudill, we
have demonstrated our
ability to be a top-notch
competition band, The
friendly atmoshere has at
tributed to the success of
the band and will help to
further Scottish Heritage
within the St. Andrews
community." stated
DuBois.

performance team are

get readers interested. The
carcasses that he is talking
about are the ones that are
found on the side of the road
and not the ones that have
been squished.
Squire says that he
is into the environmental
thing more than the roadkill
thing.
"When my grand
father gathered herbs, he
would past seven and gather
the eighth. He believed you
leave the plant for the seven
other generations."
He began writing
about living off the land dur
ing SERE (survival, evasion,
resistance, escape) training
as a Green Beret after he no
ticed several glaring errors in
his field survival manuol. He
pointed them out to his supe
rior, who said, "If you can do
better, rewrite it." He did
exactly that, and the Army
later accepted his changes.
He currently has
four new books out, some of
them include: "TheCounUy
Doctor's Herb Garden", and
"A Vegetarian Foyager's
Manual."

freshman Christina

class Highland Dancers
who travel with the band

Wisehart and Montgom
ery are also certified

Montgomery is currently
an instructor for the

Advice to fellow
pipers: do not play at a
competition, a dinner per
formance and a rugby party
all in one day, or the next
morning your pipe major
will tell you that you look
like you slept in your kilt,
and you will probably have
to admit that you did!
