U.OP 0RE.LI33AaT Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS Tliis is Easter Day. Easter is the springtime Chris tian festival which honors the resurrection, or rising from the dead, of Jesus. Easter is the first Sunday alter the Paschal moon that is. the full moon that occurs on the day of the vernal equinox (March 21 or on any of the next 28 days. Consequently. Easier Sunday can not be earlier than March 22, or later than April 23. Why this date? It was fixed by the First Coun cil of Nice, called in the year 325 by Emperor Constantine and held at Nice, in Asia Minor, to settle the dispute caused by the Asian views of the Trinity. This first Council of Nice fixed the time for observing Easter and adopted the so-called Nicene Creed in the following form: "We believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of all things, both visible and invisible; and in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Only begotten of the Father, that is to say, of the substance of the Father, God of God and Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made, both things in heaven and things on earth; who, for us men and for our salva tion, came down and was made flesh, was made man, suffered, and rose again on the third day, went up in the heavens, and is to come again to judge both the quick and the dead; and in the Holy Ghost." Such is the Nicene creed. An older creed is the Apostles' Creed. It was in use as early as 150, and is supposed to have been set up by the apostles. It is used in all Anglican, Catholic, Episco pal, Lutheran, Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Many other Protestant churches also use it. Whence the name Easter? The name was adopted for the Christian Paschal festival from a heathen festival held at the vernal equinox in honor of the Teutonic goddess of dawn, called by the Venerable Bede EOSTRE. On the introduction of Christianity, it was natural for the name of the heathen festival to be transferred to the Christian, the two falling at about the same time. .. Incidentally .. It was fnrmpt-lv a common he liel that the sun danced on Easier Day. Sir John Suckling, in his Ballad upon a Wedding, used this simi e in describing the bride "But Oh, she dances such a way "No sun upon an Easter Day "Is half so fine a sight. Who was Sir John Suckling? He lived and wrote (and en joyed life along with his cronies who included Ben Jonson and his cronies) away back in the first half of the 1600's. He was a poet, a courtier and a soldier. He was also a famous gambler, in a gen tlemanly way, and an exhibition ist of the first water. Ben Jonson, by the way, was also quite a character. He started out as a bricklayer, put in some time at soldiering, and wound up as the first literary dictator in English literary history. He and his cronies (who came later to be known as the Tribe of Ben) lived it up at the Mer maid Tavern in a manner not too dissimilar from the ways of this modern world of ours the prin cipal difference being that they called their meeting place a tav ern and went to it in horse cabs, whereas we call it a cocktail bar and use taxicabs to. get there. So there you have the story of Easter. And this column is getting too long. Selah!

Ways and Means Committee members replied they were "shocked." The board's letter was issued in response to a request from the legislative committee on where $5 million might be cut from higher education's proposed $81 million budget. The board said if there are ex tensive cutbacks it will increase tuition rates sharply and raise ad mission standards for all stu dents." "We remain convinced," the let tcr said, "that, if a choice must be made, a high quality education for a fewer number would be preferable to a watered-down ed ucation for a greater number." The board said it desires to! keep "the able teachers now on Oregon campuses." It said Oregon has achieved "a high level of educational quality." It is the clear duty of the board to protect this quality," it said. ' It said budget cuts also would bring cutbacks in auxiliary serv ice programs such as agricultural research, the teaching hospital and clinics, the federal cooper ative extension service, and the crippled children's division. Ways and Means co-chairman Ward Cook. D-Portland. said the board sounded like "a spoiled child that just takes up his mar bles and goes home. Diefenbaker Steps Aside OTTAWA (UPD- Prime Minis ter John Diefenbaker, the defeal of his Conservative administration confirmed by Canada's armed service voters, agreed Saturday to step aside in favor of a new Liberal government headed bv Lester B.

Pearson, 65-ycar-old former ex tcrnal affairs minister and Nobel Peace Prize winner, quickly agreed to the meeting at 3 p.m i EST) Monday in the Prime Min ister's parliament hill office. Barring an unexpected snag, it seemed certain Pearson would be come Canada's 14th prime minis ter by mid-week. Tne country's armed service voters endorsed Pearson's pro-nu clear stand by giving the Liberals! 0.5 per cent of their ballots versus only 20.5 per cent for Dicfenbaker's Conservatives. The brief exchange between the two political rivals, who hold little personal affection for each other, took place minutes after the bal lots of some 96.000 servicemen, dependents and hospitalized vet erans, tabulated separately under. the Canadian electoral system, had switched two more scats from the Conservatives to Pear son's Liberal Party. They raised the Liberals to 130 members, three short of an over all majority in the 265-scat House of Commons. The Conservatives were left with 94 scats and the S(cial Credit and New Demo cratic splinter parlies retained 24 and 17 seats respectively. Six Social Credit mcmliers from French-Canadian Quebec, bow-l ever, bolted party ranks Friday and. in a formal document sent to Pearson and Governor-General George Vanier. promised to sup port a Liberal administration in the new 26th parliament.

In tall, austere, white meeting houses on rocky New England hillsides, in squat, rounded, adouc temples on flat Southwestern des erts, under sighing pines of the far North and amid rustling palms of the South, Christians prepared to raise anew their joy ous songs of praise.
