NEWS SPORTS A&C FORT COLLINS UTILITY EUROPEAN PLAYERS AID THE AGGIE’S PUERTO RICO RATES TO INCREASE CHAMPIONSHIP PROSPECTS RAISING CONCERT Vol. 127, No. 59 Wednesday, November 8, 2017 PAGE 4 PAGE 8 PAGE 14 City to study U+2 By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

At their latest Senate meeting, the Associated Students of Colorado State University, Colorado State University’s student government, passed a bill advocating for $10,000 from the ASCSU discretionary fund for a study that would look at U+2. Specifically, the occupational study will “focus on the city’s existing occupancy ordinance (U+2),” in an effort to determine if U+2 has had any impact on neighborhood quality or housing affordability. ASCSU President Josh Silva will also be allocating $3,000 from the President’s discretionary fund to the study, bringing the total to $13,000 from the student body. Silva also said the University administration is willing to donate to the study. U+2, originally called “three- unrelated,” has been part of Fort Collins since the 1960s, when the city passed the ordinance to fight Police officers sweep through “The Cube” in the Colorado State University Morgan Library during a bomb threat Nov. 7. Officers covered both floors what citizens then saw as growing on multiple sweeps, some carried assault rifles during their searches and they later led a K-9 unit through the building.

There are seven official art galleries at Colorado State University. Many have featured student work, but only one is dedicated to art by and for student artists. The Mini Gallery is hidden in the “F” wing of the Visual Arts Building. It functions as an essential steppingstone for many student artists as they strive for careers in the art world. The gallery is miniscule both in dimension and show length. The room is small and includes nothing but stark white walls and a drab concrete floor, but every week it is transformed. Exhibitors have one week to exhibit, according to undergraduate coordinator Elizabeth Sorenson. Signups are opened one week before finals. It is open to all undergraduates, but seniors get The Mini Gallery in the Visual Arts building hosts an exhibition from several student arts.
