The Daily Bruin

Craig Taylor (Director of Athletics) will speak at a George Fox Auxiliary luncheon at noon Friday, Feb. 5, in the Cap and Gown Room. Reservations are required and tickets are $7.50 per person.

To make reservations, contact Margene Haworth at 503-538-0604. Reservations should be made by Tuesday, Feb. 2.

The George Fox Auxiliary – open to men and women – has financially supported and promoted the university for more than 90 years. It hosts an annual fundraising holiday bazaar and sponsors luncheons throughout the year.

The university community is invited to hear Paul Anderson’s (Religious Studies) presentation, “The John, Jesus, and History Project: The Story of a Scholarly Consensus Opinion and its Potential Demise,” from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26, in Hoover 250.

Now in its ninth year at the national Society of Biblical Literature meetings, the John, Jesus, and History Project has enlisted the contributions of leading biblical scholars around the world, seeking to test the viability of two critical platforms: the “dehistoricization of John” and the resultant “de-Johannification of Jesus.” As co-chair of the project and editor of its three volumes, Anderson will share the latest on the potential challenging of the “scholarly consensus” on the subject over the last two centuries.

All are welcome; refreshments provided!

If you have family or close friends in Haiti or who were in the country during the earthquakes, please e-mail me at awinkelman07@georgefox.edu. We want to know how it is affecting students within our community. Also, let us know if you are a student/organization that is trying to help.

Let your voice be heard!

This Friday, Jan. 22, will mark the 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, a date which marked an important turning point in American history. There will be a display on the quad in remembrance of those missing from our generation.

Due to overall lack of student interest and participants signed up for this event, ASC Activities Committee has decided to cancel or postpone this event to another date. Whether the event is rescheduled is up to the students. If you feel the event should be continued or you would like to participate, email Sandra Turnbull (sturnbull05@georgefox.edu),

We feel that because of the lack of interest, a better use of ASC funds is necessary. If you have any questions please let an Activities Committee Member know, our goal is to create the best events for you!
