A fafl arrival contemplates the comforts of Southern hospitality and the prospects of lively campus spirit. Arrival Of Fall Renews Campus Activities And Classes The long lines of registiatioii lead directly to alarm clocks and early rising, classes and books, study, study, and more study. Ninety degree weather and foothall games cause us to think that summertime has simply turned to Indian summer and not fall at all . . . But, grad- ually the rains come, usually at the same time as the arrival of Home- coming . . . The homecoming festivities end abruptly as mid-semester exams pile up in a sudden onslaught and pink slips peek daintily from beneath the flaps of envelopes. As fall really begins to take hold, deferred rush sees the comings and goings of freshmen and sorority girls up and down Broadway. Pep rallies, fraternity football games, the freshman talent show — all these thrust Tulane into a frenzy of activity which barely diminishes until Thanksgiving vaca- tion. i6

i The Tulane Day Campers have no regrets about their conversion of the Newcomb Quadrangle into a summer golf course. They enjoy every minute of their attempts to become professionals. The summer student differs remarkably from the winter student as is evidenced by this young lady ' s leisurely study jnethod. Unfamiliar Faces Invade Campus During Summer Months Graduation . . . trunks and packing . . . heat and humidity . . . rushing to catch that plane . . . and finally good-byes . . . the campus is deserted, the classes empty, the University Center quiet. Then, like a burst of thunder, the race is on again. New and unfamiliar faces place their belongings in what last spring we called our room. Summer school students take over our spot in the library, our school, our campus. A rather leisurely air pervades the students in burmuda shorts as they walk to classes. The hush of exams is broken by the spring of the diving board as the camp counselor instructs his pupils . . . Little girls in black leotards race up the steps of the Newcomb gym to their dance class as the Tulane campers invade the baseball diamonds. Suddenly, the whole campus takes on a new look as the face-lifting program gets into full swing . . . New dorms seem to spring up from the very spot where we played football last fall. Time speeds by . . . Unbelievably it ' s fall again and that first student with suitcase in hand surveys the campus wearing that familiar smile of I ' m back at last . . . Classes just around the corner. 15
