CRESCENT CITY CLASSICS
Over the years, a wide variety of people have called
New Orleans home - musicians, artists, athletes, politicans,
chefs and more. Here is a small sample of the world-famous
individuals who were born in the Big Easy, live here, or lived

Reknowned as the “birthplace of jazz,” nearly every kind of

The 16,000-square-foot gallery is divided into four, state-of-the-art, interactive exhibits on World War II that intermix oral histories from veterans worldwide, artifacts,
documents and photographs with hands-on activities and never-before seen film

The New Orleans sports scene features a pair of major league franchises in the
NBA’s Hornets and the NFL’s Saints, plus the New Orleans Zephyrs, the triple A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, as well as a plethora of collegiate activities. The
city plays host to more major sporting events than perhaps any other city in the world
with nine Super Bowls in New Orleans, (including three on the Tulane campus), four NCAA Men’s Final Fours and two regional finals, as well as two
women’s Final Fours. The Superdome was the site of the 2003 Men’s Final Four, while the 2004 Women’s Final Four took place in the New Orleans
Sports Arena. Don’t forget the unmatched saltwater and freshwater fishing and outdoor pursuits that have earned the state the
nickname “Sportsman’s Paradise.”
From the French Quarter to the Superdome, Six Flags New Orleans to the National D-Day Museum, Mardi
Gras to Jazzfest, there’s always something going on in the Crescent City. With so much going for it, it is
no wonder that residents say, “New Orleans, Proud to Call it Home!”

Located in uptown New Orleans, Tulane University’s compact campus features
plenty of open spaces, greenery and park-like settings.
Tulane University, a member of the
prestigious Association of American Universities, is a leading private research institution
located in the heart of New Orleans. Framed
by ancient oaks and blooming azaleas,
century-old buildings stand next to newlyconstructed halls, defining the beautiful
110-acre campus.
Founded in 1834, Tulane is
home to 11 schools and colleges
offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees in
architecture, business, engineering, law, liberal arts and sciences,
medicine, public health and tropical medicine, and social work.
The university was created in
1834 as the Medical College
of Louisiana in response to the
many epidemics that devastated
the region’s population. It merged
with the public University of Louisiana in 1847 but was beset with
financial troubles, which were
resolved in the early 1880s by
merchant Paul Tulane. The Louisiana legislature responded to
the gift by ceding the University
of Louisiana to the fund’s administrators, and Tulane University of
Louisiana was born.

Tulane
Athletics
Elite and Complete - A Model Program
From the courts to the course, from the track to
the pool, on the gridiron and the diamond, studentathletes once again brought distinction to Tulane
University in 2004-05. With six Conference USA
Championships, seven NCAA Regional and four
NCAA Championship appearances, Tulane Athletics
continues to scale new heights on the fields of
play while proving that there is a home for the true
“student-athlete” in Division I college athletics.
Tulane teams combined for perhaps the best
spring in Green Wave history with four titles. In a
single week in April, the men’s and women’s tennis
and women’s golf teams each defended their CUSA crowns. The Tulane tennis teams each won
the league for the third straight year while women’s
golf made it back-to-back championships.
The Green Wave tennis programs have made
a place for themselves among the nation’s elite.
Robert Klein’s men’s team, winners of three straight
and four of the last five conference championships,
made its ninth straight NCAA appearance in 2005
while again maintaining a Top 25 ranking throughout
the season. On the women’s side, Tulane won its
regional for the second straight year to advance to
the NCAA “Sweet 16,” and David Schumacher’s
team has made three consecutive NCAA appearances while achieving the highest team ranking in
school history. Also achieving “elite” status is the
Tulane women’s golf team, which spent most of the
season ranked in the nation’s Top 15 and backed up
that ranking with a 15th-place national finish after
qualifying for its first NCAA National Championship.
But by far the top on-the-field performance of
the 2004-05 academic year, was turned in by the
College World Series participant Tulane Baseball
team. Named the preseason No. 1 team by Baseball America magazine, the Green Wave backed up
its ranking by winning the C-USA regular season
and tournament championships, claiming victory in
the NCAA New Orleans Regional and then advancing to Omaha for the second time in school history
with a three-game Super Regional win over Rice.
Tulane was ranked No. 1 for all but three weeks of
the regular season and earned the No. 1 national
seed entering NCAA postseason play.
The continued excellence of the Tulane
baseball and tennis programs was shown in their
dominance of the Conference USA “All-Decade
Teams,” selected for each sport to mark C-USA’s
10th anniversary. In all, Green Wave student-athletes claimed 26 All-Decade honors on 13 different
teams, while coaches Robert Klein (men’s tennis),
Rick Jones, (baseball) and David Schumacher
(women’s tennis) were named the league’s Coach
of the Decade in their respective sports. Tulane also
claimed five C-USA Players of the Decade, including five-time All-American and 2004 NCAA Singles
runner-up Michael Kogan representing men’s tennis.
In all, Tulane student-athletes claimed 52 allconference honors in 2004-05, with Micah Owings
(baseball) and Alison Walshe (women’s golf) named
the league’s Athlete of the Year in their respective
sports. Owings, first-round draft choice Brian Bogusevic, and Walshe all earned All-America honors
while baseball’s Brad Emaus was a Freshman
All-American.
When not excelling on the field, Tulane studentathletes were putting up big numbers in the classroom. The Wave’s more than 320 student-athletes
posted a cumulative GPA of 3.0 again last spring,
reaching that mark for the fourth time in the last
five semesters. In the APR, designed by the
NCAA to assess the academic performance
of individual teams and schools, Tulane’s
overall mark of 968 (out
of a perfect score
of 1,000) ranks
second among
Conference USA
schools with all
15 Green Wave
teams safely
achieving the 925

Traditions
History of the “Green Wave”
One of the most unique nicknames in college athletics
came about almost by accident. Although Tulane began playing intercollegiate football in 1893, from that time to 1919, the
school’s athletic teams were known as the Olive and Blue.
In 1919, the Tulane Weekly, one of Tulane’s many student
newspapers at the time, began calling the football team the
Greenbacks.
The “Greenie” was adopted in 1955. It was created by John
Chase, a local cartoonist who drew the
covers of the Tulane

Tulane Cheers
Tulane unveiled a new family of marks in August 1998.
The new logos feature the use of a “T” with a modern “wave”
as a primary mark. A new pelican mascot was introduced and
given the name Riptide by a vote of Tulane students.
In addition to the Fight Song, Tulane has what can arguably
be called the most unique cheer in college athletics - “The
Hullabaloo”. With its origins traced back to the 1800’s, “The
Hullabaloo” is a crowd favorite that can be heard after every
Tulane score.
In 2003, a group of Tulane students and supporters formed
the school’s first marching band in
many years. This volunteer
group has now given way to
a new, university-supported
marching band. The band
is expected to greatly
enhance the game-day
atmosphere
and experience, joining
with the Tulane cheerleaders and
dance team,
“Shock Wave”
to lead the crowd while
exhibiting plenty of Green

Riptide underwent a makeover recently, which
was unveiled to fans at a baseball game in the
spring of 2005.

Fogelman Arena
Historic Venue Enters 73rd Year as Home of the Wave
Avron B. Fogelman Arena, one of the most historic facilities in college
basketball, celebrates its 73rd year as the home of Green Wave basketball. The
2005-06 season will be the facility’s fifth since receiving a brand new floor and an
air conditioning system.
Construction for the original facility was funded by the Green Wave football
team’s appearance in the 1932 Rose Bowl. Some $80,000 was earmarked
toward the building of a gymnasium. In fact, the facility was unofficially referred
to as “Rose Bowl Gym” in its early days.
Less than two years later, on Oct. 27, 1933, Tulane Gymnasium was
dedicated as part of Homecoming festivities on campus, and play began in the
facility for the 1933-34 season. Tulane defeated Southwestern Louisiana, 38-34,
in the facility’s first game on Dec. 15, 1933.
Tulane Gym was one of the largest in college basketball when it opened
nearly 70 years ago, even though there were no court level seats at first (Floorlevel seats were added in 1948). Tulane hosted the 1942 NCAA East Regional in
the facility.
The Green Wave men’s and women’s basketball teams played all of their
home games in the facility until the mid-1970s, when a select number of men’s
games were moved to the Louisiana Superdome, while some women’s games
were played in the Ponchartrain Center. In 1981, the gym underwent its first
facelift, which included new lighting and a lowered ceiling, and was renamed

Tulane Arena. The Wave moved all of its home games back on campus again in
1981-82.
In 1982, the arena was the site of the National Association of Basketball
Coaches All-Star Game in conjunction with Tulane’s hosting of the Final Four.
Tulane hosted the event again in 1993, along with the three-point and slam dunk
competitions.
The arena is named for Memphis, Tenn., businessman and Tulane alumnus
Avron B. Fogelman, who was one of the key figures in giving the Green Wave a
new-look home back in the late 1980s.
Fogelman Arena stands in the same frame and has much the same outside
appearance as old Tulane Arena, but that’s where the similarities end. The inside
of the arena underwent a major facelift, from all-new seating to a reconditioned
playing floor and improved locker rooms to a new scoreboard.
Fogelman Arena has been home to several championship events over the
course of its storied history. The building served as the host of the Louisiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (LAIAW) Tournament during the
women’s basketball team’s first year in 1976, as well as the Metro Conference
Women’s Tournament in 1981. Beginning with the 1989-90 season, the women’s
basketball team has hosted an annual tournament in Fogelman Arena. Originally
called the Lady Green Wave Classic, the event, since renamed as the Tulane/
DoubleTree Classic, annually attracts some of the nation’s top basketball teams.
Fogelman Arena has also played host to the 1999 Conference USA
Women’s Basketball Tournament, an event which showcased the league’s 12
women’s basketball teams - five of which would go on to post-season play. Host
Tulane turned in a convincing 58-44 win over top-seed Cincinnati in front of a
raucous hometown crowd of 3,069 to claim its second Conference USA Tournament crown in three seasons. The attendance set a Conference USA Tournament single-game attendance record, while the event as a whole set C-USA
Tournament total attendance records.
In 2004, historic Fogelman was the site of the Women’s Basketball Association All-Star Game which featured the top high school players in the nation
competing against the United States Olympic Team, which went on to win the
Gold Medal at the Athens Olympics.

New Orleans Arena
The Site of the 2004 NCAA Women’s Final Four
With a design that signifies the balance and energy of the Crescent
City, the New Orleans Arena has become an architectural and entertainment
highlight of the New Orleans and Louisiana community.
The state-of-the-art arena has served as host to select Tulane men’s
and women’s basketball games, and since 2002-03, it has been the home
of the NBA’s Hornets, who play a 43-game home schedule in the building.
It has also been the home arena for minor league hockey in past years.
The Arena became the center of the women’s basketball world when it
played host to the 2004 NCAA Women’s Final Four. Sellout crowds watched
Tennessee, Connecticut, LSU and Minnesota battle in New Orleans before
a national television audience.
Located on a 13-acre site in the heart of the Central Business District
adjacent to the Louisiana Superdome, the New Orleans Arena offers the
city and surrounding community a sports and entertainment venue second
to none. The arena provides 17,200 seats for basketball games, 17,232 for
hockey and 19,332 for theater-in-the-round events.
This state-of-the-art facility encompasses nearly 660,000 square feet
on five levels. The arena floor itself covers 24,650 square feet. In addition
to the floor level and general seating levels (100 Level and 300 Level), the
New Orleans Arena features a Club Seating area and the Executive Suite
level.
The arena features 56 executive suites, with each suite having 12-18
theater-style seats, a private parlor with a wet bar, TV monitor and buffet-style
set-ups. Executive suites are located just 22 rows from the arena floor. Suite
amenities also include membership to the exclusive Arena Club Lounge, a
private concourse, access to a business facility and concierge service. The
suite level also contains a super suite which can accommodate 144 seated
guests.
The 2,800 club seats are located in the center sections of the lower
bowl. Amenities include oversized, cushioned seats with cup holders, excellent access to Club Lounges and purchasing options for all Arena events.
Locker room space is not a problem at the New Orleans Arena as
the facility boasts four NBA-caliber locker rooms and six additional dressing/staging rooms, all in close proximity to the playing surface.
Superdome parking facilities provide streamlined access to the facility.
There are 5,000 spaces available in the Superdome parking garages, and
approximately 10,000 spaces located within easy walking distance.
Full catering and concession services are available in-house. The
building is also serviced by six escalators and four elevators to enhance
fan convenience.
Media can take advantage of permanent camera locations, courtside
seating, a working press area and a press dining area, provisions for uplink
to satellite vans and state-of-the-art TV broadcast facilities.
In addition to the Women’s Final Four, the facility hosted the 2002
NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship and will be the site of NCAA Men’s
Basketball First and Second Round competition in 2006. In addition, the
New Orleans Voodoo Arena Football League team began play in 2004 in
the facility.
Approved by the Louisiana Legislature in 1993, the building was
designed by Arthur Q. Davis, FAIA & Partners Architects (Davis’ former
firm, Curtis & Davis, designed the Superdome). The facility is managed by
SMG.

Regionals in 2003 and 2005. Turchin Stadium played host to the 2001
and 2005 New Orleans NCAA Baseball Regional and has hosted three
conference baseball championships, most recently the 2003 C-USA Tournament.
In the center of the Tulane campus is Fogelman Arena (see page
98), home of the Green Wave men’s and women’s basketball and
volleyball teams. In 2001, Fogelman underwent a facelift as the entire
arena received a new coat of paint, the floor was redesigned, and, for
the first time, air conditioning was installed in the arena.
The volleyball and basketball teams all practice and play the
majority of their home games in Fogelman, but all three squads play
select games in the New Orleans Arena, located a short five-mile
drive from campus. The New Orleans Arena, which opened in 1999,
serves as home of the NBA’s New Orlenas Hornets. Tulane served
as host institution for the 2004 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four
in the Arena.
Tulane’s newest team, women’s swimming and diving, has a
top-notch facility located adjacent to the Westfeldt Facility in the Reily
Student Recreation Center. The 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic sized
pool underwent an overhaul last summer in preparation for the swim

Home of Tulane Athletics for 15 years, the James W. Wilson Jr.
Center for Intercollegiate Athletics is a central location and gathering place
for the Green Wave’s more than 320 student-athletes.
A $7.2 million facility, the Wilson Center opened in 1990 and houses
the main training room, weight room, equipment room, locker and meeting rooms and academic support area. The Wilson Center also houses
offices for each Tulane coach, as well as the Athletics Ticket Office and
Gift Shop. All of Tulane Athletics’ administrative offices are located in the
Wilson Center as well.
Two centerpieces of the Wilson Center are the Henry Frnka Weight
Room and the Bubba Porche Training Room, both located on the first
floor along with the Student Services Area and the Gift Shop and Ticket
Office.
The Wilson Center also features Ben Weiner Hall, which showcases
the success of all Green Wave teams, past and present. Dedicated in
November 2001, Weiner Hall features trophies, game balls and medals of
teams and players of the 16 varsity teams Tulane currently fields as well
as programs of the past.
Directly behind the Wilson Center is the George G. “Sunny” Westfeldt
Practice and Competition Facility which is used by the women’s soccer,
track and field and football teams for competition (soccer) and practice
(track and field, football).
The facility, which includes the Danny Thiel Track and the Barney
Mintz Auxiliary Field, is fully lit with a grandstand which comfortably seats
1,200 fans. Thiel Track has hosted a number of quality track meets featuring
teams from around the Gulf South, and Mintz Field provides Green Wave
teams an 80-yard, astroplay surface on which to practice.
Other components of the McWilliams Complex are Turchin Stadium
and the Theresa Sofio Hitting Facility, home of the Green Wave baseball
team, the Veron Short Game Facility and Goldring Tennis Complex, which
features six state-of-the-art, lighted tennis courts.
Turchin Stadium is in the midst of its first major renovation since its
construction in 1990. The changes will increase seating capacity to almost
5,000 seats while adding many amenities, including a new press box and
Women’s Tennis Championships.

Student
Services
Committed to Serving the Needs of Student-Athletes
The athletic department of Tulane University is committed to serving the
academic and athletic needs of all student-athletes. The primary objective of
the Office of Student-Athlete Support Services is to assist student-athletes in
their efforts to complete their degree requirements and to develop the skills
necessary to be productive citizens.
The academic counselors within the Office of Student-Athlete Support
Services assist student-athletes in their pursuit of an undergraduate degree
through the development and evaluation of their academic plans based upon
educational and career objectives. Furthermore, the office assists studentathletes in the clarification of their life and career goals. The academic staff
extends a caring, committed effort in helping students’ intellectual, cultural,
physical and social development.
Academic Advising Center
The Office of Student-Athlete Support Services is located on the first
floor of the James W. Wilson Jr. Center. The suite houses a recently-upgraded computer lab, the offices of the athletic academic counselors, and a quiet
study area. The computer lab consists of 18 computers with several software
programs, Internet access, and e-mail capabilities. The study area allows
student-athletes to study in a quiet and controlled environment.
Academic Counseling
Advising Tulane student-athletes during their pursuit of an undergraduate
degree is the single most important function of the Office of Student-Athlete
Support Services. The approach that the staff uses to counsel student-athletes involves the collaborative efforts of student-athletes, department and
college advisors, and the counselors of the Student-Athlete Support Services
unit. Together, this group develops a unique plan of action for every Tulane
student-athlete, tailored to the needs and interests of each individual.
Each varsity sport at Tulane is assigned an academic counselor.
Counselors understand the mission of Tulane University and the academic policies and philosophies that govern the University. The academic
counselors are able to provide accurate knowledge of university and college
degree requirements, as well as NCAA degree requirements. This includes
an understanding of university and department academic courses, professor
assignments, course content, and prerequisites for academic degrees.
Tulane’s athletic academic counselors also possess one-one-one counseling skills. Student-athletes feel free to discuss their academic interests,
personal needs, and crisis situations with their counselors. If referrals to
specialists are needed, Tulane’s athletics department works closely with
various on-campus counseling organizations
that provide professional, confidential
counseling.
Academic counselors meet with student-athletes from their
assigned teams on a regular basis.
98
Tutorial Program
The tutorial program for studentathletes at Tulane is one of the most
comprehensive in Conference USA. The
program is designed to supplement the
knowledge gained in the classroom, with
direct one-on-one interaction with a tutor.
Only the most qualified tutors are hired to
work with Tulane student-athletes, and any
scholarship athlete can request a tutor for
any course.
CHAMPS/Life Skills
Student-athletes are presented with
many challenges in balancing academics
and athletics at the Division I level. To
meet these challenges, the NCAA has developed the CHAMPS/Life Skills program
to assist universities with the preparation
of their student-athletes for life beyond collegiate athletics. The CHAMPS/Life Skills
program helps bridge the gap between
participating in intercollegiate athletics and
experiencing campus life.
Student-Athlete Advisory Council
The Student-Athlete Advisory Council
(SAAC) is designed to help team members
from all sports face the challenge of being
a student-athlete at Tulane University and
to represent the students’ concerns to the
athletic director and athletics administration. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council
consists of representatives from each
varsity sport who serve as liaisons to the
athletic department and to their teams.
The group meets monthly to discuss
community service projects, campus
outreach programs, and issues faced by
Tulane University student-athletes on a
daily basis. Examples of these programs
are coordinating the National Student-Athlete Celebration, planning the Varsity Ball,
Tulane’s All-Sports Awards Banquet, and
organizing donation projects.
During the year, student-athletes visit
children in local hospitals, work camps
for underprivileged youths and speak at
elementary and middle schools. One of
the most popular community service efforts
is the annual “Shadow A Student-Athlete
Day,” where students from nearby Lafayette Elementary School are paired with
Tulane student-athletes to learn what it is
like to play an intercollegiate sport.
