The Daily Bruin

A student is holding auditions for a short film. Golden Seahorse is a film about siblings, Zane and Chloe, who attend college together and struggle with their independence. With Zane’s over-protective tendencies, he pushes his sister away and has to decide whether to tell his sister the truth about their family or continue letting her live a lie.

The roles are as follows:

• Zane (Male, 26-35)
• Chloe (Female, 18-25)
• Carson (Male, 18-25)
• Emily (Female, 18-25)
• Katie (Female, 35-45)
• Linda (Female, 45-55)

Audition by appointment. For more information, contact Austin Carrero at acarrero16@georgefox.edu.

The university’s Department of Biology and Chemistry invites you to join us for the 10th annual Dalton Lecture at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Monday) in Bauman Auditorium. Admission is free.

The presentation, titled “The True Story of Science and Faith,” will be delivered by Ian Hutchinson, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He will discuss how the widely presumed “warfare myth” that science and religion are at odds is a distortion of both science and faith.

In truth, Hutchinson argues, their relationship is a complex story that ultimately leads to the affirmation that God is revealed both in the “Book of His Word” (the Bible) and the “Book of His Works” (nature).

The lecture is one of two Hutchinson will present on campus. He will also speak at 3 p.m. today on “Star Power! Scientific Frontiers of Fusion Energy” in Bauman Auditorium.

More information is available on the Dalton Lecture Series webpage. Questions? Call Vetta Berokoff at 503-554-2710.

Have you noticed the bright sunny-yellow lids on the bins in the outside enclosures? Those are our recycling bins. Please avoid dumping garbage in the recycling bins because it contaminates the entire bin.

What can be recycled? So many things! And it’s a commingled service, so recyclables can be mixed together. Check out the full list of recyclable materials here.

Recycling not only reduces the use of raw resources, it also reduces what is taken to landfills and saves the university money in garbage fees. Thank you for making a positive impact on our world!
