GRAPHIC ARTS STUDENT WINS THIRD IN NATIONAL BOOK COVER CONTEST Angelina College graphic arts student Alex Jones won third place in a contest to design the cover for a soon-to-be-released suspense novel, Hulagu's Web" by David Hearne. The book is about Katherine Laforge, a female U.S. senator who is running for president. If elected, she will be the first woman president in the history of the United States. The suspense revolves around her presidential pursuit.

Their entries were posted on the author's website, http://www.hulagusweb.com/, and the winner selected by a panel of judges.
