Letter From a Visitor Father Craddick recently received the folloiving letter from an admirer of our school: Dear Notre Dame Students: Last week-end I visited your campus for the second time. Of course, I was thrilled with the architectural beauty of its buildings, the natural loveliness of its landscape, and especially with the magnanimous feeling that the Blessed Virgin is a willing pioneer -within your grounds. But first let me tell you of my other visit to Notre Dame. I was a newly-graduated youth and going to college myself the following fall.

Determined Voters Split All Tickets Thornton, Kelley Win Top Senior Positions Notre Dame's class elections came to a sudden but quiet climax Tuesday aft­ ernoon as voters from all four comers of the campus flocked to the Dining HaH poUs to name their leaders for the com­ ing year.

John "Sparky" Thornton was hailed as next year's senior class presi­ dent when the balloting was over.

Notre Dame's 1949 football team, pos­ sibly a seven-game loser according to Coach Frank Leahy,- is not expected to lose tomorrow afternoon when it plays the Old Timers in the annual spring practice finale.

ARY JANE gives the telephone in her M'hous e a real work-out. But we're not worried a bit. We know Mary Jane's telephone is going to keep right on delivering good service year after year. Because the Bell System puts a lot of time, thought, and testing into making telephone equipment as rugged and trouble-free as possible. Tests are constantly under way at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. There, for example, new types of telephone instru­ ments are put through a school of hard knocks. Dials and other parts are given strength and wear tests. Even the bottom of the telephone set has been designed and checked to make sure that it will not scratch or stain furniture. Such tests—on little things as well as on big things—help give you the world's best telephone service at the lowest possible cost.

The Road to Damascus, Edited by John A. O'Brien, Doubleday and Company, Garden City, New York, 1949. $2.50. In his preface to this book its editoi', Notre Dame's Father O'Brien, gives this reason for its existence and its title: "... the road to Damascus has become the symbol and the synonym of the road traveled by the long army of pilgrims from the dark domain of doubt into the white light of countless hosts of converts to Christ and to His Church. That is the road traveled by the fifteen men and women who tell the story of their jour­ ney in this book." The Road to Damascus is then a col­ lection of personal experiences, an an­ thology of conversions. As such it is a highly significant and highly readable work. For, first of all, those fifteen men and women are a distinguished group. They include such outstanding East wind, west wind, no wind at all, it's always fair figures as Evelyn Waugh, Senator Wag­ and cooler in Van Heusen "Air Weave.'''
