The JAMBALAYA staff feels honored in dedicating the 1950 JAMBALAYA to a man who con-tributes
a vital part to student life in all its aspects on the Tulane campus. •
To his boys in Tulane's band, he is known and loved as "The Chief;" to peo-ple
in the intercollegiate music world he is recognizezd as one of the leaders;
and to musicians everywhere he is known as a fine composer and director.
• To us, at Tulane, he is "the man with the band" and is held in highest re-gard.
With this in mind we respectfully dedicate the 1950 JAMBALAYA to
John J. Morrisey.

WARREN MIX, President
The Tulane Student Council, composed of one
member from each of the eight colleges, is the
highest governing body of Tulane students. All mat-ters
of finances and policy are directly administered
by the Council. All campus groups are subject to its
approval for recognition and for continued function-ing.
Meeting at least once, sometimes twice, each
week, the 1949-50 Council organized for the first
time on the Tulane campus a "Leadership Council,"
composed of the presidents of all campus groups and
organizations. This leadership council serves as a co-ordinating
and advisory body for all areas of student
activity.
The Student Council officers are popularly elected
by the entire student body of Tulane University, and
the Council members are the popularly elected presi-dents
of each of the respective colleges.

The Art work on "Pete" the pelican was done by Bill
Brockway.
The photography was done by the Tulane Photo Serv-ice
with Armand Bertin and Vi doing the yeoman work.
On the whole, we the editors have felt that Tulane
has had one of its biggest years. It was a year when
there was much to be proud, of course every rose has the
proverbial thorn and Tulane was no exception (witness
the N.D. and L.S.U. fiascos). But on the whole the spirit
gained, the campus wide elections drew tremendous in-terest
as well as the election of the first Miss Pauline
Tulane, and then the addition of a real, live mascot in
the form of a pelican.
The book this year was dedicated to John J. Morrissey,
Director of the Tulane Band, for the reasons expressed
in the dedication but it was a hard close choice with
Monk Simons leaving the campus. Dr. John H. Stibbs do-ing
his work in student life, and Coaches Frnka and Wells
doing such splendid jobs. We the editors, pay humble
tribute to these men, and in the name of the JAMBAL-AYA
thank them for their help to the Tulane Student
Body.

SAW IT
Excerpts from the Edi'.orial
Pages of the Tulane Hullabaloo
October 6 . . . With regret we ac-cept
the inevitable and approve the
recommendation of the Student Coun-cil
to publish the names of honor sys-tem
violators . . . we hope that this
measure will detour potential violators
and therefore have to be exercised
very little . . . October 13 . . . The
return of a semblance :>f orderly con-duct
at the movies in McAlister Audi-torium
last weekend was heartening
... it might seem facetious to congratu-late
college students for behaving as
gentlemen, but in vi.ew cf the exam-ples
of rudeness during movies in the
past, we think that praise is called for
. . . October 20 . . . Notre Dame's
Frank Leahy has a theory about how
many players take the field in a foot-ball
game. He says that it takes twelve
men to win. He sends eleven onto the
field and leaves it up to the students to
keep that other "man"
—
fhe rooters in
the stands and on the campus—encour-aging
and supporting the first eleven
. . . we believe that the Greenies were
outnumbered Saturday: Tulane had elev-en
good men on the field, but Notre
Dame had twelve . . . November 10
. . . A.D. 1950 will be remembered as
an important year in university history.
It will be the year that construction was
first started on units of a large-scale
Tulane dormitory housing program . . .
December 1 . . . This week, the after-math
of the LSU game, it became in-creasingly
plain that there exists on
the Tulane campus a relative lack of
school spirit . . . we face a great
challenge: every student, fiom the hoari-est
upperclassman to the freshman wet-test
behind the ears, must take part
in a rebirth of ardor, or else Tulane
spirit will inevitably die a slow death
. . . December 15 ... Dr. Kieffer has
succeeded in smearing Tulane's name
and creating an impression in the minds
of many—an impression that must be
removed ... we call upon Dr. Kieffer
to announce the names of any Com-munistic
professors . . . Who are they?
What is their organization? II Dr. Kieffer
doesn't do this, he stands self-convicted
of dealing us all a hard kick . . . Jan-uary
5 . . . Tulane needs a centrally
located Student Union Building. The
present Student Center has neither ade-quate
space nor enough equipment to
provide for the needs of a student
population in excess of 6,500 . . .
January 12 ... A couple of years ago
it was no task at all to gel a ticket for
a Tulane basketball game . . . now, if
we want a ticket, we have to hike over
to the stadium and back ... a more
practical location for the ticket office is
a must . . . February 9 . . Another
slam at fraternities this month—this
lime by Mrs. Glenn Frank, widow of
the former president of the University
of Wisconsin, in an article, "Citadels
of Snobbery," in this month's Pageant
magazine . . . she failed to emphasize
the high ideals and good works of
fraternities and sororities ... at Tu-lane
we have seen few instances of
snobbery, undemocratic or un-American
action on the part of her fraternities
and sororities. Instead thsy are an im-portant
part of student life . . . Feb-ruary
18 . . . The Hullabaloo takes pride
once again in advocating New Orleans'
grandest and most distinctive tradition —the wearing of a mask on Ivlardi Gras
day . . . "we commend those student
groups that are decorating trucks which
will follow the Rex parade Tuesday
morning . . . and we urge every stu-dent
to abandon his studies for a day
to don a mask and costume . . . March
2 ... At its third convention this week,
the Student Federation of Louisiana Col-leges
and Universities will have arrived
at a crucial point . . . should SFLCU
fail to accomplish anything that will
make students aware and appreciative
of its existence, it will be relegated
to the role of just another organization
. . . the Federation has to choose be-tween
real and written existence . . .
March 9 . . . "Happy birthday" to
Carnival, Tulane's literary magazine . . .
when its first issue appeared last May,
a long-felt gap in the structure of stu-dent
activities "was filled ... it seems
to be here to stay . . . March 16 . .
From all reports, the best Campus Nite
in many years hit Tulane Saturday, but
an estimated 400 persons were turned
away from the already overflowing
Dixon Hall . . . why wasn't Campus
Nite given at McAlister? . . . maybe
someone who wanted to see Campus
Nite will never get the chance . . . we
wouldn't want that to happen . . . Cam-pus
Nite was too enjoyable . . . March
23 ... If a student doesn't vote, he is
a nonentity in student government, and
has no basis for criticizing any actions
of the Student Council . . . how can
he chastise the representatives for fail-ing
to meet their obligation to him
when he has failed them? . . . now is
the time for each student to survey the
candidates, find out their qualifications,
check their platforms and then vote in
three officers whom he thinks will run
things the way he likes *hem run . . .
March 30 . . . Tomorrow's election sees
the end of the middleman: for the first
time in the history of the University,
the student has a direct voice in elect-ing
his president . . . the turn-out will
be an index of the student body's in-terest
in a good old American ideal that
thinking people have guarded jealously
for centuries . . . Abe Lincoln christ-ened
it—government by tho people . .
April 13 . . . The fast-buck boys have
finally run up against an imposing ob-stacle
to their recent "successes" in
the Vieux Carre . . . that obstacle is
an enraged citizenry . . . the oppor-tunity
is certainly here for the honest
club-owners and operators in French
town to form the vanguard of a clean-up
corps down there . . . April 20 . .
Saturday the Student Council closed
its doors to interested students when
reaching the decision to invalidate the
recent election . . . the council had no
right to do so . . . an oversight? . . .
April 27 . . . This is the last semester
for James M. Robert, dean of the Col-lege
of Engineering ... he has served
Tulane faithfully for 44 years ... no
longer will new students hear his fa-therly
advice that "there is no mystery
in engineering" . . . his philosophy
held that the answers were there for
anyone who "would search for them . . .
May 4 . . . Tulane needs something
more than a weekly paper . . . under
present circumstances, the Hullabaloo
cannot adequately serve the purposes
of Tulane's student body . . . many
other universities, having little more
claim to greatness than Tulane, publish
student dailies ... if Tulane can't be
on the list with Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
California, Baylor, Michigan, Missouri,
Virginia and L.S.U., all of whom publish
fine college dailies, can't the student
body here try at least to publish some-thing
more than a weekly tabloid? —Charles Ramond.

CHEERLEADERS
The Cheerleaders, this year had their best year in terms of co-operation
of the student body. Tulane's spirit began to arrive at
the first football game and continually grew largely due to the help
of the athletes who this year fought hard In every game that they
played.
Tulane was proud of these men and found it easy to cheer for
them and consequently did cheer with all their might.
Fog-horn voiced Rudy Eason and cute HI Tinky Thibaut were
head and assistant cheerleaders. Pete Roux and Frank McDonald
flip-flopped in a professional manner to help make the squad have
a sharper crew. Don Harris and Jackie Vizzini contributed much to
the new yells and last, but not least, Edie Harris from Tennessee
kept the squad in a constant dither with her southern drawl.

BAND
John "Chief" Morrissey
The Tulane University Band draws its membership,
during the football season, from the men students of the
University. During the concert season membership is
open to women students as well. The Band performs at
all home football games and is noted for its intricate
and interesting "Half-time Shows." Its theme song, "Way
Down Yonder," is a forerunner for much of the popular
swing music played at each game—both in the stands
and on the field.
The Band Spring Concert is an annual event scheduled
for the first week in May. This year the concert was
given on three successive nights to accommodate the
large and enthusiastic audiences.
A Spring Concert Tour is a yearly planned feature of
the Band's activities. During the concert season the Band
plays music ranging from Bach to Gershwin.

CAMPUS NIGHT: SUCCESS STORY
This year's series of Campus Nights under the direction of Wynne Pearce,
Jr., piled up a record of one success after another. Pearce won hearty
congratulations for his skillful use of student talent in producing three
we 1
1 -staged, well-directed and highly entertaining shows.
The first show was the bright spot of the bleak Fall Registration week.
Even before school had actually begun Pearce had combined songs, laughs,
and pretty girls to produce an excellent show, Jack Dabdoub was at his
best in a black-face number. Red Watson, hit of last year's Campus
Night, scored another success with "Coffee Time." Providing excellent
comedy was the director, Pearce, with his inimitable monologues "Romeo
and Juliet" and "Macbeth" both done in the "light" manner. Excellent
jokes made such scenes as the discussion between the pinkish professor
and the not-too-bright freshman favorites with the audience. The enthusiasm
of the cast and the freshness and imagination evident in the staging
promised even better things to come.
omise was fulfilled in March, when the smash hit "Dig Your Own
was presented in Dixon Hall. This show, an original musical comedy
pt, words, music and choreography by Tulene and Newcomb stu-
But, where's the other end?
Hey, Louie, you kill dat cockroach yet!
dents, surpassed all previous Campus Night performances in spectator ap-peal.'
Playing to a packed house, the cast gave such an excellent per-formance
that they repeated the show three weeks later in Dixon Hall and
hit the road to Baton Rouge to draw rave notices from critical L. S. U.
spectators.
"Dig Your Own Grave" though full of digs, was anything but grave, as
the laughter of delighted audiences proved. Following the alternately
bored, alternately frantic antics of Detective Sam Shovel, played in an
admirably sneering manner by Ed Nelson, his scatter-brained secretary.
Effie (Jere Johnson), a shell-shocked sailor (Joe Ross) who followed pretty
Mary Lou Soudain around when not in a trance brought on by the words
"Twenty-four hundred," the audience found itself on a cross country tour.
The scene quickly shifted from Shovel's corpse-ridden office to a bar
"somewhere in the French Quarter." Pearce evoked hearty laugnter with
his imitation of a dypsomaniac searching for her husband who had "started
drinking again," before the doughty Shovel was slipped a Mickey by
wicked-looking Kit Landon. Shovel, recovering from his potent cocktail,
and his cronies continued the search for the murderer of the neglected
corpse in his office. In Mexico, they found brief diversion in watching
a colorful Paso Doble, choreographed and danced by Trudy Miangolarra
and Louis Vergne. Falling again into the hands of evil companions, the
scene changed to an opium den. The choreography of this ballet by Trudy
grip on the brush
Miangolarra and its performance by Trudy and Pat May, combined with its
almost professional staging, lighting, and execution made this one of the
most popular scenes of the whole show. Ending up at a ranch "Way Out
West," our bungling but never-daunted hero solved the mystery.
Such a show as "Dig Your Own Grave" indicates that Tulane has the
talent and the ambition to produce first-class amateur comedies that are
something more than a campus-wide talent night. Its success from a
spectator as well as participant's point of view was due to several factors.
Aside from enioying the unexpected throughout the show, it was observed
that on the whole the production could not be compared with other per-formances
of its kind by amateur or professional groups, and spectators
were left with the feeling of having seen something different—something
for the first time. The reaction of the participants without exception to
playing some part in the production of an original show was that of
contributing something appreciated by others which they themselves could
call their own.
Credit belongs to Wynne Pearce, who directed fhe rehearsals, lost a few
night's sleep over the script, and who successfully assigned leadership
responsibilities throughout the organization, which paid off in the form of
cooperation and coordination of effort, respect for talents, and a total feeling
of accomplishment, whatever the individual contribution. Credit also be-longs
to the song writers, Segal. Baggett, Pearce, and Einar Pedersen,
whose music and lyrics added the intangible spark of originality and
freshness that made the show worth seeing more than once. The originality
of the show was a challenge to the numerous committees, such as the stage
crew under Frank Cannon, who fought the battle of purchase orders to
produce some remarkable sets. Finally, the integration of creative ideas
and efforts by the unseen crews and committees was polished off and
presented to the office by tireless cast.
Einar Pedersen. Assistant to the Director of Student Life, added more
than music for several songs to the show. His calm, friendly advice and
constant presence and encouragement provided the inspiration that such
a large-scale student production needs to progress past the embryo stage.
With such encouragement and with the enthusiasm for such performances
greatly stimulated during the past year, the Campus Night organization
looks with eager anticipation toward a tremendous growth and greater
achievements in years to come.

T U L A N E
UNIVERSITY
THEATRE DIRECTOR MONROE LIPPMAN
TUT 3-PLAY PROGRAM CHARMING, HAD VARIETY THOUGH
CROWD SMALL
Tulane University Theatre gave a characteristically enthusiastic production
to its three-play program of Friday and Saturday nights.
The most striking aspect of the presentation proved to be^the imaginative
sets, particularly those for "Moonshine" and "The Valiant."
Charles Hinrichs' set for "Moonshine" created the atmosphere of a
mountaineer's cabin effectively with an outline back and a few typical
props.
The main charm of the plays lay in their variety. There was "The Valiant,"
a tense thing concerning a man's last hours before execution; "Moonshine,"
a short farcial - piece; and Chekhov's "The Boor," a boots and beards
Russian costume play. But the program could have been more wisely staged
in the intimacy of the smaller theatre workshop. Lines were frequently
obscured by a hollow ring in the Dixon auditorium. Unfortunately the au-dience
was so scattered that it could easily have been fitted into a smaller
house.
The cast of "The Valiant" was the smoothest. BUI Remington, Charles
Gray, and William Hatten are players of a good deal more experience
than members of the other two casts. While I don't think a heavy part is
exactly Hatten's meat, he did very well by it.
Byron Sigler and Bruce MacArthur took the only two parts in "Moon-shine."-
The latter made an amusing effort in the dialect role of the gang-ling
mountaineer. Ed Chadick played the boor in "The Boor" like a bear.
He attacked the part with a youthful vim that was sometimes ear-shattering.
The play capitalized on the disparity of height between Chadick's boor
and Louis Rosner as the scurrying servant.
Oh, Bill, your etchings Queer looking—picture
terror!
TUT CAST HAS A JOLLY TIME ROMPING THRU
"CANDLELIGHT"
The Tulane University Theatre players bounced through a bit of froth
called "Candlelight" last Friday night, apparently having as [oily a time
as did the audience. The "half-arena" staging blotted out the footlight
line between audience and actors, creating such intimacy that spectators
were tempted to enter right into the play.
This piece of nonsense by Siegfrid Geyer runs in the tried-and-trusty mis-taken
identity formula. A double switch here finds the Prince Rudolf and
his latest Baroness serving her maid Marie and his valet Josef. The
humor, aside from the situation, is mainly in the fast give and take of
cracks like any radio comedy show.
Edward Baldwin was good as "the debonaire prince, William Hatten
better as Josef, and Al Shea best as a waiter. Hatten, as the valet who
was "prince for a night," lost none of his aplomb at a sticking exit door
in the first act; he saved it to lose at the spot in his role in which he is
discovered playing prince by the real Rudolf. But when Al Shea fluttered
on in the minute part of the waiter late in the play, his peculiar brand of
zanyness set off the most laughs of the night.
I am sure that the women in the play do more convincing acting on
their Saturday night dates. But Alice Kock as Marie, Jodie Von Ehren, the
Baroness, and Lynn Dorsen, Liserl, are handsome one and all, and more
than adequately filled a series of handsome gowns, which is enough for the
purposes of this play.

The Tulane Alumni Association is a national organization which
has become1 a salient factor in the progress of one of the South's
oldest and qreatesf universities. Through it each alumnus is given
an opportunity to serve and assist in the progress of the Univer-sity.
There are no membership dues, and all students upon leaving
the University are entitled to membership in the Alumni Associa-tion.
Records are kept on the activities of all alumni and efforts
are made at ali times to keep in contact with the former students.
One means of achieving this is through the medium of the
"Tulanian," alumni publication which contains news of the Univer-sity
and alumni. This magazine is sent to all graduates and former
students for whom the office has correct mailing addresses.
A representative from the Association welcomes each graduating
class at Commencement. Active local alumni clubs have been or-ganized
in many parts of the United States and elsewhere.
Each year the alumni sponsors Homecoming, a celebration which
brings many grads back to the campus for reunions and other activ-ities.
On May tenth, the birthdate of Paui Tulane, alumni meetings
are held throughout the country and a memorial service is held in
Princeton, New Jersey.
The Tulane Alumni Fund, Organized four years ago, Is conducted
by Class Agents and other representatives of the Association. The
Fund has grown each year and is now of real value to the Univer-sity's
financial program.

The "SFLCU," composed of some 30,000 students in
the student bodies of eight member colleges throughout
Louisiana, was organized about a year ago at a constitu-tional
convention attended and originated by the student
body representatives from Tulane, Northwestern State
College, LSU and Southeastern Louisiana College.
Below: If it's free, he'll be there every time
Bottom: So if Russia Will . . .
With a purpose of bringing the students of Louisiana
institutions of higher education into closer contact and
cooperation, the Federation functions through sub-com-mittees
on publications, loan funds, academic freedom,
instruction evaluation, and many other areas of student
life.
Headed by an Executive Committee composed of the
four executive officers and one representative from each
member school, the Federation has within its first year
of operation made its influence known and felt by the
public of the state.
Two general conventions are held each school year,
attended by three delegates, three alternates and a
greater but varying number of observers from each mem-ber
school. These conventions are the clearing house for
all Federation business. Here new projects are intro-duced,
committee and sub-committee reports are heard
and debated on the floor of the assembly, and plans are
made for future activity.

Founded at New York University, School of Commerce, Ac-counts
and Finance, on November 7, 1907, Delta Sigma Pi is a
professional fraternity organized to foster the study of business
in universities; to encourage scholarship, social activity and the
association of students for their mutual advancement by research
and practice; to promote closer affiliation between the commercial
world and students of commerce; and to further a high standard of
commercial ethics and culture, and the civic and commercial wel-fare
of the community.
Gamma Mu Chapter at Tulane was founded by Paul F. Dastugue,
Jr. and installed on December 4, 1949. With bi-weekly business
meetings, the Tulane chapter sponsors regular luncheons and din-ners
with prominent speakers from the New Orleans business
world, industrial tours, and an annual Rose of Delta Sig presented
at the annual Masguerade Ball in celebration of Mardi Gras.
Delta Sigma Pi is also active in special research projects and any
school sponsored activities. It also sponsors a semi-annual Com-merce
Queen who is presented with a gold loving cup at the semi-annual
Commerce Dance.

The Council is the governing body of the eleven sororities on New-comb's
campus: it is composed of two representatives from each soror-ity.
Sorority Skit Night again was outstanding on the entertainment pro-gram.
The talent and ideas originated within each sorority and were most
cleverly presented much to the pleasure of the entire University. A cup
was awarded to Beta Sigma Omicron, the sorority which produced the
best skit.
During second semester the annual Scholarship Banquet was held honor-ing

DELTA
PI
On November 10, 1904 Epsilon chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was installed at Newcomb College. It is the oldest of womens secret
sororities. On May 15, I 85 I , a group of women gathered together at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia with the hope of estab-lishing
an organization of high ideals and standards. From this common interest grew Alpha Delta Pi.
Epsilon chapter has been "fine in forty-nine," and fifty has been a booming year also. The year began with a weekly open house
at the sorority rooms preceding each home football game. One Sunday, bright and early, the ADH's and their dates took off to
Gulfport for an all day picnic which proved to be a lot of fun for all. The Winter formal was one of the first and best of the year.
The social calendar was well filled with barbecues, weiner roasts, and other gay affairs.
The BWOC's in the chapter include Jackie Vizzinni, cheerleader, and Marilyn Woodward, President of the Newcomb Glee Club.
We were active in TUT productions as well as other organizations on the campus.

However, Chi Omega is equally proud of its members today as it was of its charter members fifty years ago. The Chi O's are
well represented in the Student Council, Dormitory Council, Honor Board, and class officers. They also take an active part in campus
clubs such as the Glee Club, A Cappella Choir, swimming club, and Beta Beta Beta. Several have made the Dean's List, and two.
members are represented in Who's Who.
As for social activities, the Chi O's enjoy bi-monthly suppers in their newly decorated rooms, parties given by the alumnae and:

GAMMA
Our new school year started off with the usual trials and worries of Orientation and Rush Week, but as usual Kappa survived
with unexpected success. We were very pleased to have pledged a wonderful group of girls. Thus far, our forty-fifth year on
campus was in our favor and it continued to be so.
The Mother's Club kept us well fed every Wednesday and the girls enjoyed the opportunity of being with each other. The so-cial
calendar was filled for the year by the formal in April, a picnic in the fall at Tinky Thibaut's plantation home, Madewood, the
Beta Omicron Founders Day banquet was held on May 15 at the Country Club. This year we also had a wonderful house party
with our sisters from L.S.U. in spite of the great school rivalry.
We are proud of the enthusiasm that the Kappas have shown in campus activities. We hope they will continue to do so in the
years to come. The names of Lanier Allingham, Renee Aubrey, "Issie" Gardner, and Tinky Thibaut are familiar to many a New-comb
student.
Our colors are the two blues, light and dark; the pin is the little golden key. Beta Omicron chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma
was installed at Newcomb on May I I, 1904.

KAPPA
ALPHA
THETA
Kappa Alpha The+a was founded at Indiana Asbury College (DePauw University) in 1870. It was the first fraternity for women to
bear a Greek letter name. The colors are black and gold, and its flower is the pansy. One of its sixty-seven chapters, Alpha Phi,
was established at Newcomb on May 16, 1914.
Rush season was very successful. It was followed by a rip-roaring houseparty on the Gulf Coast. In November Thanksgiving bas-kets
were filled, and the annual Katsup Party was given by the pledges. The theme of the affair was a "Pauper Party," but never-theless,
the members were well-fed. The wonderful Theta mothers entertained with a supper for the members and dates in Decem-ber.
Alpha Phi also played Santa Claus for the orphans with a party. In March the gay whirl was climaxed by the spring formal.
Among our most outstanding girls is Dodie Brisbi, chapter president, who was elected a Campus Favorite last year. Susie Smith
has her share of honors. She is president of the Athletic Association, and elected to Who's Who. Phalie Evans is Newcomb editor
of the "Surf," and Babs Bartlett, a pledge, was elected secretary of the freshman class.

PHI
Founded in 1852 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, Phi Mu is the second oldest sorority in the country. Delta chapter
came to Newcomb in 1906. The flower is the Enchantress carnation and the colors are rose and white.
Highlights of the year included the re-decoration of the rooms, the flapper rush party; complete with style show and "flapper
flashbacks," the football game with the Thetas, the University Chest Carnival in which we won the cup for the most novel booth
and collected the second largest amount of money. Of course, the annual winter formal was the biggest occasion for all of us.
In the campus limelight were Gayle Mackenroth, Maid in Saint Patricia's Court; and Shirley Haddock, who was selected as one
of the Pledge Pinups.

PHI
Pi Beta Phi was founded at Monmouth College and dates back to 1867. The Louisiana Alpha chapter was founded at Newcomb
in 1891. Pi Phi's colors are wine and silver blue; the flower is the white carnation.
Louisiana Alpha is well represented in Campus activities. The Pi Phi's have a hand in nearly every organization on campus. Pi
Phi is proud of the school officers in the chapter, such as Kitten McGee, President of the Resident Student Body and Queen of
the Homecoming Court, Elizabeth Cook, Treasurer of the Student Body and elected to Who's Who, Pineapple Williamson, of
Lagniappes, Joel Wolfe, President of the Swimming Club, as they are of the "Beauties," such as Scootie Day, Sue Storrs, Marion
Andrus, and Violet Whitehead.
Before rush week this year, the Mother's Club and the active chapter got together and the Pi Phi house was completely redone.
Lots of soap and water, new paint, new curtains and a coke machine completed the transformation. After rush week there was a
banquet at Arnaud's for pledges, actives, and alumni; before the holidays, a big Christmas party complete with carols and Santa
Claus; in February, our Founder's day banquet; and in April, climaxing the year, our spring formal.
The officers are: Norma Lewis, President; Effie Stockton, Vice-President; Barbara Bizzell, Corresponding Secretary; Helen Ann

Zeta Tau Alpha was founded at Virginia State Normal College, Farmville, Virginia, on October 15, 1898, 1 he first woman's fraternity to be chartered by
a special act of the leqisiature. Beta Kappa chapter was established at Newcomb College in 1927.
Since that time the members of Beta -Kappa have taken an active part in all phases of campus life. Among the outstanding Zetas are: Norma Clesi,
President of the Newcomb Pan-Hellenic Council; Ruby Crosby, President of the School of Social Work, a Jamb "beauty," and a member of the Home-coming
Court; Virginia Provost, member of Phi Sigma lota and vice-president of La Tertuiia; Debby Berry, Treasurer of La Tertulia. Zeta also has its
share of active members in other campus organizations.
Beta Kappa also had the distinction of having the highest scholastic average of all sororities on campus both semesters last year. Helping to achieve
this honor was Anna Frances Jones, Phi Beta Kappa.
A busy social calendar included the Founders' Day banquet, Spring Formal, Christmas Party, and a Barn Dance, as well as numerous coke parties and
suppers in the rooms.
Zeta Tau Alpha's colors are turquoise blue and steel gray; its flower is the white violet.
The officers are: Saliy James, President; Deborah Berry, Vice-President; Margaret Spengler, Secretary; Virginia, Treasurer; Hildred Runion, Historian.

The Tulane Pan-Hellenic Council serves as a governing board for the
seventeen fraternities on the campus.
Guided by Dr. Karlem Riess, as faculty advisor, the Council again su-pervised
the keen scholastic and athletic competition for the coveted
Pan-Hellenic Trophy.
In addition to the social highlight of the annual Pan-Hellenic formal, the
fraternities through the Council, gives an annual fellowship awarded to a
worthy student for graduate work in medicine.
The Council consists of the Judicial Committee, composed of Leonard
Bagleman (S A M), Robert Boudreau (S A E), C. Bayless Conley (Phi
Delta Theta), and Alfred Lewis (D K E), and the Athletic Committee com-posed
of David Conroy (A T O), Voss Cooksey (K A), Jack Lohman (Phi

OMEGA
Alpha Tau Omega was founded at the Virginia Military Institute in 1865, and in 1887, Louisiana Beta Chapter was founded at
Tulane. The fraternity colors are Old Gold and White, and the fraternity flower is the White Tea Rose.
David Conroy is boss of the outfit with the title of "Worthy Master"; Worthy Keeper of Exchequer is Jim Humphreys (he is
always bothering someone for money); Gordon Collins takes the minutes at the meetings; Art Naquin is the Veep, Don Luden-bacher
is Usher, and Marshall Blanchard is Sentinel.
The ATO's are most notoriously noted for their "Sneaky Pete Partie's" along with many other things. Any casual passerby will
no doubt be shocked by the delicate songs being wafted through the open windows on Saturday nights, and the delicate merr;-
bers waifted through the doors.

The Betas, long known as the "Hungry Greeks" because of that wolf-like look they acquire while staring at the Newcomb girls in
the nearby sorority rooms, enjoyed a highly successful year, this, their forty-first year on Tulane's campus.
The chapter was led this year by the capable efforts of John "Dewey" Jackson, who was assisted in his job by "Ole Man" Rivers
LeLong.
In the social department, there were many varied parties, but it was generally agreed by all the brothers that the high point of
the social season was the "Blue and White" Formal, which was held at the Country Club shortly before the end of the first semes-ter.
There have been some changes around the house that have added materially to the comfort and enjoyment of the members,
among them a redecorating job and addition of a cook and meal manager.

Born at Yale University in 1844, the old Deke Lion rambled south to leave its mark on the Tulane campus in 1899. (The campus
never quite recovered.)
As sleepless neighbors can attest, the Dekes are famous for their favorite pastime of roaming up and down Henry Clay Avenue
at all hours singing their "Phi Marching Song." No party ends without a lusty rendition shouted at the top of the "Bonded Broth-ers'
" voices.
Other activities range from Phi Beta Kappas (Dunbar) and Presidents of ODK (Weinmann) to drinking all of Rod's beer as fast
as he can ice it.
Tommy Ellis wields the gavel, and is ably assisted in his duties by "Cavalier" Dunbar. Warren Gardner records the meetings
and Jack Weinmann collects what the boys can spare from their French Quarter budget.

was chartered on the campus of the Tulane University of Louisiana March I I, 1916. The fraternity colors are nile green and white,
and the official flower is the white carnation.
Guiding the destinies of the fraternity this year are Joe Miceli, president, and his colleagues C. B. Brewster, in charge of the
parties and athletics; "Coot" Davis, who instructs the pledges; and the co-keepers of the excheguer, Don Muller and Camille Cut-rone.
The man who writes the letters is Oliver Dabezies, whil Bob Collins dishes out the fines. Emile Kraft is the chaplain, and
Jerry M. Honeycutt handles the publicity.
The Delta Sig Bayou Brawl is something of a fixture around Tulane, and never fails to excite gay spirits (or vice versa). Other
annual features are the indescribable Sailor's Ball and the Winter .Formal. Another source of merriment this year was the huge
banquet in observation of Delta Sig's 50th birthday.

The Delta Tau Delta fraternity was founded in 1858 at Bethany College. Their colors are purple, white, and gold; their flower is
the iris. This chapter began its sixtieth year on the Tulane campus by pledging 24 men. The more memorable rush-season soirees
were the "Vive La France" party and the Beta Xi-clone brawl, which featured the inimitable Beta Xi-clone brew made in an asbestos-lined
crock.
Another highlight of the social season was the Delt Inferno party. Over 400 guests swarmed into the Audubon Street shelter to
hear Papa Celestine's jazz. The annual orphan-benefit Christmas party, the Winter Formal at the New Orleans Country Club, and
the "Uptown Strutters Brawl" were also definite successes.
The fall semester saw the Delts place in 3 of the first 4 Pan-Hellenic activities, including the Homecoming Decorations event.
Delt's prizewinning display was the brain-child of Hullabaloo cartoonist, Tom Beal.

Sigma Chapter of Kappa Nu began its year in another new house—this one, the column-fronted 1013 Broadway. After a hectic
period of preparation, the school year began with the usual round of rush parties. As spirit waxed and waned during the football
season, the chapter managed to maintain a fairly high level of ardor with a series of weekend parties, entertainment for which was
supplied by everything from wandering minstrels to highly original skits by members of the pledge class. Stags, hayrides, and barbe-cues
rounded out the social schedule.
We look back with pride to another Kappa Nu first in March when, after a cocktail party at the Gold Room, members dates,
alumni and guests danced to Lloyd Alexander's music in the Grand Ballroom of the Roosevelt.
As for vital statistics: Kappa Nu was founded at Rochester University in 1911; Sigma at Tulane in 1922. The fraternity's colors
are purple and white and the flowers are appropriately orchid and gardenia. Saul Schneider, Hal Breslow, Nat Hart, Aaron Buchs-baum,
and David Levine govern the group with timely interference from such old hands as Leonard Fuhrer and Warren Eisner. Gene

eminence in Pan Hel Athletics. These boys carried the banner of the Blue and White this year in nearly all sports.

PI KAPPA ALPHA was founded at the University of Virginia in I 868. Eta was founded at Tulane in I 878.
First semester of the 1949-50 school year at Tulane saw James Snediger commanding the Presidency with Jack Cadzow holding
the money and Bobby Slen Smith taking the minutes.
Second semester Carl Kline took over the gavel and was very ably assisted by Hardy Davis as Treasurer and Gil Morgan as Sec-retary.
In every manner Eta enjoyed one of it's most successful years. With plenty to drink, beaucoupe' femmes, and an abundance
of pledges, social life was fantastic. The parties started early at the Pike house and ended late in the French Quarter. Such annual
affairs as the Pledge-Active party, the Dream Girl Formal, and the inimitable Fais-Do Do were even more stupendous than ever
before.

SIGMA
ALPHA
EPSILON
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded at the University of Alabama on March 9, 1856. The Fraternity is symbolized by the Lion and
the Goddess Minerva; its colors are purple and gold; its flower is the violet.
Louisiana Tau-Upsilon of SAE began its fifty-second year on the Tulane campus this fall by pledging twenty-one men. The chap-ter
quickly entered into the spirit of the football season, and emerged with the Homecoming Decoration First-Place Award, which
was presented to the chapter at the annual meeting of the Tulane Alumni Association. Regular Saturday afternoon and night
parties marked the fall season, which ended with the annual Christmas party and a serenade to the Newcomb dormitory girls.
After the Christmas holidays the parties were continued, climaxed by the Founder's Day Banquet and Formal Dance, at the
Grand Ballroom of the Roosevelt Hotel, on March 4, 1949. These events were in conjunction with the biennial Province Theta
Convention, at which this chapter was host.
The officers are: Robert J. Boudreau, President; James B. Collins, Vice-President; Thomas S. Farmer, Recorder; D. Ryan Sartor,
Jr., Treasurer; Philip B. Watson, Jr., Correspondent; Kenneth A. Langguth, Chronicler; James H. Kennedy, Herald; Jack Newman,

SIGMA
ALPHA
Without a shadow of a doubt, this has been Sigma Alpha Mu's best year since its establishment on the Tulane campus thirty
years ago. Even before school began, the chapter bought a house, the first one it has ever owned, and by the beginning of school,
the house was in shape to accommodate sixteen men.
_
The high point of the social season was the thirtieth annual Orchid Formal, which was held in conjunction with a regional conven-tion
of the southeastern chapters of the fraternity. In addition to this traditionally excellent affair, the chapter threw many other
parties during the year, none of which will be forgotten by those who were there. Sammies' social reputation was further enhanced
by several open house receptions, the Mardi Gras Truck ride and the annual spring banquet.
The chapter gave a fine account of itself in campus activities too: pan-hellenic sports, homecoming, the community chest drive,
song fest, skit night and surprisingly enough, it even gave a good showing in the scholastic average.
Under the capable leadership of its prior, Mort Madoff, Sigma Gamma of Sigma Alpha Mu has reached its highest pinnacle of
success thus far, and every indication is toward a bigger and better future.

SIGMA
CHI
Yes Sir, the year 49-50 was a great one for Sigma Chi.
This year we won the Intramural and Pan-Mural softball trophy with Reed pitching two no-hit games. Also one of the Sig's old
traditions was initiated at Tulane, the Sigma Chi Derby. This attracted more attention on the campus than any other single func-tion.
The very beautiful Joyce Bruff was the Sweetheart.
The Sigs don't have officers like everybody else. They have a Consul who was Tom Habig. The Pro-Consul was Tom Pitcher (al-ways
knew he was a pro at something.) Livingstone de Lancey was Annotator, what ever that is, and Richmond Galbreath was the
Quaestor. They had several more but they get more ridiculous as they go along.
High spots of the year were the Sweetheart Dance, the L.S.U. Game party and the New Year's Eve Party.

Zeta Beta Tau was founded at the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1898, and in 1909, the Sigma Chapter at Tulane was installed.
The fraternity colors are Blue, White, and Gold, and the flower is the white rose.
Guiding stars of the Sigma Chapter are Herbert Abraham; with Leo Roos acting as Vice-President; Buddy Lazarov jotted down
the chapter's functions for posterity and future ZBT'S; Norman Davidson did the thankless task of recording debits and credits;
Jerry Edelstein compiled the chapter's history and edited the "Sigmature;" Tony Lowe acted as Steward and Corresponding Secre-tary;
and Leonard Stern "educated" the pledges.
Among the social events on the Zebe calender were the Winter Formal, a truck ride to Covington to meet their L.S.U. brothers,
and the usual aggregation of parties during the year.

The Ps: chapter of Phi Lambda Kappa
Medical Fraternity was established on the
Tulane Campus in 1910 three years after
the fraternity was founded at the Univer-sity
of Pennsylvania.
The main activities of the chapter were
divided into two main categories: social
and educational. On the social sic'e of the
balance sheet, PLK had the usual number
of the normal parties, picnics and stag
brawls. On the more staid and educa-tional
level, the chapter had several excel-lent
lecture meetings, which were so suc-cessful
that prospects seem quite bright
for the establishment of an annual lecture-ship.

Nu Sigma Nu was founded at the University of Michigan in 1882, and
the Beta lota Chapter was established at Tulane in 1910. The Chapter's
beautiful and ample house is conveniently located on St. Charles Ave-nue
and is the scene of freguent and memorable parties.
Its chief sources of pride are its excellent library and the annual Rudolph
Matas Lectureship. The latter, established in 1947, has thus far sponsored
lectures by the eminent Doctors Alfred Blalock and William Menninger

PHI
CHI
Phi Chi was founded at the University of Vermont in
1889, and the Omicron Chapter was instituted at Tulane
in 1902. Fraternity activities are centered at the beau-tiful
Chapter house on St. Charles Avenue. One of the
Chapter's primary projects for the year has been the
further expansion of its C. Jeff Miller Memorial Library,
one of the most complete privately-owned medical li-braries
in the city.
Presiding Senior Bob Ivy keeps fraternity activities run-ning
smoothly, with Ted Votteler assisting as Presiding
Junior; Larry McGee makes appropriate use of the
stamps and stationery purchased by John Shriner. In
student affairs, Tom Davis serves as Vice-President of the
Tulane University Student Body. Tom also fills the office
of President of the Medical School Student Body, with
Jack Ely, Dick Pierce, and Hank Post filling out the panel
of supporting officers.

Alpha Kappa Kappa Medical fraternity
was founded at Dartmouth College in
1888. Alpha Beta Chapter was instituted
at Tulane in 1903, as the successor to Zeta
Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi. During the war
years the chapter suffered severely, both
from the loss of its house and from the
loss of many local alumni to the armed
services.
In 1947, Alpha Beta was completely
reorganized, and established in a new house
located on St. Charles Avenue, midway
between the tv/o campuses. Since that time
the chapter has grown rapidly in size and
•strength, and may be expected to resume
its place of prominence among the medical
fraternities on the Tulane campus.

The Newcomb Dance Club, which was officially founded in 1940, has progressed steadily through
the years under the enthusiastic direction of Miss Frances Bush.
This year, in order to promote interest in this Club, the membership was divided into two groups,
The Coryphees and the Ballerinas. The Ballerinas were the original members of the Club, and the
new members, taken in by try-outs, formed a Coryphee group. During the past year Coryphees who
improved their ability and showed cooperation were admitted to the Ballerina group. This plan has
worked successfully and will be continued along these lines.
The annual spring recital for this year included an original selection; music by Miss Ydeen Francis,
a member of the Newcomb Music School, and choreography by the members of the Dance Ciub.
Also included on the program was Smetena's Moldau and divertissements in which all members of
the Dance Club participated.

Newcomb Athletic Association, which is divided into four leagues—Dixon, Gibson, Howard, and Norman. Through
the four leagues, intramural competition both team sports and individual sports are conducted.
Governing the_ Athletic Association is the Newcomb Athletfc Council. On the Council are representatives from
each class, presidents of the Swimming, the Dance, and the Tennis Clubs, chairmen of the three major sports,
and chairmenof the four leagues. Under the guidance of Athletic Council, intramural tournaments are organized,
and the gym is opened for recreational purposes.
No member of the Athletic Association need feel that her efforts are futile in competitions for the various
awards are conferred not only far skill but also for enlhusiasm and participation. For league victories trophies are
awarded. Individual tournament winners sport gold keys. A felt "N," a silver "N" pin, and a blazer jacket with
the seal of Newcomb are presented to those girls who have the required points—compiled from all athletic
participation.

Lagniappes, the Student Dance Organization, started off the year in a bang- up fashion. The Annual Freshman
Dance, held this year as always at the Gymnasium, was a huge success. Begun with the idea of having Tulane
end Newcomb Frosh come and meet at a dance, the venture has proven to be very enjoyable for everyone
—
including the Freshmen. This year the floor was packed with the boys outnumbering the gals three to one
which made it even better as far as the girls were concerned. Of course the fact that it was held the night
of the opening football game, and the fact that we won, helped to bring out the large attendance.
The Annual Homecoming Dance, held at the Municipal Auditorium, to celebrate Homecoming was likewise
a smash. Charlie Spivak and his well known orchestra provided the best all around danceable music heard down
this way in many an eon. The presentation of the Homecoming Queen and her Court was a highlight as in
the past. Air-conditioning and "requestioning" of more tables made this Homecoming Dance the best in
the past three years.
The organ lovers!

The Tulane-Newcomb Mathematics Club, organized in 1940, meets every month to consider topics
related to mathematics. Informal talks, on subjects not covered in classroom work, form the main
portion of the program; these are often followed by discussion of mathematical topics. Refreshments
and a social get-together usually concludes the meeting.
Membership in the Math Club is open to all University students interested in mathematics.
Each year the club gives a prize which is very coveted among Tuiane's mathematicians. This award,
known as the Math Club Prize, is given for the most interesting and original talk given by a student
on contemporary mathematics.
