When it comes to Tulane baseball, winning is a way of life, especially at home in the increasingly hostile Turchin Field.
After all, it’s never easy for a visiting team to win on the road against a top-ranked team, much less in a place where alumni chant the “Hullabaloo” at the top of their lungs after every […]

There was joy Uptown when men’s basketball coach Shawn Finney got the boot Sunday. Finally, after five long seasons, Tulane basketball will get a fresh start.

I noticed the beautiful dark wood of the enormous reception desk, the cozy chairs in the waiting room and the cool silence of a luxurious professional space. Everything […]

Dear editor,
You say murder is wrong and yet, in the same breath, claim that execution is right. You deride the arbitrariness of 18 as the age of maturity and yet disregard the arbitrariness of the death penalty. You find murder committed by one man wrong and yet embrace murder committed by an entire state. To paraphrase […]

Dear editor,
I was disappointed to learn of Evan Sparks' Feb. 25 letter to the editor regarding notification of Undergraduate Student Government elections.
Sparks took it upon himself to ascribe his dissatisfactions to specific students instead of recognizing the scope and complexity of a problem for which no one person or group can be held accountable. Sparks negates his […]
