nightmare—but converted and went on a
striking spree up to the last frame.

Lisbon
The Tour Office is offering a very
special charter flight to Lisbon, Por-
tugal. It will depart late the evening
of Jan. 29 and return late Feb. 5. To
make the flight possible, though, we
must have a sufficient number'of people
interested in going. If you wish to go,
call the Tour Office immediately to find
out about the extra-low price for the
round-trip airfare-, and to sign up for
the trip. We will also be setting up
hotel accommodations if a sufficient
number of people sign up for the trip.
To travel to Portugal, it is recom-
mended that all people travel with a
passport. It is possible for military
personnel to travel with just a military
ID and leave papers, but the leave pa-
pers must contain certain statements at-
testing to their validity in both French
and Portuguese. If you do not yet have
a passport, it is a simple matter to ob-
tain one here in Iceland. Call the
passport office at 7102 for the exact
procedure that must be followed to get
one. Keep in mind, though, that it does
take two or three weeks to have one
issued, so if you wish to have one be-
fore going to Lisbon, you should contact
the passport office as soon as possible.
For more information. call the Tour
Office at 4420 or 4200.
