CONRAD, Editor JAMES C. HANCHEY, Associate Editor Where stately oaks and broad magnolias Shade inspiring halls, There stands our dear old Alma Mater . . . From September to June, the Old War Skule is a lively place, full of wonderful people and wonderful times clubs and exams and parties and projects but most of ally the students. Who to us recalls Confusion, confusion, as these girls unpack the multitude of essentials for their year at college. Mothers are the worrying kind, so the phone booths overflow with reassuring calls back home. . . . fond memories From the corners of the country, from the north, the south, the east, and the west come the students. From the corners of the world, from Mexico, Japan, South America, and India come the students. By boat and bus, train and plane, they flock to the campus. And the ensuing scene is one of near riot. Cars must be unloaded, rooms located, and roommates met and given the once-over. Lost trunks need tracking down, and clothes must be strategically crammed into post- age-sized closets. From the upperclassmen dorms sound screams and shouts of Long time no see! and Where are all those letters you promised? The freshmen dorms resound with cries of delight and homesickness, with many long distance calls home to Tell Mom I got here okay, and with the wonder of making new friendships. Similar noises echo down the long halls of the Stadium, and the fraternity houses come to life after the dormant summer. From end to end, the campus hums with activity in the shimmer- ing September heat as the students pour in to begin their long year of work and play. For the freshmen the year begins with a little of both as they . . . - Notice the contrast between what boys bring for a year at school and how much girls deem necessary. Entering the hallowed halls of the boys ' dorm, these LSU students prepare to settle down for the year. One of the many activities during Orientation Week drew these freshman boys to the Greek theater. A really high class orchestra entertains the dogs with smashing success at an Orientation Week as- sembly. . . . participate in Orientation Week. An exciting round of parties and programs, it is designed to in- troduce the newcomers to LSU. The girls are taken under the wing of the Freshman Advisors who guide them through the week. The boys are taken under the wing of the military who just guide them. The dogs attend panels and assemblies to give them an idea of the meaning and purpose of a university. They are entertained by the Student Centers and learn of the religious side of campus life. Water- melon in abundance is served at the YW-YMCA party following the Pigskin Preview, where frosh meet gridiron members. Bald heads and pony tails are paired off for the events under the watchful eyes of the advisors. Probably the most participated-in event of the week is the physical-taking party. Some peo- ple may disagree that it ' s a party, but participated-in it is. Long lines of nervous freshmen wait impa- tiently to get through, hoping that maybe it ' s all a bad dream. While the freshmen are still in the party mood, they are whirled through . . . This group of freshman boys has fallen victim to the charms of the Field House as they take a break in the week ' s activities. Ah, the Military. Here it has managed to assemble as attractive a bunch of bald heads as can be found on campus. . . . fraternity rush week. The Campanile steps be- come the meeting place for members and rushees be- fore they leave for rush dates. Rivaling the Panhel- lenic traffic jam, the cars congregate to chauffeur the boys to the frat house for lunch or perhaps to some- one ' s home for a party. Strictly stag, the afternoon gatherings help rushees to meet members and look over each fraternity. When evening falls, though, the scene changes somewhat. The houses light up, the rush girls arrive, and the parties begin. Rushees are treated to the taste of fraternity social life as friend- ly handshakes and attractive rush girls greet them at every door. After a week ot revelry interspersed with serious talks about fraternity life, the rushees sign their preference cards. Shortly after, the bids are distributed, and the campus again buzzes with the excitement of who went what. With the rush weeks drawing to a close, the campus is swept into a new activity, . . . Afternoons at the frat houses give the rushees a chance to meet their prospective fraternity brothers. How about a dance? And the rush girls gladly oblige as they assist the fraternity boys in rush week. These rushees seem to be getting a thorough indoc- trination during one of their visits to the frat house. Dancing is always a popular pastime at the rush par- ties and with good music and pretty rush girls, why not? A congestion forms at the doorway of the house as the freshman, rush girls and members get acquainted. . . . for classes. While the freshmen are still aghast that people can smoke in class and the upperclass- men are taking good advantage of the privilege, the learning begins. Books and Libraries never fails to amaze people. ( This looks like a crip course. Oh, yeah. This is my third semester in it. ) The smell of sulphur again wafts out from behind Chemistry building doors, and the Med students slave over huge books of small print and cadavers. A kaliedo- scope of sound pours forth from the Music building as aspiring performers master the three B ' s. The past is relived at the rate of a couple of hundred years a week in History class, where it ' s reputed that if you drop your pencil, you may miss the entire Renais- sance. As the Campanile chimes two o ' clock, the campus fills up with students going to and from class. Some say this is the best part about classes. t Imagine having military and chemistry on the same day. Maybe he ' s learning how to blow up the Company Commander ' s office. A study of the heavens intrigues these astronomy students as the instructor explains the fine points of a telescope. The Campanile Clock is a well-loved object. It faith- fully chimes every hour to let the students out of class. Libraries are for reading, studying and thinking. During exam week, they have another use sleeping. Just when people were beginning to think the con- tractors had gotten mixed up and were building the library underground, it miraculously started going up. Of course it ' s a class. You can ' t expect a dairy stu- dents to learn everything about a cow in the class- room. Students may find their classes meeting in the .irangest places from former hallways to reconverted restrooms. And the noise continues as the library goes up or, more correctly, down. (Then there ' s the story about the boy who used a carton of cigarettes to bribe a workman to drill outside his classroom window until the instructor was forced to dismiss class. Not at all insignificant in classwork are the dreaded exams. Four times a year, students go through the ritual of cramming watching the sun- rise over the edge of a Botany book, frantically de- ciphering notes taken when you were half asleep in the library. Then the Day. Then relief. Then the grades. College is not all work though. It ' s inter- spersed often with events such as ... This is where it all takes place the gridiron battles, the colorful hall time shows and the frenzied cheer- ingTiger stadium. Many hours of practice on the part of the Tiger Band go into the presentation of the clever halftime shows. I I iv illii r . . . football games. An evening of football usually begins with the hustle and bustle of pre-game ex- citement. There ' s a touch of chill in the air, and gay chrysanthemums bloom on every feminine lapel. The towering stadium lights cast a glow over the multi- colored stands, swirling cheerleaders and stalwart purple and gold on the field. Despite several heart- breaking losses, spirits ran high. As ihe scores mount- ed, lor better or worse, the band and cheerleaders led the crowd in cheering on their Tigers. Blood and sweat and determination were poured out on the field as the teams clashed. When halftime rolls around, a colorful show begins. The inarching bands and major- ettes of both schools contribute to the pageantry. An extra lift was provided the fans this year after their grief over the death of our I eloved Mike. Looking terriblv tiny in his huge cage, but roaring with all the true Ole War Skule spirit . . . These freshman boys at the first game seem undaunted by the humiliation of being seen in public in the required pajamas. The audacity of our green and blue rival sometimes has to be erased here under the supervision of several disgruntled LSU students. Coach Dietzel sends in a player during the Texas A .-M game which opened the 1956 season. Students push forward in the early morning sunshine to get a better look at the baby Mike II. Coach Higginbotham evinces a spirited growl from the little Bengal during Mike II Day festivities. . . . Mike II arrived. Purchased at the price of $2,500 from Audubon Park Zoo in the wicked city to the south, the little Bengal fills the role of mascot. A warm welcome was extended to the newcomer as classes were dismissed to let the students join the celebration. Very dashingly, Mike II arrived at three A.M. and had to wait until daylight to be greeted. Several students can testify to the all-night sitting stand. Come morning, though, the cheerleaders and crowds pressed forward to get a better look at the new mascot. The original Mike, after whom the Tiger mascot was named, addresses the crowds during welcoming ceremonies. Even before Mike II arrived on the campus, much preparation went into making him comfortable, such as repairs on his cage. And here he is! Our own Mike II giving a Tiger roar in the true Ole War Skule tradition. ... Pouring into cars, trucks or what-have-you, the students formed a parade with the little tiger in his cage at the head. Down Nicholson Drive and into town, the procession traveled. On Third Street it stopped for a pep rally. The cheerleaders performed right in the middle of the street as the students cheered and Mike II roared his Bengal approval. With the excitement running even throughout the shopping crowds who stopped to watch, everyone hopped back on board, and the parade wound its way back to campus. Understandably, Mike II fast wins his way into the hearts of everyone who meets him. Some of his most ardent admirers were intro- duced at .

Deep concentration is required to draw ev en an alligator ' s eye straight. A lonely girl and a lonely tiger keep each other com- pany in the cold light of dawn on Homecoming Day. . . . Homecoming. The day of return and reverie arrived as LSU met Florida in a gridiron battle. To members of the Greeks, Homecoming means late hours, strained muscles and aching fingers tired of twisting crepe paper. But the results are well worth it. The campus was alive with gay decorations de- picting scenes of vast agony for the Gators and great triumph for the Tigers. Fraternities brave the early morning hours too, for the decorations must go up and besides, they ran out of crepe paper the night before. On stage at the Homecoming Show, one of the many awards is presented before the ap- preciative audience. Homecoming crowds line the parade ground to watch the militar y display their marching skill. The first item on the agenda for grads and students alike was the military parade. Cadets and their spon- sors marched to the parade ground, displaying their skill for the onlookers. A number of other morning activities were scheduled for the alums, including a giant barbeque courtesy of the Block and Bridle Club. In the afternoon, LSD turned on the talent for the guests. The annual homecoming show Tiger Fever took place in the Gym. Carefully selected students blended their talent under the direction of Gene Quaw to make a wonderful, lively production. ' ho could extend a more enticing welcome to the alums than these lovelv co-eds. These ten co-eds added their talents to make the Homecoming Show a smashing success. This alumnus, at the Block and Bridle barbeque with his wife, graduated from LSU in 1895. Quartets are popular these days, so naturally the Homecoming Show had one of the best on hand to en- tertain the alums. Awards lor the most outstanding Homecoming decora- tions are a high point in the evening for the winners. As the afternoon wore on, the alums took a breather and recalled other Homecomings in other years on this campus. Some paid a visit to their former frater- nity houses; some drifted back to old classrooms; some just relaxed a moment under the big oaks and looked back through the years. Their reverie was soon inter- rupted, though, for time was flying and the game began at 8:00. Back through the same gates they poured into the same stadium, students of yesterday and today. Many of the events that the alums recall on Homecoming have remained the same and probably always will. Among these are the many . . . Pi Kappa Alpha created a waterfall to show just how far down the Florida Gators would fall. Student Body President Enos Parker speaks to the alums at the football game. The skilled LSU band forms a huge banner for enter- tainment of the Homecoming crowds at halftime. Little Mike riding high indicates the way this frat hopes it will be. Theta Kappa Phi created this massive and artistic decoration tor 1956 Home- coming. Work, work and more work for the Kappa ' s as they prepare their decoration. Presenting the winning fraternity decoration-Phi Delta Theta. Pi Beta Phi welcome the alums with a recollection of past Tiger victories. Sigma Chi offered a really southern theme complete with wide-eyed Florida alligators. The PiKA ' s extended this welcome on the Gator ' s visit to Tigerland.

Delta Gamma made a pictorial display of the Gators downfall at 1956 Homecoming. This young lady remembered which stone not to step on. Bet she passed all of her exams, too. Being careful not to step on the seal of LSU in the Field House Lounge is a much-abused tradition. . . . traditions. No college is complete without a host of traditions passed down through the years, and LSU is certainly not lacking. One of the most revered of these traditions concerns the large square in the pave- ment in the front of the Law Building. It is widely known that those who step on this square will without a doubt flunk their next exam. Students on their way to Tiger Town can be seen scrupulously avoiding this mistep. Another tradition dear to the hearts of all students is the kiss under the Campanile. Any boy walking through the passageway beneath the Tower is entitled to kiss the young lady he is escorting. It is said that no girl is a true co-ed until she has ex- perienced this. Flanking the north door of the Gym are the two Civil War cannons which play a part in another famous tradition. Inside the main door of the Field House lies the beautiful seal of LSU. Despite the fact that students are supposed to pass around it, many unthinking feet trod it every day. Which twin had the Toni? These four barbers seem determined to make sure no one ever finds out. Once again the cannons fail to fire as two LSU co-eds pass by; people are be- ginning to wonder. Whoever invented this tradition ought to get a medal for service above and beyond the call of duty. An A.I.Ch.E. initiate pays the price of membership. Who can doubt the purity of water at the hands of this expert? _ ;. All freshman boys can testify to another famous tradi- tion. Immediately after their arrival at school, they are waylaid by upperclassmen and shorn of their hair. To the freshmen ' s great distaste, some of the would- be barbers experiment artistically with their topknots, creating some ludicrous haircuts. Another much-prac- ticed tradition is that of mock initiations by several organizations. Students crossing the campus are highly entertained by the antics of the bearded G M boys, the military maneuvers of the Pershing Rifles and the annual pumping process. Not in the category of tradi- tions, yet of equal annual importance are . . . EJ L. SPATES CHEMICAL L Oh, what is so low as an uninitiated mem- ber? This particular one seems to be in awe of the hierarchy. Did I say something m ng, sir? Prob- ably he didn ' t, but someone can always find a reason to harass a pledge. This initiate seems to be giving an impromptu side- walk show much to the amusement of a passer-by. On the more practical side, the initiates keep the cannons in good shape. After all, you never can tell when those Yankees will come again. Decisions . . . always decisions, as the LSU boys pond- er over the pictures of the candidates tor Darling. Will Richardson looks a little undecided as upperclass- nien cast their votes for class officers. Strong military minds can be counted on to give an intelligent vote in the Junior Division elections. . . . the elections. LSU is host to a number of varied elections, both governmental and honorary. The first of these during the year is the colorful Junior Division and class officer election. Occurring at about the same time as these elections is the voting for Homecoming Queen. Candidates put up by every male organization on campus are voted on by the football team and eliminated to three finalists. The entire student body votes on one of the three for queen, and the remain- ing two become maids in her court. Another im- portant election which occurs on campus is the annual Darling contest. A panel of representatives from every male organization on campus picks twenty-five final- ists, whose pictures are posted in the Field House. On that day, the lounge overflows with discerning males as they cluster around the pictures to weigh the attributes of each candidate and cast their vote. The winner is the Darling of LSU with the next six highest candidates forming her court. The seven beauties are kept a secret until the night of the Gumbo Ball when they are presented to the student body. The winners of the above-mentioned JD elec- tions have another role besides holding office. Later on in the fall comes . . . The lovely Homecoming Queen is accompanied by the two maids in her court. A board of discerning judges carefully discuss and consider the candidates before electing finalists in the Darling contest. It ' s hard for a man to decide how to vote with such effective persuasion being used at the JD polls. Candidates and supporters gather around the banner- bedecked Gym Armory to canvass the voters. : -, i ' CHRUEBEflRD Elvis has nothing on these four winners in the quartet division of the talent show. Emblems of royalty are bestowed on the Freshman Day King and Queen at the crowning ceremony. She ' s lovely and talented as a mat- ter of fact, the Most Talented Freshman Girl. TV ' s most famous pianist performs for the freshmen at the talent show. A number of things come under the heading of talent, and a bit of the exotic always livens up the show. This smiling couple takes a few moments out to cut a royal rug at the Freshman Day dance. . . . Freshman Day the day of jubilee for all the poor mistreated dogs. Dismissed from class at noon, the freshmen prepare to take part in the festivities. These activities are designed not only to honor all the freshmen but especially to honor the court. The king of Freshman Day is the newly-elected president of the Junior Division, while his queen and court are com- posed of other officers, candidates and outstanding members of the freshman class. Traditionally, the frosh co-eds are met by the members of the military and marched to the parade grounds. However, a very soggy precipitation waylaid plans a little diis year so that everyone just met in the Gym. With the crown- ing ceremony comes the very solemn moment of lib- eration after which the dogs are dogs no more. From here on out, the activities are planned for the entertainment of the royal court and their subjects. On the stage of the Gym Armory, a galaxy of fresh- man talent is presented ranging from quartets to comedy acts. The climax of the show is the presenta- tion of the Most Talented Freshman Boy and Girl. Dancing to a dreamy orchestra, the freshmen meet and get acquainted. Come curfew time, the festivities end, and the freshman girls rush to slip in before the dorm door closes and the lock dicks. Tired and weary, happy to leave dog days behind, the freshmen end their special day. However, festivities never end at LSU, for not long afterward the campus greets . . . . . . the Rodeo. Sponsored annually by the Block and Bridle Club, this event provides thrills and spills tor the student body to watch. Preceding the actual performance, President Middleton declares Western Day, and all the wranglers dust off their boots and don their ten-gallon hats. A hoopin ' and hollerin ' parade advertises the rodeo to the students as the campus is overrun with cowboys, horses and clowns. That night the show begins beneath the huge dome of the Coliseum. Kicking up quite a bit of dust, the Block and Bridle members provide the crowds with a host of events including calf-roping, bareback rid- ing, bronc riding and, of course, the clowns. With ill 1 remarkable skill and aching vertebrae, the cowboys run through this series of breathtaking displays. An- other highlight of the evening is the presentation of the lovely Rodeo Queen, in western dress no less. Shortly after the rodeo completes its run, the Coliseum is again put into use. Basketball season be- gins as the Tiger ragers battle it out on the court, despite the apparent lack of interest from the stu- dents. Thrills of other kinds were provided by the students throughout the year as several other . . . A rather lonely looking lion rests peaceful- ly in the University lake after the annual theft of the SAE mascot. The SAE ' s rescue their lions in fine style complete with raft, banners, and much horseplay. . . . events of special interest occur. The campus is large and filled with energetic students who sometime stem their energies into dubious channels. Of major interest as a student project was the rather successful panty raid. Not quite as riotous as last year ' s uprising, it still managed to be pretty lively. Chanting and yell- ing, a group of approximately 500 boys congregated around the girl ' s dorms begging for souvenirs. Impos- sible as it sounds, it is said that one boy did actually get in a first floor window of West Hall and confis- cated an entire drawer of unmentionables. Probably, though, this lone boy didn ' t cause nearly as much panic as the horde of policemen charging through the dorm. Another honored prank of LSU, almost a tradi- tion in itself, is the annual theft of the SAE lions. This year an unnamed fraternity pledge class, being ordered to get the lions, did a very decisive job of it. The next morning a group of disgruntled SAE ' s arose to find their lions peacefully resting in the middle of the University lake. The mobile news unit almost went out of circulation after this high-spirited attack during the panty raid. Waving souvenirs , the students grimace for the photographers. Woe to the person who gets within this line of fire; there a re many ways of relax- ing from the ardor of school-work. This fellow seems to have ac- cumulated quite a horde of loot, and he doesn ' t look like he ' s going to let go of it. . F= y ' I I Actress Terry Moore gave the crowds at the SAE house quite a thrill, although the gentleman on her left seems very nonchalant. Nonsense, it doesn ' t hurt a bit. Well, uhh, not too much anyway. POUO SHOT : On the more constructive and serious side, the stu- dents also participated in the Dollars for Hungary drive. Sponsored bv the Student Council, the drive succeeded in collecting about two thousand dollars in cash and several thousand pounds of clothing for relief of the Hungarians. An annual student activity of much interest on campus is the naming of members of Mortar Board and ODK. Several outstanding stu- dents were recognized with this highest of all cam- pus honors. Deserving students are also recognized in the naming of Who ' s Who. A great many other students were recognized, too namely with a shot in the arm. In a campus-wide drive courtesy of the in- firmary, LSU students were innoculated for Polio. Back to the lighter side of events on campus, the SAE ' s seem to have a stronghold on sensation this vear, including a very sensational visitor. While in town plugging her latest picture, actress Terry Moore dined in style at the SAE house with plenty of good food and awestruck admirers. But it can ' t be said the SAE ' s have a stronghold on movie stars. In town for the premiere of Drango. actor Jeff Chandler was honored at a banquet by Kappa Delta. The high- light of the luncheon was the naming of the star as honorary sweetheart of Epsilon of Kappa Delta. Not only awestruck, but also stagestruck are the admirers of . Five smiling Kappa Delta ' s cluster around their honored guest, actor Jeff Chandler. This young lady is receiving one of the many honors given to deserving LSU students at the convocations. These are only three of many campaigners who got out and collected money for the Dollars for Hungary drive. Emoting like this gives drama students good ex- perience in the art of fine acting. Relax friends. It ' s not a real murder, but the expert acting of these LSU students make it look very convincing. . . . drama at LSU. The excellent speech department provides material for the outstanding student per- formances. The smell of greasepaint and dusty props, the glitter of footlights and the faint queasiness around the stomach region all blend to make the back-stage excitement prevalent at each performance. After each performance the greasepaint remains, as do the dusty props and glittering footlights. Perhaps there may be distinctly more than just queasiness around the stomach region. But added to it all is the warm welcome sound of applause flooding up from the audience. In this the performers find grati- fication. During the past year, innumerable plays have been given, among them Liliom and The Tri- umph of the Egg . Usually under the direction of Mi s Sharon Anthony, they were performed with skill and vividness to appreciative audiences. Equally as ap- preciative are the audiences of ...

With such a large student body and so many different organizations, LSU can boast a number of formals. Coming first this past year was the annual Military Ball at which the officers and their sponsors are presented. The Barrister ' s Ball was exclusively for law students and their dates. In mid-December came the beautiful Gumbo Ball. One of the gayest formals on campus is the annual Pan- American Fiesta. An all-campus dance, the event features a beautiful Pan-American Fiesta queen cho- sen from a number of candidates. The spring season brought the all-campus dance sponsored by the Stu- dent Council featuring Ralph Martere. Spring also brought the series of fraternity and sorority formals for their members, dates and guests. All in all, it can be said to have been a sparkling, dancing year.

The roving camera eye catches a couple who seem to resent the invasion of their privacy. The 1957 Darling, Connie Garidel, and her court of beauties pose with Santa Glaus at the Gumbo Ball. Hundreds of couples dance to the dreamy music of Les Elgart at the annual filitary Ball. One of Les Elgart ' s musicians plucks a tune as the band entertains guests at the Military Ball. Engineering royalty is crowned Irene Gauthier, queen of the 1957 Engineer ' s Ball. The Spanish-style architecture of the Baptist Student Center makes it one of the loveliest buildings on campus. One of the most important duties of the ministers and priests on campus is to advise and guide their student congregations. LSU students fill the pews at the Catholic Student Center Chapel for the annual mission. . . . students centers. In the belief that no existence is complete without the religious element, the various chapels and meeting places are provided. Several reli- gions are represented on campus in the student cen- tersEpiscopalian, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and the Christian Scientists. Most of the chapels maintain organizations such as the Catholic Newman Club and the Methodist Wesley Foundation to bring the student closer to his church when he ' s far from home. The student centers have religious programs, recreational activities, parties and social work programs; they often participate in the intra- mural sports. One major project of all the centers combined is Religious Emphasis Week. Each year a main topic of particular interest to the students is chosen. Panels are organized, speakers obtained and the project goes into full swing. Speaking in dorms, in Greek meetings and in many other organizational meetings, the topic is presented to the students and discussed by and for them. Of the many other events for the students are the . This peaceful look that pervades St. Alban ' s Chapel is symbolic of the haven of peace that the chapels on campus provide. All of the student centers have well-stocked libraries which are open for student use and enjoyment. Dr. Clement Duval of the Sorbonne spoke at the Analytical Chemistry Symposium held here on campus. The premiere ballerina of the Ballet of Paris enter- tained the students dur- ing this Artists and Lec- ture presentation. Law students hear one of the many speakers who appeared on the campus. . . . presentations of the Artists and Lecture series. Varied in substance, they cover a wide field of artis- tic endeavor. Cultural achievements are an integral part of the life of every concientous college student. Through this Artist and Lecture Series, a number of artists were brought this year right to the stage of the Gym Armory, right to the LSU student body. In- cluded in the repetoire were the beautiful Ballet of Paris, performed with true artistry, and the re- nowned lecturer Homer Dodge. Other presentations were the St. Louis Symphony and Anna Russell, the international commedienne. The stage of the Gym Armory again came into use when the annual Varsity Show was presented. Under the direction of Gene Quaw, the musical features the talents of mem- bers of the student body. The talents of the mem- bers of the student body are well employed in yet another way throughout the year that ancient pas- time of . Another Artists and Lecture Series presentation was Homer Dodge, re- nowned lecturer. International concert comedienne Anna Russell performed for the stu- dents. Dr. Jose Chiriboga from South America lectured to the Law students during the past year. The Artists and Lecture Series took great pride in presenting the St. Louis Symphony to the students this year. This shady spot by Allen Hall provides a perfect stopping place to pass along the latest gossip. The Field House overflows with loung- ers who like to relax with a coke or cof- fee before trudging back to class. . . . passing the time of day. No one can study and at- tend class all of the time, so various methods of rest and relaxation are employed by the LSU students. Perhaps the best known of all pastimes is just talking. Students gather at any spot on campus to gab in the halls, on the library steps, in the dorms and in the Cof- fee Shop. Actually, talking may be considered an over- all pastime that accompanies all the others. The Field House is a popular meeting place for students, par- ticularly between classes. With the jukebox blaring and a mug of coffee in hand, they take a break before continuing the long day of exhausting study. Stu- dents can be seen at all times thumbing through the magazines right beneath the sign that expressly says not to do so. Could this be from the lack of news- papers to read? While relaxing in the Field House, The main gripe of motorists on campus (aside from parking) is the flood of pedestrians who take their time cross- ing streets. T hat ' s the matter, boys? Can ' t you read signs? students usually pay a visit to the Post Office. Curs- ing silently at their empty boxes, they pause a moment to talk with other disappointed letter-seekers. After a rendezvous in the Field House, the students pour out on the campus again. Irate motorists pause to let the migration cross the streets, the quadrangle fills up and the stag line in Allen Hall forms again. The Post Office never loses its popularity. Sometimes college seems an awfully long way from home. The stag line seems to be enjoy- ing some private joke, while the boy at the left looks like he found an empty mailbox. Busy as little bees, the military boys cheerfully and willingly keep their rifles in good shape. For students who find walking plebian, bicycles are an alternative and provide an excellent answer to the frustration of parking. Those who have a few free minutes find that watching the library go up is an ex- cellent pasttime. Free time in the dorm is quite often passed in a card game, and floating bridge games are not uncommon. One of the most favorite pasttimes of students is indulging in a cup of coffee. Come nightfall, student pasttimes change somewhat. Some visit their student centers to play table tennis, dance and meet friends. Cars flock to the dorms and girls date cards are signed out, and they ' re out on the town. Whatever their occupation, students can be de- pended on to have a good time and wash away the cares and troubles of the day. All of this is an im- portant part of their college education, and remem- bering and cherishing it all they prepare to wind up the year with the inevitable act of ... For students who seek to pass the time outside of the ivy halls of LSU, the Pastime fills the bill. The orderly confusion of the Field House is a familiar sight to all good coffee-drinking students. There just isn ' t any better pastime. But watch out for the Campus Security. The interminable bus wait is a rather unpleasant pastime, avoided only by these who have wheels. Card games can be serious business when the stakes get high enough. This one looks like its well on its way. Not that rioting is a habitual pastime at LSU, but it did create quite a bit of interest this past year. For those who find the inside of the Field House a little too nerve-wrack- ing, there are always the steps. . . . saying goodbye. Foremost of the departing stu- dents are those who leave for the last time the gradu- ating seniors. Theirs is a desirable accomplishment- four years of hard work and concentrated study, cheer- ing the Tigers and dancing ' til dawn, keeping old friendships and constantly making new ones, building ideals and reshaping ideas. Others are departing too. Freshmen will return upperclassmen, juniors will be in the graduating class, and sophomores will remain sort of midway. They have had a good year, a year filled with excitement over parties and despair over exams. Trunks must be gotten out of storage, suit- cases packed and notes taken during dull classes must be so rted out and thrown away. Cars must be loaded, rooms vacated, summer addresses gotten and good- byes said from every dorm, from the frat houses, from the stadium, from the deserted classrooms comes the cry: See you next year. A dm i n istra t io n Our administration at L.S.U.. headed by Governor Long, the Board of Supervisors, and President Middleton, com- pletely maintains the University as one of the foremost in the country. The tremendous task of obtaining operational funds is carried by the Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors, which is composed of sixteen members who are appointed by the governor for a term of fourteen years. The members represent citizens from all parts of the state and function as spokesmen for the University in the legis- lature. The governor, being an ex officio member of the Board, plays an important role in the administration of our University. Known to the students as the General, is our President. Lieutenant General Troy H. Middleton, L.S.U. ' s thirteenth President, who has distinguished himself in so many ways as an educator and administrator. His service to our university, beginning in 1930. has consistently been pro- gressive and eminent, with the promise of a continuance of achieving distinction and honor for himself and for L.S.U. Governor Earl K. Long, ex officio member of the Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors. 4 President Trov H. Middleton Left to Right: Percy E. Roberts. Mrs. Ella Aldrich Schwing, C. J. Dueas, Mrs. Margaret Dixon, Sterling W. Gladden, President Troy H. Middleton, George Baillio, Chairman: Theo. F. Cangelosi, Vice-Chairman ; Dean Charles E. Smith, Tom W. Dutton, Horace Wilkinson, Jr., Joseph C. LeSage, Jr., James E. Smitherman. Charles E. Smith, Dean of the University, is the ranking administrator in all academic matters. Life for the student at L.S.U. is very much affected by the Dean of the University, Dean of Administration, Dean of Women and Dean of Men. These four people are con- cerned with all phases of student activities. The Dean of University is responsible for the preparation of the cata- logue, the university calendar and class schedules. He is the co-ordinator of work of the several colleges and schools of the University. He studies the needs of the educational di- visions of the University and assists the President in appor- tioning funds of the University among the schools and col- leges. The Dean of Administration claims the role of fiscal agent and business manager of the University. He assists in the preparation and control of the budget and maintains a perpetual inventory of all permanent property of the Uni- versity, and sees to it that University property is insured. Every student, upon his arrival at L.S.U., becomes indoc- trinated with all the rules and regulations set up by the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women, which govern the activities of the individual and organizations. These two deans seek to maintain order and discipline on the campus to insure smooth functioning of activities and social events on campus. They are especially concerned with the health and general welfare of the students, and frequently provide helpful understanding through individual counseling. They provide information and counseling in plans for carrying on extracurricular activities. Probably the most publicized function of the Dean of Women and Dean of Men is that of dealing with discipline cases. Actually, University disci- pline is administered jointly through administrative pro- cedure and student government, with the Deans as Chair- men of the Faculty Committees on Discipline. Daniel Borth, Dean of Administration, is the chief business officer of the University. 64 A dm in istra to rs Arden O. French, Dean of Men. and Helen Bridger Gordon, Dean of Women, are responsible for the general welfare and con- duct of the students. 65 Aerial view of the medical center in New Orleans which in- cludes the Louisiana State University Medical School and Charity Hospital. Because of its proximity, Charity Hospital offers excellent facilities for practical training to L.S.U. medical students. The Sciences In the center of the romantic city of New Orleans among, or despite, all the frivolity, industry, and business, LSU ' s medical students pore over thick volumes of books until the wee hours of the morning. Each Monday at nine a whirlwind of activities engulfs the medics, taking them on a round of extensive classes, study, and frequent quizzes. They occasionally claim that the notes taken during one week in the Med school exceeds the quantity of those taken in undergraduate work. Of course diey gripe about the amount of work required, but diey objectively view the fact diat diere is a myriad of knowledge they must learn which will constantly serve them in the future. On weekends, the medics leave their antiseptic world briefly to take part in gala parties which are unrivalled by ordinary campus func- tions. Their annual splurge is the Cadaver Ball, which cele- brates the successful completion of the first semester (for some) and the freshman ' s final farewell to their cadavers Left to Right: Dr Edgar Hull, Assistant Dean; Dr. V. V. Frye, Dean ; Mr. Paul Radelat, Student B:xK- President. A medical student shows proper technique in laryngoscopy procedure.

Physics lab student op- erates the osciloscope, a device which makes the shape of a voltage or cur- rent wave visible on the screen. Life for students in the College of Chemistry and Physics seems to consist of series of tests, which dominate the class- room and require numerous hours to be spent in labs. Par- ticularly unpopular are the 2-5 labs on Friday afternoon, where students grudgingly carry out their experiments in the Coates laboratories. The hall floors of Nicholson and Coates are worn thin from the hundreds of feet that con- sistently point toward the coke-machine room in Coates, a vain attempt on the part of the lab participants to find relief from the reacting chemicals. But soon, the feet point in the opposite direction, head down the same halls, and lead the student back to his test tubes. Long before the end of the lab period, our chemist turns his thoughts to his plans for the carefree weekend, which is, above all, free from test tubes. 68 The Sciences Left to Right: Donald Lartigue, President: Henry R. Rawls, Sec- retary-Treasurer: Arthur R. Choppin, Dean: Clifton Hill, Vice- President. The sun silhouettes students entering the entrance hall of Coates Hall which is beautifully decorated in modem style. I II Law students take a break from their studies to enjoy the night air on the steps of the Law Building. Seeming to hibernate throughout the year around the area of the Law Building, the law students make their an- nual debut at the Barristers ' Ball, with intermittent ap- pearances at LSU football games, armed with their tradi- tional derbys and canes. Although they make it a point to enjoy themselves, they do have a serious side. In the class- room, instruction is designed to prepare the students for a variety of positions in the fields of public service or private practice. The curriculum is planned to equip the student with a thorough knowledge of the fundamental legal prin- ciples, as well as a broad understanding of their application in the society in which he lives. Instruction is offered in all important phases of the common and statute laws of die United States, as well as in related semiprofessional and nonlegal subjects. The aims of the students are varied, and the curriculum is designed to accommodate them. Outside of the classroom the aspiring lawyer can be found in the Law Library: chair tilted back, feet propped upon desk, book in hand. The future responsibility and solemnity of meditating; barristers can be evidenced twice a year at the traditional Moot Courts, which afford the witnessing of court cases involving hypothetical witnesses and defendants. The A rts Left to Right: Joseph Lipsey, Jr., Vice- President : Jerry G. Jones, President: Paul M. Hebert, Dean: Edwin Laurine Blewer, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer. The thick-volume-walled law library receives a tremendous amount of traffic from the industrious law students. 71 Journalism students examine the teletype which the School of Journalism added to its facilities this year. The students in the College of Arts and Sciences may be found in almost any classroom on campus. Because the stu- dent in this college is required to take a wide variety of courses in natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, he is usually faced with the dilemma of taking philosophy or math, not sure which is the worse fate. In the foreign language lab he tries to figure out if the little man on the tape is saying visto or bisto, usually deciding to write the letter somewhere between a v and a b. He blushes through all shades and tints while his speech class peers laugh at him; he goes faithfully to University chorus, hop- ing he doesn ' t wail again on the pauses of the Messiah. He goes to zoology praying that he doesn ' t faint again when the pickled cat appears on the scene. But he always enjoys art history, because this class provides him with a naptime right after lunch. Through such a wide variety of courses, The microscope aids the zoology student in his study of the structure of organic tissue. Student rewinds tape for language students in foreign language lab. Here, Arts and Sciences students spend innumerable hours perfecting their language skills. the student gains a fuller awareness of the underlying rela- tionship between the several areas of knowledge, and of their function In his own experience. He is trained to develop orderly thinking and a scale of values by which he can dis- tinguish the permanent and the trivial, the substantial and the pretentious, the good and the bad. The A rts Left to Right: Edward Thornhill, President; Catherine Oertel, Sec- retary-Treasurer: Cecil G. Taylor, Dean: Hardtner Coon, Vice- President; Henry Green, Representative. Students in painting class experiment with various methods of painting. Some employ the brush technique, others, the card- board-spreading technique, and still others utilize the palette knife technique which is especially useful for texture. Visual aids such as this cut-away model of a General Elec- tric J-31 jet engine are utilized by the aeronautical branch of the mechanical engineering department. The component parts are color-coded so that the various flow systejns are readily recognized when the engine is in operation at a reduced speed. 74 Atkinson Hall is where the aspiring engineer spends most of his days at LSU. Of course, occasionally, one may see him with red and white pole and tripod measuring the area of the campus or is it the girls ' dormitories? The student of engineering also spends considerable time in the library studying calculus, his favorite course, which he regards as the price of becoming prepared to pope with die technolog- ical problems of the world. He becomes thoroughly ac- quainted widi engineering equipment and techniques through numerous hours of laboratory work and demonstra- tions. He strives incessantly to assimilate the theories and techniques presented to him which will enable him to render service to the world in the engineering profession. As hard as the future engineer studies, he also works at enjoying himself on weekends. On top of die entertainment list of die engineer is the annual Engineers ' Ball, held for die enjoy- ment of die entire campus. No calculus is needed here to see the extraordinary beauty and entertainment offered by this affair. Engineering Left to Right: John D. Radford, President: Charlie B. Dickson, Secretary-Treasurer : Leo J. LaSalle, Dean: Fred W. Hartdegen, III, Representative; Tom Stevenson, Yice-President. Engineering students listen at- tentively to a lecture in ther- modvnamics. Meeting in no special building, students in the College of Agriculture are found in various corners of the campus. Although it seems inconceivable to some, girls who are home economics majors are included in this college. These girls in home economics usually have classes in Stubbs, whereas boys ' classes are held in various agriculture buildings. Agri- culture students are often required to spend considerable time in labs and doing practical duties. For students in dairying, this requirement takes form in his rising with the crow of the rooster (and sometimes even before) to milk the cows which furnish L.S.U. cafeterias with milk. Home economists and soil conservationists spend many hours learn- ing chemical formulas to enable them to better work with their respective jobs. However hard he may work, the student has an intense desire to slough off all these various duties and academic worries when the excitement of the Ag Jamboree fills the air. At this annual event, the class- room is far away from the student ' s mind pnly. to be brought back again to keen focus during the Ag Convoca- tion, where the outstanding students are rewarded for their achievements. Agriculture A home economics student turns off the oven after with- drawing her angelfood cake.

Through play a student social worker helps a troubled child with her problems at home. A social work student and physical therapist help a child with cerebral palsy. During the first graduate year, students in the School of Social Welfare divide their time between classes held on the ground floor of the Law Building and their field work placement in either the local Department of Public Wel- fare or the Family Court. The new social welfare student learns to plan his time to provide for all academic require- ments. After receiving the Certificate of Social Work for his first year ' s work, he may decide to continue graduate work for the Master of Social Welfare, in which he can specialize in one of several areas of social work. If his spe- cialization is madical social work, he especially finds inter- esting the courses taught by ten visiting physicians and psy- chiatrists from L.S.U. School of Medicine. During this sec- ond year the field work changes character considerably. The social welfare student is now in a block placement, usually in a hospital or social welfare agency in nearby locations. Now the student commutes, staying at the agency for four days of the week and resuming classes the remaining two days. Education Student teachers have provisions for ob- servation of skillful teaching and for prac- tice in teaching under close supervision. Here a student helps an elementary grade student to write.

Robert, Dean; Mrs. Margaret Bacon Miller, Secretary-Treasurer. The University Laboratory- School provides opportunities for teacher-in-training to acquire skills and understandings in teaching techniques, in classroom management, and in the selection and organization of subject matter. Students in the College of Education spend hours cutting pictures out of magazines and reading children ' s books. They take science and mathematics courses keyed to the child ' s aptitude and learn techniques of fashioning paper mache into fascinating animals and fairy tale characters; and then, in the senior year, practice teaching. All this, viewed from die eyes of the roommate, who is struggling with chemical formulas, has contributed to the misguided view of Ed School as being all play and no work. Actually, much time is required to master the theories and practical aspects of psychology, speech, and education preparatory courses. The future teachers know the necessity of tech- niques of quick thinking to enable them to meet die prob- lems of working with children spontaneously, without los- ing their respect. They objectively realize that the education of future generations is in the hands of the education stu- dent today, and the quality of tomorrow ' s world depends upon their ability as educators of the younger generation. A Student teacher instructs stu- dent in simple addition. The College of Commerce trains students to use many machines which transform bewildering conglomerations of figures into meaningful, precise data. ton. JmtuttL U N I V AC I 2 O Research The calculator is a miraculous machine which computes square roots, multiplications, and divisions in seconds. Students in the College of Commerce can be found within the walls of Himes Hall, racing to make an eight o ' clock class. It ' s always easy to let things fall behind schedule and easier yet for commerce students, who, toward the end of the semester, scurry to finish that budget they put off until the last minute, or to finish the long overdue accounting project. They are kept busy throughout the year with ac- counting and economics, which require hours of study time and usually end with the result of ten nail-bitten fingers. Annually, the Commerce Convocation is held to acknowl- edge the achieveme nts of the students of this college, which make the painfully spent study hours seem to diminish. After struggling through numerous courses in mathematics, accounting, and business administration, the student emerges, anxious to enter the world of business, to test his academically learned skills, to serve society in a very prac- tical, business like manner. Left to Right: Martin Smith, Secretary-Treasurer: William D. Ross, Dean; Marvin Caplan, President; Laurie Sledge, Vice-President. 83 Research Left to Right: George H. Lowery, Jr., Chairman Graduate Council; Homer L. Hitt, Associate Dean, Graduate School; Richard J. Rus- sell, Dean, Graduate School. Although seeming never to have classes, the graduate student is kept quite busy with various research programs. Because the graduate student is logically the person that will assume a large proportion of responsibility in our so- ciety, he is thoroughly trained in the methods and processes of research, which greatly determines the progress and di- rection of civilization. He spends most of his time gather- ing technical items of information and running experiments or tests for his thesis or dissertation. Thus, he can usually be found surrounded by thick volumes in the library, but he does attend a limited number of classes a week, which he usually regards as only a University requirement, his re- search being his main interest. About a month before the project is due, we can find our graduate student intensifying his program of work, breathing a sigh of relief when he completes it before the deadline. Thus, with his research complete, a scholastic average of B and his comprehensive examination over, he enters society, armed with a graduate degree, ready to serve his community on a professional level. Microfilm in the basement of Hill Memo- rial Library helps a graduate student in re- search work.

Opera Workshop gives students the opportunity to become acquainted with opera literature and to ac- tually rehearse excerpts and scenes from standard and contemporary operas. Music To the music student, the Music and Dramatic Arts Building is his home, in spite of the rumor that he lives in a dormitory. Far into the night, he patiently perfects his musi- cal gifts, only taking a break to run to Louie ' s for a snack. He participates frequently in band, choir, orchestra, and opera activities. Despite the necessary dedication of music students, they look objectively toward their future. Those in education know their position is secure; those in other divisions are not so sure. Although they cast worried glances toward their future, their love for music drives them for- ward to their objective. All students majoring in music are required to demonstrate at least a moderate degree of proficiency in piano. Students in the School of Music who participate in orchestra performances rehearse for one of the many concerts which provide a continuous flow of opportunities to hear and absorb the finest in music.

Junior Division How large the campus seems to the arriving freshman so many buildings and people! But even after the lines, crowds, and red tape of registration, he isn ' t shaken. He re- uaids the walks (hikes?) to class as a necessary ' exercise. When healthy blisters rear their ugly heads, he wishes the campus architect had considered the people who always lived near school. As time goes by, he begins to wonder why he has to take math and history; why he has to come in early: why he can ' t cut class more often. ... At this stage, it is evident that our freshman is developing into a soph- omore. vtudent confers with a Junior Division consultant about the results of placement and psychological tests. This serv- ice is designed to enable the Junior Division student to in- telligently plan his curriculum. Junior Division students chat outside the door of the Junior Division office while waiting for an opportunity for a con- sultation with Dean Hunter. Nu rsing Graduate nurse students in the Department of Nursing show the care of a patient with a tracheotomy. To fill the great need for nurses, the University curricu- lum has been expanded to include two new programs of stu dy: a four-year Basic Nursing Curriculum for high school graduates and a General Nursing Curriculum. Students in the Basic Curriculum enter into the Junior Division. Dur- ing Orientation Week pre-nursing school tests are given. Freshman students who show fitness for a nursing career are selected for admission to the Department of Nursing. Student nurses spend four semesters on the University cam- pus. The remaining sessions are spent in New Orleans with classes at the School of Medicine and with clinical practice- in various hospitals. University College classes are also at- tended by regular daytime students who cannot fit in a par- ticular class during the day. Graduate nurse students play the role of a patient in an oxygen tent and care-administering nurses. A Graduate nurse student demon- strates an easy way to turn a patient on a Stryker Frame. The student body of University College is comprised of people employed during the day who are working toward a certificate or a bachelor ' s degree, and individuals in the professions, in business, who attend class to satisfy avoca- tional interests. University College classes are also attended by regular day- time students who cannot fit in a particular class during the day. University College In 1951, University College was established to enable stu- dents to secure a college education while carrying the re- sponsibilities of employment or home management. Because these students are occupied during the day, classes are held in late afternoon, evening, and Saturday. The most popular class hour is 7 P.M. Then all parking lots and curb spaces fill within minutes, and numerous people hurry toward the already lit buildings. Once inside, the students settle down for a three hour lecture. At ten o ' clock the same people who three hours earlier hurried in. now hurry out. and within a few minutes all parking lots and curbs are again the dream of the frustrated student who owns a car. Students pause on the steps of the campanile on their way to evening classes. 89 Professional Schools GRADUATES UNDERGRADUATES For those students who wish to go even further with their education than the normal amount of college work, the pro- fessional schools provide an opportunity for higher and more specialized learning. Medical students venture to the LSU Med School in New Orleans to study with the super- vision and facilities offered by Charity Hospital. The Law School prepares its students for the practice of that honored profession and especially for Louisiana Law. Hundreds of students enter the Graduate school every year to become more proficient in their particular fields. These are only a few of the several Professional Schools maintained at LSU. 90 GRADUATES SCHOOL First Row: O F MEDICINE HOWARD ALLEMAN, Lafayelle, Phi Chi. HANS PAULSEN RMSTRONG, Baton Rouge.

For four years, the university has given him every pos- sible benefit in its power toward the achievement of this moment. His instructors have opened up their stores of knowledge for him to use as he wished. And he has absorbed these benefits, this knowledge. He may be the engineer who will help span space, or he may be the professor who will teach the next generation to span space. But doctor, lawyer or Indian chief, he may be counted on to have at his fingertips a vast amount of knowledge of his profession. SENIORS First Row: A. D.

He is still in the maturing process, scho- lastically and socially. One, two, or three years may yet lie ahead, but he is confident of being on the right track. The resources of the University will tutor and groom him for a life of leadership and contribution in whatever community he might make his home, in whatever field he might make his profession. He still has many exams to pass, many par- ties to attend, many people to meet. But time flics for the undergraduate. 124 First Row: IH ' RHAX ABDULHADI, Engineering Junior, Nablus, Jordan.

They are symbols, whether animate or inanimate, of student interests and pursuits. The statues and buildings, as the DeSoto monument, reflect the past. Feature activities, as publications, beauties, ROTC, and Who ' s Who, reflect the present with eyes toward the fu- ture. They influence every student with whom they come in contact, and in turn are influenced by every student who takes part in them. When the outside world looks into the World of the University, it sees first the features, because they represent a cross section of student life and attitudes. Faces come and go, and past leaders are forgotten as new stu- dents take over their responsibilities. In this feature section we have stopped for a time the stream of University life to present in words and in pictures, for generations to come, the story of what and who was LSU in 1957. 148 Editor Judith Conrad Associate Editor Jim Hanchey 1957 Gumbo In the middle of the summer Editor Judith Conrad and Associate Editor Jim Hanchey went to Nashville to begin plans for this year ' s GUMBO. They drew up tentative dummy layouts and prepared their schedule for the coming year. From the first general staff meeting in September until the last picture and piece of copy was sent back to the Benson Publishing Company after proofreading, the whole staff worked like Trojans. Ann Gueymard was Junior Ed- itor in charge of the opening section. She had to find pic- tures that would give an over-all view of university life. The Beauty section was presided over by Cecilia Marks. Besides writing copy and gathering up photographs, she had to make sure that the Darling elections were run according to Hoyle. Mr. Gene Quaw assisted her in the planning and presentation of this year ' s Darling at the annual Gumbo Ball. Jake Fly and Jim Hanchey worked together on the Sports Section. We give a whole-hearted Thanks to Ace Higgins and Frank Morel of the Sports Publicity office for their invaluable assistance and cooperation. Without their help we would have been sunk. Junior Editors: Mary Jane Fuller, Anne Byrnes, Ann Gill, June Tuma, Merrill Wright, Cecilia Marks. All campus publications were the responsibility of Junior Editor Anne Byrnes. She was also in charge of Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Anyone who thinks our busy LSU Who ' s Who students are easy to contact should try scheduling their pictures! Ann Gill was in charge of all professional organizations on campus. The honoraries were taken care of by Merrill Wright. Janet White had the responsibility of the military section as well as the religious groups on campus. In charge of the university section was June Tuma. All efforts of the Junior Editors were syn- chronized by the able leadership of Judy Conrad and Jim Hanchey. Gumbo Advisor R. H. Wiggins 151 Gumbo Staff Many hours of hard work were spent in the little office on top of the L building. Mr. Wiggins, our financial ad- visor, had his office conveniently located downstairs. Many were the trips we made up and down those stairs seeking his advice on all the things we didn ' t know. Two of our freshman staff members, Nolia Dupuy and Marion Bow- man, contracted eyestrain from character counting. Another helper was Kathryn Geiger. Suzanne Rus:ell, former Texas high school typing champion, was irreplaceable. A stack of papers representing a week ' s work would come out of her hands in a matter of hours. A representative from the pub- lishing company came down t o help finish up some of the last details. After all pictures were made, all copy written and mailed, we had only to sit back and not relax, but re-read and correct type. Our picnic together when the book was finished climaxed a year of laborious work and exhilarating laughter, a year we wouldn ' t exchange for any- thing. Ann Gueymard and Janet White Pierson, Junior Editors, compare new ideas and old GUMBOS. GUMBO Photographers Larry O ' Brien and Walt Carney examine some of their newest prints. 152 Our thanks go to Ace Higgins in the Sports Publicity Office. James Freeman, our GTMBO Medical Editor, has his office in the Crescent Citv. Freshman Staff Members, Suzanne Russell, Nolia Dupuy, Marion Bowman, Jake Fly, on the steps of our office in the L Building. Our thanks go to Gene Quaw for his invaluable assistance in the GUMBO Ball. Pam Moore and Bill Biery look over one of many articles. Editor Bill Biery Reveille The Daily Reveille is a student newspaper, published four afternoons a week, Tuesday through Monday, and ed- ited by students for student readers. Many specific prob- lems must be met before its 55 issues a semester can be turned out. The Reveille often works in co-operation with the Baton Rouge papers, the Department of Public Relations, and the athletic publicity office to prevent duplication. The working hours of the staff must be scheduled around the full scholas- tic load staff members are required to carry. Their hours must then be adapted to the hours of the full-time mechan- ical staff which operates in the backshop of the L building. Cartoonist Peter Houck Hard at work are Peter Houck, Pam Moore and Nancy Allenbaugh. The actual work of news-gathering begins in the edito- rial office in Alumni Hall. Most of the reporters and pho- tographers receive some class credit for their work. Even before reporters are assigned, the advertising staff has been at work selling ads. These ads are drawn in on the dummies which upon completion are turned over to the editorial staff. After a reporter turns his copy in, it is edited by a paid staff member and placed on the dummy along with pictures and headlines. The process of making up and headline writing are usually completed by midnight and the materials are taken to the backshop. The next morning the backshop crew sets the copy into type. The type is inked and a printed image is reproduced. This image is given to the proofreader who corrects typo- graphical, grammatical, and spelling errors.

Thousands of pages of print have been filled with well-chosen words issuing from the pens of law students from the Louisiana State University Law School. The Law Review also contains the articles of legal scholars from a far wider base. Such significant problems as the Right of Drip and Drain and Party Walls in Louis- iana have been definitely settled. Some contribution has been made to other legal problems as well. This year ' s publication with its mighty words of wisdom will join its predecessors in becoming part of our LSU Law Library. The usual number of new writers have been allowed to join the Review; the usual number of old ones have grad- uated. All have eagerly accepted their change of status and have begun working at their new responsibilities, whether it be slaving away in school and editor ' s office or setting up a law practice somewhere in our state.

Delta Delta, Louisiana State University ' s only student literary- magazine, is published annually under the direction of the department of English. It is not a publication of the English department, nor is it the official publication of the college of Arts and Sciences. As a positive purpose, Delta strives to be a representative publication, including all contribu- tions of prose, poetry, and art from a student, regardless of his major. It has as its negative purpose NOT to become the magazine of the English majors nor to be run by a literary cliche. Several of the De lta short stories written by LSU students have appeared in national magazines. This is the eleventh year of Delta ' s publication. Jeanne Garvey and her staff, under the faculty advisor, Dr. John Wildman, have once again carried out the purposes of the magazine. The excellent result of their work can be seen in this year ' s edition. 157 Sitting, Harold Warren, Louis Faxon. Standing: Robert Johnson, William Mattox, Oran Ritter, James Fitch. ENGINEER L. S. U. Engineer The LSU Engineer comes off the press five times a year and is published, edited and read by students in the Col- lege of Engineering. It contains many articles of interest ranging from a detailed history of the slide rule and the near-realized possibilities of an earth satellite all the way to a cross-sectional analysis of women. Career possibilities with different companies are illustrated by various advertisements and articles. Some regular features include Meet the Fac- ulty, a section which lets students see a more personal side of their teachers ' lives; and Miscues, the section of jokes which most people read first. This year ' s editor, Oran Ritter, and his efficient staff have done a good job of carrying out the purpose for which the Engineer was founded to up- hold and foster the deep respect that the engineering pro- fession has earned through its services to the world. Annual Ring The Annual Ring, official yearbook of the School of Forestry, was first put into print at Louisiana State Uni- versity in 1938. This year ' s editor, James Barnett. and his staff have been working like Paul Bunyans to make this year ' s Annual Ring the best yet. Classes and forestry organ- izations are pictured, as is the outstanding sophomores. Two special sections. Alumni News and the Alumni Directors-, keep former students in touch with each other. From the dedication page to the last advertisement, the Annual Ring presents the activities of the forestry students hectic lab .ans. summer camps, field days, and other social activ- ities so that it will show in words and pictures just how much fun was had this year, remind alumni of the fun of other years, and suggest to those following what they are in for.

Gumbo Beauty Ball Acting as mistress of ceremonies, Cecilia Marks introduces the finalists to the audience. After the nominations for Darling of LSU were received, the feverish campaigning started. The day for the selection of finalists arrived, and each contestant with a self-conscious smile walked the length of the long reception room before the admiring eyes of two hundred men judges. Finally it was voting day, and then only the votes remained to be counted into the wee hours of the morning. The identities of the Darling and her court became a well-guarded secret. At the ball, there was the soft blue of winter moonlight shining through a Christmas tree; six Christmas Jewels, alive and very much aglow; a breathless hush, a stir of ex- citement, and magically a Darling was revealed. Spectators gather for the presentation of the finalists. Ike and Adlai take note: this is one sure way to get an enthusiastic turnout on election day. A brand new Darling smiles radiantly for her audience. Santa Glaus, better known in some circles as Ed Sturdivant, coyly reveals the contents of his pack. Setting for the presentation was a pavillion of jewels, com- plete with a chandelier and Christmas tree. 167 JL)arlin of J- . _5. CA.

Founded as a State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy, the university required that even the professors be of military rank. A succession of military men have headed the University from Colonel William Tecum- seh Sherman, of Civil War infamy, in 1860 to General Troy H. Middleton in 1957. The ROTC program, established in 1916, has turned out hundreds of officers for the United States Military forces. This program has proved to be of great service and has added much prestige to Louisiana State University. G Capt. Alfred Abdalla, Pat Brown, sponsor. The Colonels Jim and Irene in the spotlight.

The Christmas spirit Military Ball Every year when the December winds begin to sweep their frigid blasts across the drill field, the LSU Corps of Cadets really has a Ball a Military Ball. The Cadet officers, decked out in their finest uniform and spotless white gloves, and the basic cadets, clothed in their Fall-Winter-Spring- Summer khakis, this year squired a bevy of beautiful belles to dance away the evening within the confines of a brilliant- ly decorated Gym-Armory. Music was furnished for the dance by the Les Elgart orchestra. The highlight of the dance was the presentation of the Army and Air Force cadet corps sponsors whose commander-in-chief this year was Miss Irene Charleton. As one of the most important functions on the campus social calendar, the Military Ball is an eagerly awaited event. All who attended complimented the planning committee on really having quite a Ball! The Elgart Touch Here ' s Les Himself. Colonel Herbert O. Wangeman Colonel Frederick B. Alexander, Jr. Reserve Officers Training Corps Commandant of Cadets and Professor of Air Science, Col- onel Herbert O. Wangeman assumed this duty in September 1956. Col. Wangeman was previously stationed at Turner Air Force Base, Georgia. Prior to his coming to LSU he was an Executive Officer and Director of Personnel of the For- tieth Air Division. He is a graduate of Occidental College, California. Col. Wangeman entered the Air Force in 1935 and served two tours of duty in England during World War II, first as a Squadron Commander and later as Group Commander. Since World War II he has served a tour of duty in Alaska and served on temporary duty basis in Eng- land and French Morocco. His many decorations include the Silver Star Medal, Dis- tinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with Three Oak Leaf Clusters, American Defense Service medal, European-Af- rican-Middle Eastern Campaign medal with battle star, A merican Campaign medal, World War II Victory medal, National Defense Service medal, and the Distinguished Unit Citation. Colonel Frederick B. Alexander, Jr., Professor of Mil- itary Science and Tactics, has had a long and distinguished career with the Army. As tangible evidence he wears many decorations for valor and service, among them the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Medal, Commendation Ribbon. Korea Ulchi with gold star, Korean Presidential Unit Citation with two clusters and the Dis- tinguished Unit Citation with palm. Following his graduation from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Col. Alexander enlisted in the United States Army as a private in 1940. He attended the Field Artillery Officer Candidate Class Number 1 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1941, and was commissioned as 2nd Lt. of Artillery upon graduation therefrom. He commanded the United Nations Partisan Forces in Korea and the famous 21st Infantry Regimental Combat Team which carried out the repartriation of 72,000 Oriental prisoners of war from the Island of Koji-Do in Korea.

Cadet Corps The Cadet Corps is the largest single organization on the L.S.U. campus, being composed of over 2,500 eager cadets. The R.O.T.C. program is designed to produce efficient well- trained reserve officers, ready for active duty in the various phases of the Army and Air Force. Many advantages are available to the R.O.T.C. cadet. For example, each ad- vanced cadet receives an expense paid vacation to an area which he would otherwise probably not have the opportu- nity to visit. This is endearingly referred to by those fortu- nate enough to attend as summer camp. The Cadet Corps also sponsors an annual Military Ball, obtaining a nationally- known band for its members to enjoy. This year ' s selection produced Les Elgart, whose aggregation pleased a packed gym-armory. THE WING STAFF FIRST Row: Col. Fred Abbot, Col. Mary Ann Adcock, sponsor. SE COND Row: Ist Lt.

It aims to further and preserve the highest ideals of the military profession. Company D-4, the LSU unit was established here in 1940. Members are basic ROTC cadets who have achieved a C over all average, a B average in military and who have shown a high degree of proficiency in military drill. During the year Company D-4 participates in many out- standing activities. For the past four years the LSU Com- pany has won first place at the Pershing Rifle Regimental Competition. Robert C.

Its natural by-products are na- tional and international publicity for the University, edu- cational opportunities for hundreds of young men through athletic scholarships, and friendly competition with other universities. The University fields intercollegiate teams in four major sports football, basketball, baseball, and track and in the two prevalent minor sports tennis and golf. LSU is a charter member of the Southeastern Conference, and its athletic teams have been leaders in all these sports during the past two decades. The athletic department ' s im- mediate aim is a well-balanced program which will enable LSU to field representative teams in the six sports, all the while maintaining the proper place of athletics in the gener- al accomplishments of the University. Copyright 1956, The Times-Picayune Publishing Company V J _? PAUL DIETZEL, Head Coach JIM CORBETT, Athletic Director L. S. U. Coaching Staff Being a good football coach is a large order for any man. Such a man must eat, sleep, and think football every day of the year, yet be able to carry on a conversation with a bot- any professor at a moment ' s notice. He must blend a knowl- edge of football ' s intricacies with the analysis of a psychol- ogist. To nearly a hundred young men in the most impres- sionable stage of their lives, he must be leader, teacher, dis- ciplinarian, and foster father. Added to this, he must be an entertaining speaker and a super salesman. Paul Dietzel, a handsome blond with a captivating smile, driving energy, and contagious enthusiasm, has filled that order for Louis- iana State University. During his two years as football coach at the Ole War Skule, he has produced hard-hitting, hust- ling football teams and has travelled throughout Louisiana making friends for LSU, while laying a foundation for championship teams in future years.

If you attempted to chart Louisiana State ' s 1956 foot- ball performances, you would end up with something like a profile of a fat man sleeping on a cheap mattress high on both ends but sagging pretty low in the middle. The Tigers, a blend of ex-redshirts, untested sophomores, and unknown junior college transfers, took their licks in 1956. They started off with a bang by almost derailing Texas A M ' s championship express, but then went through four more bitter Saturdays before winning one. Yet in the end. through hustle and a never sagging spirit, they were good enough to win the two big ones that really counted Arkan- sas and those touted Tulane Greenies. The strong point of 1956 was the line, and the stars of 1956 were linemen guards Don Scully, the captain, and Bob Ziegler, the most valuable player. Scully and Ziegler, along with tackles Enos Parker and Earl Leggett. center Durk Graham and center- Ted Paris, formed LSU ' s rock-ribbed senior line from tackle to tackle. The backfield, riddled by graduation in the Spring, hurt Paul Dietzel ' s Tigers in the early season games. Late season development of junior college transfer Jimmy Taylor and the stellar debut of sophomore J. W. Brodnax finally gave LSU a running game. Three boys Win Turner, M.C. Reynolds and Matt Burns alternated at the quarterback spot for the 1956 Tigers. Gritty little Joe May, the only backfield veteran, recovered from inju- ries at mid-season and did a good job at left half. Three top ends, Billy Sheehy. Bill Smith, and John Wood, were hobbled with injuries, leaving most of the load to sopho- more Red Hendrix. Wood came back at mid-season and starred in the win over Arkansas. Top individual honor went to 200-pound fullback Taylor who scored more points than any LSU footballer since the fabulous Steve Van Buren and who led the SEC as scoring champion. 203 The ball was about the only thing that wasn ' t in this portrait of Texas A M ' s 9-6 win over the righting Tigers. L.S.U.6 Texas A M 9 Probably no other LSU football season ever had as auspi- cious a debut as did the season of 1956. The opponent was Texas A M, rated as one of the nation ' s best football teams in all pre-season polls and destined to roll through an undefeated season. A crowd of over 60,000, the largest in LSU history, turned out for the opener and saw as good a football game as you could ask for. Texas A M scored first in the opening quarter on a 14 yard running pass from halfback Bobby Conrad to halfback Carlos Esquivel. After a 7-0 intermission, A M picked up two more points in the third period when the Aggie line blocked Olin Renfroe ' s punt. LSU ' s hard-knocking wore down the Aggie stalwarts in the fourth quarter and the Tigers began to roll. LSU drove 84 yards for a touchdown, with Brodnax crashing over from the 10. On the ensuing kickoff, Billy Sheehy tried an on-sides kick and recovered for LSU. The Tigers were on the Aggie 24 and driving hard for the goal when the clock ran out. Brodnax was the game ' s best runner with 58 yards on 12 carries. 204 Paul DietzePs inexperienced sophomores and junior col- lege transfers caught up with him the second time out and Rice smashed long-time rival LSU by a 23-14 count in Houston. Rice ' s Frank Ryan pinpointed passes through LSU ' s leak defense and ran magnificently to hand the Bayou Bengals their second straight defeat. Rice scored on the first offensive push of the game on a 51 yard touchdown pass from Ryan to end Buddy Dial. LSU tied it up at 7-7 early in the second quarter by driving 52 yards on eight plays for the touchdown. A pass from Win Turner to Matt Burns accounted for the touchdown. Ryan gave Rice a 13-7 half- time edge on a 32-yard sprint and the Owls added insurance points on an 18 yard field goal by King Hill in the third period. Rice ' s Howard Hoelscher wrapped it up by sprint- ing 55 yards early in the fourth period for a 23-7 bulge. LSU came roaring back again in the last quarter and scored one touchdown set up by Brodnax ' s 52 yard run behind fine blocking. Time ran out before the Bengal powerhouse could overtake die Owls. Maintaining a good average takes up an important part of every player ' s time. L. S. U. 14 Rice 23 Halfback Olin Renfroe rambled for yardage on this play against die Rice Owls but his trip is about to come to an abrupt end. L.S.U. 7 Georgia Tech 39 A pass interception near the end of the first half broke the backs of LSU ' s Fighting Tigers and top-ranked Georgia Tech went on from there to pile up a 39-7 victory. The in- terception and a 67 runback for a touchdown gave Tech a 20-7 halftime lead that took all the fight out of the upset- minded Bayou Bengals. Until that point, LSU had fought Bobby Dodd ' s Engineers to a standstill. Tech drove for the first touchdown in the opening minutes with fullback Ken Owen going over from the 2. LSU tied it up on M. C. Reynolds ' passes to Ronnie Johnston and a one-yard buck by Jimmy Taylor. After Tech moved out in front 13-7 on a 30 yard scoring aerial from Toppy Vann to Stan Flowers, LSU roared back on Reynolds ' passing to the Teach 30. At that point, Reynolds, back to pass, was hit as he threw and the ball fell into the arms of Tech fullback Dick Gookin who raced 67 yards for the tally. In the second half, Tech pulled steadily away on another of Vann ' s touchdown passes and on runs by Vann and Gookin. Taylor cracks over from the 1 yard line for LSU ' s only touchdown against the Tech Yellow Jackets. Touchdown - H l Almost a touchdown for Kentucky, but LSU ' s Ted Paris (52) makes the stop of an end sweep inches away from the goal line. L.S.U. Kentucky 14 The Pershing Rifles perform a precision drill routine. The Kentucky, LSU game in Lexington was billed as the battle of the forward walls and it lived up to the ad- vance notice. Kentucky ' s big line, sparked by All-American Lou Michaels, outbutted LSU ' s rugged forwards in a game that was all defense. Neither team was able to move much against the other ' s line, but Kentucky converted two oppor- tunities into a 14-0 victory. LSU never got its offense going and gained only 177 yards all night. Kentucky drove 54 yards in the waning minutes of the first half for the first touchdown with halfback Woody Herzog going over from the 3. The Wildcats clung to the 7-0 lead throughout the second half and then drove 60 yards in the final four minutes for the second touchdown. LSU made only one tough offen- sive bid by driving to the Wildcat 1 1 in the fourth period. A penalty and an incomplete pass ended the drive and LSU ' s victory hopes. 207 Ole Miss beat down LSLJ in the second half for a 46-17 win in their annual battle at Baton Rouge, but the game was a good one for the Tigers. It marked the arrival of Jimmy Taylor, the 20 J pound fullback who went on from there to become the SEC ' s hottest player and to lead LSU to the victory circle in three of its last four games. Big, bruising Taylor gained 61 yards in 15 carries, scored all of LSU ' s points and kicked a field goal that gave LSU a 17-14 halftime advantage. Ole Miss roared back for two touchdowns in the second half and then took the game away from the battered Tigers. Ole Miss took a 7-0 lead on a 29 yard scoring pass from Ray Brown to Eddie Crawford, but LSU tied it at 7-all on an Ole Miss fumble and Taylor ' s line buck. Minutes later, Ed Cassidy recovered another Rebel bobble and Taylor kicked a 1 7 yard field goal to put LSU ahead for the first time during the season. Ole Miss took back the lead with shocking suddenness on a 71 yard touchdown play from John Blalack to Leroy Reed. Then LSU drove 68 yards in a race against the clock to score in the final seconds for a 17-14 halftime lead. Early in the sec- ond half, Ole Miss turned an interception and a 19 yard pass from Brown to Crawford into a 20-14 lead. Then the Rebels drove 55 yards for another touchdown and sewed up the game.

U. 13 Oklahoma A M The long victory drought ended as LSU ' s rebounding Tigers smashed a good Oklahoma A M team 13-0 for the first victory of the season. LSU, rated a touchdown fa- vorite before the game, found an offensive sparked by Jimmy Taylor who helped the Tigers to dominate the game. Taylor scored one touchdown and romped for 104 yards in 12 car- ries, the best offensive show by a Tiger back in more than a year, to lead LSU to victory. M. C. Reynolds connected on 7 of 1 1 passes for 94 yards to help the Tigers to victory. LSU scored the second time it got the ball, driving 54 yards after a recovered fumble. Taylor pounded over from seven yards out and then booted the extra point for a 7-0 advan- tage. The Bayou Bengals made their second touchdown minutes later after a 57 yard drive. After this touchdown, it was a bruising defensive battle with both LSU and the Aggies missing out on scoring chances. Oklahoma A M. playing LSU in football for the first time, was led by soph- omore halfback Duane Wood, who picked up 78 yards in 1 8 carries. 209 . o Tiger football was tough in ' 56 and it shows here as Red Brocnax (36) bulldozers for short yardage in the 6-21 loss to Florida.

Homecoming was an unhappy one for the alumni and students. Florida ' s Gators, led by speed merchants Jackie Simpson and Jim Rountree, raced right past the Tigers for a 21-6 victory; the loss was LSU ' s fifth in a row. Flor- ida wasted little time in hopping on the Tigers. Early in the first period the elusive Simpson grabbed a Tiger punt and raced 49 yards for the first touchdown. In the second period the Gators travelled 59 yards on the passing of quar- terback Jimmy Dunn to grab a 14-0 lead, Rountree hav- ing scored the touchdown. LSU came back fighting in the third period, but a fumble put the Tigers out of the ball game. Florida center Bill Bolton recovered the bobble on the LSU 26 and the Gators went on to push it over for a 21-0 lead. Dunn tossed seven yards to Rountree for the score. LSU fought back for one touchdown in the fourth period, but the Tigers couldn ' t come close to catching the Gators. The Tiger tally came on a 46 yard pass play from Win Turner to Red Hendrix. Steve Thompson paced LSU runners in the game with 35 yards on nine carries. 211 2 ' Jfc Tiger defenders smear Bulldog quarterback as tackle Earl Leggett grabs for the loose ball. L.S.U.13 Miss. State 32 Sophomore Billy Stacy, Mississippi ' s one-man gang and an Ail-American if there ever was one, wrecked the Tigers soundly and convincingly by leading his Maroons to a 32-13 win. Stacy, the SEC ' s total offense leader during the season, did everything and did it well to turn the 50th battle be- tween old rivals State and LSU into a Tiger rout. The soph quarterback scored three touchdowns and passed for a fourth, gained 77 yards running and 59 yards passing, kicked three times for a 43.0 average, returned five punts for 80 yards and ran back two kickoffs for 43 yards prob- ably the best all-around performance seen in Tiger stadium in years. Stacy sprinted 1 2 yards for State ' s first touchdown and then raced 45 yards on a punt return to put State out in front 13-0. He scored again on a seven-yard jaunt just before the half to give the Maroons a 20-0 halftime lead. LSU lost its chance to get back in the ball game when a clipping penalty nullified Brodnax ' s 94 yard punt return. State wrapped it up early in the third quarter on an inter- cepted pass and Frank Sabbatini ' s four yard plunge. LSU came growling back in the fourth quarter to cut State ' s lead to 26-13 on a 55-yard pass play from Reynolds to Wood and a line buck by Jimmy Taylor. But State scored again before the game ended. 212 A Razorback trips up Bob DeCrosta after a short gain in the Bengal ' s 21-7 upset at Arkansas. L.S.U.21 And why not guts too? Arkansas 7 Football ' s most famous jinx, LSU over Arkansas, repeated itself again as the heavily favored Raxorback team fell before LSU ' s ground blitz 21-7 at the State Fair Stadium in Shreveport. It was LSU ' s fourth straight upset of a fa- vored Arkansas team in four years. The intangible jinx that is the LSU-Arkansas game got plenty of help this time from a very tangible Jimmy Taylor, LSU ' s line-wrecking fullback who pounded Arkansas into submission with a 1 70 yard running show. The Baton Rouge junior scored two touchdowns and kicked an extra point to wrap up the SEC scoring championship for himself. After a scoreless first pe- riod, Taylor broke the game wide open with a 75 yard scor- ing jaunt. Several moments later, John Wood rushed Ar- kansas ' Bonnie Underwood and hit him as he threw a pass. The deflected ball landed in the arms of Tiger Bob Ziegler who loped 27 yards for the second touchdown and a 13-0 lead. The Tigers got a third touchdown on a 23 yard drive after Earl Leggett recovered a Porker fumble; Taylor scored. LSU ends Wood and Billy Smith threw Arkansas Christian into the end zone for the safety. 213 L. S.

An LSU team that was bad enough to lose its first six games of the season was, in the end, good enough to win the biggest one of them all the Tulane game. A superb performance by LSU ' s first unit and especially by Taylor won out over a hard-fighting Tulane 7-6 in what cer- tainly must have been the most dramatic of all Tiger- Greenie battles. It was not good football, as evidenced by 10 fumbles, but it was exciting football. Before the game a cheering ' duel was organized, and 60,000 partisans from the Bayou Country probably set a Louisiana record for noise. In the first half, the yelling was mostly Tulane ' s. The heavily favored Greenies pushed LSU all around the field and got one touchdown on a fumble, a 27-yard drive, and Ronnie Quillian ' s scoring shot. Emmett Zelenka missed the extra point and Tulane had a 6-0 lead. The Greenies almost wrapped it up minutes later when they drove to LSU ' s 4 yard line. On first down, Greenie Gene Newton tossed a pass into the flat and the man of the hour, Taylor. intercepted and ran it out of the danger zone. Dietzel took the big gamble; he kept his charges in the dressing room overtime at the half and changed his offense. They came out seconds away from a 15-yard delaying pen- alty and turned the tide for LSU. With a spread-out offense, the Tigers began to roll against the Tulane forward wall. They drove 58 yards to the Tulane 3 before the drive bogged down and the Greenies took over. On the next play, Durk Graham jarred Greenie Jimmy McCoy loose from the ball and Don Scully recovered for LSU on the Tulane two yard line. Taylor leaped and twisted toward the Greenie line and charged over on the second try. He then stepped back and booted the biggest point of the year. Tulane couldn ' t move against the LSU line for the rest of the third period and for most of the fourth. Then the Greenies drove to the LSU 19 before the incomplete passes ended the threat. With a minute to go, Tulane got its last bid. but Earl Leggett intercepted a desperation pass to end the threat and the ball game. The win gave LSU possession of the victory trophy The Rag for the eighth straight year. Pigskin, pigskin, who ' s got the pigskin? Big Earl Leggett prepares for his last college football game. Siglcr tips it in as Loyola paced the Tigers 77-73 Basketball Harry Rabenhorst, one of the most successful and easily the most durable of athletic coaches in Louisville during the twentieth century, called it quits in 1957. At the start of the basketball season, Coach Raby announced he was retiring from basketball and baseball, and would devote full- time to his duties as assistant athletic director. It marked the end of an always colorful, sometimes fabulous coaching career that spanned 36 years and brought countless honors to Raby and LSU. During his reign as LSU coach from 1925 to 1957, Raby ranked as one of the winningest coaches in collegiate bas- ketball and baseball. His cage teams ranked second to Ken- tucky in all-time SEC basketball play and won three con- ference titles and a national championship. He developed two of basketball ' s finest players, Sparky Wade and Bob Lynn Moon Dominick Merle Jim Crisco. Roger Sigler C harlev Seitz Trov Bushing Pettit and sent over a score of boys from the LSU camps to the baseball major leagues. Raby ' s last team, the 1956-57 Tigers, lacked the talent of many of his teams of the past, but they had the same old Rabenhorst trademark hustling, never-say-die spirit. Through the first 19 games, the Tigers posted six voctories and lost many heartbreakers. including close decisions to the conference leaders, Kentucky and Tulane. Top Tiger performer was Roger Sigler, the defending SEC scoring champ, who was averaging 19.3 points per game. Other leading scorers were senior forward Troy Rushing, who was averaging 16.1 points per game, and jun ' or guard Dom Nferle. averaging 12.8 points per game. Others in the start- ing line-up were senior Joe White at center and sophomore Jim Crisco at guard. Assistant Coach John Chaney and Coach Harry Rabenhorst.

Ed Blanchard Roger Sigler Ralph Richoux Minor Sports The many opportunities for recreation at LSU have re- sulted in a varied program of minor sports. The University has excellent facilities for tennis, handball, weight lifting, and basketball. Guided by the men ' s and women ' s depart- ments of physical education, students can participate in sports such as volley ball, modern dance, gymnastics, and wrestling. In the near future, a golf course will be added to our expanding campus and will increase the participa- tion in this sport. The LSU cheerleaders have done a terrific job to promote school spirit at pep meeting and athletic contests. This young lady is about to enroll in a swimming class. 4 ' .

The Baby Bengals, under Coach Clarence Pop Strange, beat Ole Miss (44-20), Mississippi State (28-13). and Tulane (47-20) in compil- ing a perfect record. Stars of the fresh team included halfback Billy Cannon, a speedster who scored 45 points in three games, and quarterback Warren Babb. a precision passer. Other frosh starters were ends Scotty McClain and Don Norwood, tackles Mel Branch and Boyce Whittington. guards Emile Fournet and Manson Nelson, center Doug Skinner, halfback Johnny Robinson, fullback Max Fugler. Working out on the parallel bars is an invigorating exercise. Gymnastics is one of the many courses offered by the physi- cal education department. A spirited game of leap frog is enjoyed by a group of PE boys. 231 Intramurals The intramural program at LSU has always been one of the most participated-in activities on the campus. Approx- imately 4,000 campus athletes took part in the 1957 pro- gram which included sports such as football, basketball, swimming, tennis, handball, ping-pong, volleyball, bowl- ing, softball, and boxing. The Women ' s Recreation Associa- tion sponsors and schedules all events for LSU coed partici- pation. Men ' s groups participating include the Campus League, the Fraterntiy League, and the ROTC Division. Realizing that all study and no recreation makes Mr. or Miss LSU student a dull person, the intramural program is designed so that everyone in the university can take part in a competitive sport. Bob Porter kicks off for Pi Ka. Enthusiastic fans turn out even in bad weather. Team members dig in. The Pi KA-ZBT football game was a feature of the inter- fraternity league. 232 ROTC basketball is a prominent member of the intramural family. WRA and sorority swim meets demonstrate the skills of LSU coeds. LSU co-eds participate in imracollege archer,- meets via telegraph. Activities Activities for the LSU student run the gamut from military to the Greeks, from honoraries to student centers. To get the most out of college life, the student takes advantage of as many of the many and varied activities as he possibly can. However, these are subjugated to the primary purpose of college study. In a way, though, they are yet another form of learning in themselves. Through them, the student learns to work and play with other people. He learns to be a leader and a follower, to contribute and to carry out ideas. Thus, activities are an integral part of the everyday life of the student, and because of their lasting influences, they are an integral part of the future life of the student. 234 i L. S. U. Student Body President Enos Parker and Co-ed Vice-Pres- ident Pat Loughran An outstanding project of the student government was the Dollars for Hungary campaign which raised several thou- sand dollars for Hungarian refugee relief. The Field House is the meeting place for all student gov- ernment groups. Student Government The Student Government program by LSU has always provided an effective liaison between the students and the officers of the University. The main body of this program is the Student Council which is annually elected by pop- ular vote. The Council officially makes recommendations and requests to die University administration and represents the student body on several faculty committees. The 1957 Council launched into an ambitious program of investigations and accomplishments. One of dieir first big projects was die welcome for Mike II. The council ' s most worthwhile project was die polio shot campaign. The activ- ity of die Student Council did not end with diese two proj- ects. Other important topics which aroused student interest were die restoration of newspapers to die Field House, die all campus dance. Twirp Week, and die Mardi Gras hol- iday.

The 1957 Senate spent a busy year raising Dollars for Hungary, and investigating Hatcher Cafeteria, the Reveille. Campus Security, and the parking fines problem. Another project which the Senate proposed was the installation of victory lights in the Memo- rial Tower. 238 The Honor Council A ignificant phase of the student government is its Honor Council activities. The members of the Honor Council rep- resent each college and are appointed by the President of the Student Body. The Council works with the honor coun- cils of each college to help maintain a high standard of honor and community conduct among L.S.U. students. The principal duty of the Honor Council is to determine the guilt or innocence of any student charged with conduct which would bring discredit upon him or the Student Body and to impose a suitable punishment for such violation.

Proctors Hodges Hall, Men ' s Residence Unit Since World War II the men ' s dorms have been served by a very effective leadership organization the proctor system. Each floor of the dorms is supervised by a junior or senior student who has been carefully selected on the basis of scholastic rating, character standing, and interest in the proc- tor program. Each proctor is responsible for the personal conduct in the dorms of the students on his floor. He assists in the general administration of the residence halls and co-operates in the promotion of worthwhile campus projects. 242 Greeks Greek societies at LSU provide for their members a wide scope of advantages. In them, friendships are born which Lf t throughout the years of college and, in many cases, throughout lifetimes. They teach their members to lead, and to follow the religious element as emphasized in all the Greeks. A number of social ser -ice projects, such as orphans ' parties and hospital work, help the members to help others. Membership requires a certain grade average and those who have difficulty in a particular subject receive help. Scholastic- ally, spritually and socially, the Greeks carefully maintain their high standards. Sororities at LSU strive foremost to maintain a high plane of personal relationships between girls who are friends and sisters. They strive for fine intellectual accomplishment and high scholastic standards.

MARY ANN BURAS BEVERLY RICHARD President Alpha Chi, how we love thy name ... rang through the halls of Pan- hellenic as we sang one of our favorite songs at the first pledge-active dinner of the year. All through the year, we ' ve shown just how true this phrase is planning, working, and just having fun. October was a big month for us because of Founder ' s Day, which we cele- brated with our traditional banquet. Later on, of course, there was a surprise Halloween Party given for the pledges by the actives. Homecoming came around and we were really proud when Alpha Chi walked off with third place in Deco- rations and another trophy. Our Christmas Party was one to be remembered for a long time, considering the skit the actives presented. After we returned from the holidays, plans for our winter formal took precedent over practically all other business. And on the night of February 8, we knew that all the work had been worth it, as we watched the pledges step into the spotlight to receive special recognition. However, they were not the only ones to whom the night meant something extra-special the seniors were there for the last time. So now, when you hear a lot of girls singing and laughing in the Alpha Chi room, you ' ll know some of the reasons we have such a good time together. 244 MEMBERS First Row: Patt Aldcn. Svlvia Allen.

Through shared fun and hard work, we have experienced a growing closeness that gives deeper meaning to ADPi ' s favorite song. In September, an exciting rush week was climaxed with the induction of the new pledge class and the Black Diamond pledge supper at the home of Mrs. Glen Nordyke, president of the Baton Rouge alumnae. We will probably never forget working on Homecoming decorations in the cow barn; or our first pledge-active meetings; or the visit, just after Thanks- giving, of our Grand President, Miss Maxine Blake. Our busiest weeks came in December, when we enjoyed a surprise Trim-the-Tree party the pledges gave, a slumber party at an alumna ' s camp, and our Christmas party at the Baton Rouge Country Club. The new semester brought more fun-filled tasks, with Initiation and our formal as our main concerns, but these were by no means pur only activities. We were able to concentrate a little more on participating in intramural sports and making long-range plans for our very own sorority- house. All of our time was not consumed in selfish interests, however, for we found satisfaction as we participated in the Dollars for Hungary project and other charity drives. Again, we realized how much is meant when we sav, I love you, Alpha Delta Pi. MEMBERS First Row: Mary Alice Aucoin, Mary (,;ivlc Rabin, Catherine Barfield, Edrye Black, Ann Gail Bowers, Joyce Brown.

These new pledges were honored at the Pledge Banquet given at the home of Senator and Mrs. Horace Wilkinson. Making the bayou scene tor our Home- coming entry proved quite a job, but lots of fun. Everyone likes food, so we had a Barbecue before the Mississippi State-LSU football game. Surprises were in store, too, for there was a surprise Thanksgiving party given by the pledges for the actives. The Founder ' s Day Banquet and the Alumnae Tea honoring the members were memorable events, and climaxing the series of semester activities was the Red Rose Ball on January 5. Among our spring activities was the Initiation Banquet, an event that all of the new AOPi ' s will particularly remember. Then, we sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt for the orphans. Second semester was drawing to a close when Spring Houseparty time came around, and our traditional Senior Breakfast followed close behind really marking the end of the school year. And it has been quite a great one, with all of us participating in WRA tournaments, charity drives and many other areas of student life.

We kept busy, having a good time with friends who had come from other chapters to take part in rush. No need to say the loyalty was found in prepara- tions for rush week which proved to be a great success. December was a month to remember with the pledge-active Christmas Party and the Yuletide serenade for the alums. Then came the party for the orphans and it still remains a debate as to who had the better time the orphans or the Alpha Xi ' s! With the coming of spring, we began preparing for several trips: first, to New Orleans for Founder ' s Day, then to Greenwell Springs to pre- sent a co llection of books to the Grace Ferris Memorial Award Library, as we do every year. And it might have been with a reluctant sigh that we watched the Rose Formal bring another year to a close, had we not known that plans were already made to attend our National Convention in Biloxi in June as Hostesses! What a wonderful plan to keep us busy until we turn our attention back to the campus, and September, in other words another fabulous Rush Week. 250 MEMBERS First Row: Sherry Abbott, Elva Raitlin.

President Many, many long months ago at approximately the end of August, the Beta Sigs of Alpha Rho gathered at Ponchatoula Beach for pre-rush workshop. Shortly after this, the weary Betas managed to stay awake during a hectic, but successful rush week, which was highlighted by the traditional Manhattan Moods party. Informal rush followed at a slower pace, and then the new pledge class gave an open house for the fraternity pledges. Activities certainly didn ' t lag during the winter months, as the season was begun with a Saturday afternoon workshop intended to orientate the new pledges as to the history, activities and gossip of the sorority. On the social side, we enjoyed a hayride to Plaquemine where a picnic supper awaited us, followed by a very informal dance. We honored our founders in the traditional manner, as we passed this landmark in the year. Formal time came, and of course ours was the best of the season as any pledge or active will tell you. In the spring, we gathered to honor our graduating seniors with a banquet and then ended it all with a wonderful weekend of housepartying on the fabu- lous Mississippi Coast.

After rush week, reinforced with 33 new pledges, we prepared to whiz through another year at L.S.U., participating in campus activities as well as enjoying the social fun times. We were represented on the Student Council, and the Inter-Dormitory Council. Athletics claimed our time, too, as we won second place in the volleyball tournament and were finalists in badminton. Again this year, we teamed up with Kappa in the KA Powder Puff Bowl. We whizzed right up to our pledge-active Halloween party, which turned out to be quite a gala show (wardrobe by Charles Adams) . The traditional Chi Omega Faculty Cocoa Party was again a grand success, even though someone did manage to lose the punch table. But the climax of the year ' s social events was the February formal held at the Bellemont, where our pledges were pre- sented. And, so again, in a traditionally full year, the ideals and the spirit of Chi Omega have shone forth under the sign of the tawny grey owl.

President ' Neath the Tri Delta Moon there were many activities and honors tor the 1956-57 school year. We could be found on the parade ground, marching as spon- sors on Tuesday afternoons; or in the freshman dorms as Advisors; or maybe presiding over meetings of various clubs, committees, and organizations. The Freshman, GUMBO and Homecoming Courts were all proud to claim Tri Deltas among their honored lew. And when we weren ' t busy with all of these campus doings, our sorority activities kept us in a whirl. Right before rush week in September, we gathered at Grand Isle for a House Party. After a successful week, we welcomed thirty-eight new pledges at the Bid Supper and then plunged into a seige of parties during Alpha Week. Soon the Smarty Party came along, where we honored girls with averages of 2.0 or above. Then our mothers and alums were entertained at the Halloween Party. Novem- ber brought the Founder ' s Day Banquet; and December, the Pine Party given by the pledges, and the Powder Puff Bowl (we played with Chi O and won) . Activities rolled on in the new year with the Under-the-Sea Formal, the Delta Omega Birthday Party and Delta Week and Initiation. The Tri Psi Chicken Fry (our mothers are the greatest) and our May House Party wrapped up the year.

Then, in the annual swimming meet, Simone, Jackie and Linda plunged into the finals. In October, our province officer visited us and was wel- comed with a breakfast following the Homecoming game, to which alums and mothers were also invited. November was hayride month, the DG ' s agreed, as we danced and dined in perfect harvest-moon weather. When the pledges planned the customary post-Christmas party for the children at the School for the Blind, they wondered about entertainment. How- ever, the children took care of that, with their songs, stories and games. We were all proud, too, the day Ann Former ' s Brownies from the school ap- peared on the local television station. Pat and JoAnn worked with another Brownie troop in Baton Rouge, helping them work toward their fly-up wings. In March, our formal was held at Mike and Tony ' s, where we danced to the music of the Eight Tones. As the last big social event of the year, it was quite a success, leaving us with memories to cherish throughout the summer. So ends another year for Delta Gamma and the girls who love her golden anchor. MEMBERS First Row: Elise Anderson, Marjorie A. Babington, Doris Dale Baker, Kay Bethca.

President After a successful rush week, for the third straight year we filled the Panhellenic quota and pledged thirty-eight new girls. As a means of getting really acquainted, we left (equipped with bathing suits and jeans) for a weekend houseparty at Camp Singing Waters. Here the pledges presented their version of Rush Week which was certainly enjoyed by all. Amid song and candlelight, Sigma honored its six founders at a banquet held at the Bellemont. Gail Gibbens Strickley, 1954 President, was guest speak- er. As one facet of our philanthropic program, we sang Christmas carols at the Old Folks Home and presented them with gifts. Sigmas aren ' t too old to enjoy Easter, as we proved when, with Lambda Chi, we gave an Easter Egg Hunt at City Park for the Children from the Louisiana School for the Deaf. For the second year running, we captured first place in the Sigma Chi Pirogue Derby. The Sigma Chi ' s also honored the Delta Zeta ' s later during the year with a buffet dinner and dance at their house. From the looks of things one would probably think that sorority life is all play and no work. However, parties do not yield to the many positions that are held by our members on the campus, and the honors they have received.

In the first WRA activity of the year, the Swimming Meet, we walked off with top honors and our relay team set a new LSU pool record. Also in the fall, there was a Getting to Know You slumber party at the Prescott ' s home; a surprise Halloween party for the pledges, and our Founder ' s Day at the Baton Rouge Country Club on October 23, with almost 150 pledges, actives and alums attending. With the SAE ' s, we entertained the orphans at a Christmas Party, which has become a well-established tradition. Members of Epsilon worked hard with Gamma Kappa, our sister chapter at SLI; in September we assisted with the installation of the chapter and in De- cember, helped with their first initiation. Outstanding members received awards at the annual garden party, which made us think of our 1956 honor initiate, Miss Ollie Burden. When February came, we began counting the days until the White Rose Formal and the night proved to be one of the most memorable of the year. Houseparty followed, as did exams, and it was farewell for the summer.

Bermuda shorts were the order of the day, when we gathered at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Barksdale for a Bar-B-Q in October. This seemed to set off a string of activities that lasted till the end of school. Among these were parties-at Halloween the actives surprised the pledges (dressed ghoulishly for the occasion) ; then, at Christmastime, the pledges turned the tables and did a little surprising of their own. During this time, however, we did other things besides party. For Thanksgiving and Christmas, the chapter sent baskets to needy families; later on, our pledges made rag-dolls for the children at the School for the Deaf. It ' s a Hare-Raising Occasion we said when Homecoming rolled around-and walked off with second place in decorations. Spring found us knee-deep in plans for our Pink Castle Ball at the Belle- mont. Practicing for Song Fest (last year we placed second) kept us busy, too, as did planning lor our weekend at Gulf Hills, the final event on our year ' s agenda.

In the fall, we were busy with Homecoming decorations with the theme Rocking on Our Record , which was awarded fourth place. Fol- lowing this, there were many athletic events, including the Powder Puff Bowl, and (thanks to Martha Charlotte and Betty) top honors in the Archery tourna- ment. Christmas came, and the ATO ' s and Pi Phi ' s gave a party for the orphans. In March, we celebrated Arrow Week to prepare the pledges for initiation. The following month, we honored our founders at our annual banquet. May brought with it the Spring Formal in honor of the initiates and our annual Houseparty. During the year Pi Phi ' s participated in campus activities: many were active in honorary and professional organizations, several were ROTC Sponsors, others served as Freshman Advisors, while still others appeared in the Freshman Day Court and in the finals for Darling of LSU.

The offices are held by the senior delegates, in rotation, in order of the founding dates of their sororities. Cooperating with the university administration, the Council seeks to maintain high social stand- ards and to further tine intellectual accomplishment, as well as sound scholar- ship. In the field of sorority and intersorority relations, it compiles rules govern- ing rushing, pledging and initiation, and discusses problems arising in sorority and university life. An open house sponsored by this group was held on the morning of Home- coming in the Panhellenion. Then, a Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony was initiated this year, at which all of the campus Christmas lights were turned on. The Council also sponsors an annual Spring Workshop for new sorority officers.

Fraternities Fraternities at LSU seek to strenthen and inspire the boys who are brothers under a common creed of loyalty. They pledge themselves to the highest of ideals socially, mor- ally and scholastically. Under this pledge, the members are helped to develop into lifelong friends, well-rounded stu- dents and a closer fellowship of men. 275 Inter fraternity Council SIDNEY MILLER BILL ZIMMERMAN .

Through the weeks of first semester, we got together for a party every Saturday night after the game and on other occasions, too. In December, there was our annual Christmas party at the Old State Capitol and, also another party when we joined hands with the Pi Phi ' s to give a group of orphans a real Christmas party. Our social calendar was rounded out by the annual formal, and other events to keep the boys busy (maybe ping-pong on the patio?) . Our influence on the campus was evidenced by the number of leading positions held by ATO ' s, such as President of the Student Body, President of the Music School, President of the L Club, President of the Arnold Air Society, Wing Commander, members of Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities, to name a few. Then there are quite a few outstanding varsity foot- ball players numbered among the brothers. And while we ' re on the subject of athletics, it might be a good idea to mention our active participation in all of the phases of intramural sports.

President Ever since Zeta Zeta chapter was established at LSU in 1923, the Dekes have shown outstanding leadership qualities in every phase of campus life. And this doesn ' t stop at the gates of the University-for in Law School, Med School and in later years, we have proven our claim to this statement. And when its time to relax, we seem to have a special knack for giving the best parties, too. For instance, we brightened an otherwise gloomy football season with our post- game parties, which really took some of the sting out of our defeats. One party in particular will go down in history-the one in New Orleans after we watched the Tigers clobber Tulane; what a night! Christmas season brought a string of good times like the party where we had two bands during intermission. Then there was the Kappa-Deke get-together for some under-privileged children. After we came back to school the cycle started all over again, with the Dogpatch Party and the Bowery Party. Then, the good brothers went formal, and celebrated in typical Deke style. Men- tion Covington and we recall our picnic over at Favrotville, with the Tulane chapter. These, and many other Blasts helped relieve the strain of the books that plague every college student. But we still had time for intramural sports, and have our eye on the Sweepstakes Trophy. MEMBERS First Row: Edward Abell, Kenn Abington, C.

With inspiration from and under the leadership of A Man called Superduck, the Knights of Kappa Alpha clashed on the gridiron with the milk and doughnut boys of Sigma Chi. This eventful occasion was the annual Charity Bowl, which we sponsor in connection with the Good Fellows Toy Fund. All of our other activities didn ' t keep us from having fun, however. Two of our outstanding parties of the year were the Christmas Party and the French Apache Party. However, the supreme KA social event (as always) was the Old South Ball, with its romantic atmosphere of the ante-bellum south. We delivered invitations by mounted, uniformed messenger; then, donned Con- federate uniforms and southern gentleman costumes, while our dates wore traditional ante-bellum dresses, setting the stage for our trip back to the last century. At the beginning of the weekend, we proclaimed our secession from the Union; then, hoisted the Stars and Bars, and spent the rest of the weekend singing Dixie, and enjoying ourselves in the delightful southern manner.

Rush Week was really cool with the newly installed air-conditioning system and the pledging of forty-two fine young men. Football season proved to be a blast, as parties were given after every game, and we culminated Homecoming with the appropriate decora- tions and dance. The annual Christmas Party was a huge success; most assuredly. Other parties such as the Damon Runyon Party, the Circus Party, (given by the pledges) and others were really simply sporty! No wonder we ' re looking forward to the Star Dust Formal with anticipation of a wonderful time. The Founder ' s Day Banquet was a big event, and was highlighted by the fact that the National Worthy Grand Master of all Kappa Sigma is a graduate of LSU and a Gamma alumni Mr. George Reymond. His portrait was pre- sented to the chapter at the banquet, which was in honor of Brother Reymond. We ' re striving to keep our high scholastic average and we ' re looking forward to the defense of the Sweepstakes Trophy won last year. Of course, just these few activities cannot begin to tell of the good times had or the life-time friends made at the old Kappa Sig House. But it is great!

For our parties, we imported the best bands that economy would permit and celebrated on every possible occasion. We were particularly honored to have Miss Carolann Conner, the fraternity ' s International Crescent Girl, present to take part in rush activities.

KING President SAE has completed another year of social, athletic, scholastic, and campus citizenship attainments. Our parties, as always, were highlights of the year for example, the Corral Party and the Beachcomber ' s Ball. All social (Unctions are not directed at self-entertainment, however, since Christmas and Easter parties are always given for local orphans. Athletics, too are an integral part of the fraternity year from ping-pong to football in intramurals. We have consistently ranked near the top in intramurals as was shown by third place in the running for the Sweepstakes Trophy last year. (We even have an athletic lion he really does get around; swims well, too!) In scholarship, the fraternity average was among the top five and well above the all-men ' s average. We are justly proud of our members who have boosted this score by attaining nearly perfect averages. Campus citi enship is not neglected as it witnessed by members running for and holding elective positions in student government. In recognition of their outstanding participa- tion in positions of leadership, SAE ' s have been selected for membership in ODK and have appeared in WHO ' S WHO. Such are the typical activities of a year led by Phi Alpha ' s guiding light. MEMBERS First Row: Hilly H. Alexander, William I). H. Al- len, James A. Barksdale. William H. Bassett, Jr., Donald I..

Other awards came our way, also, as we captured a number of first place trophies and the Sweepstakes Trophy of the Purple Bracket for interfraternity athletics. In other words, Phi Belts really go out for sports in a big way. Highlights of the social calendar (which was full of our activities) were the parties we gave after each and every football game; the Christmas party was a great one, with some of the comic presents getting quite a lew laughs. Later on, there was the Good Ship Phi Party, for which we all dressed as beach- combers, and then, the Phi Delta Theta Formal an event which proved to come up to our expectations. Phi Delta Theta prides itself on its high scholastic standing which is evidenced by the large number of brothers holding membership in such honor- ary organizations as Phi Eta Sigma, Pi Mu Epsilon, Alpha Kappa Psi, Alpha Chi Sigma, and Phi Gamma Mu. Military and service organizations, too, claim some of our time here at LSU. But always there ' s a chance to relax over at the house with the other members of the grand old fraternity. 292 MEMBERS First Row: Wayne Albritton, Tommy Bienert, Richard Blossman, Richard Bourgeois.

It is one symbol of the growth of Beta Rho chapter since it was established at LSU in 1948; we ' ve really taken root, now. But that doesn ' t mean we ' re standing still just look at the Phi Gams who are student leaders in their fields, and in university-wide activities. For instance, we take an active part (is there any other kind) in the Military, in student govern- ment, in professional, honorary, and religious organizations. The editor of the LSU ENGINEER this year was one of the brothers, too. Socially, the Black Diamond Formal was the highlight of the school year. But there were other, less formal parties where we had just as much fun. One of these more informal get-togethers was the Fiji Island Ball, where we had a chance to go native complete with realistic costumes in keeping with the party ' s theme. Ever see palm trees on campus? Well, there were for our party! We have certainly had one more outstanding year, and are looking forward to even better things in store for next year. With that idea in mind, we ' re plan- ning another terrific rush week! 294 MEMBERS First ROM: Robert A. Adams, William C. Adams. Richard Baiton, Douglas Brothers, James Carney. Second Row: R. C.

President From the gracious white colonial house of southern woods came another eventful year. From climbing radio towers to social events, we were extremely active. This past year has given Sigma Chi many things of which to be proud; Sigs belonging to Phi Eta Sigma and other honoraries were numerous; Varsity teams headed by Sigs are no novelty; in intramurals we captured honors in football, basketball, tennis, and track. Politics appealed to many this year and A S and Commerce had Sigs at their head. On the lighter side, two pledges experienced radio-tower-climbing for the first time when they recovered the cherished Sweepstakes Trophy. On a Tuesday night in December, they reported that the city really looked great from 245 feet up! The results? Well, besides a retrieved trophy, there were two tired pledges and no pledge test that Tuesday. As for parties, there was the famous Milk and Doughnut Party, the parties after the football games and many others. The Pirogue Derby and Sorority Field Day once again claimed wide- spread attention. At Christmas-time, the IVfother ' s Club added to the festivities of the season. But naturally, the climax of the social activities was the Sweet- heart Formal, an elegant tradition of Sigma Chi.

It ' s no wonder, either, considering the Christmas party and the White Star Formal. Then there was our own personal piece de resistance, the annual Taxi Dance. These gatherings proved beyond a doubt that the boys of Sigma Nu knew how to party. We Snakes were not lacking scholastically, though, since we ranked high on the LSU fraternity scholarship list. In fact, last year Phi chapter rated second place in scholastic average of all the one hundred twenty-three Sigma Nu chapters across the nation. We have really enjoyed participating in interfrateinity athletics and other IFC-sponsored activities such as Greek Week, which drew the social fraternities closer together. Then our initiation was a red- letter event for all the brothers -new and old. Even though they had pulled all the old tricks-like hiding the silver we were proud to see them wearing the Sigma Nu pin at last. All through the year, the house has been the center of activity for all of us from sun-up to sunset, and for the graduating seniors it will become a place of many memories, of days in Sigma Nu. 298 7MPni flLr xL l m A iii -i j MEMBERS First Row: A R.

As a result, we Theta Kaps reaped in a crazy harvest of about forty-five cool pledge-cats. Football season rolled around and everybody was all hung up on football games so we decided to rouse the house for a party or two after the games. Then came Homecoming Day! What a jive! After the game, we had rockin ' Robert Milburn and his jive gang. We came through like fish to win the Sigma Chi Pirogue Derby and _swam off with the traditional paddle. After the pigskin era, we settled down to some interfraternity sports in which we did pretty hot for ourselves. ' Course our social blasts didn ' t cease. We came through with a visit to the North Pole via a Christmas Party and Santa Glaus. Then came our annual Belle of the Ball formal, closely followed by the yearly awards banquet. To climax another brilliant year at the Ole War Skule we turned South Sea Islanders to have a hula-hula, bula-bula swinging time. MEMBERS First Row: J. C. Arceneaux, R. D. Arnold, C. S. Azevedo, N.

The advent of football season marked the opening of our social activities with pre-game buffets and post-game parties. Highlighting the year ' s calendar were the Pledge-Active football game, and the Pledge-Active party where we really had a good time. The annual Blue and White Formal was quite an affair. And the ZBTahiti party was one of the best ever, with crawfish and bamboo all over. Oh, yes- Homecoming week- end, a regular melee of activity, was marked by a tremendous fiasco in the form of a black monster-scrapbook which drew many a second glance-but was no winner. Despite the busy schedule, we Zebes managed to rank second in scholar- ship among all fraternities. Several of our members are prominent on campus -IFC and IFAC presidents are both Zebes; others are officers of their colleges or active in some other capacity in student govrnment. This year as usual, we took part in interfraternity athletics and other activities. As exams approach with menacing speed, we like to try to forget the not-too-distant future and think a little about the past year, with its work and fun at the ZBT House. 302 M H M B H R S First Row: S.

Pictured on this page are the handsome individuals who represent their respective fraternities; however, in a meeting these sweet smiling young lads change to ferocious arbitrators on the point system, protests, fines, officiating, etc. On a more serious note, these boys are responsible to the council and to their fraternities for seeing that athletic events are scheduled and played at the right time and place. At the Watershow in May, trophies are awarded to bracket winners for sweepstake and individual sports. Only through the cooperation of all fraternities and the Intramural Athletic Depart- ment is this program possible. M 1 Mill Rs John Braswell. David Caplan. Robert Boli diwan. Rolicrt Farlier.

Hon- orary societies in every possible field of endeavor extend membership to these deserving students. Their purpose is to recognize men and women who have attained a high standard of efficiency in college activities. This recognition is designed to inspire others to attainments along similar lines. The Honoraries bring together the most representa- tive students in all phases of college life and also bring to- gether the students and faculty in organizations of mutual interest. To be extended an invitation for membership in any of honoraries is considered one of the highest honors to be achieved. Omicron Delta Kappa Omicron Delta Kappa is a leadership honor society for men. It is designed to recognize excellence whether it be obtained in scholarship, leadership, athletics, mu- sic, drama, or any of the many facets of college life. The first circle was established on the Washington and Lee Campus in 1914. The Louisiana State University Circle was organized and affiliated with the national organi- zation in 1933. Twice a year the society taps a select group of men from the student body and the faculty and die administration. Other than being an honor society, the Circle is de- signed to stimulate discussion of campus problems among it members. More problems are discussed dian solved; more polemics are given than analytical discussions but such is the way of the world. However, the Circle alwa s does succeed in solving the problems of where it will eat at its next dinner meeting. Thus, it can be said that ODK is not only the high- est honor society for men on the L.S.U. campus, but a valuable forum for discussing important problems.

Being recognized by this organi ation is the high- est honor an undergraduate woman can receive. In 193-1, Blazer Chapter was installed at LSU. Each year Blazer Chapter gives a Smarty Party for junior women who have maintained at least a 2.0 over- all average. During the Homecoming celebration, Mor- tar Board with members of ODK furnish an informa- tion booth to help our alumni, and in the spring it joins with ODK to co-sponsor the annual Honors Day Convocation. At this time Mortar Board presents an award to the outstanding freshman girl and caps the girls of the next year ' s chapter. 312 Alpha Lambda Delta Since Alpha Lambda Delta is an organization com- posed of freshmen girls who maintain a 2.5 average their first semester or first two semesters as a freshman, ALD members are found in any and every college on campus. The organization has a B-average tea in East Hall reception room in December and a banquet with Phi Eta Sigma in March at the Faculty Club. There are no definite meeting times. Only when necessary the Coun- cil (officers) meets and decides any current business. Alpha Lambda Delta was founded at the University ol Illinois in 1924.

These are the people who have pledged their lives to the kids, bless ' em. 320 Mu sigma Rho members meet each month in the scholarly confines of the Law Building. An attempt is made to keep the oil of learning burning brightly by bringing in outstanding lecturers from the faculty and outside groups. Formal business is conducted after the program which is a decided departure from general procedure. Initiations are anticipated by the members as each is highlighted by a feast at the Faculty Club. Election of new officers is held at the banquet in the Spring. In the interest of encouraging scholarship, Mu Sig- ma societies have been formed in high schools through- out the state. An essay contest is conducted annually for members of these high school societies, and the award is made at a luncheon in the spring. Mu Sigma Rbo EDWARD THORN HILL LARRY KLEIN PETER .

Promoting the advancement and dissemination of knowledge concerning practices in in- dustry as well as the theory of mechanical engineering falls within their realm. From early morning until late afternoon, the mechanical engineer stays in labs and classes. He runs through this routine as regularly as some of the machines he works with. A.S.M.E. gives him a chance to relax. He furthers his social life by contacts with professors and students. A great deal of time is spent making professional contacts which will serve him in his future field. Left to Right: George Morgan, Felix Adam, Jim Morris, T.

They hope to mani- pulate successfully those spaces in which we live. La Clef, in attempting to launch architectural students to- ward their destination, lit the fuse early this year by having a dynamic speaker describe what to expect on the journey through architectural practice. With a burst of new power, the second stage propelled the students further toward their goal with competitions, films, dem- onstrations, and more excellent speakers. The end of the year found the students anticipating further instruc- tion on the conquering of space. Construction Committee for Engineering Day Exhibit.

Two weeks later came a dance at the Lion ' s Club Lodge for the members of the Society who attended summer camp in 1950. In September, the Society of Foresters initiated proceedings to incorporate. Forestry Field Day was observed at Camp Garrison during October. The main attraction of this annual affair is the initiation of new mem- bers into the Society. Homecoming was also important to the So- ciety this year because the organization won first place in its division with their unique model of Paul Bunyan.
