Down East. About a month ago, your
host borrowed an Idea from William and
Mary Morris's Dictionary of Word and
Phrase Origins when speculating that Down
East might have originated in the fact that
people traveling from an important place
Boston, for example-to a less important
one-some place in Maine, for example
would say they were going Down East.
That guess, has been challenged by two
readers. R.C. Tibbetts of Media, Pa.,and
Byard P. Bridge of Philadelphia say the
term is traceable to the prevailing winds
along the New England coast, which, they
assert, are southwesterly so seafarers sailing
to Maine went downwind and spoke of
going Down East or Down Maine.
Bill Morris, a native of New England,,
took account of that theory in his diction
ary, but added that "a mariner friend
assures me that there are no 'prevailing'
winds on the coast."
Word oddities. Leatrice W. Abraham of
Ardmore, Pa., asks about the literal and
figurative meanings of watershed.
Literally, the word denotes a ridge or
piece of high land that divides two areas
that are drained by different river systems.
Figuratively, it means a critical dividing
point or turning point between two courses
of action or two phases of a situation.
The Mind-Bogglin, Never-To-Be-Forgotten-Or-Believed
Escape to Movie
Orgy" is coming to UNL.
This three-hour film, touring college
campuses, will be shown today at 7:30p.m.
in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room.
It is sponsored by the Joseph Schlitz
Brewing Co., and is being presented by the
Correction
Monday's Arts calendar, Up and
Coming, contained an error concerning The
Lincoln Community Playhouse. Godspell
will not play this Friday and Saturday
as stated. The next production will open

Union Program Council.
The movie orgy is in its fifth year,
having played on 235 college campuses to
more than 250,000 students. It retains its
popularity and appeal because of annual
facelifting which adds new elements, but
keeps old favorites. '
Childhood TV characters, movie
classics, cartoons, crazy commercials and
bombshell bloopers are included in the
movie orgy. It is bonanza for trivia freaks,
nostalgia buffs and lovers of a good time.
Loaded with clips that pop on and off the
screen with comic madness, the movie
orgy could aptly be called "A 2001 Splice
Odyssey."
