Fiscal Responsibility The importance of support and involvement of Tulane and New- comb graduates cannot be overem- phasized. The financial support of the university through giving to the Alumni Fund is vital to the oper- ation of Tulane. The unrestricted gifts we receive go directly to support the operations of the university. This is the money that pays salaries, cuts grass, and lights buildings. It ' s the lifeblood of the university and its importance cannot be overlooked by adminis- trators, alumni, or students. One of our major goals at the Alumni Fund Office is to communi- cate a feeling of responsibility to our alumni — a desire to invest in the future of the university so that Tu- lane can provide generations of stu- dents the same opportunities it has offered to its students for nearly 1 50 years. Often many students are involved in the solicitation of alumni through our Student Foundation or student phonathons, and they learn, even before the first letter arrives from our office following their gradu- ations, the importance of commit- ment and ongoing support of the university. Programs like our student phon- athons, Hotline and Spring Ring, make students (future alum- ni) aware of the importance of an- nual support in the functioning of a private institution. Through insight gained by working on the other side of the fund raising fence, these stu- dent volunteers often become some of our most dedicated and generous alumni. Their support continues long after their evenings in the phon- athon room in the back of the Alum- ni House are over and our gratitude to them continues long after they have graduated. — Terry Jones Director of Alumni Fund Tulane Booster Club, an organization within tlie Green Wave Club, frequently travel with and support the football game. Hotline volunteers man the telephones at the Business School night at Spring Ring, a student volunteer pro- ject to raise money for the school. Budget review committee of the University Senate met in April to discuss financial plans for the 1982-83 academic year. 12 Fiscal Responsibility

Mf Residential Living Throughout the years, students living in campus housing have pro- fessed to do so for one of two rea- sons: that either the convenience or the established friendships outweighted the problems of the residence halls. But recent changes and renova- tions have made living on campus just a litle bit nicer. For the first time at Tulane an experimental hall program was started. Residents in one floor of Warren House and two floors of Sharp, planned, painted, and select- ed carpeting for their living areas. Residents on a floor in Butler en- circled their hall with a graphic. Students were allowed to paint mu- rals in their rooms, and build lofts. In many cases, once permission was granted, it was anything goes ! And in a move that affected even more residents, the Newcomb and Tulane Resident Councils were again made stronger, and began participating jointly in projects. Pressure was taken off the resident advisors as house councils took a more active part in programming. An even more visible change was the start of maintenance that had been long-planned by the Depart- ment of Residential Life. Furniture in Josephine Louise House was re- finished, many residence halls re- ceived new lounge furniture, rooms got new blinds and furniture, and painting programs were begun. Living in a dorm still was not like home, but it was on its way. — Linda Franke Department of Residential Life Women ' s dorm bathrooms are especially crowded be- fore 9:00 a.m. classes and before Friday and Saturday night dates. Painting the 8th floor wall of Butler Hall was part of the Residential Life Department ' s Experimental Hall program. Sunbathing on Irby ' s second floor balcony is a favorite spring semester pastime. i »i. - ■ mfj . f ' ' • 14 presidential Living i. r, V
