1049-50 AS THE HULLABALOO SAW IT Excerpts from the Edi ' .orial Pages of the Tulane Hullabaloo October 6 . . . With regret we ac- i-ept the inevitable and approve the recommendation of the Student Coun- cil to publish the names of honor sys- tem violators . . . we hope that this measure will detour potential violators and therefore have to be exercised very little . . . October 13 . . . The return of a semblance :)f orderly con- duct at the movies in McAlister Audi- torium last weekend wjs heartening ... it might seem facetiou.; to congratu- late college students for behaving as gentlemen, but in view c; the exam- ples of rudeness during movies in the past, we think that praise is called for . . . October 20 . . . Notre Dame ' s Frank Leahy has a theory about how many players take the field in a foot- ball game. He says that ii takes twelve men to win. He sends eleven onto the field and leaves it up to iht students to keep that other man — ' he rooters in the stands and on the campus — encour- aging and supporting the first eleven . . . we believe that the Greenies were outnumbered Saturday: Tulane had elev- en good men on the field, but Notre Darae had twelve . . . November 10 . . . A.D. 1950 will be remembered as an important year in university history. It will be the year that construction was first started on units of a large-scale Tulane dormitory housing program . . . December 1 . . . This week, the after- math of the LSU game, it became in- creasingly plain that there exists on the Tulane campus a relative lack of school spirit . . . we fcce a great challenge: every student, from the hoari- est upperclassman to the freshman wet- test behind the ears, must take part in a rebirth of ardor, or else Tulane spirit will inevitably die a slow death . . . December 15 . . . Dr. Kieffer has succeeded in smearing Tuiane ' s name and creating an impression in the minds of many — an impression that must be removed ... we call upon Dr. Kieffer to announce the names of any Com- munistic professors . . . Who are they? What is their organization? II Dr. Kieffer doesn ' t do this, he stands self-convicted of dealing us all a hard kick . . . Jan- uary 5 . . . Tulane needs a centrally located Student Union Building. The present Student Center has neither ade- quate space nor enough equipment to provide for the needs of a student population in excess of 6,500 . . . January 12 ... A couple of years ago it was no task at all to gel a ticket for a Tulane basketball game . . . now. If we want a ticket, we have to hike over to the stadium and back ... a more practical location for the ticket office Is a must . . . February 9 . . . Another slam at fraternities this month — this lime by Mrs. Glenn Frank, widow of the former president of the University of Wisconsin, in an article, Citadels of Snobbery, in this month ' s Pageant magazine . . ■ she failed to emphasize the high ideals and good works of fraternities and sororities ... at Tu- lane we have seen few instances of snobbery, undemocialic or un-American action on the part of .her fraternities and sororities. Instjead they are an im- portant part of student life . . . Feb- ruary 18 . . . The Hullabaloo takes pride once again in advocating Kew Orleans ' grandest and most distinctive tradition — the wearing of a mask on Mardi Gras day . . . we commend those student groups that are decorating trucks which will follow the Rex parade Tuesday morning . . . and we urge every stu- dent to abandon his studies for a day to don a mask and costume . . . March 2 ... At its third convention this week, the Student Federation of Louisiana Col- leges and Universities will have arrived at a crucial point . . . should SFLCU fail to accomphsh anything that will make students aware and appreciative of its existence, it will be relegated to the role of just another organization . . . the Federation has to choose be- tween real and written existence . . . March 9 . . . Happy birthday to Carnival, Tuiane ' s literary magazine . . . when its first issue appeared last May, a long-felt gap in the structure of stu- dent activities was filled ... it seems to be here to stay . . . March 16 . . . From all reports, the best Campus Nile in many years hit Tulane Saturday, but an estimated 400 persons were turned away from the already overflowing Dixon Hall . . . why wasn ' t Campus Nile given at McAlister? . . . maybe someonje who wanted to see Campus Nile will never get the chance . . . we wouldn ' t want that to happen . . . Cam- pus Nile was too enjoyable . . . March 23 ... If a student doesn ' vote, he is a nonentity in student government, and has no basis for criticizing any actions of ths Student Council . . . how can he chastise the representatives for fail- ing to meet their obligation to him when ho has failed them? . . . now is the time for each student to survey the candidates, find out their qualifications, check their platforms and then vote In three officers whom he thinks will run things the way he likes ' hem run . . . March 30 . . . Tomorrow ' s election sees the end of the middleman: lor the first time in the history of the University, the student has a direct voice in elect- ing his president . . . the turn-out will be an Index of the student body ' s in- terest In a good old American ideal that thinking people have guarded jealously for centuries . . . Abe Lincoln christ- ened it — government by Iho people . . . April 13 . . . The fast-buck boys have finally run up against an Imposing ob- stacle to their recent sL ' ccesses in the Vieux Carre . . . that obstacle Is an enraged citizenry . . . the oppor- tunity is certainly here for the honest club-owners and operators in French town to form the vanguard of a clean- up corps down there . . . April 20 . . . Saturday the Student Council closed its doors to inleresUKJ stucents when reaching the decision to invalidate the recent election . . . the council had no right to do so ... an oversight? . . . April 27 . . . This is iho last semester lor lames M. Robert, dea.i of the Col- lege of Engineering ... he has served Tulane faithfully for 44 years ... no longer will new students hear his fa- therly advice that there Ic no mystery in engineering ... his philoeophy held that the answers were there for anyone who would search for them . . ■ May 4 . . . Tulane needs something more than a weekly paper . . . under present circumstances, the Hullabaloo cannot adequately serve the purpoees of Tuiane ' s student body . . . many other universities, havin7 little more claim to greatness than Tulane. publish student daihes . . . ii Tulane can ' t be on the list with Harvard. Yale. Columbia. Calilornia. Baylor. Michigan. Missouri. Virginia and L.S.n., all of whom publish fine college dailies, can ' t the student Ixdy here try at least to publish some- thina mcrp thnn a weekly tabloid? — Charles Ramond. That Hullabaloo fea.ti of ' 50 That ain ' t nice, Clyde! Pipe the calendar!

Pete ' s got the goat now, but Zastrow got It later CHEERLEADERS The Cheerleaders, this year had their best year In terms of co- operation of the student body. Tulane ' s spirit began to arrive at the first football game and continually grew largely due to the help of the athletes who this year fought hard in every game that fhey played. Tulane was proud of these men and found it easy to cheer for them and consequently did cheer with all their might. Fog-horn voiced Rudy Eason and cute li ' l Tinky Thibaut were head and assistant cheerleaders. Pete Roux and Franit McDonald flip-flopped in a professional manner to help make the squad have a sharper crew. Don Harris and Jackie Vizzini contributed much to the new yells and last, but not least, Edie Harris from Tennessee kept the squad in a constant dither with her southern drawl.
