Rally seeks action on New Orleans campus

Massed in front of a campus building that hasn't been touched since New Orleans floodwaters receded two years ago, about 200 placard-waving demonstrators Wednesday cheered a procession of speakers who called for immediate action to restore the Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) campus. For the past 20 months, the school has been housed in temporary buildings about a half-mile away. It is the only local institution of higher education that hasn't returned to its campus; the first of SUNO's 11 buildings to be reopened is not scheduled to be ready until next month.
