On Beat with D B Commanding Officer Michael McGowan leads the Drum and Bugle Corps in practice drills. The Drill Team works hard to achieve a high level of precision in both marching and manipulating the rifle. are evaluated according to the ability to march and handle the rifles. In addition to drill meets, the Tulane Drill Team has earned a respectable reputation in this area for the annual Mardi Gras Drill Meet that is held in the spring. This event occurs at the site of the former Sugar Bowl Stadium. Although this invitational meet is predominantly attended by schools from the South, universities from different parts of the country come to New Orleans for the grand activities. The Tulane NROTC team has placed among the top five teams for the past three years, and it has brought home trophies for the past two years. Similar to the drill team, the Tulane Drum and Bugle Corps is also a group of very specialized members of the ROTC pro- gram. This dedicated group of musicians provides the music for all navy activities. The Drum and Bugle Co rps participates in both formal occasions and review ceremo- nies. This corps also provides the music for anniversary festivies. Among the many parades in which the Drum and Bugle Corps participates are, of course, the various springtime Mardi Gras parades. In these parades, the Drum and Bugle Corps represents both Tulane Univer- sity and the Navy ROTC units. This past September, these musicians were sched- uled to participate in the sesquicentennial activities on campus; the rain cancelled all plans, however, and the musicians did not get to add their touch to the celebration activities. Although no one saw the Drum and Bugle Corps on September 21 , it can be heard each Tuesday as the members lead the ROTC students onto Butler quad for drills. Both the Drill Team and the Drum and Bugle Corps are an integral part of the ROTC program, each contributing uniquely to the various activities of the Navy ROTC way of life at Tulane University. — M.

Now for something completely different. Here ' s a fun section. The editors have compiled information and pic- tures that do not really fit in any other section and placed it all in this, the Happenings section. Creativity is one thing that Tulane students do not lack, but it ' s sometimes diffi- cult to get them to show it off. With others, we didn ' t have to try too hard. In this section, we will prove that some Newcomb girls do have the guts to show a little extra to our cameras. We ' ll show that some people act really strangely in campus dorms. We will even present faces around campus that you probably didn ' t know existed. It ' s all here . . . people flying, today ' s in and outs, music, movies and all that stuff — something different.
