A fundraiser involving a mural and balloon art had been planned for Feb. 3. ASUO Events
Coordinator Amelie Rousseau said she canceled the event to organize solidarity
demonstrations for the campus Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Alliance, whose office was spray-painted.
“I was stringing together a massive balloon rope,” Rousseau said. “I was a little distracted.”
But Rousseau said the event will go on today on the corner of East 13th Avenue and University Street. Students will be allowed to participate in activities only if they send donations to one of a list of charities via text message.
