Leadership
If I were to characterize my phi-losophy
of leadership—what I hope
to instill in students, faculty, staff
and administrators — it would be
the need to strive for personal excel-lence.
I believe each of us should be free
to achieve at a level consistent with
our ability and imagination; to de-fine
goals which stretch us intellec-tually;
to reject complacency and
stagnation; to cultivate our natural
curiosity no matter what our job.
In short, we should all be able to
work in an environment where high
expectations are encouraged and
where a job well-done is rewarded.
To achieve this objective, I favor a
decentralized administration based
on the assumption that those most
closely connected to a particular
area of Tulane — academic or ad-ministrative
— are most knowl-edgeable
about its needs and prob-lems.
However, I am ever mindful
that we are a university, and that
designation implies a singleness of
purpose.
One of my personal challenges,
therefore, is to reconcile the legiti-mate
interests and concerns of our
separate academic and administra-tive
divisions with the overriding ne-cessity
to function as one education-al
institution, to seek accommoda-tion
rather than confrontation
wherever possible.
As President, I believe that chief
among my responsibilities is setting
a clear example of my own commit-ment
to Tulane and communicating
what we are about to alumni and
friends, faculty and students, staff
and administration, corporate lead-ers
and foundation heads.
Warmth and hospitality are
woven into the fabric of life here,
and I believe that this supportive en-vironment
is one of our greatest as-sets.
Accordingly, I try to demon-strate
the spirit I feel for Tulane to
all of our constituents; it is a task I
enjoy immensely.

Student Involvement
This year Tulane students were
busy singing, tutoring, debating,
partying, planning, helping, and
generally enjoying themselves.
Campus organizations thrived
this year with increased member-ships.
The leaders of these organiza-tions
were generally a close group
who provided a positive and enthusi-astic
attitude towards student in-volvement.
The largest (and probably most
visible) diversion was the Greek sys-tem.
About 40 percent of the under-graduate
student body belongs to
these spirited groups.
They participated in a variety of
activities: Greek Week, mixers.
Children's Hospital Fair, campus
service activities. Fall and Spring
formals, painting (and repainting)
local elementary schools, and rais-ing
money for their national chari-ties.
There seemed to be no doubt that
going Greek was once again "the
thing to do."
Membership in fraternities and
sororities, and other campus organi-zations,
was definitely on the in-crease.
CACTUS had a record year
and TUCP increased its member-ship.
The Direction staff's early ad-vertising
and preparation paid off
when they sold out every night for
the first time in years.
Involved students debated the
student salaries issue, recognition of
the young Americans for Freedom
and stadium site utilization. It was
gratifying to see students arguing
and caring about these and other
problems that arose on campus. A
college experience should be more
than academics because much
knowledge can be learned outside of
a classroom, and at Tulane it was.

Competition
Competition is a difficult word to
define, primarily because it means
different things to different people.
For those in the business communi-ty,
it may simply mean the conflict
that two opposing parties may expe-rience
in an effort to secure the busi-ness
of a third party. Competition
arises for students as we strive to
attain higher grades or academic
honors than those of our peers. With
unemployment figures soaring, we
realize that we will someday be
forced to compete in the "job mar-ket."
Nevertheless, usually the first
thing one ponders with the mention
of the word competition, is sports.
College sports and the competi-tion
therein, plays such a large role
in our college education that it
would do well for each of us to un-derstand
the competitive forms that
college athletes encounter. Athletic
competition can be described suc-cintly
as a contest between rivals.
Little debate exists as to whether or
not competition can be positive, but
it can adversely affect some athletes.
Whereas intense competition causes
some to perform at peak levels, oth-ers
fail to cope with the competitive
pressure, and are not able to dupli-cate
the performances that they give
when the pressure to win is mini-mized.
Besides providing a challenge,
competition allows the athlete to
test his skills against others in an
effort to determine which individual
(or team) has achieved a better mas-tery
of the specified skills. In college
sports today, this testing of skills,
termed a contest or game, often re-sembles
a small scale war.
As students who desire excellence
from our athletic teams, possessing
a "win at all costs" attitude surely is
not the answer. Hopefully, college
athletics will soon provide an envi-ronment
where the way in which one
competes supersedes the actual win-ning
or losing.

Entertainment
A convoy of cars leaves the Tu-lane
campus for Baton Rouge or
downtown New Orleans or a local
bar. Students stay on campus and
rush the doors of McAlister, Dixon
Hall, or the Cram Room.
Everybody seeks some form of en-tertainment
and New Orleans and
the surrounding area provide plenty
of it! Most shows are sold out well
before showtime whether it be the
well known Rolling Stones in the
Superdome, a Broadway show in the
Saenger, a Riverboat concert, or the
lesser known Joan Armatrading in
Tulane's own Auditorium.
The past year has been the best
for entertainment in New Orleans
because innovative promoters tried
many new ideas and brought proven
forms of entertainment, on a large
scale, to the area.
All of this activity is in addition to
the more established forms of enter-tainment
already in existence such
as Mardi Gras and The Jazz and
Heritage Festival. Top Broadway
shows came to the Saenger; the Or-chestra
and Ballet enjoyed in-creased
popularity within the Tu-lane
Student Body.
The Fine Arts committee of the
Tulane University Center Program
presented Marcel Marceau as part
of its series. Riverboat concerts had
a temendous revival this past year in
addition to the many bars which
brought national talent to Uptown
New Orleans.
The center for entertainment in
the Uptown area is still the Tulane
Campus. In addition to the many
student productions, the nationally
known Direction program takes
place each spring on campus. Tu-lane
University Center Program
provides the rest of the entertain-ment
from a Pretenders concert to
the Frank Holder Dance Company
to the many parties highlighting lo-cal
talent.
This was the best year for enter-tainment
that New Orleans has had
in quite a while. Now established as
one of the primary entertainment
markets in America, even better
years should follow for New Or-leans.

Academic Excellence
Tulane University has changed its
curriculum. We have structured it
more firmly and added greater vari-ety
to make it more stimulating and
useful to you.
The new curriculum will also
mean your bachelor's degree from
Tulane is more valuable in the com-petition
for jobs and for professional
school admission that you will face
in 1985.
The university has stiffened its
proficiency requirements in math,
English, and a foreign language.
These standards will ensure that ev-ery
graduate meets a specific level
of competence in each of the areas.
This is a bold step but one which,
we are convinced, is bound to be
widely emulated by other leading
universities and colleges. We have
already received a favorable re-sponse
from representatives of pro-fessional
schools and prospective
employers.
We have also instituted a new
general curriculum. That means ev-ery
student will have some knowl-edge
about the natural world, cul-tures
and societies, aesthetics, and
values, in addition to intensive study
in a major field.
We have changed Tulane's cur-riculum
... to make it better for
you.

10 Academic Excellence
Fiscal Responsibility
The importance of support and
involvement of Tulane and New-comb
graduates cannot be overem-phasized.
The financial support of
the university through giving to the
Alumni Fund is vital to the oper-ation
of Tulane.
The unrestricted gifts we receive
go directly to support the operations
of the university. This is the money
that pays salaries, cuts grass, and
lights buildings. It's the lifeblood of
the university and its importance
cannot be overlooked by adminis-trators,
alumni, or students.
One of our major goals at the
Alumni Fund Office is to communi-cate
a feeling of responsibility to our
alumni — a desire to invest in the
future of the university so that Tu-lane
can provide generations of stu-dents
the same opportunities it has
offered to its students for nearly 1 50
years.
Often many students are involved
in the solicitation of alumni through
our Student Foundation or student
phonathons, and they learn, even
before the first letter arrives from
our office following their gradu-ations,
the importance of commit-ment
and ongoing support of the
university.
Programs like our student phon-athons,
"Hotline" and "Spring
Ring," make students (future alum-ni)
aware of the importance of an-nual
support in the functioning of a
private institution. Through insight
gained by working on the other side
of the fund raising fence, these stu-dent
volunteers often become some
of our most dedicated and generous
alumni.
Their support continues long
after their evenings in the phon-athon
room in the back of the Alum-ni
House are over and our gratitude
to them continues long after they
have graduated.

Residential Living
Throughout the years, students
living in campus housing have pro-fessed
to do so for one of two rea-sons:
that either the convenience or
the established friendships
outweighted the problems of the
residence halls.
But recent changes and renova-tions
have made living on campus
just a litle bit nicer.
For the first time at Tulane an
experimental hall program was
started. Residents in one floor of
Warren House and two floors of
Sharp, planned, painted, and select-ed
carpeting for their living areas.
Residents on a floor in Butler en-circled
their hall with a graphic.
Students were allowed to paint mu-rals
in their rooms, and build lofts.
In many cases, once permission was
granted, it was "anything goes"!
And in a move that affected even
more residents, the Newcomb and
Tulane Resident Councils were
again made stronger, and began
participating jointly in projects.
Pressure was taken off the resident
advisors as house councils took a
more active part in programming.
An even more visible change was
the start of maintenance that had
been long-planned by the Depart-ment
of Residential Life. Furniture
in Josephine Louise House was re-finished,
many residence halls re-ceived
new lounge furniture, rooms
got new blinds and furniture, and
painting programs were begun.
Living in a dorm still was not like
home, but it was on its way.

Women's dorm bathrooms are especially crowded be-fore
9:00 a.m. classes and before Friday and Saturday
night dates.

Graduation
Having been a Tulane "faculty
brat" for most of my growing-up
years, I first saw Tulane through a
child's eyes, without really under-standing
its significance nor its
reputation.
I remember coming on campus at
age six with my father and marvel-ling
at those tall and mature men
and women with heavy, thick books.
I never thought I could be one of
them. Yet, a long but short twelve
years later, I finally became one of
those "kids" my parents were al-ways
talking about.
I felt more than mere satisfaction
at reaching adulthood. I wanted to
draw out from my college years as
much as I possibly could.
One of the most important things
I learned is that I know so little. It
was at graduation, while listening to
the speeches about "my turn to en-ter
the real world," that I began to
feel so dwarfed by those who had
preceeded me.
I identified with the same senti-ment
Mark Twain expressed about
his father: "when I was 1 8, 1 thought
how little my professors knew.
When I was 21,1 marvelled at how
much they had learned in three
short years."
Nevertheless, just as Tennyson's
Ulysses postulated, "I am part of all
that I have met," so too I feel that all
of my experiences at Tulane have
molded me into the individual I am
today; I cannot forget either New-comb
or Tulane because they are
now part of my being.

A Message from the President
One year ago, writing of my aspi-rations
from Tuiane, I stated my
personal commitment to insuring
Tulane's primacy among Southern
private universities and to securing
its position as a national resource.
In the intervening twelve months,
there have been many encouraging
developments at Tuiane, and I be-lieve
that we are well on our way to
achieving these goals.
Through its Five Year Plan, Tu-iane
has committed itself to work
for dramatic improvement in vital
areas desperately in need of atten-tion.
Our faculty remains seriously un-derpaid,
and our library acquisitions
lag far behind comparable universi-ties;
moreover, the University cur-rently
suffers from a backlog of de-ferred
maintenance totalling about
$17 million.
Over the next five years, there-fore,
we are committed to raising
the average faculty salary to the me-dian
level of the American Associ-ation
of Universities and we are
committed to improving our li-brary's
position relative to our peer
institutions.
We can point to some successes.
No summary can capture an entire
year. A broad stroke at best suggests
the complete portrait.
For some, I suspect the two high-lights
of the year were a drubbing of
LSU in football and in basketball
four months later.
For others, the highlights may
have been visits to our campus by
Jorge Luis Borges, Polish poet Czes-law
Milosz, John Kenneth Gal-braith
and William F Buckley; and
Robert Massie, a noted biographical
historian who taught and lectured at
Tuiane during the fall semester.
Tuiane is many different things to
its alumni and friends, staff, stu-dents,
faculty, and administration.
The University is complex.
Next year, we will shift our atten-tion
to long-range concerns: What
will Tuiane look like in the 1990's
and into the year 2000? This focus
compels us to ask the most funda-mental
questions about the nature
of society and what it means to be
educated.
Such planning cannot be com-pleted
in a month or in a year, or
even in five years, but rather looking
outward to insure that the institu-tion
remains responsive to society's
needs.

Deans
"Being a dean is more chal-lenging
and demanding than
teaching. A teacher is a self-start-er,
whereas a dean must deal with
external stimuli."
Paul Verkuil told that to The
Hullabaloo in September, 1978,
shortly after he was named dean
of Tulane's Law School. Since
that time, Verkuil has met the
challenges and demands rather
well.
The Law School is one of the
foremost in the country, accord-ing
to Verkuil. He boldly makes
this claim in spite of a cramped
Law School building and recent
national budget cuts.
Based on admissions scores and
grade point averages Verkuil
places Tulane in the country's top
twenty-five law schools. "Only 21
other schools have a higher
GPA," he said.
Productivity of the faculty in
terms of published works and a
library with over 700,000 vol-umes
also bolster Verkuil's claim.
An important member of the
cadre of deans who form the top
echelon of Tulane's administra-tion,
Verkuil is well aware of the
threat posed by budget cuts and a
declining college age population.
To help continue the Law
School's academic success, Ver-kuil
hopes to draw more money
into the school through alumni
donations, particularly in the
form of scholarships. These schol-arships
will be necessary to at-tract
high quality students as gov-ernment
loans become scarce.
And despite national trends,
the Law School's admissions ac-tually
increased by 1 5 percent last
year. This makes Verkuil optimis-tic
for the future.
"I feel we're on the right
track," he said. "If we can receive
continued support from our alum-ni
as well as the administration, I
see no reason why we can't main-tain
the level that we have
achieved thus far."
Verkuil believes that Tulane's
reputation for teaching Civil Law
is a major attraction to perspec-tive
students, although some peo-ple
are turned off by the dual cur-riculum.
"The reality, of course, is that if
you come here from out of state
and have no desire to practice in
Louisiana, you can be educated
just as well anywhere," he said.
"But," maintained Verkuil,
"being exposed to another legal
system is an important bonus stu-dents
receive at Tulane."
Verkuil has been dean just
slightly longer than most students
attending the school, but he can
point to a job well done. He has no
immediate plans for leaving Tu-lane,
he is quite content with his
job here. And needless to say, Tu-lane
Law seems quite content
with him.

School's financial standing while on a tour of
selected Louisiana cities to meet Business School
alumnae.

"The history of sponsored re-search
at Tulane closely resem-bles
the history of the Titanic,"
according to Gene D'Amour, di-rector
of sponsored projects at
Tulane.
In 1 960, Tulane ranked 22nd of
all universities in the amount of
external funding received for re-search
and development. By
1979, Tulane bottomed out at
116th.
D'Amour believes the Univer-sity
simply lost its entreprenural
spirit. In fact, the office of spon-sored
research was actually elimi-nated
at one point in the late 70s.
Another crucial factor in Tu-lane's
decline was that the Medi-cal
School began construction of
a new hospital. This activity
drained much of their resources
and severely affected Tulane's
search for research funds because
the Medical School usually
brings in the majority of research
monies.
Since these funds are so impor-tant
to the University, Tulane de-cided
to re-establish the Office Of
Sponsored Projects. In the fall of
1980, D'Amour went to work.
"The idea was for this office to
pick itself up by the bootstraps,
but we didn't even have the boot-straps,"
D'Amour recalled. "Not
only was there nothing here, but
there were all kinds of barriers to
doing research. We had to tear
down the barriers and start con-structing
systems to help faculty."
The job of helping the faculty
can be divided into two areas, pre-award
phase, D'Amour has estab-lished
a grants information sys-tem.
Through this system the fac-ulty
is made aware of available
grants through newsletters, spe-
"The idea was for this
office to pick itself up
by the bootstraps, but
we didn't even have
the bootstraps."
cial announcements, consultant
services and workshops.
And once a faculty member has
decided to seek a grant,
D'Amour's office has developed a
new proposal routing procedure
to help them apply for the money.
D'Amour and his staff have
been working on an extensive
post-award program to help fac-ulty
through the red tape of ad-ministering
research funds.
Although he still has much
more work before him, D'Amour
can happily point to impressive
results from his efforts. He re-ported
that 128 faculty members
requested 222 grants for $14 mil-lion
in 1980-81. This is dramati-cally
up from 1979-80, when only
88 faculty members placed 137
applications for $9 million.
The application rate is holding
steady in 1981-82, he added.

26 Business School
School of Business
Early in its history, Tulane's
School of Business acquired a
reputation for being innovative,
lively and a magnet for the area's
best and brightest students.
Founded in 1 9 1 4 by Dean Mor-ton
A. Aldrich, the school offered
a Bachelor of Business Adminis-tration
Program and, beginning
in 1 940, a Master of Business Ad-ministration
Program.
The Bachelor of Business Ad-ministration,
discontinued in
1964, was reinstated in 1976 as
the Bachelor of Science in Man-agement
(BSM).
"The school is now graduating
more students than in the 1950's
and '60's," said finance professor
Dr. James Murphy.
"In fact, the post-war graduat-ing
class was the only time the
number of students has been
greater than it is now."
The application rate is the
highest ever and extra classes
have been added to meet the
growing demand.
The school's first graduating
BSM class after reinstatement to-talled
40. That number has
jumped to 111 graduating this
year and 150 students are being
admitted for next year's class.
"It's growing by leaps and
bounds," says academic programs
coordinator Martha Little,
"which shows we made the right
decision in reinstating it. It looks
like it'll be a stable, steady pro-gram."
Little said the undergraduate
business major is currently the
most popular one on campus.
Now, as it has always been, the
school is interested in innovation.
Computer games are utilized and
though they may seem new to the
rest of the world, they're actually
old hat at Tulane.
Way back in 1963 Tulane was
holding one of the first symposia
on the subject; there is a Commu-nication
Skills Center, a comput-er
laboratory and a Decision
Room, which houses video screen
computer terminals for various
projects and course work.
The intensive two-year pro-gram
which every BSM candi-date
takes is so varied and wide-ranging
in its appeal that students
from a number of different back-grounds
are beginning to find
their way in.
It's not unusual to find former
art majors in accounting classes
and former English students go-ing
into finance.
"We're attracting a variety of
really bright students," said Mar-tha
Little. "And companies are
beginning to woo our undergrad-uates
— they're able to get jobs
all over."
"We're on the cutting edge of
business knowledge," Assistant
Dean Chastian Taurman, III says
of the school. Murphy believes
the school is "always asking ques-tions"
and that, in a way it's never
been before, it's now poised to
meet the needs of a growing city
and a burgeoning South.
Norman Mayer Hall, home for Tulane's School of
Business, will undergo a facelift before the 1982-83
academic year.

28 Engineering
The Tulane Engineering school
has just emerged from a decade of
sustained growth. If the market is
indicative, the Tulane Engineer-ing
school has a good record. The
average salary for an Engineering
Graduate is a staggering $27,000.
This growth is due to an in-crease
in the academic quality of
the students. The school searches
for 245 high quality freshmen to
enroll in the Engineering School.
Fully 25 percent of the class is
female. The Engineering school
has provided excellent career op-portunities
for women as well as
men.
According to Engineering
Dean Hugh A. Thompson, soci-ety
is moving towards the devel-opment
of a postgraduate engi-neering
program. Right now
graduates cannot afford to con-tinue
their education and go right
into the job market.
This has led to a shortage of
faculty. There will be no solution
to this problem until society pays
faculty more. It takes six years to
produce a PhD, six years of not
being employed.
The only answer, it seems, is to
increase faculty salaries to the
point where the University pays
more than industry for a PhD.
This way the investment made by
the professors will be repayed.
Currently, the Engineering
school is divided into six major
divisions. These are Biomedical,
Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Me-chanical
and Computer Science.
The school's goal is to graduate
35 seniors in each field.
Mr. Thompson notes that Tu-lane's
size is optimal for interac-tion
between the divisions, and
the Engineering school interacts
well. For example. Engineering
students often go on to Law or
Business school. If Tulane was a
larger institution, he added, there
would be administrative barriers
between the divisions.
What lies in the next decade for
the Engineering School? Dean
Thompson points out that the
technological rate of progress
staggers the imagination. The ad-vancements
in artificial intelli-gence
and robotics are as unbe-lievable
as landing a man on the
moon was a few years ago.
Growth has actually been cur-tailed
by lack of classroom space.
But hopefully, fundraising will
add more space, expand oper-ations,
and provide new pro-grams.
The Tulane Engineering
school will have more growth in
research, and rise in National sta-tus,
he said.

30 Architecture
Architecture
Since it takes Architecture stu-dents
five years to get the same
degree that other students get
after four, you'd expect them to
be doing something special —
and they are.
Under the guidance of Dean
Ronald Filson, Tulane's School of
Architecture has been plotting
the future of the University. Fac-ulty
members and students have
completed the beginning of a four
phase plan designed to utilize the
stadium site, and improve exist-ing
facilities and grounds.
Original plans, formed by an
outside architecture firm in 1978,
advised the development of con-dominiums
on the stadium site.
Concern over that kind of a rec-ommendation
led Tulane's ad-ministration
to look within the
University. The School of Archi-tecture
was hired to design a plan
for Tulane that would have the
objectives of the university in
mind.
A project team composed of
five faculty members and six stu-dent
members immediately went
to work, evaluating the condition
of existing campus structures,
conducting numerous interviews
with students, faculty, and ad-ministrators,
to find out what
they perceived as the most critical
problems, and prioritizing the
needs of the growing university.
Although using resources with-in
the university seems to be a
sound idea, it is not a common
practice. "It's a very progressive
idea," stated David Walter, one of
the students involved in the pro-ject.
"Tulane is one of the first
schools to use its architecture
school in this capacity."
Filson and his task force ob-served
that Tulane had been con-stantly
expanding and changing
with no real plan for the future.
"Part of the problem," explained
Filson, "was the lack of a day to
day, comprehensive planning pro-cedure.
There had been no guide-lines."
Filson's group determined
to create a plan for Tulane.
The students involved in the
project were instrumental during
the preliminary work. "We did a
lot of the basic things; interview-ing
faculty and surveying build-ings,"
Walter said.
Yet the way that the team was
set up, both faculty and students
had input into the planning
stages.
"The way we arranged it,"
Walter explained, "there was a lot
of wide-ranging discussion. We
had as much input as any faculty
member."
Although the four phase plan
has been completed, Filson is not
sure just how much of the plan
will be followed by the university
in the future. He does believe,
though, that Tulane will take ad-vantage
of the work of its own stu-dents
and faculty, and possibly in-clude
them in future plans.

32 Public Policy
Since its inception in 1978, the
Center for Public Policy Studies
has been a special branch of Tu-lane's
academics.
One of only eight such centers
in the United States, and one of
three in the south, the Center ex
amines the implications of gov-ernmental
policy.
The department grants degrees
in public policy, with many of its
students enrolled in other studies,
especially in political science and
economics.
The study of public policy
found its birth at Tulane in a
group of faculty members which
met and garnered funds for the
center from the Sloan Founda-tion.
In July, 1978 the Center was
established.
Besides interest in government
workings on the national level,
the Center for Public Policy Stud-ies
has become involved in city
politics. In the heat of the New
Orleans mayoral contest, the
Center co-sponsored a televised
debate between incumbent Er-nest
N. "Dutch" Morial and chal-lenger
Ron Faucheux.
Guy Peters, head of the Center,
stated that "There needed to be
some sort of televised confronta-tion."
Because of election laws,
television stations were prohibit-ed
from sponsoring the debate.
"It became clear that we should
sponsor it." Peters explained.
In addition to the debate, the
Center for Public Policy Studies
held Metropolitan Leadership
programs — six sessions for up-and-
coming leaders of the com-munity.
At the workshops, cur-rent
city leaders were available to
give new leaders insights and in-formation.
Through programs like the de-bate
and leadership seminars, the
Center for Public Policy Studies
plans to become more involved in
the public policy of New Orleans.

pointed comments.

34 Classics
To some Tulane students the
term "Hooked on Classics" con-jures
up images of Bach, Beetho-ven,
Bernstein, and a hit record.
But to chairman Joe Park Poe and
the rest of the Classics Depart-ment,
the saying reflects their in-terest
that they are sharing with
others at Tulane, New Orleans
and the rest of the world.
The Department received city-wide
acclaim and international
publicity in late 1981 when it
sponsored along with the New
Orleans Museum of Art an exhib-it
of ancient Greek vases from col-lections
across the South.
The Department continued
their promotion of Classics in the
community by sponsoring an
open symposium on Alexander
the Great, which tied in with the
extremely popular NOMA
"Search for Alexander" exhibit.
Working jointly with the Muse-um,
former Mellon professor
Alan Shapiro initially formulated
the idea of an exhibit of Greek
vases presently held in regional
collections.
The NOMA show followed two
similar regional shows; Greek
vases from New England Collec-tions
(held in Boston), and Greek
vases from Mid-Western Collec-tions
(in Chicago). The exhibit
showcased examples of Greek
pottery, while at the same time
providing publication of a catalog
of the works.
This catalog, together with
those of other regional exhibits,
will be used as research material
in most every major library in the
world and will represent many of
the most significant Greek vases
in the United States.
The show was especially well
received in the New Orleans area.
"As far as I could see, the re-sponse
in the city to the Greek
vase show was spectacular," said
professor Poe.
Coming on the heels of the vase
exhibit, NOMA—sponsored
"Search for Alexander" exhibit
generated popular interest, spur-ring
the Classics Department to
sponsor a series of public lectures
on the great Greek conqueror.
The lectures were held in April
and focused on the importance
and tradition of Alexander, espe-cially
his impact on the cultures
that followed him.
Although the department has
increased its visibility city-wide,
the core still remains a small, co-hesive
group of professors and
students. Interest, though, has
been generated by an increased
number of courses that are being
offered through cross-registration
with other departments. Classics
courses are now being offered
through the History, Art History,
and Archeology departments.
Because of this, more students
tnan ever are taking Classics
courses, exposing themselves to
the history of different cultures,
and finding out, like members of
the community have, what it
means to be "hooked on classics."
Robert G. Cook, Professor of English, spoke in
Richardson Auditorium at the first lecture in the
Legacy of Alexander series, spring semester.

"The admission procedure any
Tulane student must complete
holds true for all varsity sports
athletes, contrary to what many
believe," says Michael Thomp-son,
Associate Director of Admis-sions
at Tulane.
Many of the athletes are ad-mitted
to University College to
pursue majors in Physical Educa-tion
where there is a lower entry
level. For admission, an athlete is
also placed in a special category,
along with alumni children and
other special interest individuals.
A problem some athletes en-counter
is making the grades to
remain eligible in their sport.
Mike Thompson explained that
the major problem occurs when
an athlete, recognized as possess-ing
superior talents has been
"channeled through a system that
allows them just to go through
school and not develop needed
study skills before coming here."
Thompson cited other disad-vantages
for an athlete being the
length of practices as well as road
trips and special workout ses-sions.
Ken Wenn, Academic Advisor
of University College Students
and employed part-time by the
Athletic Department to advise all
athletes, reported that motivation
and lack of attendance in class are
reasons for poor performance.
To counteract academic prob-lems
there is a required study hall
for two hours Sunday through
Thursday at which tutors are pro-vided
The basketball program, to en-courage
better academic perfor-mance,
requires its players to
have a form filled out by their
teachers commenting on aca-demic
progress and class atten-dance.
With all these safeguards for
good academic performance
some athletes still are put on aca-demic
probation. Mike Thomp-son
explained that "There is not a
difference here between a student
and an athlete regarding proba-tion,
only that an athlete stands
out more."
Tulane is designed so probation
is a warning the first time to im-prove.
If improvement is not
made an athlete can lose his eligi-bility
to participate in his respec-tive
sport.
In regard to this Savlny ex-pressed
that "We're concerned
but not ready to push the power
button," and that the "summer
budget is set and we are not going
to send those (players) to summer
school everytime they get in trou-ble."
The budget does not allow
for players to take classes this
summer.
Savlny did point out that "In
the last 20 years only 2 players
have not graduated and we are
not going to let that percentage go
down, and the players know this."

38 ]YA
Junior Year Abroad
"No man can really understand
his own country until he looks at it
from the outside, nor understand
another country until he some-how
gets inside it."
This is what Dr. John Hubbard
had in mind when he initiated the
Junior Year Abroad program for
Newcomb juniors twenty-eight
years ago.
Dr. Hubbard, then Dean of
Newcomb College, believed that
"living in another culture is im-portant,
but what we were equally
concerned with was what the
American student would learn
about his own country and his
own individual self."
Students have varying reac-tions
towards their experiences
abroad. Some comment on the
different perspectives that JYA
provided them while others stress
the enrichment of their educa-tional
and cultural lives.
One Newcomb senior, com-menting
on her Junior year in
Spain, explained that "while
some of the facilities are not the
cleanest in Europe, the total expe-rience
was incomparable."
In fact, some JYA'ers have been
so taken with the program that
they later went back to live. Some
even just stayed overseas. While
these cases are few, a little bit of
the country studied in never
leaves the JYA student.
Fresh off the plane, in a new
world, the JYA student is imme-diately
oriented into a new cul-ture
before having to deal with
academics.
In all countries except Great
Britain, language proficiency is
required and tests are given dur-ing
this orientation period to as-sure
that students understand
what is being taught.
This obviously does not apply
within the British empire; howev-er,
standards for admittance are
much tougher.
To be accepted to the JYA pro-gram,
a student must have at least
a 3.0 GPA and pass a series of
stringent interviews.
To be accepted to the Great
Britain program (including Brit-ain,
Scotland, Wales and now Ire-land,)
the applicant must have at
least a 3.3 GPA. Applications are
not even given to those not meet-ing
these requirements.
Interviews are conducted by
Tulane faculty members and Sen-iors
who have participated in the
program. Once past these inter-views,
the applicant is accepted in
December of his Sophomore year.
Students must maintain their
grade point average the second
semester, or be rejected.
Returning to school at Tulane
after spending a year abroad can
be as alien as going away. Even a
culturally-rich city such like New
Orleans seems an eternity of dif-ference
when compared to the
moors of Wales or the mountains
of south France.
A former JYA student best
sums up the program. "Perhaps
different perspectives are the key
words. Adapting to a different
culture cannot help but cause a
re-evaluation of the past, affect
the present, and perhaps restruc-ture
future ideas and actions."

40 Computerization
Death and taxes are inescap-able
facets of life, and, at least at
Tulane, so are computers.
The university's first computer
was installed at the School of
Business in 1958 and since then
Tulane's system has grown and
multiplied to astronomical pro-portions.
University officials esti-mate
that 50 per cent of the stu-dents
who attend Tulane will use
computers in some academic
form, and every student will be
touched by the system in some
way or another.
In fact, students are "in the sys-tem"
before they attend their first
class. The Tulane and Newcomb
Admissions offices use computers
to screen potential applicants.
And after a student is accepted,
he becomes further mired in the
system.
The Financial Aid Office also
makes extensive use of the com-puter.
At any time, the Office can
scan any file and determine all
the important information it
needs. The system can even deter-mine
the amount of a student's
aid package, according to pre-programmed
instructions.
There is a direct line between
the Financial Aid Office and an-other
important office of Tulane,
Accounts Receivable. This office
has been using computers since
1960, and is now in the process of
updating its system.
The billing office will no longer
sag two months behind, and fas-ter
billing means faster payment.
The Accounts Receivable Office
can now also prepare reports for
other offices, such as Financial
Aid or the University Registrar.
Before the age of computers,
transcripts were kept in files.
Each new semester meant pulling
out all the files, sticking on a new
transcript label, and refiling the
transcript. Now, transcripts are
updated every night, and new re-cords
can be available the next
day.
The Registrar's Office contains
students' records for all 1
1
schools, and holds the permanent
records for all but the Law
School. Terminals are even in-stalled
in the deans' offices.
In fact, the system does much
more than hold records. It can
calculate who is taking too many
classes, and who is not taking
enough. In fact, the computer can
do anything that would be re-quired
by officials, including the
production of federal reports to
let the government know where
funds are being allocated.
The administration is not the
only beneficiary of the comput-ers.
The library is also in the pro-cess
of installing a new computer
system. It is specificially adapted
for the library's special needs, and
the medical library, law library,
and the business library will even-tually
all be connected.
Dialing from home has become commonplace after
the implementation of 1 dial-up lines. Students do

42 Student Services
The goal of the Division of Stu-dent
Services is to create an envi-ronment
for students which pro-vides
maximum opportunities for
personal, social, cultural and
spiritual maturity as a comple-ment
to the structured intellectu-al
experiences offered in the class-room.
This enriched environment is
provided through programs, ser-vices,
and less structured learning
experiences in the following
areas: Student Activities, Student
Government, Career Planning
and Placement, Club and Intra-mural
Sports, Community Action
Council of Tulane Students
(CACTUS), Counseling and
Testing Center, Dean of Students
Office, Fraternity Affairs, Fresh-man
Orientation, International
Student Center, Residential Life,
Student Records and Registra-tion,
and Tulane Dining Services.
The theme "Making Tulane a
Better Place to Live" was heard
often this year as Student Ser-vices'
Departments underwent re-decoration,
renovation, and self-evaluation.
Physical facilities im-provements
occurred in the
Residence Halls, University Cen-ter,
Rathskellar, Cafeteria, Deli,
and Bruff Commons.
Dr. Bananas' Patio Oasis
opened its new location in the
University Center in April. The
stadium field received new artifi-cial
turf and lights were installed
to expand field usage.
Creation of a sense of commu-nity,
belonging, and self-determi-nation
of residents was the pur-pose
of the Experimental Project
conducted through the Office of
Residential Life.
This year, hall residents on the
third and eleventh floors of Mon-roe
and second floor of Warren
considered the physical, social
and programmatic needs of the
residents of their respective
floors, developed plans for
changes, and became involved in
the implementation of those
changes.
In other areas, a new Director
of the Counseling and Testing
Center was appointed and a doc-toral
intern added to the staff.
A major "first" was accom-plished
by the production of the
Tulane Index, a comprehensive
student handbook. The Index will
be an important information
source for students on all phases
of University life.
The Tulane Emergency Medi-cal
Service (TEMS) was created
through an innovative joint effort
of the Dean of Students Office,
CACTUS, Health Services, Se-curity,
and Student Foundation.
Staffed entirely by student volun-teers
who are professionally
trained and certified in emergen-cy
medical and rescue proce-dures,
TEMS responded to health
related emergenices on campus
and provided ambulance service
to local hospitals.
Student Services embarked on
an ambitious, self-evaluation pro-gram
designed to assess its status
and needs, develop goals, and
plan its future direction. A Task
Force was established to inter-view
Student Services staff, stu-dents,
faculty, deans, and other
administrators, and to finalize a
plan of action for the future direc-tion
of Student Services.

44 Residential Life
Making Tulane a Better Place to Live
For years, the concept of resi-dential
living was a narrow one.
Residence halls were referred to
as dormitories and students
moved in buildings with the ex-pectation
that they would simply
have a place to sleep and eat.
Tulane's Department of Resi-dential
Life supports a much
more extensive definition of resi-dential
living. They believe that
an individual's experience in a liv-ing
environment on campus
should complement the academic
sector of the University.
Residence halls at Tulane are
places where students can develop
intellectually, socially, physically,
and culturally. It is a time for in-dividuals
to examine and evaluate
their present needs, morals, val-ues,
career objectives, friend-ships,
etc.
The Residential Life staff fa-cilitates
this development
through the services and pro-grams
it offers. The past year fo-cused
on physical improvements
within the residence halls.
Extensive maintenance and
custodial work was done over the
summer to prepare for the stu-dents'
return to campus. Many
areas were painted, furniture was
refinished, windows were steam
cleaned, blinds and furniture was
reupholstered, carpeting was in-stalled,
etc. This commitment
continued throughout the year
with the establishment of 3 Ex-perimental
Areas.
The Experimental Areas are
located on the second floor of
Warren House, and on the fifth
and eleventh floors of Monroe.
Residents living in these areas
were given an opportunity to initi-ate
and implement improvements
within their area.
For the coming year. Residen-tial
Life intends to continue to en-hance
residence halls physically
and also to enhance the program-matic
aspect of Residential Life.
Resident Council will have a
fresh, new image next year as all
1 6 residence halls will be joined in
their efforts to program for the
residence hall community.
Resident Council will coordi-nate
House Council programs
and will also initiate and imple-ment
programs of their own de-signed
to bring the entire resident
population together.
The major change in campus
living, and one which will have a
significant affect on the system
will be the change in personnel
and structure within the Residen-tial
Life Office. Next year the po-sitions
of the Director of Men's
Housing and Director of Wom-en's
Housing will be combined
into one position — Assistant Di-rector
for Residence Life.
In addition, 3 professional peo-ple
will be hired as Area Coordin-ators.
They will live in the resi-dence
halls thereby providing im-mediate
and continuous
accessibility and professional ex-pertise
to the residents, and stu-dent
staff.
The addition of live-in profes-sionals
will greatly enhance Tu-lane's
Residential Life program
by enabling students to be in-volved
in many aspects of residen-tial
living presently untried. The
Residential Life Staff is commit-ted
to providing an atmosphere
conducive to effective group liv-ing.

46 Development
Development
Money—it's the key to Tulane
reaching its potential as a Univer-sity
par excellence. The Universi-ty
has made fund raising one of its
major activities in the past few
years, and results are pouring in.
Tulane has been receiving more
money from alumni, individuals,
corporations and foundations;
consequently the University is on
the way to overcoming its low en-dowment
and is no longer operat-ing
on a deficit.
Tulane's budget was balanced
in 1979-80 for the first time in 25
years, and has stayed balanced.
According to Vice President for
development and alumni affairs
Warren Johnson, University Pre-side
Eamon Kelly's unflagging
enthusiasm and managerial ex-pertise
have created a climate fa-vorable
for fund raising.
Making people aware of Tu-lane
is the first step toward in-creasing
donations. The Alumni
Fund pursues this goal by remind-ing
graduates — from the mo-ment
they receive their diplomas — that Tulane cannot prosper
without their financial support.
Alumni are asked to donate
through the mail, in person and
during annual phonathons. Ac-cording
to Alumni Fund Director
Terry Jones, the fund runs on a
network of volunteers from each
graduating class, located in major
cities.
Jones is optimistic about reach-ing
campaign goals. "Now that
our budget is balanced, we can
tell alumni they're helping Tulane
grow, not just helping cover defi-cits.
It changes the whole tenor of
what we write and say," Jones
said.
The public relations arm of Tu-lane,
the Office of University Re-lations,
affects development by
making Tulane visible to the city
and the nation through the news
media.
Direct inputs come from the
Office of Development, headed
by Warren Johnson, which co-ordinates
all facets of fund rais-ing.
The office is split into
branches that work separately to
achieve the common goal of rais-ing
money. These branches work
with major donor prospects, cor-porations,
foundations, and local
businesses, and other areas.
The funds alumni donate will
strengthen the University in a
more direct way. Kelly and the
Board of Administrators have
outlined specific plans for the in-come.
Kelly wants to improve the
quality of the student body, which
means pouring more money into
existing academic programs and
creating new ones. He hopes to
raise faculty salaries and improve
the library, also to upgrade camp-us
maintenance by taking care of
all the projects the University had
put on hold.
People are looking at Tulane
differently. If the University is
successful in getting the money it
needs — and the prospects look
promising — Tulane will be well
on the way to fulfilling its dreams.
The crowning of the queen of Homecoming, Bar-bara
Bauman, is traditionally done by the Presi-dent
of the Alumni Association, Robert Young.

Admissions
Things were not necessarily
looking up in Tulane's Office of
Admissions.
Fred Zuker, the young director
of that office, resigned over the
summer, part of a large exodus of
top administrators.
But there was some reason for
optimism. First of all, Tulane had
a powerful new selling point, a
new curriculum.
Realizing that universities
must continually reassess their
programs to meet the demands of
students buying a more expensive
education, the faculties of Arts &
Sciences and Newcomb overcame
years of debate and agreed on a
joint curriculum.
The Admissions office stressed
the good points of the new cur-riculum,
but also that the joint
curriculum did not mean the two
colleges had neglected the special
interests of their different con-stituencies.
Newcomb College reaffirmed
its commitment to women's edu-cation,
the University Honors
Program supported the needs of
superior students who wish to ac-celerate
their studies or explore
certain topics in greater depth,
and Project Talent had a wide
range of opportunities open to ad-vanced
students.
High school seniors seemed to
like what the Admissions office
was telling them. This past year
was one in which Tulane accepted
the highest quality entering class
in recent history, screened from
the greatest number of applica-tions
ever received.
In fact, the American Council
on Education rated Tulane among
the 24 most highly selective pri-vate
universities in the nation.
One index of academic excellence
among applicants is S.A.T.
scores; last fall's entering students
averaged thirteen points higher
on these examinations than their
immediate predecessors.
Towards the end of the year Jill
Jonker was appointed Director of
Admissions, selected as the out-standing
applicant from among
30 candidates.
President Eamon Kelly said,
"She performed with competence
and integrity as Acting Director
of Admissions, and Tulane is for-tunate
to retain a person with her
skills and dedication in this im-portant
position."
Things were looking up by the
end of the year.

The Newcomb
Dance Club
"No experience necessary, just a
liking of dance"sums up the qualifi-cations
for membership in the New-comb
Dance Club. This organiza-tion,
founded over 40 years ago by
Frances Bush, exists solely to pro-mote
dance on the Tulane campus.
The club is divided into two
groups, one for modern dance and
the other for ballet. Both sections
work together throughout the year
on the Spring Concert, the main ac-tivity
of the organization. In the
concert, dancers perform numbers
choreographed by established danc-ers
and even some developed by
group members.
In addition to the Spring Concert,
the group sponsored Dance .Aware-ness
Week. This well-received pro-
Pickin' and Grinnin' — Modern dancers cxpcrimcnl
with new techniques of body communication
ject demonstrated and explained
various aspects of dance.
This year, the group benefited
from a Dance Outreach grant re-ceived
by Newcomb College. The
grant allowed Newcomb to bring in
professional dancers to conduct
workshops on campus.
Dan Maloney. the director of the
Mary .Anthony Company and a for-mer
member of the Martha Graham
company, was one of the guest art-ists.
He taught a group of avid par-ticipants

piece, "Boppin."

Controversy Dominates the ASB
Controversial topics dominated
the Associated Student Body's
agenda in the 1981-82 school year.
One of the most controversial is-sues
was the recognition of a new
student group, the Young Ameri-cans
for Freedom. Members of this
organization, a conservative politi-cal
action group, sought approval
from the ASB to operate on campus.
In a heated and close vote, the Sen-ate
said no.
But the group, bolstered by sup-port
from national figures such as
William F. Buckley, appealed their
case to the University Senate. Even
without the ASB Senate's nod, this
body overwhelmingly approved the
YAF
The ASB wrangled with student
salaries—again. The issue seemed
dead last year when the Senate ap-proved
a resolution in favor of sala-ries.
But a last-minute, year-end
grass roots effort dredged salaries
up again, this time abolishing them.
Debate concerning salaries was
no less confusing this year. Numer-ous
proposals were considered,
agreed upon, and then not agreed
upon.
Finally, the Senate agreed to es-tablish
a "motivation and recogni-tion"
fund to be divided among the
six boards of the ASB. This would
be the only compensation students
could receive for work in a student
activity.
Students tried their hand in Uni-versity
planning when the ASB con-sidered
a proposal for an intramural
sports center. The idea was for stu-dents
to fund the construction of a
student-operated sports center, with
building plans to be developed by
architecture students.
Of course, the ASB addressed less
controversial topics also. The ASB
answered complaints concerning the
University's new phone system, and
established a special Spirit Commit-tee.
The highlight of the commit-tee's
activities was blowing up 5000
green balloons which were released
at the Tulane-Vanderbilt football
game.
Dave Schneider was president for
most of the year. Cindee Schreiber
was vice president for administra-tion,
Lou Ann Atlas was vice presi-dent
for University affairs, Mauri
Cohen was vice president for aca-demic
affairs, and Pam Hochberg
was ASB Trustee.
Andy Werth was vice president
for finance until Spring elections
when he captured the ASB's top
spot. His cabinet consists of Pete
Edwards, VPA; Amy Pinsker,
VPUA; Michelle Burkett, VPAA;
C.W. McGowan, VPF; and Scott
Ratchick, TRUSTEE.
Dave Schneider and Lou Ann Atlas listen attentively to
a different view point for the student salary issue.

Media Works to Keep
ents Informed
Media. No longer is distance a
factor. We communicate across con-tinents
as easily as across a dinner
table, face to face in full color and
stereo sound.
Technology has been wonderful in
its gifts to communications: tele-phones,
wirephotos, radio, televi-sion.
A President is shot, seconds
later the world hears about it, mo-ments
later the world sees it.
Media means glamour, excite-ment,
danger, long hours, low
wages. Publicity, becoming famous
for reporting, capturing, and com-menting
on the events that shape
our lives, this is what attracts people
to the media.
Tulane has no journalism school,
no academic credit, no affiliation
with the classroom or any degree.
Why then is the media such a large
part of the university's life?
Why do people wait on the U.C.
steps for the arrival of The Hullaba-loo
every Friday? Certainly there
are other things to read, other radio
stations to listen to.
Why do students spend their lives
writing, editing, taking photo-graphs,
reading news, engineering
radio programs, answering tele-phones,
and running endless er-rands?
Or dealing with budgets,
bills, rules, regulations, forms, pro-posals,
headaches, responsibilities,
deadlines, and missed deadlines?
All this work is at the expense of
grades, friends, and sleep. To what
end one might ask? A job at The
New York Times, NBC-TV, Warner
Bros, records. Hardly. No one walks
into that kind of job right out of
college, with or without a journal-ism
degree. Dues must be paid at
small town papers, radio stations,
and the like.
Jambalaya photographer, Dale Levy gets his prints
ready before the February deadline.
Dedication, hard work, and lots of
personal sacrifice provide Tulane
with a good radio station. Literary
Magazine, Yearbook, Video, and
Newspaper.
After four years those who choose
to pursue careers in their respective
medium can expect to work week-end
nights, and holidays at salaries
of $200 a week. In time, after years
of hardwork, failure, frustration,
those who strive to be best, not satis-fied
with good enough, can make it
to the top.
In recent years, it has become
clear that doors are not closed to
Tulane grads. Everyone who had
disguised the talent, drive and dedi-cation
has broken into entry level
positions, and some have even risen
quickly. Maybe in a few years we
will see them on TV. Then we can
say, "I went to school with him."
And what of those who choose
other directions? Leadership expe-rience
at The Hullabaloo must cer-tainly
have benefited powerful Lou-isiana
Congressman T Hale Boggs.
(Lindy Boggs was also Editor of the
Newcomb Arcade.) Others have
gone on to become lawyers, doctors,
artists, and numerous other occupa-tions.
If nothing else, someone who
worked in the media can pick up a
newspaper and appreciate the mo-mentous
effort it represents, as well
as the profit potential to its readers.
Or, these former workers have the
ability to watch the six o'clock news,
appreciate the hours of tape edited
down to llVi minutes, absorb the
facts presented, the questions not
answered, and questions of objectiv-ity.

Choir Travels to London
After months of arduous plan-ning,
fund raising and personal
economy, twenty-eight members of
the Tulane Choir arrived in London,
England, on January '4, 1982.
They were accompanied by Win-nie
Trevillian, Music Department
program director, Ann Bryant, and
of course, choir director Michael
Howard.
Although this group was billed as
a choir, the nature of the trip was
mostly for pleasure. Yet somehow,
amidst all of the fun, sightseeing
tours, gourmet dining, and theatri-cal
outings, the choir actually found
time to sing.
The weather in London was un-seasonably
cold and severe, but
58 Choir
most of the group survived the bliz-zards.
Streets blanketed with snow
served as an added attraction for
those choir members from the deep
South who rarely see the fluffy stuff.
Among the highlights of the tour
were trips to Stratford-Upon-Avon
and Windsor Castle, the hit musical
"Cats," and the choir's concert at
St. Mary's in Hammersmith.
There the choir sang a selection of
sacred choral music before a small
congregation of elderly ladies. After
the concert they obliged the group
the traditional cup of tea. The choir
finally broke into choruses of "Dix-ie,"
impromptu Jazz, "When the
Saints Go Marching In," and "God
Save the Queen."
Personal sightseeing was slightly
more extensive. Excursions ranged
from trips to Porta Bella Road, Pet-ticoat
Lane, Lercester and Picadilly
Squares. One group made a com-parative
study of all the pubs in the
South West district while another
(the Tulane Cat) graced the stage at
the New London Theatre.
Some people explored the British
Museum and the Victoria and Al-bert,
while others visited Madame
Toussaud's. And of course, some
members went on shopping sprees at
Harrod's.
Houses of Parliament located on the Thames in Lon-don,
England, was one of the many places choir mem-bers
toured while on their trip.

Progressive Radio Thrives at WTUL
"Are you tired of the same old
sound? Want something new? Tune
in the Progressive Leader, 91.5 FM,
WTUL." — WTUL Promotional
Advertisement
Not only is WTUL New Orleans'
Progressive Leader, it is New Or-leans'
only progressive radio station.
Sabrina Bunks, General Man-ager
of WTUL, claimed the label of
"progressive radio" because 'TUL
"exposes the listener to a wide vari-ety
of music that no other radio sta-tion
plays." This variety includes
classical, blues, jazz, folk, reggae,
New Wave, rock 'n' roll, and older
commercial releases not frequently
played on commercial stations.
WTUL is a non-commercial pub-lic
radio station run by the students
of Tulane that serves the city of New
Orleans.
In addition to playing great mu-sic,
WTUL presents educational
features such as "News Blimps" and
"The Culture Report." News and
sports can be heard five times each
day, as well as a half-hour sports
digest on Sunday nights.
Over the last three years, WTUL
has grown significantly. Bunks cited
the Rock-On Survival Marathon as
a major reason for the recent suc-cess.
"The Marathon has brought the
station enough revenue to purchase
a new mixing board and to improve
our production studio," she noted.
The improvements of Studio B,
the station's production studio,
made WTUL better equipped to
promote their own special presenta-tions
and other campus events.
This improves public relations,
which is another source of WTUL's
tremendous growth over the last
three years.
Vox Humana, the 'TUL newslet-ter,
is another major facet of the sta-tion's
public relations program. The
Vox offers information about 'TUL
programming and also on what's
happening in the city.
Bunks expects future increase in
special t'calurcs such as interviews
with local bands and personalities.
The news department also plans to
present more local and in-depth re-ports.
In addition, WTUL will heighten
its antenna to increase their broad-cast
range to include more oi' the
city.
Overall, WTUL is a special orga-nization
on campus. It is a cooperat-ive
effort on behalf of each and ev-ery
member of the staff. The Jox,
the tech staff, and everyone else all
contribute to that well-known TUL
sound.

TUCP Tunes in Tulane
Bringing musical entertainment
to the Tulane campus is no easy
task. Working with limited facili-ties,
coordinating shows around the
multitude of musical events in the
city, and catering to the diverse de-mands
of students, is a constant
challenge.
The TUCP Concert committee,
comprised of almost thirty con-cerned
and dedicated individuals, is
responsible for all of Tulane's con-cert
programming.
Committee members coordinate
all aspects of concert events from
contract negotiations and technical
riders to publicity, ticket sales and
hall management.
Student volunteers do all the
stage crew work as well as security,
ushering and ticket handling jobs,
while the TUCP Technical staff
runs spotlights and provides sound
equipment for smaller shows.
The development of a good work-ing
relationship with local promot-ers
and major national and interna-tional
booking agencies has played
an important role in the committee's
ability to book outstanding artists.
Shows this year included the
comedian Gallagher, the Pretend-ers,
Toots & the Maytals, Steve
Hackett, Gil Scott-Heron, Joan Ar-matrading,
Ralph Towner/John
Abercrombie, Al DiMeola and Jaco
Pastorius, and the Word of Mouth
Band/ the Dregs. In addition to
shows staged in the 1800-seat McA-lister
Auditorium, TUCP Concerts
promoted blues guitarist Roy Book-binder,
folksinger Tish Hinojosa,
and the New Jazz Quintet in der
Rathskeller and also did the produc-tion
for Homecoming in the Hyatt
with the Nevilles.
Special projects this year includ-ed
compiling an extensive New Or-leans
directory for the internation-ally
recognized Performance Maga-zine.
Additionally, assistance was
provided for the balloon special ef-fects
used in the Rolling Stones
show.
All things considered, it has been
a great year for music at Tulane
with the committee successfully
booking an array of outstanding
musicians and fulfilling its goal to
provide entertainment and a musi-cal
education for the students.

Omnipotent Providers
The early morning hours found
me stumbling into my room—a lan-guishing
vestige of "Quarter-Beer
Night."
I came in, passed out and lay co-matose
for five minutes before a
rather boisterous knock was issued
upon my door. I fetched my last
waning reserves of energy and
raised the blinds only to find myself
glaring at an equally mindless in-toxicant.
With listless abandon, he mut-tered
those nerve-cringing, pester-ing,
festering words which all RA's
ultimately hear—"Will you please
open my door?"
To be sure, a football player in one
dorm lost his key no less than twelve
times. By paying for duplicates he
had funded two study breaks and a
new Softball bat.
Resident Advisors perform hand-fuls
of important duties around
campus and in the Halls. To resi-dents,
an RA becomes emulated as
the noble, omnipotent provider of
information, advice, wisdom and ex-perience.
Perhaps a little less disheartening
is the RA's role as floor supervisor,
programmer, and organizer. Here,
an RA's duties run the gamut from
disciplining pranksters to conjuring
up creative programming activities
like the "I Love Lucy" party where
everyone came dressed as Fred or
Ethel Mertz.
For many RA's, the job offers not
only a number of enjoyable activi-ties,
but also some of the fondest
memories of college life.
There is weekend duty (usually
acquired after several trade-offs
within the staff) where one RA is
condemned to a night in the dorm,
alone and with little to do.
There are the notorious "work-shops"
which drag RA's away a
week early from the beaches in the
summer and the ski slopes in the
winter. Actually, they allow RA's to
acquire the best mattress, chair, and

desk on the floor before any resi-dents
arrive.
In all honesty, it seems an RA
earns his pay primarily through on-going
battles with "Maintenance."
In fact, the most reliable measure of
an RA's competence, efficiency and
ability pivots around his/her ability
to wield influence over maintenance
and repairs in the dorm.
There is no glory, there is no
glamor, just a bunch of light bulbs to
be replaced, doors to be unlocked,
and repairs to be reported. More im-portantly,
though, there are friends
to be made and good times to be
shared.

Student Foundation Works for Tulane
The Tulane Student Foundation
is the link connecting present and
past students of the University. It is
the only organization at Tulane in
which students work directly with
alumni in various functions. Student
Foundation also strives to bring stu-dents
and faculty closer together.
Student Foundation's primary
concern is providing the students,
staff, and alumni of the University a
real look at Tulane. The hard work
of the organization's members, led
by their president, Robert Ratelle,
was reflected in functions like Su-perfest,
the Homecoming Dance,
Hotline, Spring Ring, and Senior
week.
The Homecoming dance on Fri-day,
November 13, 1981, kicked off
Student Foundation's busiest week.
Everyone at the sold-out dance boo-gied
to the music of Jubilation! as
this year's court was presented. Su-perfest,
the homecoming extrava-ganza,
was the next day, game day.
Irma Thomas, New Orleans' own
Queen of Soul, highlighted the day
with a high-spirited concert. Every-one
enjoyed the Fest, except maybe
President Eamon Kelly and a few
others who found out they were all
wet by being on the receiving end of
three wet sponges for 25 cents.
Student Foundation sponsors an
annual fundraising phonathon, Hot-line,
during three weeks in the Fall.
Spring Ring is the next semester's
phonathon. Terri Margolin chaired
Hotline this year, and Amy Pepper
organized Spring Ring.
Hotline raised over $65,000 in
pledges, making it an important
source of alumni funds. The stu-dents
or groups that raised the most
money were awarded a prize as in-centive
to help. The prize this year, a
color television set, went to the Kap-pas.
Pi Phi placed second and SAE
came in third.
Amy Pepper explained that
"Spring Ring is not run on the same
scale as Hotline. It is only open to
the different schools in the Universi-ty
which compete against each other
to raise funds from their own alum-ni."
The remaining members of the
Student Foundation board this year
were Chris Borah, vice president of
student affairs; Missy Cohen, vice
president of administration; Marga-ret
Gavel, treasurer; Peggy Basic,
secretary; and Dolly Chisholm, staff
advisor. Terry Jones, director of Tu-lane's
alumni fund, helps coordinate
the phonathon.

"The students eoniing every week
is the only thing a lot of us have tu
look forward to to break the mono-tony

"
— A prisoner in
Parish Prison
The Community Action Council
of Tulane University Students
(CACTUS) is a volunteer organiza-tion
that attempts to reach out to the
members of the Tulane and New
Orleans community and lend a
"helping hand."
Though CACTUS is an impor-tant
and influential force in New
Orleans schools, health care facili-ties,
prisons, and youth homes, (to
mention a few areas), the impact it
has on the Tulane campus should
not be overlooked. CACTUS affects
every student, faculty, and staff
member in some way.
CACTUS volunteers have hccn
fundamental in the development ot
the Tulane Emergency Medical Ser-vice
(TEMS), the Peer Tutoring
program, and the Tulane University
Blood Replacement and Insurance
Program (TUBRIP).
If yt)u need medical care on
campus, help with a class or blood
insurance, CACTUS is there. Help-ing
the fraternities and sororities
find community service projects,
and working with the religious orga-nizations
to run a food drive makes
CACTUS a vital part oi Tulane.
But what is CACTUS? The orga-nization
is the volunteers in it

The obvious goal of CACTUS is
to aid people who need help, but the
benefits to the volunteer are even
more. For the Tulane student CAC-TUS
otTers an alternative to the
path between Gibson and Newcomb
Hall, \olunteers have the chance to
experience in an active way people
with dilTerent backgrounds, values
and problems. No liberal arts edu-cation
should be complete without
this sort o\' interaction.
Important to the CACTI'S e.xpe-rience
is developing friendships —
both with the clients and the volun-teers.
Friendships will last or be re-membered
beyond college years be-cause
so much caring and concern
for others is involved. These are the
l\pe o\' friendships that make col-lege

Female Cadet
Reaches For the Stars
"Oh, but you're so little!"
That's the response Wendy Willis
hears when she tells people she's go-ing
to be a pilot in the Air Force. A
slender 5'6", the soft-spoken civil en-gineering
senior is a far cry from the
stereotype husky, cold-hearted fe-male
drill sergeant. But she's not to
be dismissed lightly, either. Willis
was one of the first 22 Air Force
ROTC women in the nation to be
selected as pilot candidates.
As such, Willis is one of nearly 50
Tulane students enrolled in the Air
Force Reserve Officers Training
program. All branches of the armed
forces are represented on the Tulane
Campus.
Willis admits that it seems "a lit-tle
unusual" for a girl to be in
ROTC. "It's fairly rare for women
to be interested in the military." She
noted, however, that this attitude is
changing. "Each year we get more
girls in the freshman class. In my
senior class, three of the 10 cadets
are women. I would say a class gen-erally
has 20 to 25 percent women."
She finds little difficulty in being
accepted by the male cadets. "If
you're competent, they'll treat you
that way, and if you're incompetent,
they'll treat you that way, too. I
think they're really willing to accept
you for what you can do."
Willis has not only chosen an un-usual
profession, but she has her
"perfect career mapped out. If I
could, I'd complete pilot training,
then I'd become an instructor pilot
in a T-38, which is a high-perfor-mance
aircraft."
She smiled when she thought
about flying a craft faster than the
speed of sound. "Then, after one
tour as an instructor pilot, I'd fly an
A- 10, which is a close air support
aircraft, and I'd be stationed in Eng-land."
She admits that she couldn't fly
the A- 10 now because women are
not legally permitted to serve in
combat positions. "It would be four
years from now before I could fly. A
lot of officers have told me that
women may be able to fly in combat
in the near future."
Eventually, Willis dreams of en-tering
the astronaut program.
"Maybe I'll walk on the moon," she
chuckled.
Many setbacks might occur along
the way, she noted. "For one thing, a
pregnancy during pilot training
would be a big obstacle. You can't
fly when you're pregnant and hav-ing
morning sickness."
There are also pressures to leave
the military and marry. "I guess
marriage and family plans at some
point may conflict with my career
plans in the Air Force."
Other than commercial flights,
she has flown only once. This was
during a four-week field training
camp that cadets attend between
their sophomore and junior years.
The flight was in a T-37 high-perfor-mance
jet trainer.
"We had to wear a bulky para-chute
and a helmet and oxygen
mask." One memorable portion of
the flight was the barrel roll, which
involves a 360-degree roll of the air-craft.
72 Female Cadet
"All 1 rciiicmbcr is you pull ;i cou-ple
of 'G-forccs,' " she said. "Il
pushes your head againsl the seal
and you feel your face flailcning
back towards your spine.
"I didn't get sick; I didn't think I'd
hear the end o\' it if I did." But a lot
of the pilot candidates did get sick,
she added, attributing this more to
the extreme heal at the beginning
and end of the Hight than to the air-craft
maneuvers.
Willis wondered if women should
be allowed in combat. "I think the\
should have a limited selection pro-cess
to have women in combat. 1
don't think women have a place in
the inlantry with men, but I don't
see any reason that uomen can't be
combat pilots. Not all women
should be combat pilots but now,
not all men are combat pilots, ei-liier."
-lust as combat wouki not be lor
e\er\one Willis does not believe the
military or ROTC is either. "I don't
think ROTC is for everyone, but for
an\one who's at all interested in the
military and who realizes there are a
lot of rules, it's a good experience."
'W lot of people rebel against be-iniz
told what to do," she continued.
"There are people who rebel against
standard dress codes and haircut
regulations, people who have difTer-eni
behavior paltcrns than what the
Air Force wants. Some like to ex-periment
with drugs, for instance.
and don't think the Air Force should
tell them what to do."
"There's a lot of pride involved in
having a uniform and a haircut
that's sharp." she said. "It looks pro-fessional
to have a neat, short hair-cut.
It all has to do with pride."

Who Cares?
This is a story about four people
named Everybody, Somebody, Any-body,
and Nobody.
There was an important job to be
done, and Everybody was sure that
Somebody would do it. Anybody
could have done it, but Nobody fi-nally
did it.
Somebody got angry about that
because it was Everybody'sjob. Ev-erybody
thought Anybody could do
it, but Nobody realized that Every-body
wouldn't do it. It ended up
that Everybody blamed Somebody,
and Nobody accused Anybody.
I didn't want to do this story, but
then neither did anyone else. Apa-thy
runs high everywhere, yes, even
on a yearbook staff. Apathy is very
prevalent at Tulane.
Why? Nobody really knows, but
then again, no one really cares. At
Tulane, the general idea is that stu-

dents are content to wallow in a sea
of mediocrity.
Yet constantly, student politicos
assail this mediocrity. They want
"Leadership for a change" or
"Thorns in the side of indifference."
They seek to "Experience the differ-ence"
and to generally "Make Tu-lane
a better place to live."
Generally, the student leaders
have fallen victim to the assured
comforts of mediocrity.
From an incredibly bad dinner at
Bruff Commons to an unresponsive
and bureaucratic administration "^
Tulane students are daily asked to
'""'
do battle with a monolith of indif-ference.
There is little to prevent
them from acquiescing and accept-ing
this university of Southern
charm and efficiency.
But this university really seems to
be merely a microcosm of the coun-try.
Now we are not merely into a
"Me" decade, we are altogether in
an era of selfishness.
People no longer want to hear
about the problems in the Third
World, or in the carcinigenicy of
their water. They want to hear about
the rate of inflation, the prime inter-

late into students who want to know
about the job market, who want to
know if they will ever be able to af-ford
a house, or if they will merely
be able to keep food on the table and
clothes on their back.
Yet amid the muck of all this me-diocrity
there were some memora-ble
movements this year which tend-ed
to disprove the apathy theory.
Out of a normally underdog football
team came a game against LSU
that was unrivaled in Tulane history,
and that left the Crescent City
jumping for days.
To a basketball team besieged by
years of problems, came a man from
a small town in Texas who not only
led the Wave to the National Invita-tional
Tournaments, but incited over
a thousand students to march on
No. 2 Audubon Place. It was the
first time, however, that they

marched in ordered revelry, not in
riotous protest.
Not only did the athletic depart-ment
do some stirring this year, the
administration did enough of its
own. A new telephone system, guar-anteed
to save money, wreaked hav-oc
with service. The new system
caused mass student protests de-manding
back the more expensive
efficiency of Ma Bell.
Phone Director Judy Halterman
tried to soothe tempers as the Uni-versity's
spokesfKrson. but she soon
became the jeering students' nem-esis—
proving beyond a doubt that
the best way to get through to stu-dents
was through the telephones.
A proposed honorary degree for
President Ronald Reagan to coin-cide
with September's presidential
visit also caused a well publicized
stir among students, who felt that
the University Senate should he
little more prudent with the handing
out of sheepskins.

Riding the Crest
Of a Winning Season
The year 1981 was supposed
to bring another good season for
the Green Wave football team.
But instead, injuries and other
frustrations marred a roller
coaster season of victory and
disappointments.
Head Coach Vince Gibson's
task would be a difficult one this
season due to the loss of 22
graduated players, including
All-American quarterback
Nickie Hall and standouts Mar-cus
Anderson, Marty Wetzel,
and Frank Robinson.
In addition, three coaches,
defensive coordinator Jim Ve-chiarella,
offensive coordinator
Charlie Davis, and defensive
secondary coach Greg Blache,
left Tulane before the season
started. They were replaced (re-spectively)
by Dennis Fitzger-ald,
Ken Meyer and Bill Mas-kill.
August arrived and practice
began. There was a sense of op-timism
on the Tulane practice
field. However, during a scrim-mage
the Wave's best wide re-ceiver,
All-American Robert
Griffin, seriously injured his
knee and was out for the season.
This and other injuries added
to the problem of a lack of play-ers
and forced many starters to
get their experience the hard
way. However, whatever these
younger players lacked in expe-rience,
they made up in size,
strength and enthusiasm.

The quarterback has to be the
leader on offense and the Wave
had three. Paul Catanese, Wade
Elmore and Mike McKay all
saw playing time as Gibson ro-tated
his backs.
Elmore was the Wave's first
starting quarterback. He made
his debut in the second half of
the opener against Ole Miss,
and brought Tulane back from a
13 point deficit to take the lead
late in the fourth quarter. Only
a "Hail Mary" touchdown gave
the Rebels a victory and spoiled
Elmore's effort.
Gibson was impressed with
Elmore's performance, and
gave him the starting call
against Clemson and Southern
Mississippi, two of the top
teams in the country. Nervous-ness
about playing two ranked
teams, caused Elmore to make
mistakes. Unfortunately, these
turnovers cost Tulane these
games.
Catanese, the senior who ori-ginally
started the Ole Miss
game, replaced Elmore for the
fifth game of the season against
Vanderbilt. Catanese led the
Wave to its first victory, a 14-10
win over the Commodores.
Against the Air Force, in Colo-rado
Springs, his leadership
98 Football
qualities brought the Wave to
another victory, 31-13. The fol-lowing
week, Catanese threw
for 163 yards and led the Wave
to victory against Georgia Tech,
27-10.
With the Wave in striking dis-tance
of the .500 mark, morale
was high because Tulane had a
starting quarterback.
Tulane visited Cincinnati to
try and even up their record.
Catanese started, but injured
his shoulder early in the first
quarter. Elmore replaced Ca-tanese
and was ineffective. Gib-son
went to his bench and put
his third quarterback, Mike
McKay, into the game.
McKay had seen some action
in the Rice game, after Elmore
broke his nose, and led the
Wave to a touchdown against
Cincinnati late in the game.
However, that score came too
late for the Wave, for they lost
the game 17-13.
With McKay moving the of-fense,
there was little confi-dence
lost. The maturing of the
offensive line helped a great
deal, but McKay's bold
