By Harbinger Harry | Aug 27th, 2010 | Category: August 27th Print edition, Issues, Views

Ah, first week of classes down. Harry knows how y’all are feeling — like you’re still gonna get A’s in everything, like Literary Investigations still could be really interesting and not time consuming at all, like that really really sexy girl in your class may still go for you, like you really will be able […]



Changed but the same

By Brianna Smith | Aug 27th, 2010 | Category: August 27th Print edition, Issues, Views

The freshmen parents have said their goodbyes and left campus, the bookstore line for textbooks grows longer every minute, and every student is rushing to make sure they know where their first classes of the fall semester are located. All of a sudden I hear those three little words: “You’re… a… senior.”
I tell myself to […]



Stay golden

“Party Tip: There is absolutely no reason why today can’t be the greatest day we’ve ever had.” – Andrew W.K.
Andrew W.K. as a musician is easy to explain. He writes mostly silly heavy rock anthems — hilarious ditties with titles like “Party Hard,” “It’s Time To Party” and “Party Til You Puke” — aimed to […]



Another look at the Cordoba Mosque

By Matt Slattery | Aug 27th, 2010 | Category: August 27th Print edition, Issues, Views

Everyone reading this article should understand that America is a place where religion can be practiced freely. The framers of the Constitution understood religion to be a powerful force, so they asserted that the government had no right to impose restrictions on its practice. Muslims have the right to practice their faith freely in our […]



TUPD, talk to us

THE HULL THINKS ... TUPD should help us help ourselves be safe.
By Tulane Hullabaloo | Aug 27th, 2010 | Category: August 27th Print edition, Issues, Views

After a Tulane student walking into her house was sexually assaulted Aug. 22, the Tulane University Police Department issued a crime alert e-mail to the Tulane community. The crime alert, however, failed to specify the precise location of the sexual assault.

Around this time five years ago, students flooded in from all around the world for the start of a new semester. Some came for the first time, anxious, nervous and excited for what awaited them.

Tulane’s ranking dilemma

By Jude Chatto | Aug 27th, 2010 | Category: August 27th Print edition, Featured Articles, Issues, Views

One of the first things I did when I started looking into colleges was check out the U.S. News college rankings. I compared all the colleges I was considering and even sent applications to random colleges just because they were close to the rankings of my favorite schools.

When it came time to decide which school […]

It is their right, but they are wrong

By Jared Sichel | Aug 20th, 2010 | Category: August 20th Print Edition, Issues, Views

Despite most Americans’ opposition to the Cordoba Initiative’s construction of a 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center two blocks from Ground Zero, the New York Times editorial board and Newsweek editor Fareed Zakaria claim that such opposition is rooted in bigotry. In fact, resistance to Cordoba’s decision is based on norms of decency and compassion […]



Still not regretting a thing

By Jude Chatto | Aug 20th, 2010 | Category: August 20th Print Edition, Issues, Views

I have the worst buyer’s regret. It takes me forever to make decisions because I’m so afraid of making all the wrong ones. Steak or chicken? The red shirt or the blue one? Another biology class or a social science? One time I stood in the office supply aisle of Walmart for 30 minutes trying […]

As the school year begins and I settle into yet another new home, I realize that the majority of Tulane students are coming from different states or countries.

Ask anyone about New Orleans and the conversation will undoubtedly turn to food. With famous restaurants and delicious cuisine on every corner, how can the culture not revolve around eating? Just about everyone you meet will recommend a different place that you “must try” while living in New Orleans, and after my three days on […]

To eat, or not to eat

By Jonathan Estuart | Aug 20th, 2010 | Category: August 20th Print Edition, Featured Articles, Issues, Views

It’s that time of year again. Parents invade our humble homes, help us get our dorms the cleanest they will probably ever be, constantly fret over our safety and well-being and — perhaps most importantly — fund our indulgences into New Orleans’ supreme cuisine. The New Orleans restaurant-to-parental-love barometer (Commander’s being the paragon of pure […]
