	Appreciation to those who offer help to new students Dear folks, We have a lot of new coming students and scholors join us these days. Welcome them to Tulane and wish all of you have nice experience here. Thanks to the teachers, scholors and senior students, new students have got a lot help from them. For example, many teachers and students spared their time going to the airport to pick up new students.Here we would like to thank a lot of our friends: Prof. David Yang, Prof. Yuefeng Han, Mr. Xiaodong Zhang, Si Feng and Yingying Wang, Cheng Mi, Nan Zhang, Yejia Li, Yongxiang Li,Tijiang Liu, Yuan Xiang, Wei Shen, Xiaozhu Chu, Zhiye Li, Qing Lv, Matt Degier, Li Kuang, Jun Yan and other warm-hearted friends who are not in the list. Some of them have been to the airport for three or four times to pick up new students because there are much more new students this year than last year. Most of the flights to New Orleans were in midnight and some of them were delayed. Those who went to the airport also ran into different kinds of risk. A lot of thanks to them. It is impossible for TCSSA committee itself to finish this job even it is not perfect(some new students have to come from airport by cabs) and there are still a lot of work needed to help new students to adapt the new life here. Thanks to all the warmhearted people who offer their help. Wish our community become more and more harmonic.:) TCSSA Committee Back to top

	Chinese New Year Party Dear Friends, On Feb. 17, Tulane Chinese Students & Scholars Association will have a big party for the Chinese New Year. The following is the schedule and location information for this event. ============================================= Feb. 17, Saturday 5:00 pm Banquet Starts 6:00 pm show time ( performances, games, chou jiang, and dance ) 9:00 pm Party ends location : Cram Lecture Hall@University Center ============================================= CALL FOR PERFORMANCE We are still calling for programs, shows, or any kind of performance. You don't have to be a perfect performer, as long as you are confident with your show and willing to share it with people, then just show it! I believe everybody will appreciate it, enjoy it and remember you. Also, we recently got a KaraOK machine, which has a few thousands of songs, therefore, if you want to sing some songs on the party, please let us know the names of your songs first, so that we could look them up to make sure they are on the list, unless you can sing any of them. Again, any performer will get a Fortune Envelope !!! 　 CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS To make this party better, we need a few volunteers to help us out. If you are willing to help, please contact us asap. Thanks. Li Zhiye Back to top

	Now we have a BBS for us to water with! Due to the technical limit by Tulane web services, we use a free Chinese forum. So there must be some inconvenience or even bugs here or there. Please be patient when the system is not stable. Just keeping in mind that we didn't pay anything for using it. Now the bbs is test running. Unfortunately I found that it doesn't work well with firefox 1.X. It seems we have to use IE as the web browser. I have tested both simplified and traditional Chinese input, all working fine. Enjoy!

	How to get to the fly? To get to the fly, just drive into the Zoo's parking lot and heard toward the back right corner. You'll notice a small road that takes you over some train tracks. Once you cross the tracks you'll notice kites flying, people sunbathing and everyone having a great time. (from http://cityguide.aol.com) Google satellite map:

On October 6, we are going to have a BBQ party at the FLY -- beautiful bank of the Mississippi river. There will be food(of course), MOON CAKE, games, music, etc..

(If you have class in that evening, it doesn't matter, just come after your class is finished. ) 2, address (where the hell is that place?) FLY is the name of a park on the mississippi river's bank. It locates right behind(or next to) the Audubon Zoo. It's like 5 minutes' drive from School. We will post a detailed map with a clear route on TCSSA's website shortly.

You will definitely like it. 3, Sign up Everybody who wants to come to the party, please send email to Zhiye Li as soon as possible with your name, phone number, and transportation status (please emphasize if you need ride or not, and if you have a car, would you like to offer ride to others?), please BE SURE to mention this, because we will arrange ride sharing base on this information.

Each group will be offered BBQ materials, including meat(beaf, pork, chicken), fish, shrimp, potato, etc., and tools like BBQ grill, carbon, one time plates and so for.
