After ruling out a replacement building for financial reasons, Tulane decided to replace the Anthropology Building with a parking lot.

Though the Federal Emergency Agency offered to pay to repair the Anthropology Building, the amount of damage to the building warranted an entirely new building in its place, said Rick Jones, senior associate vice president of […]

The second of three plays put on by the department of theater and dance this fall, “Dead Man’s Cell Phone” by Sarah Ruhl is doleful but still quirky and funny.

The 20th Annual New Orleans Film Festival featured locally shot “Welcome to Academia,” a bold film that reveals the behind-the-scenes drama and politics at a fictitious Ivy League school.

Tulane’s Musical Theatre Workshop presented Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s “Little Shop of Horrors” — a rock musical complete with big-haired bee-bop guys, she-bop gals, a sadistic dentist and a man-eating plant — just in time for Halloween.

After this week’s 45-0 thrashing at the hands of LSU, it’s easy to be critical. It’s important, however, to remember that Tulane’s football team is not made up of professional athletes.

This includes […]

“We got in the locker room, and it was wild. It was wild. That’s all I can tell you. It was uncontrollable, which was great.”
If I told you that quotation was from Washington Head Coach Steve Sarkisian’s comment after beating No. 3-ranked USC, it would make sense. How about South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier after upsetting No. […]

The Green Wave needed a jump-start for their stalling offense, and they got one from senior running back André Anderson and senior wide receiver Jeremy Williams against McNeese State.

The tension between the teams became palpable during the high-intensity match.  Even Rice’s mascot, “Sammy the Owl” was ejected in the second half.   Nevertheless, the Green Wave was able to rise above […]

I’m a Tulane transfer.
I came from a small liberal arts college in the Massachusetts Berkshires, a place where pretentiousness, anti-social behavior and overt weirdness were not only accepted but encouraged. There were 300 people in the entire student body, and we all fancied ourselves budding young geniuses, we liked to spend our Saturdays discussing long-dead […]

While Harry is a little removed from the goings on of the real world, he occasionally has lapses of sobriety in between handles of Jack. During one such recent lapse, Harry (read: TUPD) found himself fully clothed (see: buck-ass nekkid) near the art building in the small art display area tucked in between the Newcomb […]
