But Lent can also mark the beginning of a new social life, a social life with Christ. What better time to become better acquainted with Jesus Christ, our Redeemer? What better time to build up a better relationship be tween the God-man, who opened the gates of heaven for us, than Lent. Because Lent is a prelude to Calvary, it can be the chance to build our spiritual nature to such a level that on Good Friday, the suffering Christ can look from the cross and see that His Mission to mankind was not in vain. the term. Setting and Mood Produce Unreality in Laetare Play by Lynda Rousseau It is sometimes hard to tell a story in grays and blues but the Laetare Play ers succeeded in their production of Ten nessee William's Glass Menagerie. The coloring of the set and the actors' cos tumes brought out the frustrated mood common to most of William's plays. The players drew a sharp contrast be tween make believe and reality. The mother, Amanda, unrealistically ignor- ters of public interest. As with every freedom, there must be limitations for liberty is not license. In this month of the Catholic Press, we have concerned ourselves with the ways that freedom of the press affects the college commun ity. Some student publications of of late, have expressed the opinion that such organs should be without pressure from faculty, student gov ernment, or any student, parental, and alumni groups. Undue pressure, it is true, should not ing her daughter's infirmity, expects her exist. A student publication is basically to live a completely normal life. Yet a vehicle of news.

And in a last up the guardianship of student rights, hopeless effort to find happiness she turns to a world of miniature glass ani mals which she polishes daily with lov ing care.

Multiple Motives Inspire Brotherhood or Worship Thy Lord Week. We do not ligations, expect secular reminders of our moral obligations. Yet, complacent Catholics regard Brotherhood Week in the same light as the annual acclaim of Home- makers' Week or National Sauerkraut Week. Brotherhood, respect for the dig nity of the individual, can be viewed on three levels, the personal, the patriotic, and the supernatural. Perhaps one of the most stirring char acters is the brother who recognizes that the family lives in a world of illusion. He claims that only Jim, the caller, is Man, being a social being, must answer for his social contacts and relationships. Any publication that endangers, for insufficient reasons, the human respect of an individual or body of individuals, is failing in its social responsibility. Therefore, some pressure or censorship, exert ed in the proper manner, could pre vent unnecessary attacks upon hu man respect. Any freedom is a gift to rational real.
