No-- he wasn't a member of the Green Wavejootbcdl team, but this little guy could be
seen on the sidelines at almost every home game. Not surprising, because in 1991-
92 there was no typical identity required in the Tulane community. People of all ages
and backgrounds played a part.

When students returned to campus this year, they
saw what once was a pool transformed into a Walmart-sized
bookstore. What was a walk-by window of a post
office became a virtual warehouse. Bruff stuff had added
a donut stand, Evlan water to its racks, and new man-agement
to its pajnroll.
All of these renovations set the tone for a sort of
revolution against student apathy born of the threat of
David Duke in November. The only I.D. required became
a voter registration card.
Students who never read a newspaper or cared
about Louisiana politics suddenly signed up to vote. De-bates
raged from classrooms to the residence halls, to the'

At last Tulane's
football team won!
Breaking their nine
game losing streak, the
Green Wave scored their
only victory of the
season against the U.S.
Naval Academy at
Homecoming. The
unusual enthusiasm of
Tulane students, alumni,
and New Orleans' locals
cheering the Wave to a
34- 9 victory over the
Midshipmen could be
felt throughout the
Superdome.
At halftime, the mem-bers
of the Homecoming
Court were introduced
to the fans as they drove
around the perimeter of
the football field in a
variety of models of
Corvettes.
After the game,
students found the
northeast quadrant
room of the Superdome
decked out in Tulane
green and blue balloons,
and packed by students
from all facets of univer-sity
life. The dance floor
was constantly
crowded, so people
danced all over the
place. The music began
when Charmaine
Neville, dressed top to
bottom in black leather
and with hair as long as
her outfit, bounded onto
the stage. Her energetic
performance was fol-lowed
by that of the
New Orleans Radiators,
who kept the crowd
dancing with many
songs from their own
alblums as well as
Beatles' covers and
other tunes. As usual
they saved their biggest
hit, "Like Dreamers
Do", for close to last.

Talented
anians
Tulanians musical
group is noted around
campus for its talent and
love of music, and the
1991 fall performance
was one reason why.
From the opening perfor-mance
of "Dance to the
Music" all the way to the
grand finale, the enthusi-asm
and excitement
shared by this group of
students was evident.
The talent and
hard work aren't all with
the students, however.
Band Coach Joe Perano
and Vocal Coach Candice
Armstrong are big factors
of the group's success.
Jodie Weinstein, a junior
and the president of
Tulanians, said, "[We've]
improved so much with
Mrs. Armstrong."
Proof came in the
performances of such
songs as James Taylor's
"Her Town Too"and Eric
Clapton's "Wonderful
Tonight," which were
sung as duets. Other
numbers included
Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4"
and a solo rendition of
Edie Brickell's "What I
Am," which was done by
Weinstein.
Weinstein cited
recognition and the
opportunity to meet
interesting people as
benefits of being a part of
Tulanians. As for careers
in the entertainment
business, at least one
member, Whitney
McCray, junior, may be
headed in that direction.
According to Weinstein,
McCray has already
recorded some tracks
with a company in At-lanta,
Ga.
In spite of the
small crowd that at-tended
this year's fall
performance, Weinstein
emphasizes that
Tulanians "should be
recognized as an estab-lished
group on campus,
because they've been
around a long time."

Over one hundred
Orientation Coordina-tors
(OC's) attempted
to form a circle on the
UC Quad. Each held
up a numbered placard
and yelled his or her
number. The fresh-men
were then let
loose to home in on
their respective groups.
After neairly thirty
minute's worth of
confusion, the campus
tours began. Though it
didn't matter where
each started, most
unofficially ended at
the Boot with pitchers
of beer and cheese

The OC's also
scheduled meetings for
subsequent days so
that the groups could
learn more about each
other and about
Tulane. Some OC's
even took their groups
for rides on the street-car
to familiarize them
with the public trans-portation
system, a
must for New Orleans
life sans automobile.
Others took their
groups to dine at
places such as Arby's,
O'Heniy's, or
Copeland's or showed
them the best bars to
hang out at on week-ends
(and weeknights).

Orientation 19
Day in
e Daylife
What do you do
when you're not at-tending
classes and
not studying? If It's
nighttime, that's an
easy question to an-swer.
But what about
during the broad day-light
hours?
For starters, the
New Orleans' climate
at its best is the best,
and Tulane students
knew how to make the
most of it. Late fall
and early spring— and
often, during parts of
winter— translate into
cloudless blue skies
and temperatures in
the 70's. Fortunately,
the campus is bor-dered
on one side by
Audubon Park, a per-fect
place not just to
exercise but also to
simply enjoy the
weather. Students
could be found jogging,
cycling, rollerblading,
studying, or just sitting
on a blanket, soaking
up the sun.
The ultimate place
for sunning, according
to some students, lay
on the other side of
Audubon Park and
Audubon Zoo, over-looking
the Mississippi
River. Known to locals
as "the fly" and to
students as the "the
levy," this strip was
amazingly crowded on
pretty days. Though
populated mostly by
sunbathers, the levy
was also home to
frisbee-throwers, pic-nickers,
cyclists,
horseback riders, and
people exercising their
dogs and themselves.
While there was
always a fair share of
local New Orleanians
around, it was still a
rare day that a Tulane
student could go to the
Levy and not run into
fellow Tulanians.
For those lacking
transportation to the
levy, there was plenty
of open space around
campus to participate
in the same recre-ational
daytime
activities. The various
quads were frequently
dotted with sun-bathers,
and the
grassy bank in front of
the Josephine Louise

warai. sunny day.
But the daytime
was not only limited to
uptown. One could
hop on the streetcar
and whiz past joggers,
owners being walked
by their dogs, and cars
blocking the streetcar's
path. The streetcar
(and other Regional
Transit Authority
transportation— affec-tionately
known as
Rita) is still a bargain
at a dollar. One could
spend a glorious forty-five
minute trip, on the
average, from Tulane
to Canal Street,
packed with many
sites to see, all for only
four quarters. Once
one reached the end of
the line at Canal, the
infamous Bourbon
street lay straight
ahead. During the
night, drunken revel-ers
and lots of neon
were all aglow. But
during daylight, locals,
artists, shoppers, and
the more placid (or
sober) tourists were
seen perusing the
knick-knack shops
and restaurants.
Along the
riverfront, there was
also much more to do.
The Flea Market sold
anything from Pat-chouli
Oil and crystal
jewelry to sunglasses
and socks. The Farm-ers'
market sold the
freshest of fruits and
vetetables, spices, and
meats. Along the way,
one could stop at Cafe
Du Monde for world-famous
cafe au lait and
beignets. Moving along
Decatur Street, there
was Jackson Square
with its mimes, palm
and tarot readers,
musicians, and more
specialty shops. Hard
Rock Cafe, Tower
Records, £ind the Jax
Brewery mall were the
next stops en route to
Canal Street where the
student could find a
bite to eat at the
Golden Arches or
Wendy's.
At the end of the
day, the streetcar at
Stop #0 would take the
weary student back
uptown, back to
Tulane.
During the day. the streets of the
French Quarter are home to a
different breed of locals and tourists
than those who line its sidewaU<:s at
night.

that annual season of
craziness called Mardi
Gras.
Although Mardi
Gras break did not
officially begin until
the Monday before Fat
Tuesday, the spirit of
celebration was in the
air around campus
and New Orleans long
before. As the week-end
drew near, hordes
of curious visitors
flooded the campus.
At the close of classes
on Friday, students
and their guests
flocked to the UC Quad
or The Boot to join in
the opening festivities
of Mardi Gras. TUCP
provided a TGIF con-cert
featuring the
popular "Dash Rip
Rock," authentic
N'Awlins cuisine, such
as jambalaya and
crawfish, and not-so-authentic
cotton candy
and popcorn. The only
bad thing was the
garbage remaining on
the quad after the
concert. It was possi-ble
that the Mardi Gras
mess made of Tulane's
campus rivalled that of

and the French Quar-ter.

the floors were littered
with several extra
bodies.
An added bonus to
Carnival 1992 was
exquisite weather, as a
full week of sun and
seventies is an un-usual
treat in New
Orleans any time of
year!
Before Mardi Gras
began, literature about
safety was distributed
all over campus. "How
to be Safe and Still
Have Fun" was one of
the more popular ones
floating around. A
bundle of choices were
laid before Mardi
Gras-ers: Should I
risk going to the
French Quarter? How
can I avoid getting
arrested? Should 1
really "flash" for some
goods beads?
An anti-discrimina-tion
ordinance imposed
upon Mardi Gras
krewes by the city this
year brought more
questions and appre-hension.
Would the
spectacles of Mardi
Gras change? Would
all of the krewes pa-rade?
Would there be
protests or violence?
In the end, a few of the
older krewes cancelled
their parades in pro-test,
but the rest of
Mardi Gras went on as
scheduled. As always,
people lost their voices
cheering at masked
characters on floats,
and risked breaking
their necks by balanc-ing
on the shoulders of
various random people.
Fortunately, however,
most Tulane students
made it through Mardi
Gras safely and with a
Carnival-style flourish.

Moving to New
Orleans for school from
another part of the
country changed lives
in many ways. Noctur-nal
habits became the
norm. Crime and
racism hit a little
closer to home. Music
took on new meaning.
But perhaps none of
these lifestyle changes
were taken for granted
as much as alterations
in eating habits.
Things that one
might never have heard
of, let alone tasted,
became everyday nour-ishment.
Gumbo.
Jambalaya. Po-boys.
Blackened catfish. Red
beans and rice. In New
Orleans these foods are
everywhere. A student
could even buy po-boys
in the Rat and, in
keeping with city tradi-tion,
be served red
beans and rice in the
U.C. Mcirketplace caf-eteria
each Monday.
The main ingredi-ent
of cajun/Creole
food which fostered
into a fact of life in New
Orleans is spice. Spice
level became a concept
relative to how long one
had lived in the Big
Easy. With experience
one could build up a
tolerance to spicy
foods, until hot sauce
became a staple at
every meal. Too hot?!
No such thing!!

Magazine or Maple Street PJs,
you'd see tables upon tables
occupied with students,
textbooks, and mugs or cups.
Coffee & Co. also on Maple
Street, Borsodi's on Freret, and
Kaldl's on Decatur in the
Quarter were also frequented
by the Tulane student. They
all had the relaxing atmo-sphere
where you could go
study, stare into space, or chat
with friends. Whereas PJ's
housed a considerately higher
percentage of students. Coffee
& Co., with its more conser\''a-tive
decor, somewhat catered
to an older clientele.
Borsodi's. decorated with the
"off the wall" works of its
patrons and the patrons
themselves, emitted an aura
of the underground and of past
countercultures. Kaldi's, with
its "Come as you are, be
yourself philosophy, relied
more upon the inhabitants of
the Quarter itself.
Another fact that I
learned: During the day and
somtimes at night, coffee (and
even those espresso beans)
was THE social lubricant.

least of the reasons to come to PJs

Club Tulane
The campus alter-native
to the drunken
and, at times, unsafe
uptown and Quarter
party scenes. Club
Tulane was the latest
addition to the growing
list of organizations de-signed
to benefit the
student body. A group
of concerned students
wanted a club-like at-mosphere
where other
students could meet
and dance without ven-turing
off campus into
unknown or unsafe ter-ritory.
Admission was only
a dollar with a Tulane
ID. And once inside
you could hear the lat-est
dance music blaring
from the loudspeakers
and see Kendall Cram
transformed by dancing
platforms and laser
lights. On the balcony
was the smoking and
drinking section. You
could buy draft beer for
only $1.50 or coolers
for not much more.
Also sold were popcorn
and soft drinks. The
chairs provided the
dancer with a resting
place to become better
acquainted with his or
her newly-found danc-ing
partner.
At first Club Tulane
was a trial. The club's
directors were inter-ested
not only in a club
alternative but also in
diversity. If other stu-dents
were also inter-ested,
the concept
would be able to grow
with school funding.
All the advertising pro-moted
everyone; all
were invited. From
straight to gay. From
Greeks to non-Greeks.
From athletes to spec-tators.
From African-
Americans to Asians to
all other shades of the
human spectrumi.
Club Tulane passed
with flj'ing colors. At-tendance
the first night
was estimated between
500 and 750.

David Duke inspired an all-day
teach-in in the Pocket Park against
racism, Nazism, and Duke himself.
Duke it out
Fighting in the Louis-iana
"goober"-natorials
It was not an issue
in which one could be
apathetic or unde-cided.
It was an issue
in which everyone took
a stand on one side or
the other. Half the
cars on campus and
around town boasted
blue and white Duke
bumper stickers. The
other half displayed
everything else, from
"No Dukes" to "David
Dork, Fiihrer" to "Vote
for the crook; It's im-portant!"
It was the 1991
Louisiana gubernato-rial
election. The lead-ing
candidates were
the incumbent Gover-nor
Buddy Roemer,
past governor Edwin
Edwards, and past
Grand Wizard of the
Ku Kiux Klan David
Duke. Roemer, a
Republican, had taken
office four years earlier
with many new ideas
for the state, but was
criticized for rciising
taxes (for education)
when he'd promised
not to. Democrat
Edwards had a reputa-tion
for being dishon-est
and self-serving,
having been tried for
several crimes commit-ted
during his previous
term, but was favored
all the same by the
older and the wealthy.
Obviously, Duke (a
Republican) was criti-cized
for his involve-ment
in the KKK, and
was rumored as being
discriminatory to ho-mosexuals,
blacks,
Jews and other minori-cont'd

ties. But conservatives liked
his ideas for weliare reform
and for eliminating affirmative
action.
Controversy took over the
state and campus. Groups
like the Coalition Against
Racism at Tulane (CART)
worked hard at educating
students about Duke's racial
views and encouraging them to
vote against him. CART also
sponsored a teach-in at the
Pocket Park, where various
professors from Tulane and
Ix)yola University and others
spoke out against racism.
Discussion about David Duke,
both formal and infonnal,
reached every classroom, from
political science to art history.
When Roemer lost in the run-off
and the competition
came down to Duke and
Edwards, the popular
question was how David
Duke could have such
discriminatory Wews and get
so far. At the same time,
citizens feared Edwards
because of his reputation as
a crook: many spoke about
the choice between the
lesser of two evils, and a
new bumper sticker was
created: "Don't blame me, 1
voted for Roemer."
When it was all over on Oct. 19
and Edwin Edwards was
elected the new governor of
Louisiana, many Tulane
students joined those parts of
the state and the nation that
breathed a liuge sigh of relief.
David Duke was often seen in pu'nlic
and in pictures ^flanked by hih lico
daugMers, presenting a wholesome
family image.

In the program intro-duction,
the 1992

Jack Bass, stressed
that since the forum's

has grown a great deal,
but its goals have not
changed: ". . .to
present persons of
differing ideologies— to
challenge and stimu-late
our own intellec-tual
growth and devel-opment."
The title of the first
presentation was "A
System in Conflict:
American Education,"
and the four speakers
were Dr. Alice Chan-dler,
President of the
State University of New
York at New Paltz:
former Vice-President
of the United States
Walter Mondale;
former Secretary of
Education, Dr. William
Bennett; and best-selling

D'Souza. Moderator
Charles Ogletree, a
professor at Harvard
Law School, induced
discussion (and argu-ment)
on hypothetical
situations from topics
like minority quotas,
single-sex education,
and school choice.
The following
week, New York Gover-nor

a solo speech for "A

And you thought
Monopoly was only a
game. Tulane had its
own live version. The
layout of the board
consisted not of Park
Place and Reading
Railroad but of Bruff
Stuff, the Parlour, the
Marketplace, Bruff
Commons, der Raths-keller,
and the Drawing
Board. The pla5ang
pieces were meal cards
and Express cards
—
and real money. The
problem was that
before the dice were
ever rolled, all the
property was owned by
one player: Marriott.
The pass into Bruff
Commons was a meal
card— required of all
freshmen— based on a
plan of 10, 14 or 19
meals a week. OR real
money in amounts
upwards of $7. A
substantial sum for
dinner in a school
cafeteria, even if it was
all-you-can-eat. "I
have neither the money
nor the appetite to visit
this place again,"
griped a non-Tulane
student visiting for the
holidays.
At other properties
of Marriott, a punch of
the meal card pass was
not worth so much.
During hours that were
set by Marriott (and
not noted by students
for their convenience),
the card translated
into an allowance that
was a few dollars too
little to purchase a
whole meal, and the
rest had to be made up
for with the player's
own cash. An alterna-tive
to cash was the
Express card, used
similarly to a credit
card except that the
player didn't borrow
from the bank, but
withdrew money and
placed it into an ac-cont'd

count to be drawn on for each
meal (without any discount, of
course) by the one who owmed
all the property.
If Marriott collected all
the rent on the restaurant
board, all of the remaining
property was owned by Barnes
and Noble, i.e., the Bookstore.
It was the only place on
campus to purchase Tulane
memorabilia (sweatshirts,
bumper stickers, posters, etc.)
as well as greeting cards, art
supplies and, the big one,
textbooks. There was one
department— personal articles
and toiletries, like lOeenex.
toothpaste, etc.— where the
Monopoly didn't hold, because
these things were also avail-able
at Marriott's Bruff Stuff
But, alas, this "competition"
did not do much to encourage
competitive prices, when a box
of 100 tissues went for $1.47.
But it was with textbook
prices, and re-sale value (or
lack thereofl, that students got
most frustrated. At the end of
the semester, as the line of
students with stacks of used
books stretched across the
store, one could hear abun-dant
jokes about the dollar
received for a $5 paperback, or
$7 for a $50 hardcover. If a
student was lucky, an attempt
to return two armloads of
books might have afforded him
or her a full meal at Taco Bell
(NOT owned by Marriott).

For most stu-dents,
16 credit hours
of school a semester
was more than
enough responsibility.
Classes and studying
outside of them—not
to mention the extra-curricular
activities of
the really ambitious
— barely left enough
time for relaxation!
There were those
students, however,
with reputations as
gluttons for punish-ment.
Classes and
organizations weren't
enough for them.
They insisted on also
having a job.
That is not to say
that every student
who worked just woke
up one day with the
thought, I don't think I
have enough to do. I'll
go get ajob! There
were those who felt
compelled to work
because, well, they
had to pay the rent.
Or their tuition. Or
they had the gall to get
hungry sometimes.
Once a student
decided to get ajob (or
circumstances decided
that they must have
one) , they had two
choices: employment
on-campus, or off.
Students who received
financial aid got first
consideration for
work-study jobs, most
of which were on cam-pus.
Now, these work-study
employment
opportunities weren't
characterized by high
income; lord knows
that minimum wage
wouldn't even make a
dent in Tulane tuition.

Rohbins and Haagen- Dazs are

But they had their perks. For
instance, they were easy.
And when one was bogged
down with tests and papers,
one didn't have to make up a
lie about a dead or dying
grandmother to get out of
work. Plus, a work-study
student did not have to look
for a new job at the beginning
of second semester, because
they didn't lose the old one
just for going home to spend
a few weeks with the fcimily.
The wide range of work-study
jobs included secretarial
work, food services... um.
secretarial work, newspaper
delivery, secretarial work,
tutoring... The main problem
(besides the less-thaii-lucrative
pay, of course) was
motivation. It was difficult to
drag oneself to the office to
file information that was in
perfectly good order last time
one filed it.
Students who desired
more profitable opportunities
—
or who insisted on doing
something somewhat useful
—
opted for jobs off campus.
Local restaurants, ice cream
shops and other places (some
less embarrassing than others)
hired students. Of course, off-campus
bosses never failed to
schedule students for a 10
hour shift the night before a
test or, even better, during a
test. And they weren't so
understanding come that
desired trip at spring break.
So working wasn't always
a joy or a convenience, but it
paid for groceries and would
have paid for a night out, if
only anyone had time for a
night out. It's those people
who took on unpaid intern-ships
that a body wonders

Dorm life is SO

into a shoebox for two
semesters. A room-mate
with stinky feet.
Firedrills at four

dead of winter. Win-dows
that open only
four inches. No cable.
Noise when you want
to sleep. Quiet hours
when you want to
make noise. The
threat—oooh!—of being
written up by your
residence advisor. Yet
for some, all this fun
was not enough. They
wanted MORE.
They wanted their
own apartment.
Sounds simple enough.
NOT!!! First you have
to find roommates that
you know you won't
hate by the end of the
year—definitely not
your best friend. Then
you have to find just
the right place. If you
don't have a car, it has
to be close enough to
campus to bike or walk
yet far enough away to
be affordable. Unless,
of course, Mom and
Dad don't mind forking
over their paychecks
for closer housing. But
then again, if Mom and
Dad can afford that,
you probably have a
car anyway and can
actually live anjmrhere.

e-use it
or abuse it
By 1992, everyone
had gotten into the act
of protecting the envi-ronment.
Paper, glass
and plastic product
containers boasted
that they were made of
anywhere from 10% to
100% recycled mate-rial.
Cosmetic compa-nies
stressed that their
goods were not tested
on animals. Everyone
from the President to
the schoolchildren
encouraged recycling.
Tulane students took
part too.
Recycle Tulane, a
division of Community
Action Council of
Tulane University
Students (CACTUS),
operated a recycling
center behind Stadium
Place on Ben Weiner
Drive. Here they col-lected
aluminum cans,
plastic, glass and
newspaper for recy-cling.
Even students
who lived off campus
saved what could have
been trash and
dropped it off at the
center. Also, boxes for
aluminum cans and
bins for discarded
paper were found
everywhere on campus,
from the steps of
Newcomb Hall to the
lobby of Howard Tilton
Library.
Another group that
concentrated on look-ing
out for the environ-ment
was the Green
Club. These students
might best be remem-bered
for the display of
an inflatable burnt
sunbather, a tattered
ozone layer, and mock
barrels of toxic waste
that was set up in
front of the University

The term "in line''
takes on new meaning
The sidewalks of
Tulane have been
trounced by shoes of
all shapes and sizes,
by bare feet, by rain
boots, by golf carts, by
bicycle tires . . . but in
the early nineties, the
sidewalks of campus
experienced a new
sensation: rollerblades.
If jogging was the
exercise craze of the
80's, then rollerblading
might turn out to be
the thing of the 90's.
RoUerblades (a.k.a. in-line
skates), for those
people who spent the
year hibernating, are
roUerskates with all
four wheels in a
straight line along the
bottom of the boot.
During the 1991-92
school year, roller-blades
could be found
on students' feet at
Audubon Park, the
levy, 8ind even on
campus rolling from
one classroom building
to another.
The price of a new
pair of roUerblades
started at just below
$200, so most stu-dents
rented rather
than owned. One
close-by place to do so
was Park Sk8 on
Magazine, where rental
cost $7 for a half a day
during the week and
$4 per hour on week-ends.
Rental also
included the elbow and
knee pads one wore for
safety while skating.
WhUe students
took their part in the
rollerblading craze, it
was a fad for everyone!
Employees at Psirk Sk8
said that customers
included all kinds of
people, from children
to retirees.

Notjust another Friday
Late every Friday
afternoon, outbound
interstate traffic was
horrendous. Radio
stations always had
some silly ritual, like
the blowing of an end-of-
the-workday horn
and a song about the
weekend. AtTulane,
Tulane University
Campus Programming
(TUCP) provided stu-dents
with another way
to celebrate the end of
the week: TGIF.
About every other
Friday, students gath-ered
on the UC Quad
to listen to a band and
relax in any way imag-inable.
Beer, wine
coolers, and pizza or
other food could be
purchased at the Rat
in the UC basement
and enjoyed outside.
People brought their
dogs, played football or
frisbee, or just rested
on the grass with
friends.
Bands that played
TGIF over the school
year included Cowboy
Mouth, the Shepherd
Band, Irie Vibrations,
and Fat Jack. Special
occasions warranted
special 'TGI-some-things,"
like TGIO {-
Over), the annual end-of-
the-year bash, and
TGI-Mardi Gras, which
for 1992 featured the
popular local band
Dash Rip Rock.
TGIF provided a
casual and convenient
way to unwind from
the pressure of week-day
classes before the

Just becaiLse one attended
Marathon, one didn't luwe to sacrifice
studying!
Rock On
22 years & counting
The stairs that
lead from the front
doors of the University
Center down to der
Rathskeller In the
basement never saw as
much traffic during the
year as they did during
WTUL's Marathon
weekend, April 4-5.
The people who con-verged
upon the UC
Quad (and ultimately,
of course, the stairs to
the Rat) came not just
from Tulane but from
all over the New Or-leans
community.
Many were beyond
college age. Many have
com.e back year after
year for Marathon.
Marathon con-sisted
of a week of
shows at various area
clubs, and a Saturday
and Sunday during
which bands played
from noon until
around 7 p.m. on the
UC Quad. Weekend
performers Included
Marva Wright, Tribe
Nunzlo, The Blue Run-ners,
Walter "Wolfman"
Washington, Cowboy
Mouth, Dash Rip Rock,
and the Haymakers.
Club shows Included
Lush and Poster Chil-dren
at Tipltlna's, Yo
La Tango at Howling
Wolf, and Leaving
Trains and Nipples of
Isls at the R.C. Bridge
Lounge.
The on-going party
on the quad Included
vendors of clothing and
jewelry, as well as
crawfish and other food
and beverages. Beer
and wine coolers were
available in the Rat, so
spectators made many
trips back and forth
into the UC.
52*?'=^ STUDENT LIFE
Marathon 53
Temples faintly
throbbing. Eyelids
drooping. Noises am-plily
in your head 100
times. You tried telling
your roommates about
something that hap-pened,
but you just
trailed off, your brain a
light, hazy mass ca-pable
of losing its train
of thought in mid-sentence.
But your
i''
roommates weren't
comprehending any-
. thing you tried to say
I anyway. They went
I out last night too.
I What did a night
I out at Tulane entail?
[ Of course, there was
[ no set pattern, no bar
or party that every
student visited over a
i given weekend. (We've
heard there were even
people that didn't go
out at all!!??) But
! there weren't that
' many differences be-tween
what individual
students did, either.
Sometimes, a night
out began on campus
with a small gathering
of friends in a dorm
room. Everyone
caught up on the
week's gossip and
activities over a few
drinks. Or maybe it
began with a pitcher of
beer and a game of
pool in the Rat, or a
couple of hours of
serious dancing a Club
Tulane. A night could
start out off-campus,
with dirmer and drinks
at O'Henry's, wme and
pizza at Figaro's, or
margaritas and fajitas
at Cuco's.
What next? If
students were lucky, it
was a night of big
fraternity parties up
and down Broadway,
where one could hear a
good band, run into
friends that hadn't
confd on p. 56

been seen forever (or
so it seemed), and of
course, toke up on free
beer and "vat," that
mystery red stuff that
tasted like Kool-Ald
and left horrible stains
on white clothing. At
midnight the parties
turned more or less
into pumpkins, and
students headed for
the bars.
One could not
begin to recap every
bar or club that was
frequented by Tulane
students, but there
were some staples. At
$1 per hi-ball. Miss
Mae's Place was known
by ever^rone as the
cheapest place in town
to drink. Not far from
Miss Mae's were
Hofbrau's, Le Bon
Temps Roule and
Audubon Tavern II; the
other direction from
night
campus was home to
Rendon Inn, a bar
known for being almost
strictly Tulane during
the school year. And a
popular new place in
1992 was Rosie's Big
Easy, opened on
Tchoupitoulas Street
by a Tulane alumnus.
But not everyone
stayed Uptown. While
the glitter and charm
of the French Quarter
faded significantly after
every freshman's first
couple of trips, the
Bourbon Street bars
were never abandoned.
Besides the ever-popu-lar
Pat O'Brien's, there
were dance clubs like
Lucky Pierre's World
Beat, the Cat's Meow,
and the Gold Mine,
and some places where
one could always find
Tulane students, like
the Bourbon Pub and

Parade or Tropical Isle.
Whether they'd
been uptown or down-town,
no student could
pass up a last beer or
pool game at one of the
late, late night places
like Fat Harry's or
F&M's Patio Bar, or
one of the roaming
Techno/House Rave
parties. On a Friday or
Saturday night, these
bars would still be
rocking at 6 a.m.
When the lights
were finally turned on
(or the sun was finally
coming up), students
headed home for a few
hours of sleep. Often
they woke up with
tired eyes and an
aching head— but it
was funny how these
unpleasant feelings
faded away by
evening, just in time
to have a few friends
over . . .

Former Dartmouth coach welcom^e
The Green Wave
football team fell on
tough times in 1991,
losing all but one of its
1 1 games. The team's
only victory came over
the Midshipmen of
Navy at the November
9 Homecoming game,
by a score of 34 to 7.
Tulane's biggest prob-lem
may have been the
team's schedule, rated
by USA Today as one of
the 10 most difficult in
the nation. The team's
disappointing season
meant the end of Head
Coach Greg Davis' ca-reer
at Tulane. Davis,
who compiled a 14-31
record over five seasons
at Tulane, resigned as
the Wave's top man
after the Navy victory,
and went on to lose his
last game as coach,
falling to LSU 39-21.
The Wave's losing
record in 1991 marked
the tenth consecutive
year that Tulane has
not had a winning sea-son,
and the loss to LSU
was the Greenies ninth
straight loss to the
arch-rival Tigers.
Sophomore wide
reciever Willie Ursin
was one of the few
bright spots for the
Wave this season. Ursin
caught 70 passes for
969 yards and nine •
touchdowns, and was i
ranked for most of the '
season as one of the
nation's top receivers. J
Ursin's accomplish-ments
were even more ;

Athletic Director Kevin
White announced that
Buddy Teevens would
replace Davis as head
coach. Teevens comes to
Tulane from Dartmouth,
where he compiled a 26-
22-5 record in five seasons.
Teevens also coached for
two seasons at Maine,
where his teams finished
13-9.
In his first few months st
Tulane, Teevens tried a
number of novel ideas to
stimulate atudent interest
in the football program.
The new coaching staff
advertised the "New
Wave" football team
throughout campus in an
attempt to solicit any
potential walk-ons that
might be able to help the
team, and the Wave held
two of its spring practices
on the U.C. Quad.
Teevens takes over a
Green Wave football
program that can best be
described as a sinking ship
after a 1991 season marred
by a 1-10 record, horren-dous
Superdome atten-dance,
and a proposal by
the Liberal Arts and Sci-ences
faculty to abolish the
program entirely. Wave
fans hope that Teevens can
lead the sinking ship of
Tulane football out of
troubled waters.

Omnipotent Wave goes 22-9
Coach of the Year Pen
takes team all the way to the NCAA
The 1991-92 Green
Wave basketball team
compiled the most suc-cessful
season in the
modem era of Tulane
basketball, finishing 22-
9 overall, with an 8-4
Metro Conference
record. The Green
Wave finished first in
the Metro for the first
time ever, and earned
an at-large NCAA Tour-nament
bid, also a first.
After jumping out to
a 9-0 start, including a
first-ever win in
Ivouisville's Freedom
Hall, the Greenies
entered the national
polls for the first time
in 43 years on Jan. 6,
ranked No.23 by USA
Today/CNN.
Tulane added four
more wins to their
perfect start, running
its record to 13-0 with
a 80-60 win over con-ference
foe Virginia
Tech on Jan. 16. The
Wave would experi-ence
its first loss of
the season two days
later, falling at Texas Tech
101-98.
Among Tulane's 13
wins to start the season
was an 83-61 demolition
of cross-town rival UNO.
The defeat was the Priva-teers'
worst ever at
Lakefront Arena.

clinching the Metro regu-lar
season title with an
80-70 win at Southern
Miss on March 7.
At the Metro Confer-ence
Tournament in Lou-isville,
Ky. Tulane received
a bye in the first round
as the top seed. In the
second round, the Wave
defeated Virginia Com-monwealth

time this season to
qualify for the Metro
title game against

Tulane lost that
game in a heart-breaker,
63-64, as

Henry Williams buried
two free throws with
only a few seconds left
to play.
Only a few hours
after that disappoint-ing
loss, the Green
Wave was awarded its
first NCAA Tourna-ment

Yoiingsters advance Lady Wave
The Lady Wave basket-ball
team had its best sea-son
in three years in 1 99 1 -
92, compiling a 9-19 overall
record and 4-8 Metro mark,
good for a fourth place
conference finish. Head
Coach Candi Harvey's team
improved by three games in
the Lady Wave's overall
record (6-22 in '90-91) and
its conference mark (1-13).
Tulane accomplished
these improvements despite
losing four players. Fresh-man
Chasity Rainey,
sophomore Tommeka Arch-inard,
junior Cassandra
Howell and senior Nicole
Frey all fell to injury and
were lost for the season.
Those setbacks left the
Lady Wave with a total of
ten players, including four
freshmen and two sopho-mores.
Tulane lost its first
three games of the sea-son,
before crushing
Southwestern Louisiana
in Fogelman. The Lady
Wave then alternated
winning one and losing
one for the next three
weeks, running its record
to 4-6.
Tulane hit a cold
streak near midseason,
losing five straight before
rebounding for consecu-tive
wins over McNeese
State and Virgina Tech.
The Lady Wave again fell
victim to a five game slide
before putting together
their longest winning
streak of the season.
The team demolished
South Florida (83-62) and
NichoUs State (73-48) at
home before whipping the
Lady Hokles of Virginia
Tech 63-43 in Blacksburg.
The road win was the first
for the Lady Wave basket-ball
team since 1989.
Tulane's luck ran out
after that, as the team lost
its final three games of the
season, including a first
round loss in the Metro
Tournament to Virginia
Commonwealth.
Next season, with the
return of All-Metro post
player Keisha Johnson
and the "fab four" fresh-man,
who now have a
season of college experi-ence,
1992-93 could be
the breakthrough year for
Harvey and Lady Wave.

Cross Country sees solid season
The Tulane Cross Coun-try
team had an outstanding
season in 1991. Under
Coach Danny Thiel, both
men and women finished
with winning records.
The men were led by
senior Mike Reynolds, who
finished first for the Wave in
every race. Reynolds, one
of three seniors on the
squad, highlighted his ca-reer
when he won the USM
Invitational in September. "
It felt good," Reynolds said.
'The feeling ofjust winning
a race is great. I've been
much more relaxed this year
and that's part of the reason
why I ran well."
Junior Nathanial Halsey
was the Green Wave's num-ber
two man. "Nathanial is
a very consistent runner and
he will be the person we
look to next year," Thiel
said.
The men's team
finished the season with
a record of 37-23, in-cluding
two second and
one third place finish.
The Wave placed sixth
in the Metro Champion-ships,
just ahead of
Southern Miss.
The Lady Wave
struggled with injuries
throughout the 1991
campaign, but still
compiled a record of 33-
14. Senior Rosane
Archery, like Reynolds,
finished first for the
team in every race.
Senior Amanda Rogers
and Junior Nuong Bui
both occupied the
number two spot before
falling to injuries late in
the season. In the Metro
Championships, ham-pered
by injuries to three
of the top seven women,
the team finished sixth,
led by Archery and fresh-man
Marilyn Hatfield.
Coach Thiel agreed
that injuries hurt the
team's chances for a
higher placing in the
Metro. 'The women were
so beat up this season
that it looked like the year
was going to be a disas-trous
one," Thiel said.
"The team was basically
comprised of walk-ons.
But throughout the sea-son,
someone always rose
to the occasion."

Senior Brenda Wik-jord

Wikjord finished in a

Tulane looking good in long run
As the 1992 track season
began, many questions faced
Head Coach Danny Thiel. His
team lacked experience and
numbers. There were even
questions concerning the
team's abiUty to competitively
challenge the competition it
would ultimately face. With
only a few strong individuals,
it looked as though the spring
would be a tough one.
Among those individuals
that were instrumental in the
team's success were Tracy
Harris and Mashandra Hall.
Harris, a sophomore, and
Hall, one of the lone seniors,
dominated and subsequently
placed in every event they
entered. Harris specialized in
the field events, primarily the
shot put and triple jump,
while also running the 1 00
hurdles. Hall did most of her
damage on the track as she
consistently placed in the 200,
400 and long jump. These
two athletes usually scored at
least half of the team's total
points and their success had
Coach Thiel extremely excited,
as he tried to decide how to
best use their talents.
"I'm very happy with the
way they have performed,"
Thiel said. "Mashandra is a
defending champion in the
long jump, and she was
second in the 400. She is
very talented, but I haven't
decided how to use her yet. It
all depends on where our
team strengths lie. However,
for the conference meet [which
Tulane hosted May 14-16],
I've got to look at using her
where she can score the most
points."
As for Harris, Assistant
Coach Yogi Weigel believed
that Tracy was one of the
conference's best throwers.
'Tracy Is probably the
outright favorite to win the
shot put, arid she'll probably
get some points in the other
field events like the triple
jump."
The women's distance
squad was also bolstered
this spring by the arrival of
Jennifer and Megan
Murdock, who were known
more for their volleyball
skills than for running
track. These multi -talented
freshmen, who placed
consistently in the 5,000
meter run and competed in
the conference meet, be-came
two-sport athletes
and filled a serious void in
the distance events for
Thiel.
'They are a godsend.
It's the first time they've
run on a track competi-tively,
and they are running
better than I first expected."
Senior Rosane Archery
also proved valuable in the
distance events. The
number one women's cross
country runner last fall, she
placed in the 1,500 and
3,000 meter runs all sea-son.
On the men's side,
senior hurdler Darian
Jones was instrumental in
the success of the men's
team this spring. He placed
in every meet in the 110
and 400 hurdles. He also
spent some time anchoring
the men's 1,600 meter
relay.
"He's much stronger
than he's been in the past,"
Thiel said. "He's paid a lot
of dues throughout his
career."
Jones, who was a
walk-on athlete to this
program, improved with
every race throughout his
career and was one of the
Metro's top sprinter/
hurdlers. Thiel believed
that "he could fair very well
in . . . the sprints and the
hurdles."
Senior Mike Reynolds
and freshman Zack Stenger
anchored the men's distance
team, placing consistently in
the 800, 1,500, and 3,000
meter runs. Ted Taylor emd
Winston Brown were the
squad's top high jumpers,
and the throwing events were
dominated by a cast of
many. Among them were
Mike Green (JavelLn), Mike
Cadnazzi (high jump and
javelin). Beau Harvey (shot
put and discus), Leroy
Brown (shot put), Sean
Arrillaga (shot put and
discus), and Mike Decker
(hammer throw)
.
Looking to the confer-ence
championships, Thiel
believed that it was going to
be hard for one of his teams
to place well.
"It's going to take an
entire team effort for one of
the teams to win. I think
both of these teams are in
the middle of the pack, but
you can't rule out the possi-bility
of stepping into the top
three. We're going to need
all the fifth and sucth place
points to really have a good
showing."
Thiel added that "itll be
fun for us to be more com-petitive
than we've ever been
in this conference. I'm proud
that we're as competitive as
we are."
Once the Metro champi-onships
had been decided,
Thiel believed that Harris
and Jones would have the
caliber of talent to compete
in the NCAA National Cham-pionships
in Austin, Texas,
from June 3-6.
"Darian and Tracy are
two very intense individuals.
They're not far from being
national-class athletes."

Tennis served a tough season
The Green Wave
men's tennis team and
Head Coach Kevin
Swank struggled
through a difficult 1992
campaign, compiling a
7-21 record.
Sophomore Neil
Simon represented
Tulane in the number
one spot in 25 of the
Wave's matches and
finished with a 10-15
record. Sophomore
Jonas Kushner found
the going tough in the
number two spot, losing
16 of 18 matches.
Kushner was also the
most frequent player at
number three, where
his record improved to
4-5. Senior Josh
Lipshutz finished with
a 10-15 record as the
fourth amd fifth seed.
Junior Andrew
Ambrose and sopho-more
Ken Sharpiro
also saw a consider-able
amount of play-ing
time. Ambrose
finished 6-19 overall,
competing in the one
through four slots.
Shapiro compiled a
12-15 mark in spots
three through five.
In doubles, Josh
Lipschutz and Neil
Simon finished 5-7 in
the top spot, and
Andrew Ambrose/
Madhu Callapalli
compiled a 3-6 record in
the number two spot.
Despite the team's
struggles in 1992, there is
reason for optimism in
1993. Of the Wave's top
eight players, seven will
return to action for
Tulane next season. Also,
five of the Green Wave's
losses last year came by
one game, so with a few
more breaks, the team
could have very easily put
together a record of 12-
16. If the experience of
1992 provides the team
with some across-the-board
improvement, a
winning season for the
Tulane men's tennis team
could be on the horizon.

Men's Tennis
Lady Wave swings for success
The Lady Wave tennis
team compiled the highest
winning percentage of any
varsity team at Tulane, win-ning
18 of its 25 matches, a
.720 success ratio. The
men's basketball teami
finished second, w/inning
just below 71 percent of its
games.
The key to this tennis
team's success was its
depth. Although its 48-26
record (.649) in the number
one through three spots was
impressive enovigh,
Tulane's 56-19 (.747) record
in spots four through six
were critical to the team's 18
wins.
Sophomore Dina Ber-ger
led the team in wins (19)
and winning percentage
(.864), while compiling a 15-
1 record (19-3 overall)
in the number four
spot. Sophomore
Ashley Stowe was the
team's m.ost frequent
competitor in the num-ber
one spot, finishing
with a 7-8 record.
When Stowe stepped
down from the number
one spot she was 7-2.
Joy deCarvalho repre-sented
the Lady Wave
most often from the
number two spot (8-5)
and finished 17-7 over-all.
Sophomore Vanes-sa
Brill played in ten
matches as the number
three seed and compiled
a 6-4 record (14-10
overall).
In doubles, Ashley
Stowe and Aye Unnop-pet
competed in the num-ber
one seed 12 times and
won six, while Dina Berger
and Vanessa Brill finished
4-4 as the number two
seed.
At the conclusion of
the season the team hon-ored
its top players. Un-noppet
was named MVP
and recognized as the
player with the best atti-tude.
Ashley Stowe re-ceived
the Unsung Hero
award, and Vanessa Brill
was named the hardest
worker.
The women's tennis
team was Tulane's most
successful varsity team in
91-92. The squad viQll re-turn
eight of ten members
next season, including the
four top seeds in singles.

Metro Tourny a surprise sweep
Americanfor basebalU
bidfor Wave athletics
On the shoulders of
Ail-American pitcher Mike
Romano, the Green Wave
baseball team overcame
some early season difficul-ties
to sweep the Metro
Conference Tournament
and qualify for the NCAA
Tournament.
After a solid freshman
campaign, Romano came
into his own in 1992.
After starting the season
6-4, Romano won his next
1 1 decisions, all complete-game
victories, and shat-tered
the Green Wave
records for wins in a
season (17), games
started (21), complete
games (15). innings
pitched (165.3), and
strikeouts (174).
With the return of
pitcher Ivan Zweig,
whose outstanding
freshman season
earned him All-
America honors, and
most of the 1991
squad that finished
36-18, hopes were
high heading into the
1992 campaign. But
Tulane struggled
through much of the
regular season, and on
April 26, after losing two
of three from Metro rival
South Florida, the Wave
returned home with a
29-22 record. Hopes
were dimmed even fur-ther
when it was learned
that Zweig, who had
struggled to a 5-8 mark
in '92, would need
shoulder surgery and be
lost for the remainder of
the year. Once the Wave
knew that it could no

victory. Tulane would
lose its next two, how-ever,
to the eventual
winner of the Regional,
Cal-State Fullerton (0-8)
and arch-rival LSU (3-
7). Cal-State Fullerton
would go on to finish as
runner-up to national
champion Pepperdine in
the College World Se-ries.
If Tulane baseball
fans were excited about
the 1992 season and
the return of one All-
American pitcher
(Zweig), then they
should be ecstatic about
the 1993 campaign with
two former Ail-Ameri-cans
taking the mound
for the Green Wave
(Zweig and Romano).
Although the team will
suffer from the losses of
Morton and Triessl, as
well as starting pitcher
David Welch, Tulane
could ride possibly the
best one-two pitching
combination in the
nation to its first ever
appearance in the Col-lege

Daytime. Groups of

moved up and down Broad
way from sorority house to
sorority house. They were
met by more girls, often in
matching dresses or t-shirts,
who cheered and
sang for them on the soror-ity
house steps. From the
neighboring
fraternity
houses, the
Greek men
watched and
commented
with interest.
. . Nighttime.
Young men
milled about
inside and
around frater-nity
houses. Small groups
gathered in a comer
around an active in his
chapter t-shirt, who talked
and gestured. They then
sauntered from one house
to another. Girls were
interspersed among the
crowds, laughing. . . It was
a typical rush scene. The
only difference was that
this year it was deferred
until spring semester.
While the first year of
spring rush took some
adjusting to from both
sides of the nametag, many
of its advantages were
initially clear. Freshmen
rushees were not slapped
in the face with choosing a
sorority or fraternity at the
same time they were forced
to cope with all of the other
changes and decisions that
coming to college brings
about. Then, once settled,
freshmen had an entire
semester to learn about
Tulane's Greek system and
the individual sororities
and fraternities. The final
pledging decision was
based on several month's
worth of watching and
learning,
rather than
on that of two
weeks or less.
Concurrently,
sororities and
fraternities
took advan-tage
of de-ferred
rush to
elaborate on
their rush
procedures and presenta-tions.
But like all changes,
spring rvish had its disad-vantages
as well. Members
of the new pledge classes,
having already had plenty
of time to establish friend-ships
outside of the Greek
system, were not as eager
to get to know each other.
And some actives, having
spent a whole semester
working to make their
mark around campus, were
tiring of the haird work and
excitement of rush by the
time the real thing actually
rolled around.
Next year will bring a
new perspective on spring
rush, as Greeks will be
more accustomed to it, but
a new set of rush rules will
add yet another twist.

Greek Week means unity

UNITY and DIVER-SITY

Greek System this year
during Greek Week. So-rorities
and fraternities
came together to partici-pate
in the
Greek Week
events; being a
member of the
Greek System
as a whole
transcended
being a mem-ber

ofDIVERSITY,
UNITY was
achieved.
Seven teams were
formed, made up ofmem-bers

and fraternities, and com-petitionwas
fierce . Points
were earned by partici-pating
in such events as
wearingletters on "Greek
Letter Day," by attend-ing
a speech, "Unity in

by participating in "Skit
Night."

Greek tee's are more than a poly/cotton blend
The Greek system is
a network of brothers
and sisters who have
pledged to give one
another the shirts off of
their backs. Except, of
course, for their Greek
t- shirts.
There was perhaps
no better
way to pick
a Greek out
of a crowd
than by his
or her t-shirts.
The
traditional
letter shirts
had given in
to colorful
sketchings and catchy
phrases, including ev-erything
from comic
strip characters like
Snoopy and Hobbes to
take-offs of product
advertisements by Nike
and Bud Dry. T-shirts
commemorated every-thing
from formats and
semi-fomicds to house
parties and mixers.
This year, influenced by
the new mandate of
deferred Spring Rush,
most Greeks sported t-shirts
throughout the
fall semester that were
not meant
to highlight
special
events but
only to
encourage
prospective
members
to take
notice of
the differ-ent
chapters. Phrases
such as "Why Ask Why .
. . Go Pi Phi" and
"Pike— Just Do It"
abounded.
At most special
events, t-shirts were
included for chapter
members in the cost of

These T-shirts are but aJew of
tlie many badges oj camaraderie
worn on campus during the
1991-1992 school year.
The T-shirt semes as a universal
vehicle for expressing Greek
pride and noting Greek activities.
Several members of one sororiity
boast their participation with a
parodyfrom the patented Pepsi
slogan.
participation. Just
because someone was
wearing a Greek t-shirt
didn"t necessarily mean
that he or she was
Greek, however; dates
to semi-formals and
formals usually got one
too.
But this spirited
variety of the Greek t-shirt
did not push the
traditional letter shirt
completely out of the
picture. Campus Con-nection,
just a few
blocks from Tulane on
the comer of Maple and
Broadway, was a popu-lar
place for students to
commission specialized
Greek letter t-shirts and
sweatshirts, usually of
patterned letters on a
solid background.
Upon induction, new-initiates
frequently
received these basic
shirts representing their
chapters as gifts from
their new brothers or
sisters.
The Greek t-shirt
was a creative yet prac-tical
way to commemo-rate
the fun while cover-ing
the body. As Chi
Omega formal shirts
might suggest, "It's not
just another cotton
pickin' ..." t-shirt!
