Annual Aquaquette
To Feature 'Dreams' Theme
Bright lights, costumes, and
bathing beauties are all featured
in the annual Aquaquette pag
eant to be presented Saturday
right, April 1, at the Coliseum
pool. Special numbers are high
lighted by unusual lighting and
costumes. Based on the general
theme "Dreams" the s'iow will
incorporate the music of "Jeal
ousy," "Cool Water," "Winter
Wonderland." A group number,
a duet, a trio and a small group
number will be performed by the
women's swim club; a diving ex
hibition and a group number will
be performed by the men's swim
club.
In past years special features
of the show have been under
water lighted numbers, a presen
tation featuring black light and
luminous paint, and numbers in
cluding floats and sailboards. One
particular piece was centered
around a caldron containing
lighted fireworks.
Choregraphy
Choregraphy of a watm pag
eant is related to dance layouts,
but presents many limitations. A
pool is a smaller area, allowance
must be made for underwater
swimmers to breath, difficult and
wearing strokes must be alter
nated with more restful methods.
By u?e of effective lighting, both
spot and overall, atmosphere is
created. With costuming and set
ting, naturally very simple, con
tinuation of the theme is created.
The basis of a water pageant
Is formation swimming in time to
drum beats or music. Following
closely the general ideas pre
8ented in the number, swimmers
form patterns above or below the
water, and present formations
while swimming through the wa
ter. Swimphonles
Water swimphonies are not re
stricted to women alone. Chi
cago's Towne club pool with its
glass sides presents men in both
ballet and exhibition swimming.
Groups of college students in
Wisconsin and Michigan as well
as high schools throughout the
nation combine talented swim
ming with music and rhythm to
form a new mode of expression.
Formed especially to provide
swimmers with an outlet for
swimming talents, the Aqua
quettes have held tryouts each
year to find expert swimmers
who are interested in combining
their skill for the advancement
of the group. Each year the wo
men members plan and execute
the necessary costuming, lighting,
and Dattern layouts for the show.
In past years members of high
school swim clubs have helped
with ushering and have been
guests of the University club. By
showing the public what can be
done with swimming in good
form, the Aquaquettes hope to
interest more students in learn
ing to swim well.
'Tippler' Types
Found Among
(Sh!) Huskers
By Alger Bibble & Joe Zilch
(Due to th unforwpn Incllment weather
during these first dwys ot SprinK, The
Dally Nebrankan In reprlntlhK thu note
to remind you students that lair weather
and picnic season Is not far off.)
"Call us at three today."
To a great majority of the
students on the campus, this
would mean nothing whatsoever,
but to a certain element, this is
an invitation.
"Shuffleboard? I'll go."
Same thing. Another invitation.
Undergraduates drinking is a
problem of almost every campus
over the country today. In spite
of the opinion of the Office of
Student Affairs, it does go on.
And it will go on. There just
isn't much that we can do about
it. But for the benefit of the green
little freshman on the campus,
we will identify some of the
more obvious types seen in some
ot the local bistrols.
Number one is the "Gee fellas,
I'd like to but I don't know if
I should because my folks don't
know I drink," or freshman type.
He is ultimately convinced that
it will do him more good to sop
up a batch than it will for him
to go to that horrible orientation
class, '
Number two is the "sure I'll
go if I can borrow some identi
fication" type. He manages to get
a draft card from some old senior
who is 21, but doesn't go in for
minor sports. Usually sophomores
fit into this group.
Number three is the junior
class, of the "I don't give a damn,
I'm going to quit school anyhow,"
type. He even cuts classes in
order to be with the fellows,
usually manages to get his assign
ments done and tests taken, but
his average isn't too high.
Number four is the senior or
"This is my last year before I
go out in the cold cruel world"
type. He is out for a last good
fling before he goes to work
Realizing that this is his last
chance for a good fling, he makes
up for lost three years by losing
another.
And so we have them, kiddies,
look them over well. And re
member that some of your best
friends probably fit into one of
these categories.
(Ed. Note): We're only kiddin'
honest. This doesn't really go on
at NU.

Cosmo Carnival Show
Rehearsals
By Jerry Bailey.
What appeared at first glance
to be a near-riot occurred in the
Temple building basement last
Friday evening. A second glance
showed it o be the Cosmopolitan
Club rehearsing for the coming
Cosmo Carnival to be held
April 1.
To all appearances, the only
claim individuals present were
club president, Jack Levi, and
carnival director, Gaylord Marr.
The r?i, cast members and spec
ta'.Cij spent most of their time
'-i'-.jjhing.
Rehearsal started in a quiet
manner, disturbed only by calls
for missing actors and shouts of
"Where's the rest of my cos
tume?" Bob Faard tuned up his
dulcimer; Director Marr snuggled
into his turtle-neck sweater and
puffed his pipe. Some interest
was aroused by Lois McGlashan,
in the local version of what a
Survey Finds
Students Agin
Campus Beer
The majority of students in a
survey taken at the University of
New Mexico by the official
newspaper, the Lobo, do not
favor a tap room or rathskeller
in the Student Union building.
The Lobo gave a list from the
following colleges who serve
beer and report favorable results:
Cornell "Beer is served on
campus after 8 p.m. and the
privilege is rarely abused."
Wisconsin "Students accept
the service as part of campus life.
Drinking parties are reduced at
nearby taverns."
Columbia "Individual self
control is opened upon and there
are no regulations set up."
Union College at Schnectady
"Experience has been gratifying
because it has brought students
back to the campus."
The Lobo said those univers
ities which haVe considered the
Question and have held back
further action because:
(1) Available nearby beer
parlors make action unnecessary.
(2) influence of public opinion
against it.
(3) opposition of college ad
ministrators. (4) a law prohibits sale on
campus.
The Lobo asks whether "such
a refreshment solve college ills
or would the clean-cut American
college youth find himself being
considered the "hero" in another
'Lost Weekend?".

At Kansas State
Nebraska men can be thankful
for not having to put up with
a man-woman ratio such as that
at Kansas State College. There,
only 746 of the 6,435 students
are women.
Eight of the women are in the
engineering and architecture
school where five are studying
architecture, two architectural
engineering, and one special sub
jects. Nine girls are enrolled in
the School of Agriculture, four
are studying straight agriculture,
three are in landscape design,
and two are taking milling chem
istry. Two women are also in
veterinarian school.
The enrollment at the school
dropped from 7,020 to 6,435 dur
ing the current school year,
chiefly because of mid-year I
graduations. '

Observance
Of Easter
Traditional
Spring vacation for Nebraska
students will begin Friday, April
7 at 8 a.m. and end Wednesday,
April 12 at 8 a.m. when classes
commence. The history of the
observance of Kaster has heen
wide and varied.
Easter fs the annual festival
observed throughout Christendon
in commemoration of the resur
rection of Jesus Christ. The name
"Easter," like the names of the
days of the week, is survival of
old Teutonic mythology. Accord
ing to Bode, it is derived from
"Eostre," or "Ostara," the anglo
Saxon goddess of spring. The
month corresponding to our
April, called "Eostur-month,"
was dedicated to this goddess.
No Early Easter
There is no indication of the
observance of the Easter festival
in the New Testament or in
writings of the apostolic fathers.
The sanctity of special times was
an idea absent from the minds of
the first Christians, who con
tinued to observe the Jewish
festivals, through in the new
spirit as commemorations of
events which those festivals has
foreshadowed. Thus the Passover,
with new conception of Christ
added to it as the true Paschal
lamb and the first fruits from the
dead, continued to be observed,
ind became the Christian Easter.
Although the observance of
Easter was the practice of the
Christian church at a very early
period, for a long time there have
been serious differences as to the
day for its observance. The date
is fived in accordance to tables
prepared by Claius for Pope
Gregory XIII, when he reformed
calendar on Feb. 24, 1582. and is
an attempt to reconcile the solar
with the lunar year. These tables
have occassionally produced
strange results. In 1923. the full
moon of the heavens fell on the
Sunday given by the tables for
the celebration of Easter, and the
Resurrection, going by the real
moon, was being celebrated be
fore the crucifixion.
Special Date Fixed
Many proposals have been
made for the fixing of Easter. As
a result of the League of Nations
committee of 1023. the Easter Act
was passed in England in August.
1928, fixing Easter day, condit
ionally upon international accep
tance, as the first Sunday after
the second Saturday in April.
Four periods are connected
with the observance of Easter. (1)
the preparatory fast of 40 days of
Lent, (2) the 15 days, beginning
with the Sunday before and end
ing with th Sunday after Easter,
during which the ceremonies of
Holy Week and services of Octave
of Easter were observed. (3) the
Octave of Easter, during which
the newly baptised wore their
white garments, which they laid
aside on the Sunday alter aster,
and (4) Eastertide proper, or the
pschal season beginning at Easter
and lasting till Whit Sunday.
The liturgical color for Easter
is everywhere White, as a sign
of joy, light and puity. Churches
and alters are adorned with the
best oraments possessed in this
world-wide observance of Easter.
