april A trip to Pensacola during spring break is a requirement for graduation from the University. At least it ought to be. Only four hours away from New Orleans, Pensacola claims to have the prettiest beaches in the coyniry and few would dispute it. The sands are pure white and the water is clear enough to see all the jellyfish on the bottom. All the popular water sports, and some that haven ' t been invented yet, are available for the adventurous. Those who are less athletically inclined read trashy novels, toss frisbees, relax, talk with friends and return to New Orleans with the mandatory spring break tan. Quests staying at the Holiday Inn for the first time go up to the bar hoping to meet new people, but they soon discover that the entire crowd is comprised of Tulane students drinking gin and tonics in Pensacola. lil

april Although Tulane artists do not distinguish themselves from the rest of the student body, they are usually fairly easy to spot by the paint smudges on their faces and the faint but distinctive odor of turpentine which surrounds them. Nevertheless, often the only masterpieces the other students have the opportunity to see are the multi-colored oil splotches which form murals on their jeans. The Newcomb Spring Arts Festival gives the talented artists a chance to display and sell their pieces to the community. The outdoor festival features drawings, ceramics, photographs, glass, graphics, and paintings. Judges award prizes to the best entries. Some come to the festival to invest in a work by a budding artist, but most of the people simply enjoy viewing the many talents of the Tulane art students.

may The Jazz and Heritage Festival is a New Orleans celebration of Dixieland jazz, and rhythm and blues, it is a tribute to music with roots that link the generations and a spirit that ensures its survival. Echos of the past resound as a saxaphone player wails the blues, or, minutes later, toots a ragtime melody. The music is more than talent; it is an expression, a feeling that comes from the heart. Louisiana ' s heritage is as rich in food as it is in music and the Jazz Fest features forty food booths offering a wide variety of culinary delights. Tulane students rapidly become familiar with the local cuisine, and they boast about crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, and gumbo, with as much enthusiasm as the natives. Food is one of the great delights of life, and in New Orleans, life is often delightful.
