Novel 'Tells Of H-Bomb Suspicion If for no other reason than to have a handy "what and how to do it" book just in case the world -save the tiny little hide-away you happen to live in-is com pletely -destroyed by H4bomb ex plosions, Alas, Babylon by novel ist Pat Frank is an interesting 254-page parcel of science fiction. Recently published by J. P. Lippincott (Philadelphia and New York), the novel has its setting in Florida at a little known .place called Fort Repose. Hero in the book, Randolph Bragg, has strong inclinations that the Russians are up to something . . . probably his suspicions are based on intelligence reports and a myriad facts from his brother (a reliable source) with the* -Strategic Air Command, who also suspects something is up. Resorts Are Targets After much ado, a number of H-bombs find targets on such resorts and time-honored tourist attractions as Miami, Tampa, St. .ir ~Petersburg, Jacksonville and Or lando. Randy is the indispensible man of the half-hour and the Johnny on the spot. He makes an interest ing story of life aifter H,bombs, feeding on Armadillos, etc. The story should not be taken too seriously, even though it's pleasant reading for the avid science fiction fan ... and to this group, it will prove a popular at traction. -CMR FORh 707 H COLI Get satisfj *I F IIL .*N DRY SMOK D-OUT 9 ***.

Painting Stresses Lines Using one of the paintings in the show as an example, Bardin described the large 50" x 60" oil, titled "Accents in Space," as "a high key painting with little con trast, which achieves a feeling of flat space stressing vertical and horizontal lines." The painting is done in pale greens, yellow greens and tones from yellow to orange. The show is open to the public and there is no admission charge. This is the fourth in a series of exhibits arranged by Prof. Ed mu.nd Yaghjian, head of the de partment of fine arts.

To the modern churchman it means a period of preparation for Easter. Ash-Wednesday begins this sea son and it is interesting to note that the six Sundays of Lent are not a part of Lent. Every Sunday commorates Easter, so they are feasts. Ash-Wednesday Ash-Wednesday takes its name from the ancient custom of car rying to church the palms that had been blessed on the-Palm Sunday of the previous year. Here they were -burnt and the ashes placed on the foreheads of the faithful in the shape of a cross, this was to show that man is but (lust and will return to dust. Our 40-day Lenten period com memorates Christ's fasting and preparation in the wilderness, and so serves as a preparation for the feast of Easter. The Fourth Sunday in Lent is known as Mid-Lent, Mothering Sunday, or Refreshment Sunday from the Gospel for the day which tells the story of the feeding of the multitude. The second Sunday before Easter is called Passion Sunday, because of the Gospel reference Placement Interviews Next Week Placement interviews for the week of March 30 through April 3 have been scheduled as follows.

Palm Sunday This past Sunday was Palm Sunday, more commonly known as the Sunday -before Easter. It is also the first day of Holy Week, and observes Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem to proclaim his Messiahship. It is on this day that we think of Christ as the victorious King. Today, M a u n d y Thursday, takes its name from the word meaning "mandate" or "com mand." It was on this day that the Lord commanded the apostles to love one another and to .par take of the Blessed Sacrament "in remembrance of Me," as He instituted in the Euchrist. In addition to the institution of the Euchrist we remember on Maun dy Thursday our Lord's washing the feet of the 12 apostles, and His betrayal and arrest. Good Friday Good Friday is the saddest day in the Christian year. It is on this day that we think of our Lord on the Cross, and from noon until three, we attend church to hear meditations on the seven last words or other appropriate themes. Good Fri day is the only day in the year when the .Lord's Supper is not celebrated. The day, when Christ's body lay in the garden of Joseph of Arimathea, is given the name Easter Eve. This is the 24 hour period preceding Easter. It is on this Saturday that Lent comes to a close. Faster The day which follows the last day of Lent is Easter. The key to a Christian's .belief is found in the fact that Christ is risen. Easter is the Queen of the Feasts and the apex of the church year. It is upon its date that three fourths of the rest of the year is hinged. Its date may be from March 22 to April 25 and is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring equi nox. On Easter we look to the fu ture. Our hopes are great and their fulfillment is assured. The Easter message gives us confid enee and hope.
