The Daily Bruin

I know that you are being bombarded with all kinds of information right now, but if you will take the time to read all of this it will be helpful to you, especially if you are a new student.

I wanted to give you some information about the ID card campus cardlock access system so you’ll know exactly what you have access to.

• All residence hall students have 24-hour access to the building they live in.
• All undergraduate students have visiting access hours to all the residence halls. The hours of access differ depending on the building you’re visiting. Here they are:

Residence Halls (Brandt, Coffin, Edwards, Hobson, Macy, Pennington, & Sutton Hall):

5-10 p.m. – Mon. – Thur.
2-11 p.m. – Fri. – Sun.

Suites (Beebe, Carey & Willcuts Hall):

3-11 p.m. – Mon. – Thur.
Noon – Midnight – Fri. – Sun.

Apartments ( Le Shana Hall):

Noon – Midnight – Sun. – Thur.
Noon – 2 a.m. – Fri., Sat.

All the residence halls have card readers at the entrances to each floor (except Sutton 1). These readers are all programmed to be automatically open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. When they are locked residents have 24-hour access only to the floor they live on. There are no visiting access hours to the floor-card readers for other students.

There are a few cases where residents have access to a floor besides the one they live on:

• Beebe Hall 1 residents have 24-hour access to Beebe 2 in order to do their laundry.
• Edwards 2 & 3 residents have 24-hour access to the first floor on the side of the dorm they live on for doing laundry. Second- and third-floor men only have access to the first floor on the men’s side, and so on for the women.
• Hobson & Macy residents have 24-hour access to Sutton Hall.
• Willcuts Hall 1 residents have access to Willcuts 2 in order to do laundry.

All undergrads have access to the Foxhole in the SUB basement at the following times:

4 p.m. – Midnight – Mon. – Thur.
4 p.m. – 2 a.m. – Fri.
2 p.m. – 2 a.m. – Sat., Sun.

If you are a commuter (live off campus), then your hours of access to the Foxhole are:

7:15 a.m. – Midnight – Mon. – Thur.
7:15-2 p.m. – Fri.
2 p.m. – 2 a.m. – Sat., Sun.

All faculty, staff & students have access to Wheeler Sports Center for the following times:

6 a.m. – 11 p.m. – Mon. – Fri.
7 a.m. – 7 p.m. – Sat.
1-7 p.m. – Sun.

All faculty, staff and students have 24-hour access to the SUB and the Prayer Chapel.

There are cases when you will be granted access to a particular academic building(s) for academic or workstudy purposes. These privileges will be given by the department head or workstudy supervisor as needed.

I hope that this is helpful information, especially to new students. I hope that all of you have a great school year! If you ever have any cardlock or key questions or concerns, please contact me.

Thank you.

Back to school and back to Employee of the Month awards! This month marks the seventh anniversary of this tradition that honors our outstanding colleagues.

With so many who worked so hard to ensure that the new year began well for our employees and students, there are probably many whose contributions have especially stood out over the last several weeks.  If you know someone you believe deserves special recognition for “above and beyond” kind of work, please send an email to Peggy Kilburg (pkilburg@georgefox.edu) by Thursday, Sept. 17, with a summary of this colleague’s recent contributions and any other information that makes this person deserving of this award.

The President’s Executive Leadership Team will select the recipient from the nominations submitted, and the winner will be honored with a citation and a $100 Visa gift card at our first community meeting later in September.

Construction of the new dining hall will be ongoing this academic year, and safety for students, staff and construction personnel is the utmost priority. Please note the following items:

• Fenced areas are strictly for construction personnel. Open gates are for construction work only.
• Visitors must report to the Andersen Construction trailer near Brandt and Coffin halls.
• Be alert when equipment is moving through campus. Do not walk in front of or near moving equipment.
• Call campus security if you see anything that seems unsafe at any time of day (503-554-2090).

There are number of outlets to learn and play the piano at George Fox. Here is info on a few of them ..

Learn to play piano
Interested in learning how to play piano? Check out MUSI 135 A and B, a piano class for beginners and intermediate-level students. Beginners are considered those with no previous lessons or a year or less of lessons as a child. Intermediate-level players are those with more than one year of lessons recently or two years of lessons as a child. If you’re not sure, you can always email the instructors.
Level A: Jennifer Garrett (jgarrett@georgefox.edu)
Level B: Barbara Stewart (bstewart@georgefox.edu)

Private lessons
Would you like to learn the piano but are not sure if you want to be in a class? Enroll in MUSA 105 PN for .5 credit. This is “Applied Piano,” which is a private lesson each week. No need to be a music major to enroll in applied piano. Questions? Contact Kenn Willson at kwillson@georgefox.edu

Keyboard Ensemble
A last opportunity for pianists (you will need at least 4-plus years of lessons). Enroll in Keyboard Ensemble, a course that puts two to four students together to work on one or two pianos. This is great fun for pianists to get a similar experience to bands, orchestras or choirs, but you only need to be able to play the piano.

If interested, you can enroll in MUSA 145 K (if you are at 18 credit hours but need to enroll in this ensemble, you can take it for “0” credit). This spring we will be putting together a “Monster Piano Concert” featuring six grand pianos on the Bauman stage, with organ. It’s great fun to prepare, and a big hit with the audience. Contact Kenn Willson for more info: kwillson@georgefox.edu.

Announcing the Music Faculty Showcase Concert! Come hear your colleagues, professors and friends perform musical works by Handel, Corigliano, Weber and more! The concert will include performers on clarinet, saxophone, piano, voice, flute and cello.

Join us for this free event at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, in Bauman Auditorium.

Questions? Contact Sophia Tegart at stegart@georgefox.edu.

Tonight (Tuesday) at 9 p.m. in Cap and Gown (just to the right as you exit “The Bon”), will be our first Shalom chapel elective of the year with guest speaker Steve Sherwood, assistant professor for youth evangelism and discipleship. (You can listen here to a bit of Steve on the Shalom vision behind this gathering).

Shalom is a simple weekly gathering started by student leaders eight years ago. It is more “minimalist” in production and is focused on centering us all around Christ, particularly God’s work through Christ to bring everything back to the wholeness God intended, and how we might participate in God’s work in the world as one “body” with many “parts.”

All are welcome to join us with open hearts together!

For more information, please contact the spiritual life office at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

He is new to the area and is currently focusing on teaching and solo material.

As we gear up for the start of school, here are just a few reminders to keep in mind:

• Remember that when submitting any print jobs to Print Services, a chart of accounts number must accompany the job. If a student worker is placing the order, please make sure that student has all of the proper information when the job is being submitted. In addition, when you are sending out mail and packages that are being charged to the department, please make sure that your chart of accounts number is provided.
• Effective July 1, the beginning of this fiscal year, Print Services changed the way departments order paper. When ordering 20# white paper, either by the case or by the ream, departments will no longer be required to include a chart of accounts number when ordering. This is due to the fact that 20# bond white is part of the copy fleet program. Therefore, as long as you are ordering 20# bond white for your copier machine (Kyoceras and Ricohs), no chart of accounts number is needed. However, if you are ordering specialty paper, which is anything other than 20# bond white, your department chart of accounts number will be required, even if the paper will be going through the copy machine, as it is not part of the copier fleet program.
• Mail Services is no longer accepting “IOU’s.” When sending personal packages, shipping must be paid by either cash or check.
• Please note that our campus courier only delivers between the Newberg campus and Portland Center on Mondays and Thursdays only. If you have any items that need to go to Portland, please have the items to Mail Services by 10:30 a.m.
• Remember, student workers must have the department lanyard when picking up mail and packages. Mail Services will not release packages without the lanyard. If you do not have a current lanyard for the 2015-16 academic year, please contact Richard Silver to get one at 503-554-2551 or rsilver@georgefox.edu.
