Joan Niesen notes her connection to Tulane in the intro that explains Tulane's mascot history but then only gives Angry Wave Honorable mention. Enjoy!

I remember a fraternity brother named Tom Niesen from St. Louis; since she went to school at Missouri, Columbia, I would guess she could be his daughter. If so, she also had other family, including two aunts who also attended in the late 70's.
