Screamin ' Eamon cooks up a bilchin ' line-up for WTUL, dedicating, Aches and Pains to his ad- ministrative staff and Teach Your Children Well to the world. Children ' s Miracle Network benefited by B.M.O.C. Contest S, CtfiulrniJii Bobby Hathaway ' s only problem during the day was his inability to work the phone system. After receiving some assistance he was able to continue with his presidential duties. Phi Mu Lorraine Eismueller receives a note from President Hathaway excusing her for being late to class. On Thursday, April 14, 1988, a curious event occurred on Tulane ' s campus. It was a freaky Thursday as the President of Tu- lane, Eamon Kelly, traded places with stu- dent Bobby Hathaway. The Big Man On Campus, devised by Phi Mu, was the first of its kind in Tulane ' s history. This successful project raised close to $500. The money ac- quired from this fund-raising enterprise will be used to improve local children ' s hospitals. Sweeping the votes with an overwhelming victory of 7153, Bobby Hathaway, the gen- eral manager of WTUL, was the lucky stu- dent chosen to take Eamon Kelly ' s place for a day. Bobby was given a university excuse for missing classes, as he took over Kelly ' s du- ties. President Kelly was relieved from his usu- al hectic schedule as he stepped into the shoes of Hathaway. Not only did he attend Hathaway ' s classes, but he also became the host of Hathaway ' s progressive radio show from 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. Phi Mu is optimistic about the future of this contest. They believe that it kills two birds with one stone. First, this project was a fun method for raising money for their philanthropy Children ' s Miracle Network. In addition, it was the best way to select the ultimate Big Man on Tulane ' s campus. • — Michelle Portman B.M.O.C. Contest 65

students make a conscious effort to fight Multiple Sclerosis SAMS Rock-Alike Fellow CACTUS members, Jim Ferraro and Greg Prosser, entertain the audience in the Rat with their lip sync version of Rockin ' Robin. J Adair A moment in the spotlight was not just a self-rewarding experience but a charitable event. Students Against Multiple Sclerosis — SAMS — sponsored its third annual lip syn contest on April 7, 1988. The participat- ing students were able to sing and dance to any song of their choice. A few of the songs performed were You ' ve Lost That Lovin ' Feeling, Rockin ' Robin and Surfin ' Safa- ri. Members of the audience were allowed to cast three votes after donating $3.00. The first place winner was a group of Delta Tau Deltas who waddled like ducks to Bird Is The Word. The lip-syn contest was just one of the ways in which SAMS raised money. Another major event was the Cutathon, where local hair salons donated time and talent to cut and style students ' hair. This event originat- ed the previous year at Tulane and was so successful that it was adopted as a national SAMS fundraiser. Money raised this year totaled an incredi- ble amount of $11,000. Sixty percent of the funds will benefit the New Orleans area and the rest will go to the National Multiple Scle- rosis Society. The Tulane chapter has gained national recognition as one of the top five fundraisers of the 200 participating campuses. • — Sandra Rohde Members of the Varsity Green Wave Swim Team take time out from practice to sing their rendition of the Beach Boys hit Surfin ' Safari.
