LISTEn, mV CHILDRCn . . . GATHER
'ROUnO, R STORV VOU SHOULD HEAR;
A tale of thiiiss I saw and did
While at Tulane one vear.
While flying over New Orleans
My feathered tail was hit;
The time was back in '51,
I never shall forget.
Some greenie's shot had found its mark,
Controls got out of hand;
So, perched atop Dinwiddy Hall
I surveyed all the land.
MkHi.
The sfudenf center was down fhere,
Calling bacic to my mind;
All my many college friendships;
Tie^ thai the years will bind
I walked past a red brick building
Where memories would lurk
Reminding me of college^^days;
The kids in social work.
I looked toward another building,
My thoughts turned back the years;
To other +im.ei I'd stood before
Tho school of engineer';
I was an "on-the-spot" witness,
And here, I'll take my stand;
That Tilton Law Building puts out
The best lawyers in our land.
Wanting to fly over Tulane,
Once, before I'd depart,
Richardson Building came Into view;
Surely, here was my heart.
The business end of our nation,
Caued me to stop and stare;
At hundreds who were studying
Commerce—in Norman Mayer.
!^inG THROUGH THE flTmOSPHERE That day .... to look arour
I felt a new Tulane spirit
Enveloped eaifiplRrground
Pep rallies at McAllister,
Joined with shirt-tail parades
Virginia and Ole' Miss bonfires
Lighted the shadows and shades.
I spotted Tilton Library,
Thoughts went back to tarry
On times I'd had to study here;
Books I'd had to carry.
Up to the clouds the voices came
Loud with vigor and vim;
This was the spirit of Tulane
Working out In the gym.
I clapped my wings when I beheld
Future filled with promise;
Npw architects and engineers
Pflssed from Stanley Thomas.
My gaie then fixed on one building,
(Here physics notes were read);
Memories walked through these hallways
Where many more shall tread.
A big black cloud rose in the sky,
I stopped so I could see;
Some student had exploited the
Theory of chemistry.
Flying o'er the athletic dorm.
On "T" formation beam;
I proudly dipped a wing to say.
Hi, Green Wave football team.
Standing rar off in the distance,
Past the houses and trees;
Stood Hutchinson Memorial
—
Symbolic of M.D.'s.
In every organization.
One thing's behind it all
—
I found the heart of a campus
Beating in Newcomb Hall.
Two teams met on the Green Wave field,
And, though I hate to brag;
Along with their mascot; L.S.U.
Vied for—and lost—"The Rag."
Four boys went out for a "coon-hunt,"
(They hadn't far to hike).
When they found game, not coon, oh, no-
Better!! L.S.U.'s "Mike."
Sandburg spoke from McAllister,
And, though he had great form;
My thoughts trailed off in ecstacy
Over the new men's Dorm.
Countless have passed through our portals
And, though their image fades,
Their hearts will always dwell among TULflHE'S
w.V
"Miss Football" was Renee Aubry,
(She went to Californ);
And Sarah, as "Miss Basketball,"
Almost completes this yarn.
The lights were dimmed, the curtains down,
Imagination tilled each age;
The applause brought forth more curtain-calls
Drama had found our stage.
"Tulane at Mid-Century" was
Carried out every Inch,
In a Homecoming theme set off
By our queen Sara French.
The barkers yelled to sell their wares
Gaiety knew no bounds;
Tulane soil was transformed Into
Campus Carnival grounds.

Behind our school stands a famfliar figure; changeable in
outward appearance, but, in spirit, as inrimovable as the
Statue of Liberty. She is Tulane's own Mrs. Buckner Chipley,
who can be found in the student center every day from
nine to five. Here she is known as "Chip" to the hundreds
of boys and girls who come to her with their personal prob-lems,
love affairs, and friendships. Along with planning their
parties, she encourages tournaments of all sorts, for she is
a staunch believer in the great American spirit—the spirit
of contest. Though she has traveled a great deal through
Housemother of the University
Hostess of the University
Europe, South and Central America, she prefers to stay
here at Tulane indefinitely. To her, the students are the most
important persons of the school, and she not only gives
them her time—but her heart.
Mrs. Chipley is of a generation-old New Orleans family,
and is not the first of her family to win the acclaim of
Tulane. In 1914, her brother edited the JAMBALAYA, and
in 1 937, her son was also editor of the yearbook.
With a heartfelt interest and understanding of others,
she is an ember, igniting a hidden spark of ambition or hap-piness
somewhere within us. So It is with greatest pride that
the staff dedicates the 1951 JAMBALAYA to Mrs. Buckner
Chipley.

. The Tulane Alumni Association is a national organization
which has become a salient factor in the progress of one of
the South's oldest and greatest universities. Through It each
alumnus is given an opportunity to serve and assist in the
progress of the University. There are no membership dues,
and all students upon leaving the University are entitled to
membership in the Alumni Association. Records are kept
on the activities of all alumni and efforts are being made
at all 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 new.s of the
University and alumni. This magazine Is sent to all grad-uates
and former students for whom the office has correct
mailing addresses.
A representative from the Association welcomeis each
graduating class at Commencement. Active local alumni
clubs have been organized in many parts of the United
States and elsewhere.
Each year the Association sponsors hHomecoming, a cel-ebration
which brings many grads back to the campus for
reunions and other activities. On May tenth, the birthday
of Paul Tulane, alumni meetings are held throughout the
country and a memorial service is held In Princeton, New
Jersey.
The Tulane Alumni Fund, organized five years ago, is
conducted by Class Agents and other representatives of
the As'soclatlon. The Fund has grown each year and is now
of real value to the University's financial program.

Newcomb's National Alumnae Association is composed
of graduates and former students of the college. Our
Alumnae office is in the Newcomb Gymnasium building.
We keep a complete file of up-to-date addresses of alum-nae.
Each class has a New Orleans Alumnae chairman who
is the contact for her classmates with the Association.
Every alumnae in New Orleans is eligible for member-ship
in the New Orleans Club, which is one of the many
clubs in the country that make up the National Association.
They are kept posted of the Association workings and
take an active part in its drives and projects.
Each year the Association sponsons a project for each
of the undergraduate classes. This year we will have the
Seniors come to the Alumnae banquet during Commence-ment
week. For the Juniors and Sophomores we offered
Career talks by some of our outstanding alumnae, and for
our Freshmen, a dance with the cooperation of the Tulane
Alumni was given after one of the first football games In
the Student Center.
The Alumnae meet on the campus twice a year for
Memorial Services in December and April. There are two
National Association meetings annually—one the morning
of hlomecoming and the other during Commencement
week In June. Our alumnae come back to their alma mater
at this time and renew their cherished college day associa-tions.

Alpha Phi Omega is on organization whose pur-pose
is vo assemble men in 'ihe fellowship of ^he
Scout Oath and Law, and to provide a means by
which college men might continue io carry on in
the tradition of "Ihe Boy Scouts of America.
Every year it is ihe custom of Gamma Upsilon,
the Tulane chapter of APO, "lo render service :o
the community, 'ihe university, and ;he itudent
body, through a program of planned activities.
The chapter this year assisted in Freshman Orienta-tion
Week, ushered ilt various university functions,
held Paul Tuiane Day. and staged ihe annual
Kampus Karnival. which netted just under Ij400 for
charity. The local group also played host io ihe
State Conclave of the fraternity. On ihe lighter
side, Alpha Phi Omega put on ihe hilarious Ugly
Mug contest, through which ihe ugliest man on
the Tulane campus is selected!
It is easy io see ihat APO is not an organization
for ihose who desire personal recognition, but
rather, ihe group tends io play up ihe value of
teamwork and stresses ihe fact ihat irue personal
satisfaction can be had by helping others.

PAS plays an Important part in ihe orientation
of foreign students and in ihe Latin-American
relations of Tulane University and ihe City of
New Orleans. Membership In ihe Society Is
open to all bona-fide students of Tulane and
faculty members.

Lagniappes gave the students more dances and
stomps In the past year than have been enjoyed
on this campus in many moons. The Freshman
Dance, which started the year, packed ihe gym.
Here many friendships received their start and
many little black books received additional phone
numbers.
At the Homecoming Dance all of us enloyed the
music of Hal Mclntyre. His sweet dancable music
coupled with the presentation of a lovely court
made it an enjoyable evening. In addition. Lagni-appes
sponsored a large Spring Dance, a square
dance In the gym, and student stomps which were
held every other Friday.
It Is the hope of the members of this organ-ization
ihat ihese dances will provide a medium
by which students mav become better acquainted.
thus tending to form a more closely knit and better
spirited student body.

Realizing the Importance of a knowledge of
ou.r country's international affairs, and feeling
a need of a systematic study of 'ihe problems
which are constantly confronting the American
people, the Tulane International Relations Club
was formed for the purpose of 5tudylng_ and
discussing these national and international
events and Issues which are daily transpiring
within and without our" national borders and
which vitally concern our Ame-Ican life. It is
the intention of the club io deal with all ques-tions
and topics In an impartial manner, _ al-ways
endeavoring to search out and appreciate
the truth of each situation under Investigation,
It is the IRC's ambition to maintain a broad-mindedness
and a fair judgment In discussing
our national and International problems, and
Ihus better fit ourselves, as college men and
women, io take an intelligent and effective
part In (o.-wardlng the Interests of our country
and our several communities.
In order vo carry out ihese intentions ^o *he
fullest extent and in ihe most expeditious man-ner,
ihe IRC this year has sponsored a number
of nationally and iniernationaliy known speak-ers
who have spoken on such timely topics as
France and Indo-Chlna, New Orleans .ind
World Trade, British Socialism. The United
Nations, and Spain Under Franco. Also, some
very excellent movies were shown, and _1he
biggest highlight of ihe year was the United
Nations Day Banquet.

Adelphons is an interfraternity fraternity, founded
at Tulane University in 1949 to promote inter-fraternity
relations and spirit, to further coopera-tion
between the University and the Greek Letter
organizations and to serve the school.
By its very nature it accomplishes the first of these
objects since it is composed of members of the
social fraternities elected by the Adelphons. In this
group they work and relax together creating a bond
and a unity of nineteen fraternities which are rivals
in almost every other field. Meetings are held in
roundrobin fashion in the fraternity houses on the
campus, affording an opportunity to each fraternity
to meet and make new friends among the others.
The Adelphons -have represented the fraternity
world in such school functions as University Convo-cation.
At Christmas it served as a coordinating
body when many of the Greeks sought through the
purchase of presents and clothes to bring Christmas
into the homes of many needy families. At present
the Adelphons are sponsoring a move to publish
an interfraternity handbook to be sent out to all
incoming Freshmen. This is an effort to promote and
publicize the obiects and values of fraternities at
Tulane and by providing information to give a
better understanding of their worth.
In the line of social functions probably hte most
outstanding was the picnic given ai Vince Massimi-ni's
house in Slidell. It was there that most of the
members acquired their first sunburn of the year
while swimming and playing Softball.

Anything from Churchillian oratory to Im-promptu
"Give 'em hell" diatribe can be
heard in the chamber of the Glendy Burke
Literary and Debating Society. Generally the
latter though, fo.r if current political issues are
seldom solved in its Senate-like proceedings,
they are given a violent airing.
The Glendy Burke Society is the University's
representative for intercollegiate debate, and
it is around debating that most of the society's
activities center. Besides entertaining visiting
teams, often outstanding ones such as Oxford,
U. of California, and West Point, the society
sends Its varsity squad to week-end tourna-ments
and out on brief tours. Glendy Burke is
the pjace to acquire self-confidence in public
speaking, to hear book reviews on Important
political writings, to become a stickler for
parliamentary procedure, and to get chummy
with a crowd of future (and present) poli-ticians.
The society is freighted with traditions—one
being that no women are -allowed—but this Is
altogether to be expected, for, after all, as the
members do unanimously agree: the Glendy
Burke Society Is older than the University.

The staff has tried to present this 1951 JAMBALAYA in a different
manner than its predecessors with several changes from the standard run
of JAMBALAYA.
Recognizing the fact that the individual student is interested pri-marily
in his or her particular school the class sections have been ar-ranged
according to the separate Universities and Colleges comprising
Tulane University. In these separate sections have also been placed the
various organizations which are mainly participated in by the students
of that particular College. This has enabled us to eliminate a large and
sometimes dull organizations section.
With the belief that the full value of a college annual is not realized
until some time after a student's graduation we have made an attempt
to give the hometown addresses of all students whose names appear in
this book. We believe that this may be of value to a student in later life

who wishes to contact an old classmate but who has lost that classnnate'5
address. At least the home address as given in this book will give the
student a starting point for correspondence with old classmates.
Another point of interest in this book is the different sections devoted
to various activities such as Dramatics and Music, Religion. Dorm life,
etc. We feel that all these actvities play a very great part in any stu-dent's
college life and therefore should be remembered through his col-lege
annual.
Also in this book we have tried to give credit where credit is due.
Those students who have achieved outstanding success on the campus
have been duly recognized but at no time have we allowed just plain
old Joe College to be lost among the B.M.O.C.'s, favorites, wheels and
what have you. This book is designed for the average man in the class-rooms
and not for the boys in the extra-curriculum fields.

The "Hullabaloo" managed to break many records this
year. Principle among them were printing three editions
on one day and also having more issues burned than in
any previous yea'".
Conrad "Red" Smith was the power that was with Bert
Shrine holding forth over the business staff. Chief assistants
were Dick Hart, Elise Mitchell, Mary Krebs, Joe Crossley,
and Bob Zeleny. George Rigby, Don Carson, and Mary
Myers rounded out the ad and business staff.
All American Shep Pleasants led the sports department
uncapably assisted by Scoop Cohen, John Winn, and
anyone else who could be rooked into writing some sort
of sports story. Especially one about soccer.
. Also prominent in the "Hulla " office were the two col-umnists.
Jack Anderson, who always pleased the advertis-ers,
and Bob Leidenhelmer, the red blooded American
boy. Usually hiding in a corner until ten minutes before
their columns were due, they would crawl out and bang
frantically away at a typewriter for a few seconds. The re-sult
was generally just short of being libelous.
Still the "Hulla" staff continued its winning ways with
its stupenduous editorial page. The athletic office set up
an office In the gym; the cafeteria started using hot water,
and the engineers and lawyers wrote nasty letters.
Another feature was the hole In the head which resulted
from the Gorgeous Gertrude vs. Canada Don. Gorgeous
Gertrude put up a terrific struggle but Don was too much
for him.
But week after week the "Hullabaloo" marched on, or
perhaps a step back once In a whjje.

Seventy- five Tulane and Newcomb freshmen received their first sample of
Jev/ish Community campus life at Hillel's annual open house which inaugurated
our fourth and biggest year on this campus. The year was filled wUh varied activ-ities
including cultural, religious, community service, and other social affairs. One
of the headliners was a lecture series dealing with the problems of the individual,
presenl-ed by Professors Fogle and Lee of Newcomb and Silvert of lulane. Another
highlight was the Passover Seder which supplemented the weekly Friday night
services. Several of the heartier souls braved the elements for a fun-packed
Thanksgiving trip to Fontalnbleau State Pa'-k. In line with our community welfare
program we participated in the Campus Carnival for the University Chest Drive

This year found the Tulane Glee Club making its greatest stride toward a
very bright future. When Dr. McPeek took over the position of director of
this group, the future looked mighty dim. The club was disorganized and
small. Buh with a lot of hard work, the group has made this their bGnne"-
year. With their membership numbering in the eighties, the Glee Club found
it possible to make the first club trip since 1926. Setting out early in the
school year, they soent the weekend entertaining the women at Gulf Park
College with a s-i'all concert. By the middle of April, the club was off again
on a tour of Louisiana. They presented concerts in Lafayette. Opelusas, Lake
Charles, and Alexandria. The last stoo was their campus, Tulane.
Along with giving a con:ert at the Alumni dinner, during Homecoming,
the c:lub furnished hhe male leads and chorus for the yearly operetta and sang
for a Christmas party in the cafeteria. This long list of activities does nol
include, of course, innumerable impromptu serenades at the Newcomb dorms.
Yes, this .vas a grsat year for Tulane's Glee Club, and from he'^e on there
will be many, many more.
Officers are: Emily Xanfen, President; Betty Neville, Vice-President;
Mildred Lahasky, Secretary; Christine West, Publicity Manager;
Rey Zemmer, Business Manager.
Female students of the University who enjoy singing as a diversion
from classwork find the Newcomb Glee Club a means of combining
pleasure and skillful Instruction in choral work. Under the direction
of Dr. McPeek, this group boasted a successful year with participa-tion
In the Newcomb Christmas Memorial Service, Its annual Spring
Concert, and a two-day tour of Mississippi.
OPERETTA
This year's Gilbert and Sullivan production was the satire, "Pa-tience,"
a take-off on the aesthetlcism of Oscar Wilde and other
poets of 19th century England. The members of the Tulane and New-comb
Glee Clubs cooperated to play for enthusiastic audiences both
nights. Polly Jean Phelps was Patience and Warren Gadpallle was
Bunthorne.
Under the expert direction of Dr. McPeek and the fine enthusiastic
cooperation of the cast, this year's production turned out to be one
of the funniest, most successful operettas given at Tulane.

under the lively motto "Fun for all and all for fun." Its members frol-icked,
musically speaking, regularly once a week and, like jolly good
fellows, took an enlivening part in many a campus activity throughout
the year.
Among the events at which their lilting dischords were heard were
the Faculty hHomecomlng Dance and the Campus night show. In addi-tion
they played, reputedly by request, over several Radio Tulane

"CHIEF" JOHN J.
MORRISSEY
Marching to the tune of Its theme song "Way Down Yon-der,"
the Tulane Band began another successful .season when
it showed Alabama's "Million Dollar Band" our version of co-ordinated
marching and playing at the first football game of
the school year. Compared with the bands of Notre Dame,
Vanderbilt, and LSU, the Band demonstrated unusual ability
to put on an effective half-time show with a minimum of prac-tice
time. Yes, the band members use their valuable 'study
time in order to come together three hours every week to
play or to prepare formations for Saturday's game. The Band,
as contrasted with most other activities, Is really a fraternity
—
the members showing their school spirit in the beot way they
know.
The Band, of course. Is centered around its capable director,
John J. Morrlssey, without whose inspiration the Tulane Band
would not exist. Mr. Morrissey's national reputation as a com-poser
is well known. At its spring concert every year, the Con-cert
Band gives a first performance of one of his compositions.
Recent compositions by Mr. MorriGsey include the "French
Quarter Suite," "Carnival Day in New Orleans," and "Amer-ican
Week End." This year, much to the delight of the student
body, he wrote a new spirit song, "hlullaballoo." After its In-troduction
at the Vandy game, everyone was humming or
whistling this catchy tune.
Members of the marching band are men students of the
university. At the clcise of the football season when the ef-forts
of the Band are directed toward concert music, mem-bership
is also open to women students of Tulane and New-comb,
in the past years, participation in the Band brought no
reward other than the pride In being a part of this group, but
now each member receives a sweater or key at the end of the
season.
The Spring Concert, pre'Sented by the Band during the first
week in May, is an annual event. This year the concert was
given on three consecutive nights to accommodate the large
and enthusiastic audiences. In addition, a Spring Concert Tour
is a yearly planned activity of the Band.
THE PEP BAND
The Tulane University Pep Band is composed of members
of the Tulane University Band, but It Is an entirely .separate
organization. This spirit and pep group plays at all of the pep
rallies and shirt-tail parades throughout the football season
during which the Tulane University Band does not participate.
All the school songs are played by this spirit group at these
rallies as well as other marches and some old-time Dixieland
jazz. It has been only during the past few years that this or-ganization
has become active at the school pep rallies, but
they have become a permanent and looked-for Gf?irit group.

TULflne RIR FORCE ROTC
The Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps was esfabllshed af
Tulane Universlfy, New Orleans, Louisiana, In 1947, with Lt. Col.
Frank L. Wood as Assltant PMS&T for Air. For two years the unit
operated under the joint direction of the Army and Air Force. The
enrollment during that time was 164 Cadets. In 1947, the unit was
separated from the Army and placed under full Air Force control.
Colonel Byron S. Webb replaced Colonel Wood In August 1950 and
Is presently the Professor of Air Science.
The permanent party personnel assigned to this unit has increased
this year from four officers and four airmen, as of the beginning of
the school year, to seven officers, one warrant officer, and four airmen.
At the beginning of this school year Colonel Byron B. Webb was as-signed
to this unit as PAS&T to replace Colonel Frank L. Wood, Jr.,
who completed his AF ROTC tour of duty with this unit at the close
of the 1949-1950 school year. Major James G. Jones was assigned to
this unit as an instructor in Administration and Logistics. Captain
Walter E. Scott was assigned to this unit as an Instructor, In Commu-nications;
Captain Jack W. Lycan was assigned to this unit as a
Communications Instructor; S/Sgt. Theodore F. Morosko, clerk-typist;
M/Sgt. Roy M. Barlow, Warrant Officer Junior Grade, Is Instructor,
General Training.
The AF ROTC training at Tulane University Is divided into two
phases, the first being Administration and Logistics. Air Science IV
offers training In General Administration givng special emphasis on
Air Force Management, Food Service Supervision, Purpose and Basic
Functions of the Staff, Administration of Personnel, and Comptroller-ship.
Air Science III deals more with Forms and Reports along with
Logistics. Air Science II deals with specific Air Force subjects such
as Navigation, Meteorology, Aerodynamics and Propulsion, and Al-lied
Air Power. Air Science I deals with general military subjects.
The second phase In AF ROTC training Is Communications. This
course Is to indoctrinate the officer candidate in the fundamental
principles of Air Force Communications, rather than to present a
detailed course of the entire complex field. Some of the highlights
of the course are Command and Administration, Inspection and
Training as related to Communications Personnel; Comnnunlcations
Centers, and Message hlandling; Functional Communications Systems;
and finally Communications organizations.
During the year three joint parades were held with the Army and
Navy ROTC units. Among the dignitaries attending the reviews were
Dr. Harris, Colonel Maraist, Commanding Officer of the Louisiana
Military District, and Admiral William K. Phillips, Commandant of
the Eighth Naval District.

Ross, has shown the Tulane spirit of accomplishment in making Itself
an outstanding Drill Platoon which has participated In many extra-curricular
activities of a patriotic nature.
Just this year, the Drum and Bugle Corps has been formed from
Cadets of the Army and Air Force ROTC Units. This musical corps has
a full complement of 30 members which has attended all the ROTC
ceremonies and parades to lend the inspiring cadence that has re-sulted
In the precision of the Battalion.
The Transportation Corps Battalion was led in Its activities this
year by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Hilton A. Dickson, Jr., assisted by
his staff. Cadet Majors Peyroux. Williams, and Lanham.
Cadets Eugene E. Schaefer. Jr., William H. Davis. Gladden S.

The U. S. Naval ROTC Unit is in its thirteenth year at Tulane
University. The Unit has 203 members and of these, 37 will graduate
and receive commissions in the Navy and Marine Corps this summer.
The Unit has grown steadily since the end of World War II. and
v/ill have an enrollment of about 275 Midshipmen during the 1951-52
school year. The enrollment Is limited, admission being based on an
annual guota. Because of this, the requirements for admission are rela-tively
high.
The Navy Unit was commanded by Captain E. T. Eves, USN. during
the i950-5l school year, assisted by Commander T. C. Edrlngton,
USN, the executive officer. The military staff in addition, consisted
of one marine officer, four naval officers and seven navy and marine
petty officers. Midshipman John Mllandin commanded the Mid-shipman
Battalion with Midshipman Leon C. Leonard as sub-com-mander,
and Midshipman William L. Crull, III, John E. Jackson, Jr.,
and Frank S. Cannon as company commanders.
The academic year activities of the Unit were brought to a finale
this year by a Parade for Presentation of Awards and the President's
Review, at which the traditional presentation of colors to the com-pany
winning the annual competition took place. This was followed
by the Annual Ball held at the Naval Station in Algiers. La.
On the completion of the activities for the year, the midshipmen
left for training cruises and vacation periods lasting until the start
of the 1951-52 academic year.

CHEeRLEflDERS
Spirit in the 1950-51 season reached Its highest peak In many yea.rs. The
increase in ent'iuslasm was shown by spontaneous week-day pep-rallles and
car caravans downtown and by the traditional Friday night pep-rallies at
ihe Athletic Dormitory,
The Cheerleaders, held In tow by Tinky Thibaut and Jackie Vizzini, head
and assistant head Cheerleaders, couldn't have asked fo.' more spirit from
the students and the teams. Everyone wanted to cheer when the teams were'
winning and had ample opportunrty-to do so.
Aside from their usual capacities, the Cheerleaders loined the band In half-time
ceremonies at the football games and helped to Introduce new cheers
and songs. Frank McDonnell and Vic Chesesi kept ihe crowds continually
awed bv rhel.r tumbling while George Winn took over, doing a fine job of
announcing the yells. Dimpled Sue Hastings and ever-acHve PePe Colomes,
freshmen Cheerleaders, added much in ihe way of pep and popularity to the
group.
To say the least, Cheerlsading was more enjoyable and self-satisfying this
year because of the tremendous cooperation and never-say-die spirit of the
sludents. alumni and school officials.

The Tulane Pan-Hellenic Council functions as different fields, from football, handball and swlm-the
governing and mediating body for the social
fraternities on the campus. Aside from keeping
the Greek letter organizations In line they pro-vide
and supervise Inter-fraternity competition in
ming to skit night, song test and hlomecoming.
Those which win or place in these events receive
proportional numbers of points. Trophies are
awarded to the winner of each event. The frater-
84
pfln-HELLENic council
nity with the highest score at the close of all com-petition
is given the Pan-hlellenic Cup for the
year.
This year for the first time the Council spon-sored
a Greek Week program which was com-posed
of a series of events tending to bring to the
pledges of every fraternity the full meaning of
brotherhood, the value of a fraternity, the rela-tion
of the fraternities to the school and the
methods and duties of the Council. Group dis-cussions,
a talk by a fraternity alumnus on "Why
Be a Fraternity Man," and a party for all members
and pledges comprised this Greek Week which
was successful in every way.
One of the outstanding events of the year is
the Spring Formal which is open to all fraternity
men on the campus. This year it was held at the
Tulane room and was highlighted by the presen-tation
of the members of the Jambalaya Beauty
Court of 1951.

1 only want a buddy—not a sweetheart
Beta Epsilon chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity has enjoyed
one of its most outstanding seasons in recent years.
A.T.O. started things in September with a highly successful rush week,
climaxed by the pledging of twenty-two rushees. The chapter showed a
great deal of school spirit during the football season, attending en masse
the Notre Dame pep rally in a truck bedecked with green and blue and
numerous spirit slogans and signs.
This year A.T.O. at Tulane elected a sweetheart for the first time In
the chapter's history. Elected upon the basis of her active A.T.O. spirit
and loyalty. Miss Hanton de la hfoussaye was presented as sweetheart
at the annual formal held at the New Orleans Country Club on Febru-ary
9.
The newest member of A.T.O. on the Tulane campus is Dr. Hans B.
Jonassen. who was welcomed into the fraternity in a long anticipated
initiation ceremony on April 2.
The high point of the year was the announcement that the chapter
had won the Alpha Tau Omega High Council award for the highest
scholastic improvement record over the preceding year. This award, won
In competition with one hundred and eight other chapters in the nation,
consisted of a thirty volume set of the Encyclopedia Americana and the
High Council Plaque.

After a rather slow start in Intramural Connpetition, the tHungry
Greeks, winners of last year's Intramural trophy and Bruno Cup for
Outstanding fraternity on the Tulane Campus, took stock of themselves
and slowed down just a little bit more. Despite police protection, the
Betas are still highly discriminated against by their neighbors who
don't seem to enjoy the melodious entertainment on Saturday night as
also the Beta Band any day of the week, anytime.
The Blue and White Formal this year marked the initial occasion
that the brothers decided on a Sweetheart Court. Even though the
band was contracted for the wrong night and wrong hours, quick action
prevented the Beta Girl from strutting to local band talent.

First night in port
Athletics, scholarship, campus activity, and social life all came
in for a big share of attention this year at the Henry Clay Avenue
mansion. Highlight of the year, was the Deke National Convention
held in New Orleans during the Christmas holidays, when the brothers
from all over Joined for a round of parties and incidental business.
Wins in football and track, and other places kept the Dekes in the
thick of the Pan-Hellenic cup competition, Charlie Wilson's election
to Phi Beta Kappa, the third Deke In three years, highlighted the
chapter's sterling scholastic effort. Election of Jack Weinmann as
student body president, various class presidents, Greenbackers and
Lagniappes president, and members of Tau Beta Pi and ODK kept
the Dekes busy around school.
The usual noisy Saturday nights kept the neighbors awake, as did
the noisy meeting for the house-boys. Other favorite habits included
shouting their "Phi Marching Song," the annual picnic at Favrot's In
Covington, and the dance at the St. Charles. New efforts included a
re-painting of the chapter house and the literary work. "West on
Poker."

Whose heart's showing?
Delta Sigma Phi was founded, with the 20th century, at the College of
the City of New York December 10, 1899. Chi chapter was chartered on
the campus ofTulane University March II, 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 Stan Muller. Presi-dent,
and his colleagues, Bob Collins in charge of fun and parties, Jerry
(The Whip) Honeycutt in charge of the pledges. The gentleman who
never makes a mistake with the minutes during the meetings is Steve
Kandra. The money changers for the Klan were Ben Mauthe and Bob
Arrington. The house and the garage have undergone many changes this
year. The garage was turned into a ping pong room (did you say ping
pong room) and the house turned into a home for honest, hard working,
clean cut American boys. Joe Steverson, Bob Breger, Ben Mauthe and
many others were responsible for the changes around here.
The Delta SIg Bayou Brawl is something of a fixture around Tulane
and never fails to excite gay spirits, but this year our shipwreck party
gave the Brawl some keen competition. This year the Delta Sigs are
having a monthly dinner (it's all we can afford) at one of the swank
cafes in town. They have proven a great success in keeping the gang to-gether.
All we can say about the Winter Formal is it was GREAT. The
Young Alumni have formed a Club and we believe they will be of great
assistance to the active chapter in the coming years.

Founded at Bethany College in 1858, the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity
came to Tulane's campus in 1889. Its colors are purple, white and gold
and its official flower, the iris.
The social calendar of Beta Xi chapter was given a good start with
the Beta Xiclone party which celebrated a successful rush week in which
Delt pledged more new members than any other fraternity on the campus.
Other notable events were the Halloween party, the annual Orphan
Benefit party at Christmas and the New Year's party at the Shelter at
which both Kentucky and Oklahoma Delts celebrated the Sugar Bowl
week-end.
Always active in campus affairs, Delt again showed interest in almost
all phases of student life, especially the Military, Choral activities, and
Homecoming in which it again placed in the display competition.

True Southern gentlemen and their belles
Old Robert E. Lee looks down from the blue
On Psi Chapter In New Orleans;
And after seeing what the boys went through,
He turns to Saint Peter and beams.
"Them boys ain't the brightest in the land.
As the records plainly show;
Bui" they're natural—they ain't 'Ihesplans
—
And after skit night, that we know."
"They ain't the most athletlcaf bunch
I've seen In my born days;
But after watching I got me a hunch
That second bestest pays."
"Their cultured side, though, sho Is fine,
They go for women and they go for wine;
And when they gave their Confederate Ball,
Man! they had a time then—one and all."
Ya know, St. Pete, If I could get back
That group looks right appealln',
I'd sit and have fun and mix with them boys,
And get that Southern regal feelln'."

Sigma Chapter of Kappa Nu Fraternity was founded at Tulane In 1922.
Its official colors are purple and white and the representing flowers are
the orchid and gardenia. The chapter was ruled by President Ronald
Sturtz assisted by Veep Ed Zaita, while Aaron Buschbaum tried to collect
money and Alex Newman wrote the minutes. "Mother" Monroe Marsh
ably managed the house.
Every member of Kappa Nu still remembers vividly their 29th annual
Spring Formal held at the Grand Ballroom of the Roosevelt Hotel, since
it was one of the best formals that Sigma ever had. Awards and the new
officers were presented at the preceding cocktail party held In the
Gold Room.
"Kayen" received prominence in the newspaper world due to its
excellent monthiy, the "Sigma Signals" capably written by Harold
Breslow. The "Purple Wave" participated in all sports with spirit and
hope, with their full share of victory. The year was marked with numerous
"drlnk-fuli" house parties.
Prominent Alumni—'nuff said!

Whose spade?
For sixty-two years the crescent and the star has adorned the Tulane
campus. And this year the seniors of Kappa Sigma may [oolc back over
a year of achievement, activity, and fun. The fall formal, the first of the
year, being on the night before Christmas holidays, promised no inhi-bitions
to the gala time everyone evperienced. The year also saw the an-nual
Christmas party with their sister Chi O's, a beer party blowout with
the Phi Kaps, and April's "Pirate Party" with Jim's Plaza Club offering
standing room only to an over capacity crowd.
In activities and spirit groups Kappa Sigma was tops, having a large
Tusk membership, representatives in Greenbiickers', Omega Delta Kappa,
Lagniappes, Phi Beta Kappa. Scabbard and Blade, and on the JAMBA-LAYA
Staff. Athletics found the Kappa Sigs as chief contenders in foot-ball,
basketball, softball, and tennis.
The officers are: Gladden Walters, President; Ed Lindsay, Vice-Presi-dent;
James Conover, Grand Master of Ceremonies; Cliff Carswell, Sec-retary;

Things really seenned to rock around the Phi Delt house this year. Led by
Bobby Zetzmann, who vainly pounded the gavel in an attempt to bring
order out of the chaos in the chapter meetings and Sam Maclin who
became famous for his "We just can't afford it, you guys," a full year of
parties and other activities crowded the Phi calendar.
The year got oif to a roaring start with the sleepy-time party which
climaxed rush week. Only trouble was, nobody was sleepy! Around Christ-mas,
the Phis staged a party for some of the city's orphans. It was hard
to tell who had the most fun; the orphans or the Phis and their dates.
Spring came and found the Phis rolicking at the annual formal. The
year was closed out with the SOUTH SEA ISLAND party, where every-body
played like natives . . . sarongs, Hawaiian music, pineapple juice,
etc., etc. . . .
Big wheels around the house, besides the two above, included Bob (this
IS good food) Shader, the house manager; Walter Ward, who tried to
record the antics in the chapter room; Ev Noetzel, who valiantly (and
vainly) tried to keep EVERYBODY from yelling at once; and Lowell Wes-terman,
whose job it was to keep National HQ happy and occasionally
filled in in Zetz's absence. . . .

Under the able dictatorship of Jack "the old sentimentalist" Lehman
and the bloody hatchet of Don "Morgantheau" Jackson, Minister of Fi-nance,
the Skull House has successfully weathered the ravages of alco-holism
and late hours of "study." The house men, however, have made
some rather dire threats concerning the meais and one "Mother" Tanner,
the House Manager.
After celebrating their one hundredth anniversary with the annual
dinner and formal In January, the Phi Kaps are looking forward to another
year at the "salt mines" and more hilarious frolics In the future. It might
also be mentioned that although the cries of Dr. Karlem Rless could be
heard for miles around (even at the Deke House), the Plainsman Party
and Bowery Party went off with the usual police raids.

The SAE handclasp
As its lions roared their approval, Sigma Alpha Epsilon looked back
on the year 1950-51 as the best one in the fifty-three years that the
Louisiana Tau Upsilon Chapter has been established on the Tulane
Campus.
The round of activities began with a rousing rush v/eek followed closely
by a series of gala mennorable parties and social events. Of special note
was the Arabian party complete with three tons of sand and a question-able
"Casbah." After the Tulane-Notre Dame game, the chapter was
host to the team, band, and student body of Notre Dame. The tradi-tional
Christmas serenade of the Newcomb dormitories was followed
by a brief holiday rest.
Second semester activities were resumed with Greek Week and pledge
initiation on February 17 with a banquet and a party at the Roosevelt's
Blue Room. During the year, the fraternity was host to the Pan-Hellenic
Council meetings. March 10 saw the Annual Founder's Day Banquet at
the Country Club and on April 21 the chapter's Formal Dance was held.
Events continued throughout the semester with entertainment provided
by the SAE Band.

This Is dancing?
The Sammies have chalked up another successful year under the lea-dership
of Prior Leonard Bagelman. The "Bag" and his boys began the
year by taking first place in the tHomecoming decorations with our tin-foil
covered house. We also learned that we had won the Pan-hellenic
Scholarship Cup for the preceding year with the help of Phi Beta Kappa's
Orkin and Yoffee. Our take-off on the "Pied Piper of Hamelin" tied for
second place in Skit Night. Sammie athletic teams competed actively in
all Pan-Hellenic sports and we won the volley-ball championship. Our
social season was marked by the annual Orchid Formal in February, at
which Sweetheart Betty Rubins was introduced, the "Hawaiian Hang-over"
party in April, and our year-end banquet in May.

Sweetheart and Court of Sigma Chi
Sigma Chi had its bigges* season in many years during the 1950-51
school term. In scholarship, the chapter moved up nearly 40 places on
the list of all Sig chapters.
The Sigs picked up greatly in Pan-Hellenic sports, also, taking the Pan-hHell
trophy in basketball and furnishing big competition in track, in
which they placed third. Sigma Chi was a top contender for the Pan-HeN
Softball trophy.
The first annual Sigma Chi Derby Day was a great success last May,
and the second event promises to be even bigger, with enthusiastic sup-port
from all Newcomb sororities.
Highlight of the social season, the March 10 Sweetheart Ball was as
great a success this year as it has been in the past with Kappa beauty
Sara Woods as the 1951 Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
The new officers, elected in February, are: Consul. Tom Reising; pro-
Consul, Ray Rawis; Annotator, Billy Blackstone; Magister, Bob Simmons;

Is this typical of the Zebe House?
This has been a gala year for the members of Sigma chapter of
ZBT. The social calendar has been filled with numerous fine parties,
such as our annual Purple Passion Party which has now become famous
for Its charity irrigation project. Although our Homecoming display
was a thing of beauty, it did not place, and the brothers had to
console themselves with a consolation prize; beer. The annual
Woman Hater's Week was one of mucfi joy for the Zebes, but much
sorrow for the Newcomltes, as they persisted In jeering at our house,
even though they were not being spoken to. All offenders were sen-tenced
to the lagoon. ZBT's first annual Big Weekend was on Easter
Weekend and consisted of a series of fine parties, followed by a ban-quet
and formal honoring our nineteen newly Initiated brothers. The
boys at 1006 Broadway were In their best year on the Tulane

The Panhellenic Council of Newcomb College
is pari of the National Panhellenic Council, which
is the highest authority among women's Greek-letter

among the sororities on the campus and
to make rules governing rushing, pledging, initia-tion,
and other activities. Two actives and one
alumna representative from each sorority com-prise
the membership of the Council.
As part of its contribution to college life, Pan-hellenic

has also decided to give the sororities a
second chance to compete against each other in
a Song Fest.
Other activities of Panhellenic Council include
an annual Scholarship Banquet given to honor the
pledge and the active with the highest average

Caught with the iigger glasses on the table
This year the ADPi's spent a great deal of time talking
about plans for the Centennial in Macon, Georgia, cele-brating
the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Alpha
Delta Pi. They had a lot of fun in the meanwhile, too. The
annual formal on November I I brought everyone out in
winter formals for the first time of the season. Christmas,
ADPi's alumnae gave a party, as did the pledges. When Eas-ter
vacation came around, all the ADPi's 'spent the week-end
at Biloxi, everyone having a wonderful time, and came
back, naturally, with a beautiful sunburn.
Amid all this play, the ADPi's were quite active on the
campus. Their wheels include: Marilyn Woodward, who was
president of the music school; Jackie Zizinni, who was cheer-leader
for the third straight year; Jo Von Ehren and Trudy
Meangollora, whom all devotees of the theatre know be-cause
of their outstanding performances.

Always eating, Barbara?
Alpha Omicron Pi was founded at Barnard College, January 2, 1897,
and Pi chapter at Newcomb was established September 8, 1898. The pin
is composed of the letters "AOPi" superimposed; the color is cardinal;
the jewel is the ruby; the flower is the Jacqueminot Rose.
Pi chapter has continued its activity on the campus with members in
all organizations—honor, social, and religious. AOPi is especially proud
of Morris Middleton, who is president of the Senior Class, secretary of
the Tulane Student Council, and a member of Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities. Cookie Patten and Lucie Crane are officers
of the Junior and Sophomore Classes, respectively. For the second con-secutive
year the Urchin Pledge Pin-Up is an AOPi; Bobbie Webb took
the honors this year. Barbara Cherry, a Jambalaya beauty, was In the
hfomecoming Court.
The social program began with the Pledge Banquet. The annual fall
houseparty was in Covington. Founder's Day and Senior Banquets were
followed by the Spring Formal in March to complete the program.
This year the chapter emphasized philanthropic work for the Ken-tucky
Mountain children with magazine and clothing drives. At Thanks-giving
and Christmas, Pi helped two needy and deserving families.

"Dear Johns," en masse
Founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio on October
24, 1902, Delta Zeta "just grew and grew like Topsy." The
Newcomb chapter, founded as a chapter of Beta Phi Alpha,
became Beta Upsilon of Delta Zeta when the two sororities
merged in 1941.
The colors are rose and green, and the girls keep the dia-mond
and the pearls in their Roman lamp gleaming.
Bi-monthly suppers and weekly luncheons at the rooms,
truck rides for the members and their dates, and the annual
Ro'se Formal were high on the soci
