Bunny Interview
ring Break Remembered
By KATHLEEN BARBEE
It’s time to get back into
the swing of things; Tests,
homework, early rising, plus
the other associated hassles
of college life. The spring
break was long in coming.
When the well deserved spr
ing break finally arrived,
books were put on the
shelves, dirty laundry was
the element of every suitcase,
and a look of estatic expecta
tion appeared on the faces of
each individual.
Now March 4-13, 1983 is
nothing more than history.
Past events we won’t soon
choose to forget. All we hold
now are memories... Yes, the
memories remain...
Felicia Owens — “I went cam
ping and hiking in the Ap
palachian Mountains.”
Terry Gupton — “1 worked at
Fantastic Sam’s (Family Hair-
cutters). On the 10th, Susan
Wolfe and I went to Western
Carolina University to meet
with my brother, from there
we all went skiing.”
Marke Hooker — “I got a DUI
before spring break.
Therefore,, I worked to pay
my lawyer bills. But, I met a
beautiful blond at the hotel I
worked at. Now, I’m glad I got
the DUI.”
Sabrina Sowell — “I went to
Wilmington beach to visit a
friend.”
Marion Stone — “I went to
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the
beach, and to the Bahamas
with Connie Floyd, Gail
Rivenbark, and Phil Lloyd.
Jimmy Masters — “I went to
Fort Lauderdale in Florida. I
dropped my girlfriend for a
set of blond-haired twins. I
never had it so good.”
Irvin Williams — “I shucked
oysters at the Silver Lake See
Food Restaurant in Wilson.”
Lisa Lassiter — “I just relax
ed and enjoyed spending time
with my boyfriend.”
Nancy Clendenin — ‘‘I went
home (Richmond, Va.) and I
looked for a job.”
Wes Smith — “I went to Fort
Launderdale, Florida. I drank
a little bit and hit the bars. I
stayed with Tom Jones at his
grandparents’ home. We laid
out and caught some rays. We
visited the Yacht Club.”
Harold Patterson — “I went
to New York to visit some
relatives.”
Clara Faison — “Basketball.”
Catherine Beck & Beth
Bethune — “We went to
Florida to watch a golf tour
nament. Later, we visited
Disney World and The Epcot
Center.

week in Wilmington fishing.”
Ned Grady — “I went to the
ACC Championship games in
Atlanta, Ga,”
Mac Boleware — “My
girlfriend and I went to Myr
tle Beach and laid out during
the day. During the evenings
we danced the night away.”
Mike Ball — “I, also, went to
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I
laid on the beach with some
friends, drank cool beverages,
and watched the women go
by. We got lucky.”
Passover Celebrated
Passover is the feast com
memorating the deliverance
of the Hebrews from Egypt.
It is also referred to as the
“Feast of Unleavened Bread”
because the day the Hebrews
left Egypt, they did not have
time for their bread to rise so
they left out the leven (yeast).
According to Hebrew tradi
tion, God put ten plagues on
Pharaoh before he would
finally let the people go. In
the last plague, God killed all
the firstborn in Egypt. The
Hebrews had to kill a one-
year old lamb and put its
blood around the doors of
their houses as a sign to God
to “pass over” their first
born. They roasted-the lamb,
and ate it with unleavened
bread (bread without yeast)
arid bitter herbs.
It was during the Jewish
Passover season that the
Easter events took place. The
“Last Supper” was in fact, a
celebration of Passover by
Jesus and his friends.
Passover is still very impor
tant to people in Israel
because it is a part of their
history.
Jewish people all over the
world celebrate Passover the
same way that the Hebrew
people did that night. This
year, Passover will be
celebrated from March 29 to
April 5.

The Columns recently in
terviewed Mr. Easter Bunny.
The fact that Mr. Bunny has a
deep appreciation for music is
reflected in his answers.
COLUMNS: What are your
feelings toward people* who
don’t believe in the Easter
Bunny?
E.B.; They’re “Flirting With
Disaster”.
COLUMNS: Do you think
Peter Cottontail will en
danger your popularity and
business this year?
E.B.: “That’ll Be The Day”. I
say this to Peter Cottontail,
“Even if you ‘Hit Me With
Your Best Shot’ ‘I Will Sur
vive’. You see I’m ‘One In A
Million’ when it comes to
Easter Bunnies.”
COLUMNS: I wonder how
Mr. Cottontail will react to
that.
E.B.: He’s probably
somewhere “Crying” but “I’m
Not Gonna Let It Bother Me
Tonight” because
“Everybody’s Gotta Learn
Sometime” including Cotton
tail.
COLUMNS: How do you feel
with Easter approaching?
E.B.: “Dazed and Confused”.
Now that Easter’s here, “The
Party’s Over” for me and I’ll
take that “Morning Train”
every day to work from “9 to
COLUMNS: Is there
anything that would keep you
from delivering your eggs?
E.B.: Yes, “Smokey Mountain
Rain” or a “Disco Lady”.
When I see a “Disco Lady”, I
get a “Three Mile Smile” and
the feeling “I’m All Shook
Up.”
COLUMNS: Have you en
countered many troubles in
your extensive travels?
E.B.: I got “Cat Scratch
Fever” once, but “It’s All
Over Now”. Then “Once Upon
A Time” there was this
beautiful lady rabbit named
“Ruby Lee” who... Uh Oh!
“Here Comes Peter Cotton
tail!” I’d better “Burn Rub
ber” and get “On The Road
Again”. I suddenly
remembered that my eggs are
still boiling.
COLUMNS: I have a feeling
the next few minutes won’t be
the “Best of Times” for Mr. E.
Bunny. Have a Happy Easter!
History of Easter
WILLIAM WARREN
Easter is the time of year
for chocolate bunnies and
eggs. It seems natural enough
for us to eat these at an ac
customed time, but do we
ever stop to think why? There
is a reason.
The bunny is really a hare,
and according to legends of
Egypt, the hare is a symbol of
the moon. The date of Easter
is determined by the moon.
As for the eggs, they are
the symbol of new life, and
that probably is why is has
come to hold so much
significance at the com
memoration of the Resurrec
tion. The colored eggs are ex
changed as a token of peace at
Easter. Egg giving even goes
back to Egyptian customs.
The observance of Easter
as the time of the resurrec
tion of Christ is surely the
most significant “custom” of
all, for it commemorates that
very first Easter, more than
19 hundred years ago. It
began when the angel of the
Lord spoke from the garden.
“He is not here; for he is
risen.”
