              THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 67, NO. 3 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 SEPTEMBER 9, 1988 Swanzy: Tulane may take over N.O. Symphony By Andrew Nolan Editor in Chief Tulane University may assume management of the New Orleans Symphony, said Dr. David Swanzy, dean of the College of Music and member of the transition team trying to revive the symphony. The Symphony Board shut down the organization in January because of a $3.5 million debt. The board hoped to have the symphony back in the concert hall by this fall, but a transition team's attempts to solve the problems have been frustrated. With a new season unlikely in the near future, symphony musicians are struggling financially to remain in New Orleans, according to two part-time instructors at Loyola. In an effort to aid the musicians, Loyola has decided to continue its offer of a semester's free tuition to symphony members this fall.

Dukakis disappoints Jackson faction By Robert Landry Assistant News Editor They wanted Jesse. As Michael Dukakis continues to court the conservative Democratic vote, many devoted Jackson followers are switching off their mimeograph machines, sitting down in comfortable chairs, opening cold beers and saying, without one tinge of remorse: "I told you n so. "I think, as the primaries showed, Dukakis and Jackson had some similarities," said Dennis Kalob, instructor of sociology and member of the Rainbow Coalition. "But now that Jackson is sort of off the scene, Dukakis is assuming that he will get all the Jackson people." "There is going to be a fight in the Democratic party at every level," said Ted Quant, director of the Institute of Human Relations' Urban Partners Program and Rainbow Coalition member. According to Quant, support for Jackson was strong enough to make his progressive wing of the Democratic Party a force to be reckoned with. The tensions evidenced at the Democratic National Convention were merely the initial stages of this fight, a sign that the Jackson faction will not quietly accede, Quant said. Under the auspices of the Rainbow Coalition, both Kalob and Quant actively campaigned for Jackson. "We had phone banking...and we organized some rallies...we sold buttons, gave profiles away, handed out literature," Kalob said. Kalob further explained that, although the Rainbow Coalition does not serve exclusively as an outlet for Jackson ideology, the coalition "acted as a campaign organization" while Jackson was still in the race. In addition, Kalob vied for a position as a convention delegate for Jackson. "It [the bid] was unsuccessful," Kalob said. And eventually, so was the candidate of his choice. What are the Jackson followers left with now? As far as Kalob and Quant are concerned, not much. "I think that [Dukakis has] already moved more toward the conservatives," Quant said. The Democratic strategy is to win SGA will phone new alums for funds By Tim Watson Staff writer Students will contact approximately 3,500 1986-88 Loyola graduates in a Student Government Association phonemail fundraising campaign, Jason Caniglia, SGA president, said Tuesday night. The SGA plans to raise $15,000 to supplement library acquisitions, financial aid and scholarships. Members of all chartered organizations will be asked to call during the Nov. 1-10 campaign. Caniglia said he has spoken with most student organization presidents, and said . all-have been entttrfsiasticv - The SGA campaign will immediately follow Phonorama, Alumni Affairs' annual telephone fundraiser. Phonorama, which runs from Oct. 3-28, solicits alumni, parents and friends of the university, said Eileen Chapoton, Annual Fund director. The Alumni Affairs Office will not call 1986-88 graduates during its program to ensure that those alumni are not called twice, said Caniglia. Caniglia said recent graduates are more familiar with Loyola's problems and more willing to support them. SGA's main goal in the campaign would be 100 percent participation from recent alumni, he said. "Regardless' of how many people do'* contribute, though, the campaign will be a success, he added. Graduates from 1986 and 1987 gave approximately $5,000 when contacted last year by Alumni Affairs, Chapoton said. The overall response rale from all alumni last year was 23.6 percent, she said. Traditionally, the SGA has not been involved in fundraising activities, but this campaign is "an active way to solve a problem," Caniglia said. Students calling other students is the most effective way of raising the funds, he said.
