Preparations are made for initiating unsuspecting Frosh into the whirl of BUY, BUY, BUY. The clothing essentials have not quite adjusted to the compact car look. RUSH . . . ORIENTATION How many fraternit - men have said, If I could just go through i-ush again, now that 1 know what was going on. And how many rush captains would say, Thank God they can ' t. Whether a rushee or rushing, the an- nual ritual of choosing pledges is uniquely fascinating. A kaleidoscopic whirl of parties, meetings, conversations and faces. The women do it a little differently, of course. More ordered. More sedate. But behind it all are the same breathless questions. Will we get her? Will they take me? Halfway through the week it seems time has stopped, and the madness v ' ill go on forever. Then, one Sunday, rush week is over, the sun shines on new pledge pins and new faces. Faces for which the world will never be the same again. The well-worn smiles and handshakes of another Rush Week.

.111 integral part of the laiiioiis (Jrcscuiir (Jit . ARRIVAL The first of thousands of trips over the steps of J.L. Fall arrival signifies the beginning of a new year. Whether for the first time or the fifth, we arrive to- gether in the fall and don our other faces for the year. To the freshmen it ' s new and strange, and even to the rest of us there is a mixture of the new with the old. A new face, a new course, a new- instructor, but the paths are old and well-beaten. To the most tempered scholar there is an excitement, a sense of new horizons. So the clothes go in the closet, the books back on the shelf, and we open the door on another year. For the new freshmen, orientation is the first contact with the serious world of the University. Here is the first glimpse of the patterns and people v ho, for four years, v ill shape their lives. It ' s dull at times, but it ' s an- otlier part of beginning.

NEWCOMB WOMEN m • Ai ' — f - - •■ -Miss Beth Jones extends a casual welcome to the Newcomb campus. They are not unlike other college women, except that rhey are Newcomb women. They are different because of their personalities, their traditions and their individual purposes. The Newcomb way comes quickly to the newl - exposed. Rain coats over bermudas, gab sessions after dates, books with crests on the dust covers— they are all a little bit of Newcomb. And when Saturday night comes they are chic of clothes and hairdo, sophisticated in manner, womanK- in tiieir ways. They belong to Tu- lane as much as to themselves. They and we understand these intangibles. Sororities compete for the coveted Pan-Hellenic Trophy. The May Da ' Queen, Miss Cliarlene Podas, ind her In eh ' court.
