No man is an island entire of itself; every
man is a piece of the continent, a part of the
main. Every man's death diminishes me be-cause
I am involved in mankind . . . There-fore,
never send to know for whom the hell
tolls; it tolls for thee.

JAMBALA YA
OF TULANE UNIVERSITY
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
VOLUME LXIX
'"^
. . Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions/' Joel 2:28. The
streets were lined with the youth of America, filed with grief and torn by tragedy. The very
youth that he represented mourned his death with shock and disbelief. Shouldering very young
children, solemn, quiet, respectful, the youthfid crowd moved in rhythm v'ith the dull beat of the
muffled drums. The riderless horse-so very symbolic of a fallen leader-moved steadily forward,
bearing a saddle which yesterday was filled by John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
He was the vision we saw when we said the word, ^'^America.'' He was the embodiment of the
essence of youth, the very youth with which we identify ourselves. He was the defender of equality
and justice and the epitome of world understanding. His was a life dedicated to the principles
of peace and understanding. It was through his very efforts that the youth of America and of
the world were encouraged to seek, and to know and, finally, to understand one another.
Two peoples, two countries watch each other from either side of the globe. They stand facing
one another, alike in brotherhood, yet separated by an ocean, an ocean vast and deep and
boundless, an ocean there because there is no understanding. The ocean races forward, covering
the similarities, destroying the brotherhood, emphasizing the differences. John Fitzgerald Ken-nedy
sought in his every endeavor to fill this ocean with knowledge. It was to the youth of the
world that he made his appeal, for it is to the youth of our generation that this world of under-standing,
if created, will finally belong.
He spoke of these intangible qualities: understanding and knowledge. And we ask what are
these qualities, and where do we search them out, and what do they contribute to our lives? We
profess to understand one another, our neighbors, ourselves, but then our so-called understanding
is but an illusion. One can only understand another when each learns to seek behind the action
and to examine the reason for the behavior—the reason one country differs from another. Once we
have that reason, that motive, we are on the road to understanding.
^'*»«»-'|f j
And what of knowledge? Education speaks not just of vast libraries of universities, nor of the
scientific facts, nor of the laboratories, but it speaks of all that which leads man to an under-standing
of himself and the world. It is the friendship of life, the art of giving, the pleasure of
work, the fun of playing, and the spirit of enthusiasm. When man grows and learns, he does so
through all these factors, not through one alone. The final result is a complete, a full, a mature
individual who can contribute to the world of life. Indeed, education makes the full man. It is he
who understands himself, as well as he who understands that person, that country, on the other
side of the globe. ^m^^iXi^; ^^.
To this, then, let our 1964 ^'^Jamhalaya" he dedicated: to those principles so fervently instilled
in the youth of America and the world by the late President John F. Kennedy; to education, in
hopes that the peoples of the world shall no longer be separated by an ocean, but joined together to
make our world one of understanding, to make our youth men of knowledge, and to make this a
life permeated with fulfillment and completeneness. ^\ . . . And where there is no vision the
people perish." Proverbs, 29:18.
Tulane student begins long day of activities with a quick walk to class. Barbara Burnett gains greater understanding through long hours
of study at her desk.
Mrs. Capers develops a certain rapport with a student as they discuss
a problem of mutual interest.
The first real experience a freshman has at Tulane
is buying his books from Mr. Endicott at the
bookstore.
Education Fosters Tulane Cooperation
On graduation day the Tulane student stands with diploma in hand,
awaiting the call of that final name. And finally, the student is gradu-ated
into a world demanding his knowledge, his maturity, and his
understanding. And we of Tulane must ask ourselves what this student
has gained in understanding and cooperation from our university.
There are two aspects to this understanding resulting from campus
life.
On one side of the coin are the activities related to study: Cooperat-ing
with fellow students within class . . . sharing . . . helping to ob-tain
a copy of a book hard to find . . . explaining something mis-understood
by a classmate . . . cooperating with the faculty member
in discussing an assignment, a paper, or a new idea . . . working with
another in a lab or on an outside project . . . excitement and inspira-tion
of wholesome competition. While the student shares in these
simple learning experiences, the classwork responsibilities are mak-ing
their contributions to the side of the coin that will insure a
diploma on graduation day.
Dr. A. J. Riopelle experiments in the laboratory
to attain new knowledge of the basics of human
life.
Students attempt to understand both themselves and the world as Dr. Jonassen analyzes
a molecular structure in his freshman chemistry class.
Mr. Hank Schneider and Lehman Marks work together in preparation for freshman
orientation.
Athletes enjoy the companionship and fun of a
homecoming, pre-game meal.
Understanding Inspires Students' Creed
Yet, there is still another side to the coin, another kind of gradua-tion.
It is the life of understanding and cooperation outside the class-room.
It is the cooperation and understanding that makes the student
a human being, that makes him mature.
Sharing with a roommate . . . bull sessions with the person down
the hall . . . losing a fraternity football game . . . seeing a personal
flaw through the help of a friend . . . dating . . . participating in a
campus activity . . . just playing pool with an acquaintance—^these
are the everyday occurrences that build and mold and shape the
individual. Here, in human relationships, are the seeds of worldwide
understanding. It's the "hello" on campus or the unexpected favor
that begin to secure this understanding, this cooperation at Tulane.
Most important of a student's accomplishments is his learning, both
as a student and as a human being. Everyday he meets and converses
with people of various levels; whether it is with his roommate or
professor, he is learning to cooperate and to understand, to develop
both sides of the coin. He has learned to respect his own wishes as
well as those of his acquaintances, and acknowledges that the world
is composed of many, not just one. Perhaps he has gained the under-standing
of himself and others which will insure his fulfillment of the
demands of the world, and which he individually can use in con-tributing
to world understanding and cooperation.
Tulanians enjoy themselves in celebration of Homecoming Weekend.

Center facilities to get in that last bit of studying
before the "big test."
New Additions to Campus
Enhance Tulane's Facilities
The facilities of Tulane offer each student an opportunity to de-velop
his talents and fulfill his ambitions. The University Center with
meeting rooms, swimming pool, bowling lanes, snack shop and music
listening rooms seems to be a center of all types of activity. Any
afternoon during the school year it is quite possible to find a Tulane
student studying on the mezzanine or socializing "with a cup of cof-fee"
at the snack bar. Gibson Hall and Newcomb Hall however are
the centers of activity during the class hours. Many a student has
seen success and failure in the hallowed halls of these two buildings.
The dormitories, ranging in age from the ancient Josephine Louise
freshman dorm to the shining, polished, recently completed Monroe
House are a vital part of life at Tulane. The Tulane University
Theatre Playhouse, the well-known Sugar Bowl, the Howard Tilton
Memorial Librai-y, Bruff Commons, and the Caroline Richardson
Dining Hall all contribute an important part to campus life.
Gibson Hall, one of Tulane's oldest buildings, is a familiar landmark
to the University students.

With the growth of the campus, Tulane facilities expand to accom-odate
increasing numbers of students. Monroe Dorm serves Tulane
students both adequately and comfortably.

Jackson Square and the Saint Louis Cathedral are landmarks of historical
significance, known by native New Orleanians as favorite spots to all who
happen to pass.
New Orleans, the third largest port in the United States,
serves both the country and the world as the gateway to
the Americas.
Canal Street comes alive with colors and decora-tions
during the British Festival. The co-opera-tion
evident in the presentation of this program
exemplifies world understanding.
New Orleans, a city of artists and culture, dis-plays
the work of its talented citizens in any
available space in the French Quarter.
New Orleans Serves Country
As Gateway To Ttie Americas
A city of varied flags and influences, of the old world and the new,
of French and Spanish and English . . . New Orleans, a metropolis,
a cosmopolitan city, a living example of Amei'ica's melting pot . . .
The various groups and countries, at first, developed their own distinct
and separate communities, never crossing any boundary to join with
any other group. Yet with the passage of time and the growth of un-derstanding,
the boundary line dissolved and the many became one
. . . Today the entire community as a whole, as one, shares in the
benefits of the docks, of Michoud, of one city hall, of one libraiy, of
me French Quarter. Striving, working, creating together, the in-habitants
of varied areas and customs contributed to a city, a rich, a
vast, a beautiful heritage able to be enjoyed by all. Such a city, such
accomplishments, such a culture are developed only with understand-ing
and cooperation as brothers in a world of differences.

Unfamiliar Faces Invade Campus
During Summer Months
Graduation . . . trunks and packing . . . heat and humidity . . .
rushing to catch that plane . . . and finally good-byes . . . the campus
is deserted, the classes empty, the University Center quiet. Then, like
a burst of thunder, the race is on again.
New and unfamiliar faces place their belongings in what last
spring we called our room. Summer school students take over our
spot in the library, our school, our campus. A rather leisurely air
pervades the students in burmuda shorts as they walk to classes. The
hush of exams is broken by the spring of the diving board as the
camp counselor instructs his pupils . . . Little girls in black leotards
race up the steps of the Newcomb gym to their dance class as the
Tulane campers invade the baseball diamonds.
Suddenly, the whole campus takes on a new look as the face-lifting
program gets into full swing . . . New dorms seem to spring up from
the very spot where we played football last fall. Time speeds by . . .
Unbelievably it's fall again and that first student with suitcase in
hand surveys the campus wearing that familiar smile of "I'm back at
last" . . . Classes just around the corner.

A "fafl arrival contemplates the comforts of Southern hospitality and the prospects of
lively campus spirit.
Arrival Of Fall Renews
Campus Activities And Classes
The long lines of registiatioii lead directly to alarm clocks and
early rising, classes and books, study, study, and more study. Ninety
degree weather and foothall games cause us to think that summertime
has simply turned to Indian summer and not fall at all . . . But, grad-ually
the rains come, usually at the same time as the arrival of Home-coming
. . . The homecoming festivities end abruptly as mid-semester
exams pile up in a sudden onslaught and pink slips peek daintily
from beneath the flaps of envelopes. As fall really begins to take
hold, deferred rush sees the comings and goings of freshmen and
sorority girls up and down Broadway. Pep rallies, fraternity football
games, the freshman talent show—all these thrust Tulane into a
frenzy of activity which barely diminishes until Thanksgiving vaca-tion.

Sports Encourage Enthusiasm
And Loyalty For Alma Mater
The football season sees crowds of enthusiastic students pouring
into the Sugar Bowl for another T.U. game. Cheering loudly, standing
for a hopeful touchdown, groaning at an interception, all eyes are on
the field ... A one, a two, a hell of a Hullabaloo! . . . and we find
ourselves at another pep rally with a cheerleader before us and
football players predicting victory ... A bonfire glowing brightly in
the darkened night, surrounded by students, offering some gift to
appease the "greenie gods," yelling for a victoi-y. Street dances and
homecoming displays . . . Emile from Pat O'Briens . . . cheers . . .
and the pep band . . . T.U. is well prepared for a year of exubei-ance
and loyalty for our Alma Mater.
No buntire is complete without a pretty girl and
this bonfire is no exception. Here Tulane students
make a worthwhile sacrifice to the "greenie gods."
Tulane's Green Wave rolls down the field with
visions of victory uppermost in each player's mind.
With the help of Pat O'Brien's Emile, Tulane cheerleaders lead T.U. students on to
enthusiastic cries for victory.
Tulane again makes a wise choice of beautiful and versatile girls
to grace their Homecoming Court, as is evidenced by Norma May,
Patty Heatherly, Coleen Spence, Dianne Potin, Liz Jane Caldwell,
Helen Harr)-, and Susan Cosgrove.
Tulane's striking Dianne Potin receives a willing congratulatory kiss
from John C. Hodges, President of the Alumni Association, during
half-time festivities.
W- li
The power and determination of T.U.'s team makes itself evident throughout the hard
but well-played homecoming game.
Alums Welcomed With Wide
Variety Of Homecoming Displays
For weeks before the day arrives, in hushed and hurried tones,
the Greeks on campus prepare for their homecoming displays. Hours
at the house are spent stuffing chicken wire, cutting, revising and
building . . . And suddenly it's the night before, and Broadway is
alive with students hard at work, as each display takes shape. 5:00
a.m. and one would think all of Tulane is still settled snuggly in bed,
but everywhere people administer the well-guarded secret . . . And
eagerly they await the judges' arrival . . . "A sticky rug for an icky
bug" . . . "Gone with the Wind" . . . "Bees a la Moat" . . . "Welcome
Alumns." Broadway is dressed in full array. . . The game is played
in summer heat, but the sun is shining. Half-time sees the presentation
of the campus court as each girl smiles, waving excitedly to both
unfamiliar and familiar faces in the crowd. At last the Homecoming
Queen is crowned for 1963 . . . That night all Tulane finds itself
dancing and laughing in the crowded ballroom of the Jung Hotel.
Once again the court is presented and the dream begins to fade. As
the clock strikes one, the dream has disappeared and all return to
campus—until next year.
Tucker Couvillion takes great pleasure in pre-senting
Dianne Potin, the reigning queen, to her
subjects at the annual Homecoming Dance.

Winter Slips In While Students
Face Exams And Vacation
We have eaten all the turkey possible and suddenly Thanksgiving
is over. Where has the semester gone? . . . Twelve short days and
Christmas is upon us . . . The hanging of the green seems impossible
in the absence of snow. The night before we leave . . . We find our-selves
leaning out our windows, listening to the caroling Tulanians
bid us "Season's Greetings." . . . Then, it's home—fun—New Year's
Eve— and finally T.U. greets us once again . . . Another year . . . We
find ourselves crowding a whole semester of study into three short
weeks . . . Finally exams are over. Haggard faces catch up on much
needed sleep while sororities greet their new pledges as each girl
accepts her bid . . . The race is on again . . . Another long line at
registration , . . More classes, more study.
Daria D'Aporto puts the final touches on the Christmas tree during the "hanging of the

Spring Fever Initiates Whirl
Of Social Events On Campus
A season of Maidi Gras activities, Ijalls, dances, and parades grad-ually
infests the entire campus with a disease prevalent only in the
spring months. As spring fever attacks the students, arm in arm cou-ples
stroll lazily to Audubon Park, spending hours enjoying the re-newal
of nature. Industrious students gather their books together and
nonchalantly prop themselves against the budding trees to "prepare"
for final exams. Mysteriously, the campus hermits leave their winter
quaiiers and seem to forget that there is studying to be done. Young
men staring at the beauties of nature hang breathlessly from their
dormitory windows as the Newcomb co-eds head for the roof and
sun in impressive attire. Formals crowd the busy social schedule. The
Pan-Hel formal sees the ]ambalaya staff announce Miss Pauline
Tulane and her court, while Spring Weekend is just around the comer.
The lovely spring weather once again turns to heat and humidity,
Easter vacation, and semester exams. The year is culminated as long
lines crowd the corridors of the University Center basement, eagerly
awaiting the chance to receive their copy of the 1964 Jambalaya.
Smiling faces and screams of "Throw me some-thing.
Mister." predominate as Mardi Gras spirit
marks the beginning of Spring.

Tulane Bids Fond Farewell
To Seniors At Graduation
And the year is over . . . All that remains now are the good-byes,
the diploma, and departure. With speed and excitement these four
years at Tulane Univei-sity seemed to have raced by and now all the
tomorrows are upon us. What have we gained? Perhaps some bit of
understanding that can guide us through whatever the future may
bestow, some bit of knowledge that will make each of us a full and
complete individual . . . Long lists of names, graduation robes,
parents, friends, and, finally, that hard-earned diploma is grasped
finnly between nervous hands. And, so, good-bye Tulane—thanks
for the fun, the memories, the knowledge . . . We won't forget . . .
Farewells said and plans for reunions secured, we take a final look
at our Alma Mater . . . Four years of memory flood our minds and
we can remember when we first arrived as freshman. But now, good-bye,
we'll see you again . . . someday, somehow, somewhere.
Four years of Tulane life culminate when the senior class receives the long-awaited
diploma.

cradle of civilization, the birthplace of history, the beginnings of society. Symbolically this monu-ment

The President's Message
This year Tulane reaches the age of 130 and grants
its 40,000th degree. Nearly half of those degrees have
been conferred in the past twenty years and more than
a fourth in the last ten years.
Members of the class of 1964 will thus join a rela-tively
young alumni group of a university which, by
American standards is comparatively old.
While this year's seniors were freshmen, the
United States elected the youngest president in its
history; and despite his tragic death, the vigor which
characterized his administration has persisted in our
national leadership.
These are times of emphasis on youthful view-point
and youthful aspiration, in the university and
in the country. I hope that as you make your voices
heard, as alumni and as citizens, the freshness and
enthusiasm of your college years will stay with you
and mark your efforts. Tulane will welcome a youth-ful
outlook among its alumni and friends; for a uni-versity,
serving the young and looking ever to the
future, becomes venerable but never aged. Such an
outlook is necessary also for the people of this and
other free nations in a world of rapid change requir-ing
constant adjustment.

Student Life
The adniiiiistration of the particulars of campus
life is directed and supervised by the Division of
Student Life and its staff. It is through the efforts of
the various departments and divisions of this branch
of the administration that Tulane students receive
advice, information, and guidance.
The Student Program seeks to give the student an
opportunity to complement his formal studies with
social and cultural growth, and to give him oppor-tunities
to develop his interests and appreciation,s
through companionship.
The Orientation Program at the beginning of the
year strives to acquaint new students with Tulane,
and to assist them in making the transition from
reliance on others to reliance on self. The University
Center, in all its many aspects, offers the student
recreation, and provides him with meeting rooms
and many activities. Every phase of the University
as it directly concerns the student can be traced to
one or another of the branches of the Division of
Student Life.
The new facilities created constantly for the stu-dent-
new dorms and food services, renovated ath-letic
facilities, the Health Sei-vice and the University
Center-are the testimony of the Division of Student
Life and their labor for the student and his benefits.
All the members of the staff are experienced in their
field and are dedicated to their work.

Tulane Alumni
The Tulane Alumni Association was incorporated
in 1898, dedicated to the broad principles of loyalty
and service to the University and its alumni. During
the past sixty-six years it has grown into a world-wide
organization of more than 35,000 members living in
the fifty states and in sixty foreign countries.
The Alumni Fund provides money for the needs
of the University. The Association's contributions
to higher education have been equally important.
Alumni clubs provide scholarships to deserving stu-dents
in their areas. The annual Tulane conferences,
presented by the Association and Alumni Clubs, bring
to many Southern cities programs in the specialized
fields of science, the humanities, law, medicine, en-gineering,
social work, and others.
Other activities include Homecoming, reunions,
and the principal publication for the alumni, The
Tulanian, sent to all alumni without charge.
Keeping communications open between the alumni house and the
campus is a full-time job for H. B. Baptiste.

Newcomb Alumnae
All students who have attended Newcomb, whether
they have graduated from the school or not, are con-sidered
as members of the Newcomb Alumni Asso-ciation.
This association is now composed of more
than nine thousand alumnae. The office is in the Tulane
Alumni House, where files are kept concerning cur-rent
addresses of former students. Clubs of alumnae
are located in leading cities throughout the United
States.
The Association has two national meetings annually,
one at Homecoming in the fall, and the other at Com-mencement
in the spring. At the first of this year, the
freshman descendents of both Newcomb and Tulane
alumni were honored at a reception for them at the
Alumni House. Here they had a chance to meet fel-low
freshmen from New Orleans as well as from
cities all over the United States. They also looked
at pictures of their parents in old copies of the
Jambalaya.

j^yThe School of Law was established by an act of the
Louisiana Legislature in 1847, when the University
of Louisiana was organized. In 1906, the Law Depart-ment
moved to the present campus site on St. Charles
Avenue and in that same year was one of the two law
schools in the entire South on the accredited list of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teach-ing.
The School of Law, since its founding, has grad-uated
approximately 3,000 students.
Because of the metropolitan location of the School,
opportunity is afforded for much practical observa-tion
of a variety of civil and criminal courts. The
Louisiana Supreme Court and the United States Court
of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit are in New Orleans.
The School of Law tries to maintain a proper bal-ance
between the necessary basic informational con-tent
and the broader, more cultural aspects of law
study. This is because today's law students become
not only judges, legislators, and law teachers, but may
also go into fields of business or government sei-vice.
An opportunity for seeing the broad view of legal
principles which comes from compartive treatment is
given by studying the codes of Louisiana as well as
the common law which is similar in all states.

Medical School
The School of Medicine, established in 1834, was
the first medical college in the Deep South or South-west.
The school is now located in the Josephine Hut-chinson
Memorial Clinic Building, next to the Charity
Hospital. With the completion of the new unit in
1963, the first year departments were consolidated
with the rest of the school.
The use of the wards and clinics of the Charity
Hospital has been given to the teaching staff of the
Medical School for the practical instruction of its
students in all the divisions of medicine and surgery.
In addition, the facilities of other hospitals in New
Orleans and elsewhere in Louisiana are at Tulane's
disposal.
The Tulane Bio-medical Computing System is in
close cooperation with the School of Medicine. It is
devoted to investigation and education in the role of
modem data processing techniques in the fields of
health and life sciences.

Engineering students survey T.U.'s campus.
The School of Engineering offers professional
training in chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical
engineering.
The chemical engineering curriculum provides the
student with knowledge to cope with the technology
of the chemical industry. This includes the use of
automatic computation and powerful new tools for
designing and operating processes.
'iThe civil engineering curriculum provides instruc-tion
in the fundamental principles pertaining to the
profession. These include bridge, hydraulic and struc-tural
engineering, surveying and mapping, and trans-portation,
sanitary, and highway engineering.
The electrical engineering department teaches its
students to supei-vise and direct the processes of gen-eration,
transmission and distribution of electrical
energy. Fields are open to these students in nuclear
power, applications of electricity in medicine, and
missile and satellite instrumentation and control.

Terra papers, themes, and critical essays keep English students busy

English
The overall program of the English Department
creates in the student an appreciation and compre-hensive
knowledge of trends in poetry, prose, drama,
and criticism; gives an understanding of literary and
cultural relationships; and fosters individual critical
judgment and writing ability.
To acquaint freshmen and sophomores with literary
analysis, and major American and British writers is
the purpose of the four semesters of English required
of all Tulane and Newcomb students.
Upper level courses offer a wide range of studies
in literature, grammar, creative writing, and literary
criticism. Courses include surveys of representative
types of literature in important stylistic periods, and
the political and social atmosphere of the times. Com-position
and reading courses are available to students
whose native language is not English. Creative writ-ing
classes, limited in size, are employed in directed
projects in verse and prose. Courses concentrating on
the works of Shakespeare, Milton, and Chaucer, and
more modern writers are offered.
The impossibility of studying dozens of novels, plays, and short
stories in the last 24 hours before a midseraester is mirrored by the
agonized expression on the face of a harried Newcomb student.
65
Languages
The study of a language, whether classical or
modern, is required up to a second year of all Arts
and Science students, and up to a third year of all
Newcomb students.
Experimental courses in several languages are of-fered,
working on the principle of learning by hearing.
These classes give the student extensive lab work, and
he learns by repeating rather than by reading from a
book.
Language labs, formerly housed in the Alcee For-tier
Hall, have been moved to the newly renovated
fourth floor of Newcomb Hall. These labs, just fin-ished
in time for second semester this year, have the
newest equipment and facilities. In addition, there
are class rooms for language classes.
In addition to classical Latin and Greek, students
may elect French, Italian, German, Russian, Spanish,
or Portuguese. In each of these, the course of study
includes a survey of the literature in the countries
speaking that language. This provides an insight into
the culture and history of other lands.
This complicated control panel allows teachers to give individual in-struction
to language students.
The language lab is becoming a "home away from home" for more
and more students as the language departments increasingly em-phasize
conversational ability and correct pronunciation.

Fine Arts
A Comedy of Errors, produced by the theatre department, received
outstanding reviews from the critics.
To develop the student's proficiency in studio art
and to provide him with an understanding of the
methods and content of art history are the primary
aims of the Department of Art, one of the most out-standing
in the South.
Two degrees are offered by the department—the
Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Fine Arts with
a major in studio art or art history. Studio art majors
may concentrate in one of five fields: ceramics, de-sign,
painting, printmaking, and sculpture. As the
student pursues a program of art studies, broad in-troductory
courses give way to increasingly special-ized
classes dealing with advanced problems and
methods of creation. Art histoiy majors gain a
thorough knowledge of artistic backgrounds, theories,
and philosophies, and of the economic, social, and
political forces which influenced the artist.
Because three hours of studio work are required for
one hour's credit, art students receive much practice
and individual attention during their undergraduate
years which well prepares them for further studies
leading to careers.
A vital part of the art curriculum is the sculpture class which intro-duces
students to the problems of creation in a three-dimensional
medium.

Mathematics
Studying the structure and techniques of mathe-matical
analysis and computation is the aim of the
department.
This department has been offering for some years
a program for freshmen similar to the one sponsored
by the Committee on the Undergraduate program of
the Mathematical Association of America. Its purposes
are to acquaint the student with some leading con-cepts
of modem mathematics early in his study of
the subject and to give him an acquaintance with the
theory of calculus as well as with its use as a tool.
This program serves as an introduction to aspects of
modern mathematics which have become important
to the physical and behavioral sciences, economics,
and medicine.
After the introductoiy courses, students may elect
a variety of subjects. These include techniques in dis-crete
and continuous mathematics, engineering math-ematics,
mathematics for the biosciences, application
of differential equations of electricity and mechanics,
the theory of games, and probability.

General Studies
The General Studies program includes courses in
literature, philosophy, social studies, and art history.
General Literature creates in the student an appre-ciation
of representative types of literature in impor-tant
stylistic periods.
General Philosophy deals with the more important
schools and problems of western philosophy, studied
against their historical backgrounds.
General History is a comparative study of histori-cal
institutions and ideas.
In Main Currents in American Civilization, stu-dents
are familiarized with the historical analysis
of democratic principles, agrarianism, industrialism,
and social movement.
Arts are studied for their own sake and as reflec-tions
of the societies and cultures which produced
them in the History of European Art.
The General Studies program offers the student a
study of the varied aspects of intellectual and cultural
life.

Education
To meet the ever increasing need for well (|ualified
teachers is a primary ohjective of the Tulane Teacher
Education Center.
Admission to the curricuhir which leads to certifi-cation
to teach in l)Oth elementary and secondary
schools is by application to the Director in the soph-omore
year. A broad background in English, science,
social studies, mathematics, foreign language, and
health and physical education is required of prospec-tive
teachers ; essentially these courses are those lead-ing
to a Bachelor of Art or Science degree.
Professional education acquaints the student with
psychology, principles of teacliing, methods and tech-niques,
and extends the student's knowledge of schools,
pupils, the curriculum, and the community.
Special education consists of subject concentrations
chosen as the teaching fields. This advanved work
builds on the knowledge acquired in the first two years
of the program.
At the completion of tlie Teacher Education pro-gram,
students must take the National Teacher Ex-amination.

Physical Education
Appreciation, eiijoyniciit, and iindcislaiuliiij; ol
sports and games and increased proficiency are the
primary aims of the Physical Education Department.
In striving to attain the ideal of "a sound mind in
a sound hody" Tulane has greatly expanded the physi-cal
education program in the past few years.
Four semesters of sports activities are required of
each student. All students must pass an intermediate
level swimming test before graduation. While courses
in such recreational sports as golf, Laskethall, had-minton.
and volleyball are stressed, the University
oifers such diversified classes as "Squash Raquets,"
"Folk Dancing," and "Tumbling."
Related subjects in the physical education field
are also taught. These courses stress the principles,
organization, and administration of physical fitness
programs. Basic science programs in anatomy and
physiology are also offered liy the department. Profes-sional
techniques of coaching are taught at the upper
levels. Courses concerning health education and cur-riculum
problems are available for prospective teach-ers.
Girls basketball classes may seem to be more luck than skill, but
competent instructors are constantly working to teach Newcombers
the fundamentals of the game.
While practicing broad-jumping each student is carefully watched by

ORGANIZATIONS
Student council officers are Heft to right) Tom Ries, treasurer; Helen
Harry, secretary; Tucker Couvillon, president; Alex Dietz, vice-presi-dent;
and Rod Chastant, U.C. Board president.
The Tulane Student Council, acting as a body
through which the voice of the students can be heard,
is composed of elected representatives from each of
the nine colleges of the University and five officers.
This year the council has been under the leadership of
Tucker Couvillon, a senior in the Aits and Sciences.
Alex Dietz served as Vice-President, Helen Harry as
Secretary-Treasurer, Tom Ries as Representative-at-
Large, and Rod Chastant as President of the Univer-sity
Center Board. Besides acting as a voice of the
students, the Council has direct control over student
organizations and the budgeting concerning student
affairs.
Working chiefly through standing and special com-mittees,
this year's Council has laid the groundwork
for several projects which, if accepted, will be of
value to both the students and the University. The
Budget Committee, under the chairmanship of Russ
Herman has completed its proposal to place all of the
funds allotted to Student Activities under the Student
Council. The Parking Lot Committee, headed by Jerry
Goldstein has completed plans for a temporary lot
which will handle 150 cars. The Tutoring Committee,
chaired by Pat Alverson, has investigated the possi-bility
of establishing a tutoring society here at Tulane.
Bill Pitts and his Reading Period Committee are com-pleting
a recommendation which will give the students
the four days preceeding final exams for reviewing
with no classes. The N.S.A. Committee under Bill
O'Neill, the Cafeteria Committee under Bill Williams,
the Elections Committee under Cork Steiner, and sev-eral
others have also contributed to make this a very
successful year for the Student Council.

Thursday night, 6:45—UC Board Meeting! Com-posed
of ten committee chairmen, four officers and
one regional coordinator, the University Center
Board co-ordinates, discusses and evaluates the pro-cedures
of the entire program throughout the year.
The "program," which ranges from that favorite
comic. Bob Hope, to the winner of the regional pool
tournament. Certain events of the year of 1963-64
make the UC Program one which is unique. Though
the committees retain their previous titles, the activi-ties
of this year were varied, and each event presented
a kaleidoscope of successes, problems, and excitement
which produced an element of individuality in this
year's program. Off to a booming stall: with UC Open
House, the committees then branched into their own
areas of specialization.
A captivating Artist Series, featuring such perform-ers
as Carlos Montoya and Marian Anderson, was
sponsored by the Music Committee. Other outstanding
activities of this committee included the A Cappella

Inter-House Council
The Inter-House Council is the main co-ordinating
body for the men's residence halls. Its function lies
in the supei-vision of dormitory activities, governing
of the residence halls, and general co-ordination of

Highlights of the Inter-Council's year have been its
annual auction featuring Bill "The Messiah" Clark;
the annual Christmas dance held in Bruff Commons;
a series of Saturday night Spring record hops; and
bi-monthly meetings featuring Robert's Rules of Or-der.
The political side of Inter-House Council was re-vealed

based on the belief that rules are made for the in-telligent
individual to use as a guide to a more pro-fitable

The students recognized in Who's Who each year
are nominated from approximately 600 colleges and
universities. Campus nominating committees are in-structed,
in making decisions, to consider the student's
scholarship, his cooperation and leadership in aca-demic
and extracurricular activities; his service and
citizenship to the school; and his promise of future
usefulness. Recognition by Who's Who means that
the student was officially recommended from the uni-versity
or college he attends and then accepted by
the organization.

La Tertulia Oreades
La Tertulia, the Spanish honorary club at Newcomb
College, was founded in 1939 with the purpose of
maintaining an active interest in the customs, litera-ture
and art of Spain and South America. The mem-bers
are chosen in the spring of each year from those
girls who are enrolled in a Spanish course and have
an A average in a 100-level course or at least a B
average in an upper level course. The annual activities
include commemoration of Columbus Day, a Christ-mas
fiesta, Panamerican Day, Cervantes Day, and a
final banquet. This year the program also included
a debate in Spanish concerning the effects of higher
education on women in Spain and in the United States
and a "Twelfth Night Party" in January.
As the Newcomb Honorary Classics group, Oreades
meets throughout the year to promote interest in the
classics. The programs vary from fun ceremonies
like Saturnalia to interesting lectures. In December,
Oreades celebrates the Roman pagan festival Saturn-alia
with Eta Sigma Phi.
Of special interest to Oreades is the influence that
classics have made on our life today. An excellent
example here in New Orleans is the Carnival Season.
The members are dedicated to the reillumination of
Renaissance ideals to help lead out of these Dark
Ages.

professional chapters in all major cities. The student
chapters, such as Alpha Tau at Tulane, aid students
during their college life, whereas the professional
chapters help the members upon entering the field
after graduation. Membership in the Tulane chapter
is open to students majoring either in chemistry or
chemical engineering.
Delta Sigma Pi
The presentation of the Rose of Delta Sig at the
annual Rose Formal climaxed a whirlwind social sea-son
for members of the Gamma Mu chapter of Delta
Sigma Pi. The chapter, which has been active on the
Tulane campus since 1949, also sponsored tours of
local firms, conducted programs with prominent
speakers from various fields, and promoted discus-sions
about important topics from today's business
world. Each year the chapter enters a national effi-ciency
contest against other chapters, which conform
to standards set up by the Central Office. The Gamma
Mus always score in the upper echelon of the final
standings of this contest.

Scholars And Fellows
The Tulane Scholars and Fellows Program was in-augurated
in 1962 for superior students in the Col-lege
of Arts and Sciences and in Newcomb College.
The program arranges special academic counselling
to assist the student in coordinating his schedule to
adapt the University offerings for superior students
to his own al)ilities, objectives and needs. Basically,
participation in the program provides an opportunity
for academic advancement and recognition through a
carefully planned program of honors courses, inde-pendent
studies, and other special instructional possi-bilities
not normally available to other students.
Pi Sigma Alpha
Alpha Sigma of Pi Sigma Alpha is the Tulane
Chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science
Honor Society. It has many active members on the
Tulane campus from the several colleges of the uni-versity.
Requirements for membership include a minimum
of a B average in at least 10 houi^s of political science
and standing in the upper third of the respective class
rankings. A major in political science is not neces-sary.
The activities of this year included monthly meet-ing
with guest speakers, each discussing a particular
problem in the political science field.

In Older to acquaint the student with the German
language, culture, art, and social customs, the Ger-man
Club of Tulane and Newcomb has presented a
varied program of several films on German art, a
short Christmas play in verse to illustrate an aspect
of German Christmas celebration, a chance for stu-dents
of German to meet on a social level and try
their hand at conversational German, and, in con-junction
with Delta Phi Alpha—the German Honor-ary
Fraternity, an evening of German Lieder.
Graduate Business Society
The Graduate Business Administration Society of
Tulane University is a new organization, founded
in the fall of 1963. It is the successor to the MBA
Club which was established in the fall of 1960 as a
group for academic and social purposes and which
continued on that basis until the formation of the GBA
society.
A formal organization of the graduate business
students is a logical development in consideration of
the growth of the graduate business school. In the
academic year 1960—1961, when the informal club
was organized, 15 students received MBA degrees. In
the fall of 1963, when the society was organized, there
were thirty-seven full-time graduate students and this
number will continue to grow as the business school
develops and expands into a school for graduate busi-ness
study only. The last undergraduate class of bus-iness
students was admitted in the fall of 1963.

Oi-ganized in 1960 as the Young States Righters,
the Tulane Conservative Club is dedicated to oppos-ing
change which we believe inimical to the Anglo-
American heritage of free enterprise and limited
constitutional government. The Club attempts to ac-quaint
students with viewpoints different from those
of the Liberal academy. The principal activities in-clude
the writing and distril)ution of the magazine.
The Liberator, together with the distribution of the
Southern Conservative newspaper and occasional
literature; and a speakers program. In the past the
Club has brought to the campus such personalities as
William I. Buckley Jr., J. Strom Thurmond and Tom
Anderson. Activities held during the January-May
period, 1964, called for campus speeches by Gov-ernor
George C. Wallace of Alabama, Attorney Gen-eral

activities of many types for engineering students. At
the bi-monthly meeting speakers and films concerning
Civil Engineering are presented. The group also or-ganizes
field trips for its members to construction
sites, offshore drilling rigs, and fabrication and in-dustrial
plants in the New Orleans area. In a lighter
vein the A.S.C.E. organizes intramural sports partici-pation
for the Department of Civil Engineering in
addition to sponsoring several parties for members
during the school year.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
serves as a means of acquainting the Mechanical En-gineering
student with the practical side of his pro-fession
while meeting the men he will join after grad-uation—
men already working as mechanical en-gineers.
The society at Tulane seeks to accomplish these
objectives by monthly meetings, at which gleeful stu-dents,
having pushed aside scholastic worries, hear
stimulating lectures by outstanding members of in-dustry.
The members visit modern industrial plants
as a means of complimenting the knowledge they al-ready
possess.

Louisiana Engineering The Pre-Medical Society
The Tulane Student Chapter of the Louisiana En-gineering
Society has the distinction of being the only
technical society in the School of Engineering whose
membership is composed of undergraduates and
graduates from each of the four major fields of en-gineering.
The organization strives to promote a
closer union of the engineering student body by hav-ing
monthly meetings with guest lecturers speaking
on subjects of interest to all engineers.
Other activities of the L.E.S. include field trips
and social events. The field trips enable the students
to see in practice, the principles they are now study-ing
in the classroom. Nor is the social life of the
engineering student neglected, as the L.E.S. assists
in all social functions sponsored by the various tech-nical
societies of the School of Engineering. Li addi-tion,
the L.E.S. sponsors an outdoor liarbecue
Now in its sixteenth year, the Pre-Medical Society
is one of the most successful organizations on cam-pus.
The primary goal of this society is to acquaint
all undergraduate pre-medical students with their
chosen profession. This end is achieved through bi-weekly
films, most of which are in color and sound,
that deal with the medical specialties and areas of
general interest. Some of the films shown in the past
include: "Orthopedic Surgery," etc. The highlight of
the year is usually the meeting at which two films
dealing with j^irth, "Normal Delivery," and "Lower
Caesarean Section" are shown. At all meetings, a
doctor who specializes in the particular field being
covered by the film is present to answer any ques-tions.
A tour through Charity Hospital and Tulane
Medical School, and a steak dinner banquet provide
a thrilling climax to the Pre-Medical Society's year.

Four Final Deadlines
The Jambalaya Staff, well known for its unanswered
football and 100 mile hike challenges with the Hulla-baloo
Staff, spent a year alternately playing and
working (depending on which deadline was next).
Although more time was spent working at playing
than playing at working, the Jambalaya did succeed
in meeting all deadlines. Many nights the staff closed
the University Center and sent Charlie, the Greenie
Cop, home for some well-needed hours of relaxation.
The inspiration and backbone of strength for the
entire staff was Danny Schwartz, the 1964 Jambalaya
editor. Danny, whose nickname is NATO (No Action
Talk Only), kept all happy and smiling even when
he himself couldn't smile. Danny's favorite food is
"Candy Kisses" which fits in well with his nickname.
Allan Yasnyi, business manager, who spent more time
at Campus Nite than selling ads, successfully plunged
the entire book into blissful debt. However, Jeff Yea-ger's
talents as an amateur photographer and expert
dark-room manipulator were constant forces behind
the staff's efforts. Mike Harris, bow-legged sports edi-tor,
born on a saddle in St. Louis, Missouri, whose
favorite pastime (besides laughing) is cooking, kept
the staff well-fed and healthy with occasional meals
right from Daddy Harris' kitchen. Tom Jones, between
tests, patched together the organizations section with
some glue and some plagiaristic talents. Jack Cohen,
photographer, spent the entire year devising ways to
get Georgia "peaches" into the Jambalaya. The crown-ing
glory of the male side of the staff was fraternity
editor, Doug Conner, who invited all the crowned
heads of Europe to his fraternity formal, and finding
they couldn't come, decided to portray them himself,
in top hat, tails, cane and cape.

Next was Karen Deener, the untouehaljle class editor,
who knew more abont the people in the pictnres than
how to sort them. Norma May, sorority editor, pros-pered
unbelievably well by her alliliation with the
staff as can be evidenced through her membership
on both the Homecoming and Janibalaya beauty
courts. Mary Miller, curriculum editor, who knew
more about cropping pictures ihan did the editor,
spent more time with the basketball team than with
the Jambalnya staff. Judi Meitin, "Jamb-a-lay-a'
scheduling editor, scheduled many pictures to help
insure freedom of the press and freedom of expres-sion.
Zuma Lee Gribben, features editor, had such a
hard time resisting Nicky's blue eyes that she didn't
even stay for the presentation of Miss Pauline Tulane
at the Pan-Hel Formal. Marsha Sidel, slim, trim
copy editor, controlled various muscles and finished
the bulk of her work before Spring days turned her
thoughts elewhere. Captioning her way into the office,
assistant copy editor Janet Hendrick had a decided
love for beauty parlors, especially their ability to
cut hair evenly. Mary Sumner, recognizing that per-sistance
is paramount, used her talents to become a
wise old owl. Rounding out the list was constant Con-nie
Cudd, assistant class editor, who dropped her class
section and indexing duties at any opportunity to
take messages up to the Dean's office on the 2nd
floor. The most precious possession of the janibalaya
staff was its adopted mascot "Doc," who was the only
happy one around during deadline week.

Under the brilliant leadership of William Weiss,
considerable staff additions and deletions and a run-ning

offered by the Tulane Theater Department. Tryouts
for any phase of the productions, cast or crew, are
open to the members of the student body, faculty and
staff.
The regular theatre season includes four major
productions under the direction of faculty members,
and three productions under the direction of graduate
students in partial fulfillment of the M.F.A. require-ments
in Theatre. The plays are produced in two in-timate,
air-conditioned theatres—a proscenium thea-tre
and an arena theatre.
In addition to participating in the productions,
students also aid in the organization and supei-vision
of the theatre's social activities such as the annual
awards banquet where outstanding students receive
recognition for their superior contributions to various
phases of drama. Upon completion of the Sophomore
year and the. requirements for membership, a student
may be elected to Tulane's chapter of Pi Epsilon Delta,
an honorary dramatic fraternity.

persuasion, the group accepted the invitation and re-ceived
rave notices for its thirty performances, includ-ing
