Looking good in shades and shorts, Kai Jacobs awaits his turn with the frishee. Whether he is jamming to the music or playing hackey-sack. Erik Magnusson is having a good time at TGIF. TGIF is symbolic of the end of the week and the beginning of the weekend. It also pro- vides an opportunity to socialize with friends that you don ' t often get to see. Nickie Denick Sophomore It ' s a great way for the University to get ev- erybody together. It ' s convenient, the loca- tion is ideal, the beer is cheap and everyone in the world is there. John Lawes Freshman TGIF is the one place you can go to see friends from the past, and end up talking to them for the longest time, amidst the revelry and easy atmosphere of a Friday afternoon. Besides, the cutest puppies are always out there. Menge Crawford Senior Following in his father ' s footsteps, Curt Hopkins, Jr. entertains the crowd during the TGIF intermis- 27

TGIF: get the weekend started off right Taking a break from classes, Tom Code and Ramon Vinos enjoy listening to the band Dogm Boogm. They were sick of it all. The conditions were deplorable and it was definitely time to take action. It had simply gone too far, the studing all week long, no one to talk to ex- cept a stack of books to the left, stupid ques- tions, nagging teachers, and homework. It was decided that a large force is the best plan of action, so they marched en masse to the quad. A riot? No, merely another TGIF on the quad — a tradition on every other Friday put on by TUCP Recreation. After what Tulane students probably con- sider an horrendous week of school, they want time to wind down, take it easy, and get in touch with a few friends whom they haven ' t seen for at least a day or two. TGIF provides any and everything needed for a relaxing atmosphere: beer, music, food, friends, and animals that make a great excuse for a pick-up. It ' s a time where students and faculty can take advantage of the other side of the academic world, a pleasure principle of sorts. TGIF is the hallmark for a great weekend filled with Greek parties, football games, and late nights at Fat ' s. • — Menge Crawford :ii 26 TGIF

Where can I get an elevator key? The question was asked in jest by French professors imitating students. French Theatre Comes Alive Le premier jour do Noel mon vrai amour a donne moi ... these words and many others were acted out by students enrolled in the 200 level French classes at the end of the fall semester. In previous semesters, many French classes had wine and cheese parties on the first Friday of each month, however, the tradition has not been contin- ued. Students in Professor Megan Conway ' s 203 class inquired about a possible party to be held during the final weeks of class. Con- way took the idea to the head of the depart- ment. Professor Beth Poe, who suggested that they turn it into an extra credit assign- ment involving all twelve sections on the 200 level. One requirement of 203 is listening to a tape of the French mystery Chemins Dan- gereux and then answering questions. In Conway ' s section, students often acted out scenes from the tape. Some of the skits at the party were the students re-enacting their Chemins Dangereux excerpts. If the stu- dents chose not to portray the Chemins Dangereux characters, they were allowed to come up with their own alternatives for entertainment with only one stipulation: all conversation must be in French with no Eng- lish uttered. Some other skits involved girls putting on a fashion show, guys singing the popular Christmas song The Twelve days of Christ- mas andaspoof of aFrench advertisement. However the talent was not limited to only the students. Faculty members got together and put on a skit highlighting humorous ex- periences they have had with former stu- dents. The event was a tremendous success, with almost 170 people in attendance and many hope that the tradition will continue in years to come. • — Nickie Denick K, , ■ WW :■-:-■- V-C ■..;-« ' ' ' ' °l«Bn fl ii 1 t( - - 1 K ' ; ' L Jf r ' l jm wzZ. lk sN J Hc ' ir., ■ ' 3 IfT H H ■tf ' i p t lsJk r • ' w , H B 1 v - ' , H ■ ■ ' -« S V B r MB ■ i H W fa ■n -1 r Cathy Watts receives extra credit for her participa- tion in a puppet show which demonstrates action from a chapter in Chemins Dangereux.
