              The LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XXXIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, April 12, 1957 No. 22 Sheen Tonight, Riesel To Appear Next On Forum Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, who speaks tonight at 8:30 p.m. in the Fieldhouse under. Loyola Forum auspices, needs no introduction. No one is more cognizant of the fact than the Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., Forum director, who has introduced the Bishop in his last few appearances with brevities like "You know him. Here he is." Besides his numerous more famous endeavors, he is known to New Orleanians as an annual lecturer on the Loyola Forum series. He has appeared here every year since the Forum was inaugurated 15 years ago. And each year the crowds grow larger. Bishop Sheen, whose program was in competition with "Uncle Miltie" (Milton Berle) is regarded as the best known Catholic clergyman in this country. Besides his weekly "Life It Worth Living" television program, the Bishop has more than 30 books to his credit, writes a pair of newspaper columns and edits two magazines. In spite of all these duties, he has found time to become one of Catholicism's best known convert winners, numbering such personalities as Henry Ford, 111, Claire Booth Luce, Heywood Broun, Fritz Kreisler, Elizabeth Bentley, Virginia Mayo and Louis Budenz among his list of converts. In the field of television, he has been named the Radio and Television Arts "Man of the Year," and has similar citations from the Freedom Foundation, Associated Press and the Catholic Stage Guild of Ireland. Last month, he was one of five nominated for the Emmy award to the most outstanding television personality. Perry Como walked away with the Emmy, however. • Ordained in Peoria, 111., in 1919, the clergyman was named papal chamberlain to Pope Pius XI and was consecrated as bishop in Rome, June 11, 1951. The bishop holds degrees from the Angelican College in Rome, the University of Louvain in Belgium and Catholic University of America. In previous years, the bishop has appeared in Municipal Auditorium, but the Forum site this year was changed to make it easier for students to attend, according to Father Toomey. Victor Riesel, New York labor columnist who lost his sight at the hands of an acid flinging assailant last year, will appear on the last program of the 1956-57 Loyola Forum Tuesday, April 23, in the Roosevelt Hotel's Grand Ballroom. The writer, who has plagued New York labor racketeers for years, recently revealed that he is able to see shapes in one of his eyes. Earlier doctors had believed that his total blindness was permanent.Even without his eyes, he has continued to write his column without relenting in his fight with forces he believes are hurting the cause of labor. The attack on Riesel occurred on Broadway just after he had walked out of Lindy's Restaurant where he had gone for a late supper. Earlier that evenight, he had broadcast an acid attack against criminal and Communist elements in the labobr movement. The hoodlum who threw the acid was later found murdered on a New York street. Several accomplices were tried and convicted.Several television plays have been based on the columnist's life and a movie is now being prepared. Some attribute the current Congressional labor racketeering investigations largely to Riesel's work. Riesel will finale the Forum which has presented Countess Alexandra Tolstoy, daughter of the great Russian novelist; Douglas Hyde, one time editor of the London Daily Worker and a convert to Catholicism; and the Little Singers of Paris, famed French boys choir, and will present Bishop Fulton J. Sheen tonight at 8:30 p.m. in the Fieldhouse. BISHOP SHEEN VICTOR RIESEI. Pan-Am Club Plans Dance The annual Pan-American Club spring semi-formal will be held Sunday, April 21 from 9 to 1 at the American Legion Hall, 2501 Metairie Road, Bob Courtney, president, announced. This is the eighth year the Pan-American Club is sponsoring the affair, Courtney said. Garsaud, Murret Win Moot Finals The team of Marcel Garsaud and Gene Murret were the winners of the Freshman Moot Court Competition held Tuesday, sponsored by the St. Thomas More Law Club. Murret was chosen the best speaker of the event, and received a Black's Law Dictionary. Uunners-up in the competition were: Tom Fowler and Cy Courtney, who received silver keys as a consolation prize, while the winners received gold keys. Judge Anna Vetert Levy presided over the event, and the other judge* included Judges Luther Hall and Edward Haggerty.Judges of the briefs were the Messrs. Charles E. Cabibi, A. Lambert Voorhies and Edward A. Wallace, all former Loyola law school graduated. Adding a touch of interest to the event, after the semi-final round both teams were on the same side of the case, and Murret and Garsaud voluntarily agreed to change their briefs in favor of the other side. MARCEL GARSAUD and GENE MURRET Critic Finney Lauds Thespians' 'Pilate' By TOM FINNEY You may grow tired of reading in this paper, praise upon praise of Leo Zinser and his group of Thespians, but I-assure you that this is due to the fact that this combination can do no wrong. Pilate, a play in five scenes, written and produced by Thespian director Zinser, has moved its way into the hearts of audiences for the fourth time in as many years, as the Loyola acting group opened in Marquette Auditorium Wednesday night. Zinser has managed to put together some of the finest actors that students and friends of the University have had the pleasure to witness in the past few years. With Richard Redmann in the title role, the play is a divergence from the normal passion play to a view of the condemnation and death of Christ from behind the doors of Pilate's palace. Redmann captured first-nighters with his eloquence and appearance. Mickey Jung in the role of Centus, a Roman inspector, was warmly received by all present with his air of humor and cynicism, well portrayed in a difficult part. Myra Monahan as Procla, was more brilliant on the stage than she is in class—if that's possible. Her enunciation, diction, . and eloquence of line delivery, especially in the telling of her dream, left all amazed. I have reached a definite conclusion that WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LEO C. ZINSER CAST Centus Mickey Jung Pilate Richard Redmann Procla Myra Monahan Glaucus John Wilmot First Serving Girl Linda Wilson Second Serving Girl Loretta Garvey Man Servant Gerald Bodet Caiphas -..Bill Longfellow Annas _ Al Monlezun Joseph Bill Wells Mary of Magdala Gloria de Bram Mary Mary Lynne Block John Wilmont is truly one of the finest newcomers that Leo Zinser has had in his charge during the past four years. After a masterful performance in All for Love, Wilmot has returned as Glaucus, second in command to Pilate, and amazed us with his naturalness of movement and delivery, a quality much needed for the success of any production, especially one such as this. Al Monlezun and Pill Longfellow did a good job in their parts of the Jewish high priests, though the latter at times, seemed to mouth his lines. The stage seemed at times extremely crowded but the actors succeeded in, not disturbing any of the set. Compliments should go to Bill Louree and Don Earnest who were in charge of lighting for the production. The effective use of lights, especially at the close of the second scene, lent greatly to the success of the play. Sets were handled by Bill Longfellow and Reggie Hendry; costuming was by Lillnette Hiller and Kate Scully; and sound effects were handled by the Rev. Homer R. Jolley, S.J., and Herbert Sayas. Pilate will be staged again tonight and Saturday beginning at 8 :30 p. m. Don't miss it.

Tripoli Cops Award As APhA's Most Active Pharmacy students must make their presence felt in political circles if the profession is to attain its proper influence, the secretary of Louisiana's board of pharmacy, told Loyola students Saturday night. Addressing the 20th annual banquet-dance of the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association in the St. Charles Hotel, Eugene W. Vogt, of Ferriday, La., told the members that code-of-ethic laws such as the one adopted by Louisiana were necessary to pharmacy. "If such laws were adopted in two-thirds of the states, the influence of pharmacy as a profession would be second to none," he asserted. Such influence would enable graduate pharmacists to expect and get commissions and other armed services benefits awarded to doctors, dentists and veterinarians, the speaker asserted. Vogt and Joseph J. Biundo of Independence, La., past president of the Louisiana State Pharmaceutical Association, received the student branch's annual awards as the year's outstanding Louisiana pharmacists. FRANK TRIPOLI (right) was named the outstanding pharmacy student. ROBERT SONNIER (left) APhA president presents the award. Bailey Award Nominations Nominations for the Charles H.
