Band chosen for annual music festival

The Student Government Association announced the band Citizen Cope as the musical act for Loyolapalooza. The event is the annual end of the year festival held outdoors. SGA members worked with a booking agent when looking for the headliner for this popular event.

Tracy Petruziello, the vice president of policy adds, ‘We like to keep it a good clean show. Loyolapalooza is more selective because of the fact that we are inviting the whole neighborhood, the surrounding area, and a lot of professors bring their families.’

This festival is a way for students to celebrate the end of the semester. SGA is currently looking for a date and also an opening act for the show.

Hazardous chemical detected in building
‘
Students and faculty at Loyola Maryland were evacuated early in the morning from their engineering building, Pereira Hall, when hazardous material was detected by inspectors.

This chemical was phosphoric acid and was discovered by public safety officers who were there for a routine fire inspection. This particular chemical is typically in a liquid form, but the officers thought that the storage of the phosphoric acid would risk its crystallization that makes it very dangerous.

A professional hazardous waste team removed the chemical from the building and disposed of it. Apparently the phosphoric acid had been in the building for a few years. The evacuation lasted nearly seven hours.
