The Daily Bruin

FoxSecret – Do YOU have a secret?
“You’re secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything – as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.”
-Postsecret.com

How to Participate:
1. Take the yellow postcard delivered to your campus mailbox or one of your own and decorate the back with a secret. Be creative! For ideas, check out http://www.postsecret.com

2. Drop your postcard into campus mail by April 14th. You do not need a box number, just make sure that it says “FoxSecret” on it.

3. See the display of secrets in the Bruin Den on April 17th. See the burdens of your fellow classmates and say a prayer for them. All secrets will remain anonymous.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact a COED area RA.

President Robin and Ruth Baker invite you to attend the annual presentation of employee awards:

Date: Wednesday, May 7
Place: Wood-Mar Auditorium
Time: 3:30-4:30 p.m.

An employee reception, featuring refreshments, will follow in the Ron Gregory Atrium in EHS from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The event is in lieu of the annual employee appreciation dinner. 

The theatre department will present As it is in Heaven, the final play of the 2007-08 season, on April 10-12 and April 17-19 at 7:30 p.m., and April 13 at 2 p.m. All performances take place in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

The play tells the story of an 1830s Shaker community in Pleasant Hill, Ky., that is set in its ordered ways until a newcomer, Fanny, see angels in the meadow. Soon all the young women are receiving spiritual “gifts” of songs, drawings, ideas, and giggles and completely upsetting the community. Are these gifts an honest resurgence of the original shaker celebration, or something manufactured by Fanny?

Employees receive one complimentary ticket, available for pick-up at the University Store. Students are welcome to see the show free of charge at the two Thursday performances and may pick up those tickets at the University Store. The cost is $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and alumni, and $6 for students and children under 12. To purchase tickets or find out more, visit theatre.georgefox.edu.
