The commission said Loyola established "one clear preference which is decisive of its case—its past record of performance in relation to station WWL over a period of many years in the principal community (New Orleans). "It has established another clear preference: diversification of communication interests. Under these circumstances of compartive superiority, the public interest, convenience and necessi- ty will be served by a grant herein to Loyola." The Very Rev. W. Patrick Donnelly, S.J., said that Loyola "will exert every effort to hasten service to the viewers. Loyola plans to bring the same high quality service to television that has characterized its 35 years of operating radio station WWL." The station will be located in the building purchased from the Zetz Bottling Co. tome year* ago in the 1000 block of North Rampart St. Work will begin soon on the renovating and remodeling program to transform the structure into a TV broadcasting studio.

The original Thirty Club was formed in 1947 with Leo Adde, now an Item editorial writer, as its first president. The purpose of the club at that time was purely social. The club was re-organized several year 3 ago through the efforts of Mike O'Connor, Leo Duffy, Jane Suhor, Shirley Stoma, Joan Gaulene and other journalism students.

Bishop Sheen On Forum Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, noted orator, author and television personality, will make his annual appearance on the Loyola Forum April 11 at 8:30 p.m. in the Fieldhouse.By moving the lecture site from the Municipal Auditorium, where the bishop has made his previous appearances, to the Fieldhouse, the Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., Forum director, hopes to attract a larger student audience. Among his accomplishments are his "Life is Worth Living" TV series, more than 30 books, two newspaper columns and editorship of two magazines. But in the bishop's eyes, these works are overshadowed by his work in making converts. Among his better known converts are Henry Ford 11, Fritz Kreisler, Heywood Broun, Louis Budenz, Elizabeth Bentley, Virginia Mayo and Clare Booth Luce. His television efforts won him the Radio and Television Daily Arts "Man of the Year" citation, and similar awards from the Freedom Foundation, Associated Press and the Catholic Stage Guild of Ireland. Just this past, week Bishop Sheen was one of five nominated for the Emmy award (television and radio) as the year's outstanding personality . . . this nomination (Perry Como won) was quite a distinction in itself. Though in recent years, his lecture circuit has been vastly curtailed by other business, he has kept the New Orleans Loyola Forum appearance on his short list of traveling appearances. Bishop Sheen's appearance will be followed 11 days later by the April 23 presentation of Victor Riesel, labor columnist who doubleddoubled his fame last year by being the victim of an acid-throwing attack in New York City. The site of his appearance will be announced later. BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN
