As a result of the elimination of the program, two instructors were dismissed Majoring in business of music will no longer be an option offered by Loyola, because the program is being discontinued. The discontinuance was recommended by the College of Business. Representatives from the College of Business were unavailable for comment. In a memorandum. Dr. William Locander, the dean of the College of Business, he explained that their recommendation was due to the program's coordination issues, budget constraints, and accreditation issues that could arise during the next visit of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The Standing Council for Academic Planning approved the discontinuance on Tuesday Nov. 16. According to John Snyder, professor and chair of music industry studies, the program was initially created with the purpose of increasing enrollment in the College of Business, and it became a major after Hurricane Katrina. "That major had no music and no technology, it was only business. It was an enrollment accommodation to increase students in the College of Business," Snyder said. The program will no longer be offered to incoming freshmen or any other students at Loyola, but students already in the program will have the option of completing it. Students who choose not to continue with this program will be encouraged to switch to a bachelor of science in music industry studies, or to a major in a business area with Photo Illustration by Craig Malveaux/ News Editor Biology professor's attempt at plastic-free campus at standstill By ERIN CLEMENTS Contributing Writer For the past two and half years, biology professor Kathy Anzelmo has been petitioning for Loyola to be a plasticfree campus.

"What's ideal would be to go back to aluminum because that's much more recyclable than plastic." Though she believes that the best thing would really be for students to just stop drinking sugary drinks altogether, but she's not trying to be mom to the world. "The first petition I did was on April 1, 2008," Anzelmo said.
