The Tulane Hullabaloo is the weekly student-run newspaper of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is published every Friday of the academic year, except on holidays. The paper has received the Pacemaker Award, the highest award in college journalism.

The first issue of the Hullabaloo was published in 1919. The weekly/Friday publication of each edition is celebrated by the popular shirts worn by staff members, reading "We put out on Fridays".

The university's mascot and nickname, the Green Wave, owes its origins to a song published in the Hullabaloo in October 1920. The paper's editor at the time, Earl Sparling, wrote and published a football song called "The Rolling Green Wave" in support of the "Olive and Blue" (as the team was officially known at the time). Within a month, the Hullabaloo started referring to the university's teams by the new nickname, a practice that was soon picked up by the daily press.
