I am a fellow matriculant at Texas A&M and a couple of years ago I met 
Bill Page at his home, the infamous Monkey House. Bill is one of the 
curators of the University's SF collections, and listed "Easter Sunday" 
in his bibliographic history AGGIELAND/FANTASYLAND, presumably compiled 
from the original local and university publications.

I've e-mailed Bill about the disclaim and to see if the original 
publication can be looked at.

Best,
Jeff
