WHERE THE TREES ARE
The Jambalaya staff is proud to present to you the 1958 Jambalaya. In
the following three hundred pages we hope that you will find pictures
and reminders of all your daily activities during this year at Tulane.
The theme of this Jambalaya is TULANE REVISITED. Each of us is
now able to remember what has happened to us during this school term
to make it unique from all the others, but as time goes by, these four
years will become only a blur of emotions and experiences, all crowding
together into one period—"college." Through pictures of events and
activities that have occurred during this your Freshman year, or perhaps
your Junior year, we hope to give you a permanent record of one particular
and special phase of college life.
We have selected pictures of the routine, annual things that are a part
of every school year
—
coffee breaks, classes, but our chief interest has been
in recapturing this year's particular
activities—the construction on the
campus, Tulanians in the snow, that
special party—all the things that in-dividualize
1958. Whichever of your
college years this may be, we hope that
this Jambalaya will help you to re-member
it.
As you look through the Jamba-laya,
now and in the future, we hope
that it will mean to you TULANE RE-VISITED.

TAKE FROM US OUR HEART'S
DEVOTION
l/eojlctfXtotL
Yearbook dedications are a relative thing. The Jamb staff feels that its dedication should go to one
who through the years has shown his overwhelming interest in Tulane students and their affairs.
In 1958, the Jambalaya staff has chosen Einar Pedersen as their "man of the year." Mr. Pete, as co-ordinator
of spirit and student affairs, shows this vital interest. As ever, he has advised Lagniappes,
APO, Tusk, Greenbackers, and Campus Nite. He is always present at all our dances and pep rallies,
entering with the rest of the Greenies in Greenie life.
It is this devotion to the student and his affairs for which we salute Mr. Pete. It is for this work, help-ing
our various student activities, for which we honor Mr.
Pete. It is for this interest in Tulane and its member fam-ily
that the Jambalaya staff dedicates its 1958 edition to
Mr. Einar Pedersen, Assistant to the Dean of Students.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
I congratulate the 1958 Jambalaya staff on the care and
imagination demonstrated in the production of this fine
volume. Both photographs and comments will reflect the
diversified student life of the campus. The school year 1957-
58 has brought with it new vigor and exciting prospects for
the future. The rehabilitation program embarked upon in the
summer of 1957 will bring all campus buildings in accord
with modern standards for such facilities, including air-con-ditioning.
New construction and sites being prepared for new
construction are to be seen from one end of the campus to
the other. By the time another Jambalaya goes to press, at
least five new buildings will be ready for use. With a new
University Center Building, the Favrot Intramural Sports
Building, a Newcomb Food Service Building, a-new infirmary,
and new residence halls for both men and women, the Uni-versity
will have most of the tools necessary to mold a greater
campus unity for a greater Tulane.

BOARD OF ADMINISTRATORS
The Board of Administrators of the Tulane Educational
Fund is the general governing body of Tulane University. It
is a self-sustaining board of seventeen members whose mem-bership
is made up of prominent Louisiana citizens and Tu-lane
alumni. The original membership was named by Paul
Tulane to receive and administer his gifts. The Board of Ad-ministrators
establishes the broad educational policy of the
University. It maintains a constant watch over the field of
education and related fields in order that Tulane may con-tinue
to set the pace in higher learning, research, and educa-tional
service. In addition to the seventeen members, the
Board consists of three ex-officio members, the Governor of
Louisiana, the Mayor of New Orleans, and the State Superin-tendent
of Education. Miss Florence Dymond of New Orleans
is an emeritus member of the Board and Lawrence A. Wogan
is secretary-treasurer emeritus. Mr. A. P. Generes is serving
as secretary-treasurer of the Board.

OFFICERS OF
ADMI N I ST R AT IO N
The day-to-day administration of University affairs is di-rected
by a competent group of Officers of Administration
—
Vice-presidents, Deans, Directors and other administrative
and staff members—who are in charge of the University's
various departments and divisions. Each is a specialist in a
field related directly to education. As leaders in their respec-tive
divisions, the officers are in a position to meet the stu-dents
and the general public. All students will be counselled,
advised, informed and serviced by these Officers during their
stay at Tulane. The University is proud of these men and
women for the essential part they play in the conduct of Uni-versity
affairs and for their dedicated work.
DIVISION OF
STUDENT LIFE
At Tulane extra-curricular activities are a basic part of the
University's broad educational program. We believe that the
aim of higher education should be to produce, not only well-informed
individuals, but also well-rounded minds. The
Division of Student Life with offices in the Student Center, is
dedicated to helping the individual student get into the swing
of campus activites and learning to live and work with his
fellow students. The Dean of Students and his staff are acces-sible
to students at all times to assist them with their personal
and other non-academic problems. The University feels that
an active role in campus life is excellent preparation for the
greater responsibilities of the post-graduate community. JOHN H. STIBBS

College is a development that manifests itself in a fertility
and flexibility of mind that cannot be duplicated at any other
time in life. Since the early days of the University of Bologna,
students have almost instinctively strived to have their voices
heard. At many schools their voices have been heard, and they
play a large part in the conduct of University affairs.
This is the case of Tulane. Not only does the Student Coun-cil
actively and energetically work toward fulfilling the basic
needs of the student community, but it now has representa-tion
on every important committee of the university whose
purpose is in any way connected with student life. This is a
result of a realization on the part of university officials that
college is not ony a training in the scholastic disciplines, but
is also a development of future leaders who will be capable of
assuming positions of responsibility in society.
Some projects undertaken by the Student Council this year
are : a complete change in the Fi eshman Orientation Program,
aiding in the recruiting of football players, establishment of a
statewide Student Legislative Assembly, mailing of the
identification cards instead of having students pick them up
personally, the inviting to Tulane and the sponsorship of a
Hungarian refugee student, the establishment of a unified
honor system, enforcement of scholastic requirements on
student officers, coordination and cooperation among the
spirit groups, election of student officers for University Col-lege,
orientation for foreign students, and standing committees
to improve the functioning of the cafeteria and bookstore.
Collateral areas in which students are represented on uni-versity
committees include: University Committee on Traffic
Control, Homecoming Committee, University Committee on
the new Student Union, Senate Committee on Student Affairs,
Committee on Publications and the Parents' Day Committee.

AND SCIENCES
The largest full-time division of the University and
the oldest undergraduate division, this College is dedi-cated
to the purpose of assuring each of its students the
opportunity of obtaining a sound general education as
well as a proper basis for specialization. Many students
will prepare themselves for entrance into graduate and
professional schools; others will terminate their formal
education with the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of
Science degree and obtain further preparation for their
occupation after beginning to earn their living. The
College offers both groups of students preparation for
positions of leadership and trust in their communities.
In addition it provides general-education courses for
students in the other undergraduate divisions of the
University and faculty members from the Graduate
School and University College.

ADMINISTRATION
The School of Business Administration offers an
undergraduate program of study leading to the BBA
degree and a graduate program leading to the MBA
degree. Also, under its auspicies several institutes and
short courses are conducted annually. The School of
Business Administration is among the oldest in the
country and is one of 14 charter members of the Amer-ican
Association of Collegiate Schools of Business.
The School of Business Administration is very proud
of its honor system. Administered largely by the student
Honor Board, the system has functioned effectively for
many years. Its work in teaching honor, self-reliance
and responsibility has been an invaluable part of the
total education of the student.

SCHOOL OF
ENGINEERING
Engineering has had a tremendous impact upon our
civilization in the past fifty years. Engineers have done
wonders in harnessing the energy and transforming the
materials of nature. Since 1894 the School of Engineer-ing
at Tulane has contributed its share of distinguished
engineers to the profession. The School offers programs
of study in chemical engineering, civil engineering,
electrical engineering and mechanical engineering
which emphasize the engineering sciences and their
broad application to the basic problems which confront
the professional engineer.

SCHOOL OF
ARCHITECTURE
Within the past decade the practice of Architecture
has undergone a major change in character and scope.
An increasing awareness of the necessity for planning
for the rapid expansion of populations rural and urban,
particularly critical in the South, has'made apparent an
acute shortage of trained Architects for this field.
Science and invention have opened new worlds of ma-terials
and methods which have all but overwhelmed us
with new possibilities.
It is the aim and proper function of the School of
Architecture to keep abreast of modern technology, to
know and understand the coming problems of a world
on the verge of over-population, and to educate men of
broad vision and technical competence to take the
leadership in the coming and inevitable crisis in human
environment.

UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE
University College is the evening and adult educa-tion
division of Tulane University. Established in 1942,
University College has steadily expanded its curricula
and now enjoys full status as an undergraduate degree-granting
college of the University. It offers degrees in
the fields of liberal arts, commerce, medical technology,
and nursing along with introductory courses in the
fields of engineering and architecture. The faculty is
primarily selected from the University's regular teach-ing
staffs and is supplemented with special lecturers who
are recognized authorities in their fields.
To broaden its scope and to provide effective leader-ship
for its student body the council organized eleven
committees from which a Representatives Council was
formed, along with a third representative body com-posed
of one member from each class in University
College.

School of Social Work
SCHOOL OF
SOCIAL WORK
Graduate preparation for those who expect to make
social work their profession has been available at Tulane
since 1921. The two-year curriculum leading to the
Master's degree was organized in 1927 when the Rocke-feller
Foundation made a grant to the University for
the purpose of extending the program. The school is
accredited by national functional agencies including
group work, medical and psychiatric social work, and
school social work. Preparation for child welfare, fam-ily
casework, and social welfare planning are also of-fered.
Social Work students are registered in course work
and at the same time are assigned two or two and a half
days a week to various social agencies for supervised
field work. Therefore, they are closely associated with
the various social agencies and institutions of the local
welfare organization.

GRADUATE
SCHOOL
Graduate work was first provided at Tulane in 1883-
1884. Under several different names and forms of ad-ministration,
graduate work has continued to develop.
Four students received degrees of Master of Arts in
1885; the first Doctor of Philosophy degree was con-ferred
in 1887. In 1925 the name was changed from the
Faculty of Graduate Studies to the Graduate School.
Ph.D. degrees are offered in the following subjects:
antaomy, anthropology, biochemistry, chemistry, eco-nomics,
English, French, history, mathematics, micro-biology,
parasitology, pharmacology, philosophy,
physiology, political science, psychology, sociology,
Spanish, and zoology.
Degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, and
Master of Fine Arts are offered by various departments
in the arts and sciences, in engineering, and in the basic
medical sciences.

SCHOOL
OF LAW
The School of Law was established in 1847. It is a
member of the Association of American Law Schools
and is on the approved list of the American Bar Associa-tion.
The School occupies all of Tilton Hall, which is
located on the campus just off the St. Charles Avenue
Circle. There are approximately 250 students in the
School. This permits the close relationship between
faculty and students which is essential to the School's
philosophy of legal education.
The School offers two curricula: one in Civil Law and
one in Common Law. Each leads to the degree of
Bachelor of Laws. On the graduate level the degree of
Master of Civil Law is awarded for satisfactory work in
Civil Law and the degree of Master of Laws for satisfac-tory
work in Common Law.

SCHOOL OF
MEDICINE
Tulane School of Medicine was established in 1834
to train physicians to combat the diseases peculiar to
the area. Over the years it has grown into an institution
which not only teaches medical students but carried on
extensive medical research and extends medical services
to many other instituions in the community.
Considerable emphasis is now being placed upon re-search
and it will no doubt become as important as train-ing
of the medical student. The two go hand in hand. The
medical teacher who is doing research cannot fail to
impress his students with the importance of research to
the medical practitioner.
Medical school services to hospitals and health
agencies imbue the student with a sense of service. The
teaching of comprehensive medicine and rehabilitation
stress the health of the whole patient, not merely the
treatment of his diseases. Tulane medical graduates
therefore enter upon their careers having had a high
ideal communicated to them as part of their education.

NEWCOMB
COLLEGE
Newcomb College was the first co-ordinate college
for women established in the United States. As such it
enjoys its own buildings and campus, its distinct tra-ditions
and history, and its own faculty. Newcomb girls
to a very real degree govern their activities through
their own agencies such as the Student Government As-sociation,
the Honor Board, and the Resident Govern-ment
Association. Thus is the congenial atmosphere of
the small liberal arts college preserved.
Yet at Newcomb there is no academic, cultural, or
social isolation. As an integral component of a major
university system, Newcomb offers its students the man-ifold
benefits attendant to Tulane. In terms of library
resources, the great variety of course offerings, and the
caliber of instruction assured by the presence of a Grad-uate
School of recognized excellence, Newcomb is in-deed
rich in its ability to offer a truly liberal education.

SUMMER
SCHOOL
The Summer School conducts a twelve-week session
in which courses are offered from the curricula of the
College of Arts and Sciences, Newcomb, University Col-lege,
Business Administration, Engineering and the
Graduate School. The credits earned in the Summer
School may be applied in those Colleges, as well as in
colleges of other universities offering similar programs.
The session is divided into two six-week terms, except
for evening courses. A student may enroll in either term,
or in both. Classes meet five times a week for periods
of one and a half hours, except in the laboratory
sciences. Thus a semester's credit in a subject may be
earned in a six-week term. The evening courses are
conducted on the basis of a single longer term.
Degrees are conferred at the close of the Summer
School.

The Tulane Alumni Association was organized in 1898 and
is devoted to the broad principles of service to Tulane Uni-versity.
Since then Tulane alumni have taken an active part
in the progress of one of the South's oldest and greatest edu-cational
instituions. Through the Alumni Association the
University maintains contacts with graduates and former
students. The TULANIAN, alumni magazine, is sent free of
charge to all alumni.
Active Tulane alumni clubs exist in many parts of the
world. Each year the Association sponsors Homecoming, a
celebration which brings graduates back to the campus for
reunions and other activities.
The Tulane Alumni Fund, organized in 1946 by the alumni
themselves, is conducted by Class Agents, Area Representa-tives
and other alumni. The Fund has increased each year
both in numbers of contributors and money contributed. It
has become a strong financial support of the University and
has been another means of nurturing alumni interest.
The Tulane Conferences are in their fifth year and are spon-sored
by the Tulane Alumni Association and its local clubs.
Seminar-type programs have been presented through the Con-ferences
in Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Monroe,
Lake Charles and Lafayette, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi
and Mobile, Alabama.

One of the Jambalaya staff's most pleasant duties this year
was to select a group of fifteen girls to run for the title of Miss
Pauline Tulane. Any girl in either Tulane or Newcomb is
eligible to vie for this honor except freshmen and those who
have served in the court previously. The Student Body then
votes to choose Miss Pauline and her court of six maids out
of the fifteen. The identity of Miss Pauline Tulane is kept a
secret until she is presented at the Tulane Spring Dance.
There are several girls in school this year who have served
in past Jamb Beauty Courts. They are: Bart Bridges, Sallie

Homecoming Court is presented to the alums at the annual Alumni Dance
Homecoming, the day when alums return to the halls of
Tulane to renew "auld acquaintance", was more exciting than
ever this year. A precedence was set, too—the game marked
the first homecoming game to he played at night under lights!
The first tingle of excitement was felt as elections for the
Queen and her court were held. Pretty, blonde Jean Wiggins
Cairns was chosen Queen by a vote of the Student Body.
Kathy Warden was maid of honor, and other members of the
court included Sallie de Ben, Kay Ketelson, Carole Stafford,
Claudette Webster, and May Louise White.
Both alums and students got into the swing of things on the
eve of the big day. A downtown hotel provided the setting for
the lovely Alumni Dance. Simultaneously, the fraternities and
sororities were busily decorating their houses with lavish
decorations to truly set the mood and welcome back old
grads in the grand manner.
The Greenie team put forth their all, and although Georgia
Tech outscored them, the game was one of great spirit and
excitement. Queen Jean was crowned during the half-time
ceremonies and after the game presided over the tremendous
Homecoming Dance held that night.
The day was over but would never be forgotten by those
who shared in its excitement.

REVISITED
IN THE
BEGINNING . . .
And so begins another year
Every years begins with the same routine schedule—mov-ing
in, registration, a full and hectic first week of school. But
although the places and the externals may be similar to those
before, they are unique to each and every one of us. The year
ahead will be filled with new activities, new attitudes, and, we
all hope, newly acquired knowledge. This week, and the weeks
ahead, will be the time remembered as September, 1957. This
year you registered for Sociology 331, you rushed for the first
time, or you were on the Orientation committee. Or, if you
were a Freshman, this whole first week was a new and bewild-ering
blub of experiences, which will gradually sharpen into
focus as you become a college man.
You'll always remember the flurry of unpacking, the first
tentative overtures at making friends. Perhaps you exper-ienced
a few strained moments when you met your roommate
before you sat down for a good long talk and ended by pledg-ing
eternal friendship.

GETTING TO
KNOW YOU
New surroundings or old, you adapted quickly and soon
you were caught up in the hubbub of the new school year.
Then Rush began ! An experience to end all experiences
—
a whole week of partying. You, the Freshmen were in ecstacy,
but, you, the "old hands" viewed the spectacle with subdued
resignation. After Rush Week the best part of getting ac-quainted
began—namely acquaintance with the opposite sex.
The phones in the dorms were constantly busy and the
T. U. operators, telephone and otherwise, were going quietly
about their business. For the Newcomb girls who could never
be reached by "The Male Animal", knitting and novels became
the order of the day. However, boys could always be found
doing the "forbidden"—checking who's out with whom ! And
then there comes that first big date with a frat man and you
can sign out in the book with prestige ! Yes, getting acquainted
is a big part of your college life and friendships are made at
this time that will last forever.

FORMS AT THE REAR
Lines everywhere! Heat and crowds! Form after form to
be filled out—millions of checkers to stamp your forms. These
are familiar sights to the upperclassmen and frightening
sights to the Freshmen.
The lines look like they will never end and feet feel like they
will never be able to take another step. And those cards
—
pink cards, blue cards, yellow cards, class cards, health cards,
cards for every department in the university—and by the time
thev're all filled out you don't have another drop of ink left
to write your name another time.
The boy next to you in line is so timid that he's afraid to ask
directions and little does he realize that he's standing in the
same line that he just got out of a minute ago. And there's al-ways
the one Newcomb girl who ends up in tears because her
Richard Brown. No. 4566784
parents mixed her tuition money up and she has to stand in all
these lines again! But who said this registration was such a
good place for dates—this particular Newcomb lass is not
only tearful because of a tuition mixup—but she's also date-less
for the next two weeks.
After getting rid of numerous forms and bucking baby
carriage*—one must stand another hour so that he can get
hi.s I. fJ. picture taken—not that these are the most flattering
pictures but gosh, after standing so long you'd think you'd
look better than a prisoner! The line in the book store is end-less
but all these lines, forms, pictures—all this registration
fright goes to a furthering of higher education.
The last of the long gray lines
There must be a mistake somewhere!

THE
NECESSARY EVIL
Classes—the primary reason we are here—the "raison
d'etre" of the university. Your attitudes toward your classes
are new and they will change during the course of the year.
Everyone feels that first enthusiasm when he walks away
from registration carrying a new schedule and new books.
And everyone knows well that mid-term slump, that "School
sure would be neat if I didn't have classes" feeling. But classes
are the basis and the foundation of the university, and, al-though
we may doubt it now, or make a cynically humorous
remark, our classes are one of the things we shall remember
as an integral part of this year at Tulane.
For the Freshman, classes mean more adjustment. You must
learn the college methods of study, how to take notes, and
how to survive the trauma of exam week. But you too, will
acquire the blase attitude toward classes that typifies the
' '.ll«;ge student. Behind it lies a seldom seen real interest that
almost all of us possess, but few of us would admit.

ANYTHING
TO RELAX
That one hour break between classes finds you relaxing in
the dorm with a quick card game, talk—or maybe even cram-ming
for that exam next hour. If you really need to be kept
awake there's always the cafteria with its potent coffee
—
anything to stay awake. At Newcomb your familiar cry is
heard throughout the dorm—"Isn't there anybody who wants
to play bridge?" Or, "Come listen to my new record—it's
really great!"
Next week—artificial respiration
Coffee breaks are the backbone of the university
... or a quiet chat on the patio
Coffee, cokes, and cigarettes
After sitting through fifty minutes of what you term agony,
a walk around the campus with certain individuals may prove
relaxing, or perhaps you'd rather look over the magazines in
the Book Store or purchase some of the newest contemporary
cards. Some of you may like to relax in the pool practicing
life-saving or swimming strokes—or you might like to sit
around the campus and swap the latest news.
Yes, studying needs breaks whether they be a gang around
the coffee table, a walk around the campus with your favorite
companion or just a quick practice dip in the pool. You have
your choice as to how you want to relax—or study!

The new look on the Newcomb campus
You are the inhabitants of this vast expanse of land known
as Tulane University. You are the main characters in a drama
of life—your life—college life—that is enacted everyday. The
buildings, the stadium with its new lights, the new construc-tion
and the dorms—old and new—these are yours—and it is
you that make these familiar campus scenes what they are.
You, the student body are seen sitting on the steps of build-ings,
taking a break between classes; you are seen walking
the familiar paths to Gibson or the Chemistry building. It is
for you that the endless noise of piledrivers echos every morn-ing
and it is for you that the dorms are built! You are the life
of the school and as you look around you as you walk through
the campus you can proudly say—"This is my school; these
sights are familiar to me because I'm a part of this school
and I shall never forget this year of progress at Tulane."

ROLL GREEN WAVE
Hullaballoo, Ray, Ray! A shout that resounds throughout
the campus during football and basketball seasons and rings
in your ears the whole year through—that's the Greenie spirit.
It is displayed by you through your participation in the num-erous
pep rallies held by your student spirit organizations.
Remember the fabulous night pep rallies when you screamed
your lungs out—and the first time you saw the bonfire illum-inate
the campus? This was your spirit illuminating the
campus—you were behind the Greenies.
LIFE was supposed to be here!
A hell of a Hullabaloo
Final details of Homecoming last until the wee hours Nobility for a night
The most memorable event perhaps was the night you
worked on decorations for Homecoming. The endless nights
of work to get the decorations j ust so—and then the finished
product at six o'clock in the morning, filling you with pride
—
even if you didn't win. And then the game and the presenta-tion
of the Homecoming Court—your court—girls who you
honored by a popular vote to rule your Homecoming and
further illuminate the campus with their pleasant person-alities.
Spirit is a big facet in a school's success or failure with its
student body. You helped to make Tulane the spirited school
that it is—you are the spirit of Tulane and the spirit behind
Tulane's Homecoming.

SPECIAL
OCCASIONS
You can't forget the lively times that you enjoy. The
costumes at the Beaux Arts Ball are a sight that is never to
be forgotten. It is an "eat, drink, and be merry" idea all
night long. These are the celebrations that make Tulane a
memory that will live on in your mind for a long time to
come.
But perhaps a funnier experience for you is to see the
Lawyers on their traditional jaunt through the academic
buildings on Derby Day. This is more fun for you to witness
than Mardi Gras. You see the most "bombed" lawyers in the
school and you can hear the sounds of their canes and voices
resounding throughout the campus; all day long.
On the Newcomb side of the fence the Sophomores get
revenge on the popular Freshman Class. You might witness
the punishment dealed out at Kangaroo Court, such as sitting
on a cake of ice, or squabbling in the mud. You see, this is
all a part of the tradition that is carried on with such fervor
by you, the students who make the events and traditions of
Tulane what they are.

Christmas Night at Tulane
HOW WELL REMEMBERED- TRADITIONS AND
SOCIALS
Got a dime for charity?
Still is the night and you are a part of a caroling group that
puts the entire campus in a mood of solemnity for the coming
season. You experienced not only a good time, but also a per-sonal,
inner joy to know that you were a part of this special
something for Christmas time. And not only was this a tradi-tion
upheld in a joint way by both Newcomb and Tulanians
—
but a long time tradition upheld in a long remembered way.
Parents enjoy a tour of the campus on Parent's Day
You as the Junior Class at Newcomb upheld the Christmas
spirit with your annual Junior Beggar's Day with all pro-ceeds
going to Charity. Your cries of "Any extra pennies!"
will never be forgotten by your schoolmates. And the Parents
Day program enriched the lives of your parents and gave them
never to be forgotten memories.
But all was not devoted to work and tradition. You enjoyed
yourselves on Saturday afternoons at fraternity parries. Or
perhaps vou found more entertainment in listening to the
combos "Beat out their rhythm on a drum." You may have
been among those who were more interested in the contents of
"Kickapoo Joy Juice" than the ryhthms of a combo, but
whatever you enjoyed most—you will never forget the social
side of your college life.

Did you believe what you saw? You had an eight o'clock

from above. You dashed outside—no—the sky wasn't falling
—it was SNOW—Real SNOW. You gave it another hour to
really come down hard and then out you went! Snowballs
were flying everywhere. Snowmen were decorating the
campus everyplace you looked. Girls were running into the
dorms to put on warmer clothes.
You couldn't believe that the white stuff was sticking—you
examined it thoroughly to make sure it was SNOW—when

Sobriety—the order of the day
Fun and frolic on Mardi Gras Day! You're part of a fun-loving
group touring the Quarter, seeing your friends or mak-ing
new friends! You might enjoy this type of day and then
again you might like to be with your favorite companion in a
quiet place in the Quarter—if there is such a thing. The pomp
and circumstance of Rex is a most enjoyable spectacle for you
on this day of celebration—unless of course you have cele-brated
so much by the time Rex's float passes that you really
can't tell too much who it is riding way up there.

Second semester draws to a close, and you are caught

the Poker Game is at its height or the sun is out and the lake
beckons to its sailors? It's rather impossible for you to con-centrate
on Ibsen or Qualitative Chemistry, when the roar of
a sports car whizzes by outside your window or you hear
voices calling "The gangs all at Bruno's—let's go." The lake
offers a quiet recluse for studying—you think—until once
vou're out there and the roller coaster looks so inviting and
the cotton candv smells so good—and tastes even better. You
throw awav vour Chaucer and Milton and go out and enjoy
nature—with the help of the Machine Age. And so exams
come and go.

away the memories of TULANE REVISITED, because in less
than four months you will again be getting reacquainted,
registering, rushing, partying and being a part of a drama
that will continue with others for years to come. You will al-ways
be a part of the TULANE you knew and as you revisit it
vou will realize that the backbone of the school you knew was
YOU.

Alpha Sigma Lambda is the national honorary
scholarship fraternity of university evening colleges.
Membership is based upon scholarship and leader-ship,
and initiates must have at least fifteen semester
hours in subjects outside of their major field.
Theta Chapter was organized at Tulane in 1954.
Twenty charter members were initiated in the spring
of that year, as well as ten honorary members who
were primarily members of the faculty. Honorary
members are named to membership by the executive
committee of the chapter on the basis of their interest
and service to University College.
The original constitution of Theta Chapter was re-vised
in 1957 according to the provisions of the na-tional
constitution. The revision was aimed primarily
toward allowing the members to maintain active
status beyond their date of graduation. The new con-stitution
provides for three grades of membership:
active, associate, and honorary. Members have active
status as long as they are enrolled in any division of
Tulane University and for three years following their
graduation. At the end of this period they are desig-nated
as associate members. The grade of associate
member is also designated for students who have not
graduated, and who do not attend Tulane for a period
exceeding one year. Those in the latter category may
be reinstated to active membership upon petition
when they return to Tulane.

WHO'S WHO
Students from approximately 600 colleges and universi-ties
are nominated and recognized in Who's Who each year.
Campus nominating committees are instructed, in making
their decisions, to consider the student's scholarship; his
cooperation in leadership in academic and extra-curricular
activities; his service and citizenship to ihe school; and his
promise of future usefulness. Recognition of Who's Who
means that the student was first officially recommended from
the university or college he attends and then accepted hy
the organization. These are the Tulane students who have
hi-en selected for Who's Who this year.

Jamb Staff rushing to meet the fateful deadline.
The Jambalaya, as the yearbook of Tulane, tries every
year to give the students of the university the best possible
memories of the year. This job is, of course, up to the staff
of the Jambalaya. The 1958 staff presents this book as the
best of its combined abilities. The talents of photographers
Tom Webb, Betsy Swanson, and Wayne McVadon have been
captured in the casual photographs of life on the campus.
The writing ability of Sandy Schwartz, the persistence and
organization of Joel Jacobson, the humor of John Combe
and the perseverance of Ann Harris are all combined under
the directiveness of the editor, Barney Barnum, and the asso-ciate
editors, Jerry Anthony, Vaughn Burdin, and Norman
Glosserman.
The layouts and designs have been pondered over day in
and day out. The constant clacking of typewriters was a
familiar sound in the ears of the Jamb Staff as the FORE-BODING
calendar on the wall warned us of an approaching
deadline. But, despite rushing to get copy finished, pictures
printed and layouts looking as nearly professional as possi-ble,
the Jambalaya Staff had many moments of fun in pre-paring
this—your yearbook—and we sincerely hope that
you, the student body, have as much fun reading it and
remembering 1958.

Hullabaloo Staff inspects current issu
The first issue of the 1957 Hullabaloo saw a major style
change with the adoption of the regular seven-column news-page.
The modified tabloid page and make-up were thrown
out in an attempt to turn the Hulla into a more professional
looking publication.
First and foremost, the editorial page was designed as a
balance between the radical and conservative elements of
campus thinking. A very real attempt was made to stay away
from the "yellow" journalistic practices so prevalent a couple
of \cars ago. At the same time we took a definite stand on
issues pertinent to the student body.
lb.- Hulla, a- in years past, again took a stand on segre-gation,
stating our belief thai il is an inevitable sociological
i hange. \l-o. we carried on an active "get-out-the-candidates"
campaign in an effort to interest more students in competing

The main activity of the Tulane University Theatre (TUT)
is to produce four shows during the course of the year. It is
an experimental theatre and, consequently, the productions
are variously chosen. Because of the different range of styles,
the audience as well as the casts and crews have an oppor-tunity
to enjoy plays which may be classified anywhere be-tween
tragedy and farce.
All members of the university student body, faculty and
staff are eligible to participate in any phase of the produc-tions:
backstage crew work or as a cast member. There is,
however, an organization known also as the Tulane Univer-sity
Theatre which is composed of those people who have
fulfilled the requirements for active membership by success-fully
participating in two shows per season; probationary
membership is granted to those people who have success-fully
worked one show. This organization assists the faculty
in the choice of the next season's plays, actively participated
in the production of each show, and serves to stimulate inter-est
throughout the campus for the Tulane University The-atre
productions.
There are two honorary organizations into which people
can earn membership through their outstanding service and
ability; The Cornerblock and Keystone Club, awarded for
excellence in backstage work, and the National Collegiate
players, accorded to those who have been "all around"
members of casts and/or crews.
During the 1957-58 season, TUT produced Dangerous
Corner, a mystery with an ironic plot device; Ghosts, Ibsen's
most controversial play which has tragic undertones; Cradle
Song, a graduate student production, which is a sentimental
comedy about life in a convent: and Twelfth Night, one of
Shakespeare's gay and romantic comedies.

Tulane-Newcomb Campus Niters worked long and hard
to successfully present "Name Your Poison," an original
musical comedy, for the 1958 production.
The script for the show, which was given on March 28
and 29, was written by Ed Chadick in early September.
The student organization took the original script and pro-duced
the entire show—wrote the lyrics, planned the chore-ography,
solved the technical problems, constructed scenery,
handled publicity, and drew up a larger and more complete
program.
Under the direction of Mike Parver, work on this murder
set to music got started early in February and the cast
worked diligently until the time of presentation.
The complete cast included approximately 40 people with
lead roles being taken over by Don Dorminey. Roland Guer-rin,
Doris Halpern. Carol Doskey, D. J. Spitzberg, Lenny
Hoffman, Lewis Pailet. and Diane Katz.
The plot centered around the Borgia family and the
schemes of murder and kidnapping that went on concerning
the family situations. There was plenty of excitement plus
love scenes and even experiments with poisons of various
kinds with which several servants were killed in the process
of the play. But eventually everything worked out and the
lovers departed for a happier life.
All in all. Campus Niters did a wonderful job, had a good

Advanced Course, during the summer, our cadets go off to
an Air Force base for a taste of Air Force life under actual

Finally, on graduation day, our finished product receives

He looks back on four years of hard work and many moments
of more pleasurable experiences — the military balls, the

It was just eleven short years ago that Tulane's first AF
ROTC cadets dreamed of flying their B-29's across an ocean
or zooming their F-SO's into the stratosphere. They've done it.
Today, the cadets you see pictured on these pages are ask-ing,
"How many hours is it to the moon?" or, "Which way
to the next space station?" And they, too, will do it. Through
the study of Air Science, they have accepted the challenge
of new frontiers in this dynamic new Air Force ROTC pro-gram.
Since everything has its beginning, so too do our cadets
have their starting point. For freshmen and sophomores, the
Basil Course provides the background in aviation history,
global geography, international tensions, elements of aerial
warfare, targets, bases and operations—a background neces-

TAILHOOK CLUB

TOM RANDOLPH Operations Officer
The Tailhook Club is an organization within the
NROTC Battalion composed of midshipment interested
in Naval Aviation. Although the club is relatively
young, it has functioned with particular success this
year.
To attain Flight membership, the Fledgling must
present a paper on some aspect of Naval Aviation and
take an indoctrinational flight in a navy aircraft. Plus
encouraging participation in the flights available from
the new Naval Air Station, the members hear talks
from Naval Aviators at the regular meetings. Through
these talks, panel discussions, and accompanying
movies, midshipmen considering flight training are
able to choose more wisely what part of the navy best
suits them. Members are provided with the opportun-ity
of getting a close look at what they can expect
during flight training through an annual trip to the
Annapolis of the Air at Pensacola. Florida. These trips
have proven to be enjoyable as well as interesting and
enlightening.
In today's age of aviation, the Tailhook Club is pre-sented
wr ith a particular opportunity to support the
NROTC program through promoting interest in and
by fostering increased knowledge of the prominent
position that Naval Aviation has in our national de-fense.
