REPORT ON MARRIED VETS SIR: The Married Vets Club of Notre Dame is probably the most recently or­ ganized group under the shadow of the Golden Dome. With .Father Ted Hes- burgh as the club's moderator and Mr. and Mrs. F. X. Bradley, Jr., assisting him immeasurably, the Club sponsored a get-together on the evening of May 7th at the Eockne Memorial Lounge. A sur­ prising number were on hand, and obliged by filling out questionnaires for the club's Statistical Committee. The "Ladies of Notre Dame" generously served refreshments, and a pleasant eve­ ning was enjoyed by all. A basic Steering Committee was formed, and plans are in the making for a retreat in June, a picnic to Michi­ gan, and many other activities. Final preparations were laid for the "B. 0. Plenty and Gravel Gertie" dance on May 24th. It will be held at the American Legion Hall in Mishawaka, and will be Shrink Control from 8 until ?? The Affair will be one accentuated by OLD CLOTHES, and no one will be allowed in if they are anywhere 100 percent Virgin Wool at all dressed up. No shaves and no make-up, folks! Mr. and Mrs. Jack Whitely will act as chairmen. Special reserved tickets for the "Mi­ kado" performance in Washington Hall Adler Hose on May 29th were arranged for by Mr. F. X. Bradley, Jr. Only 140 tickets were secured which members may obtain at the Athletic Office. . . .

Chairman of "The Mikado" in Washington Hall Dr. George Briggs Collins, professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame, has been named by the University By JOE CHENEY of Rochester, N. Y., as chairman of its department of physics to direct import­ ant postwar developments in that field, Alan Valentine, president of the eastern univei'sity has announced. On leave from Notre Dame since Feb- i-uary of 1941, Dr. Collins has been a leader in the National Defense Research council's radiation laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., and will begin his new duties in September of this year. Dr. Collins succeeds Dr. Lee A. Du- Bridge, head of the Rochester physics department for the last 12 years, who has been named president of the Cal­ ifornia Institute of Technology. The two were closely associated during the war in the radiation laboratory and out of this grew the emphatic recommendation by Dr. DuBridge to the officers and trus­ tees of the University of Rochester that his successor be Dr. Collins. In September, 1933, Dr. Collins went to the University of Notre Dame as in- sti-uctor in physics, rising through the ranks to a full professorship.

Last Saturday night the Univei'sity Drill Hall was the scene of a gala event which this section of the country has never seen before. There wei'e appi'oxi- mately 4,000 people in attendance, and 1,000 of them were doing the enter­ taining. The occasion was the Midwest Confer­ ence of the Associated Male Choruses of America's Victory Sing. This was the post^var Concert of the Association. It was attended by some 30 Male Choruses from Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois, Avith the Studebaker Male Chor­ us of South Bend as host. The Combined Choruses were situated on a gigantic stage which filled the east end of the Drill Hall. The plans for this stage were drawn up by Mel Niemier, Studebaker corporation engineer.

If you ever feel the urge to climb iip to Our Lady's perch on the Main Build­ ing these words from, "Paul Eevere's Eide," "will certainly come to mind. Some of you with a mathematical frame of mind will find that there are 103 steps plus 13 more on a very dilapidated lad­ der leading to the roof. But a climb to the upper reaches is well Avorth the en- ergj' and the horse linament needed to restore one's legs to normal. By the time you have climbed 103 steps you feel you're scraping the strato- phere, but it's only there you get to feel the antiquity of Notre Dame. Even the dust is in keeping with the atmosphere forming a thin veil incasing the glory of this once proud floor. If it hadn't been for the occasional murmurings of the students of the Fine Arts Department wMch is housed on the fourth floor, I might well have been back in the year 1883 when, on a blowy October morning they hoisted the 16-foot gilded statue of Our Lady to her pedestal atop the dome. Considering that the statue weighed 4,400 lbs., the operation was rather pre­ carious. The statue, a gift of the girls of St. Mary's Academy, was the work of Mr. Giovanni Meli of Chicago and stood on top of the front porch of the Adminis­ tration building from Aug. 14, 1880, until that day in 1883 when it was placed on the dome.

In the past the ceremony consisted of a military-field Mass on an altar set up in the doorway. Then in the community cemetery behind Holy Cross Seminary, wreaths of flowers were laid upon the graves of the priests who had served as Chaplains during war time. Taps, a rifle salute and the murmur of prayer, con­ cluded the touching services. During the first World War Notre Dame gave generously of her student body and faculty. 2,200 students served in World War I while 56 paid the su­ preme sacrifice. Six of the faculty joined the service as Chaplains. Among them were Father Charles O'Donnell, poet and president; hard, horse riding Father George Finnegan, later Bishop of Hel­ ena, Montana; and Matthew J. Walsh, then Vice-President of Notre Dame. An interesting story is told concerning Fa­ ther Walsh and one Pvt. Dan McGlynn, a Notre Dame student in khaki. Father Walsh knew that a certain officer was looking for college men to train as in­ telligence officers. Knowing that Pvt. Dan was in the ^vicinity, he referred him to the officer.

It was one of the few buildings on the campus to escape the destructive fire of 1879, and sometime thereafter, because of the loss of the former infirmary in the fire, it inevitably became its successor. After The Ave Maria had moved to another office, a dentist, a barber, and some University offices moved into the fixst floor of the three story building.

In 1928 Frank worked hard and made the varsity. He was a sub center but didn't see much- action because the team wasn't up to the usual Rockne standards, and Rockne was forced to use the reg­ ulars for most of the games.

For him this was the re­ ward for all the hard woi-k he had done during the previous two years. He de­ scribes it as one of the most exciting experiences of his life.
