A city official ruled in favor of neighbors, requiring the University to have a conditional use permit

RYAN KNUTSON News Reporter The University’s arena project hit a big hurdle on Wednesday when a hearings official ruled the development must have a conditional use permit before construction can begin — a decision that complicates the project and could delay it months. The decision overturned a ruling by City Planning Director Lisa Gardner, and it serves as vindication for the neighbors who have battled to have more say in the arena project since the site was first targeted in 2003. “This should have been a conditional use permit process from day one,” said Jeff Nelson, former co-chair of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association. Nelson currently serves on the neighborhood association’s arena subcommittee. If it had been, “we would have had all these issues resolved by now.” It’s unclear whether the ruling will turn to ARENA, page 8 JAROD OPPERMAN | Photo Editor Rob Mason and Jordan Shively finish signing Johnny Cash’s “Cocaine Blues” in the Ben Linder Room Wednesday morning.

GER 223 Germany: A Multicultural Society

Examines complexities of the increasingly multi-ethnic German society through the writings of African, Turkish and Jewish Germans, as well as contemporary films on the topic. This course introduces students to the political and social challenges faced by post-unification Germany. We will consider the historical, socioeconomic, political and cultural issues of minority populations. As we study the various groups, we will investigate the ways in which they have helped to redefine what counts as “German” today.
