Roman Catholics and P
tants will observe Easter
Sunday, but about 206 it
members of the Eastern C
dox faith must wait until It
for their .Easter.
The difference of over a 1J
results because the Eastern
odox Church still follows t
Julian calendar, devised b,
ius Caesar in 46 B.C. The
Catholics and Protestants,
ever, follow the calendar
vised by Pape Gregory
the 16th century.

Plans - for the fraternity rushing
handbook were also explained.
Henry Friedman, editor, said that
the new hindbook will give the
scholastic ranks 'of the individual
houses. Plans also include a pic-,
ture of each fraternity pin to be
put beside the picture of each
house. Friedman said that no list,
of house bills will be put in this
issue since there is usually a great
variation that can not be shown
when making a house bill.

s Divided
of Easter
brated by Christians, is always
the first Sunday after the first
full moon or the Paschal full
moon, on or after March 21, as
decreed at the Council of Nicea
in 325 A.D.
This sometimes means that the
date of the Passover, which is
also the date of the Last Supper,
comes later than Easter. This year
the Feast of the Passover begins
on April 23, almost a full month
after the Gregorian Easter.
The Eastern Orthodox tradi
tion insists that the sequence of
events be the same as the Biblical
accounts of the Resurrection, so
their Easter is always observed
on a later date.

Gregorian Easter s preceed
Julian Easters by a week, 74
times in the present century
and by five weeks, 21 times.
Because the date of Easter is
not fixed, like that of Christmas
or the Fourth of July, it can vary
in the Gregorian calendar from
March 22 to April 25.
The most frequent date for
Easter is April 19, which comes
once in 26 years on the average.
The rarest date for Easter is
March 22 which occurs about
once every 207 years.
