Iii ' i ' iali ' You walk across the street when I tell you to, not before! Cash a check? No, we don ' t believe in them. Rally ' Round the Flag, Boys The first contact of the student, new or old, is the force of growth that he does not choose, the strict yet compassionate Father image that exists to exert a pro- tective control over him. The administrators guide the path of his education, ensuring him the finest education possible and the curriculum most suited to his aptitudes. The Campus Police Force protects him from the capri- cious acts of immaturity and teaches him to accept a regulated life. He is provided with a cafeteria and a bookstore, which guide his physical and intellectual well-being. But the sum of all these forces is the impor- tant phase of his existence: an organization whose essence is to help him grow, to lead him towards the preferable road of mature life, and irrevocably away from his childhood. 20

When the Fall of the year is beginning to spread, hot and damp as always, over the Mississippi Delta, the new year of the Univer- sity begins. September, to paraphrase, is a cruel month in New Orleans, and it is even more bewildering to the thousand- odd stu- dents who face Tulane for the first time. For the rest, it is merely taking up where they left off last May: the same friends; a planned curriculum; renewed social life. But for the new student, the Freshman, the transfer stu- dent, September is the moment of crisis, the moment at which the forces that will guide his growth must find him, and he must find them. There is the chaos of registration, which no one handles efficiently. There is the guick- ly-made but important decision that must be made after a week and a half of rush. And then he settles down, relaxed in his personal groove, to immerse himself in the life of the University.
