Cardboard Cutout Analysis

By Jeff Silberman | Mar 5th, 2010 | Category: Issues, March 5th Print Edition, Views

The Hullabaloo ran an article last week claiming that Tulane’s Army ROTC program used cardboard cutouts of men who appeared to be Muslim for target practice. The Tulane Muslim Students Association and other students reported that they were offended by the exercise and then, feeling slandered, members of the AROTC program reported that they were […]



Workers and Students Unite!

By Shawn Riley | Mar 5th, 2010 | Category: Featured Articles, Issues, Views

Back in October, when I decided to write my first article about the treatment of Sodexo and UNICCO workers at Tulane, never would I have thought that organizing efforts would begin this year. With that being said, I cannot tell you how happy I am to be wrong — and believe me that’s a first.
Now that […]



On College ACB

By Jude Chatto | Mar 5th, 2010 | Category: Issues, March 5th Print Edition, Views

I hadn’t heard of College ACB until I read about its possible ban by Technology Services in last week’s issue of the Hullabaloo. The first thing I did (of course) was check out this scandalous Web site. While my browser loaded, I had a preconceived notion that I was going to be anti-banning. I was […]



Rules for Radicals

hullThinks: Smashing windows is a pretty bad idea.
By Tulane Hullabaloo | Mar 5th, 2010 | Category: Issues, March 5th Print Edition, Views

March 4 was a “Day of Action” for students at universities across the nation. Protestors burned dumpsters at Berkeley, hurled ice chunks at Wisconsin-Milwaukee and smashed car windows in Santa Barbara. At Tulane University, students could have cared less.
And The Hullabaloo is proud.
While other universities confused political passion for juvenile angst, students at Tulane (and Loyola) understood […]



Study Abroad Failures

hullThinks: The study abroad office needs some help.
By Tulane Hullabaloo | Mar 5th, 2010 | Category: Issues, March 5th Print Edition, Views

Tulanians often look forward to studying abroad from the moment they arrive on campus. Yet what begins as an exciting prospect often turns into a bureaucratic nightmare. Tulane students trying to study abroad face long lines, inconsistent communication and bad advice, not to mention difficulty figuring out what classes they need to take for their […]

Google wins again

By A.J. Balatico | Feb 26th, 2010 | Category: February 26th Print Edition, Issues, Views

People still have dial-up. Some probably still use AOL’s free trial CDs. Internet access is definitely not a “necessity,” and admittedly, dial-up is sufficient for casual browsing. But alternatives are out there. We have ways of wasting time much more efficiently. We also have ways of getting things done more efficiently.

Cost and speed are selling points; […]



A Mild Mardi Gras

By Jude Chatto | Feb 26th, 2010 | Category: February 26th Print Edition, Issues, Views

Before coming to Tulane, I imagined Mardi Gras as a single day of drunken boob-flashing for beads on Bourbon Street in the unbearably hot New Orleans humidity with jazz music playing in the background.
Well, there were beads. An incredible, unbelievable, ridiculous amount of beads.
Mardi Gras surprised me in a lot of ways. It’s not a one-day celebration […]



Continue to Hope

By Josh Forman | Feb 26th, 2010 | Category: February 26th Print Edition, Issues, Views

With the Saints winning the Super Bowl and an overwhelming majority of New Orleanians electing their next mayor, most would think there was enough to celebrate, but Mardi Gras was still a big hit, bringing in a record-breaking crowd. On Mardi Gras Day, the streets were filled with laughter and celebration. Several police officers with […]

Leave Tiger Alone!

By Jared Sichel | Feb 26th, 2010 | Category: Featured Articles, February 26th Print Edition, Issues, Views

In addition to live YouTube streaming, every major news outlet and the three major ESPN channels broke regular programming to watch Tiger Woods apologize to 400 million people for cheating on his wife. And seemingly everyone in the media except for New York Times columnist Ross Douthat presumed that Tiger Woods’ private sex life is […]

In regards to the “Fleshlight Sex Toy Review” (Feb. 19), I’ve sampled the Tenga Ultra Size Soft Tube Cup, which is meant to be a single-use sleeve. What a useless thing! I would give it a similar grade.

Palin’s Problems

By Zoe Clements | Feb 26th, 2010 | Category: February 26th Print Edition, Issues, Views

Tennessee, my home state, has many claims to fame, but Tennessee’s most recent undertaking — hosting the National Tea Party Convention — is easily one of the most important events to occur in the Volunteer State since its decision to secede from the Union.
On Feb. 4, hundreds of “conservative activists” — if this seems like an […]



Harbinger Harry – 02.26.2010

Harry’s heard that a few folks been missing these ramblings. Now Harry ain’t gonna say exactly where this was overheard — maybe it was a girly views editor who needed more column inches (and other inches, BOOSH) — but Harry’s real touched.
On an unrelated note, your mom was real touched last night. BOOSH again.
Now while y’all might […]



The Plight of our Workers

HullThinks: Sodexo worker deserve better.
By Tulane Hullabaloo | Feb 26th, 2010 | Category: February 26th Print Edition, Issues, Views

When management treats employees poorly, the natural response from employees is to band together for mutual support. Employees of Sodexo, the company contracted to provide food service to Tulane, are attempting to unionize in an attempt to ensure fair treatment. Tulane and Sodexo should support this effort to ensure fair treatment of employees, as the […]
