The Daily Bruin

You are invited to Music History II’s final presentations on Thursday, April 26, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Ross 221. Each presentation covers a unique topic connecting and exploring music from the 1400s through the 21st century. The students are excited to share their research on how music interacts with and influences philosophy, racism, pop culture and more.

You are welcome to attend all presentations, but come and go as needed. We hope you will join us!

Questions? Contact Abigail Magsarili.

Calling all undergraduates, graduates and faculty. Do you want to share your opinion about how great George Fox is? Do you have a college email address?

At the end of the spring semester a university-wide bicycle “clean-up” will be done. Here are the details:

• Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded.
• Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bicycle racks and surrounding areas.
• The basement of Gulley Hall will no longer be a place to store bikes. The space will be used for other needs after April 30.
• Bikes will be tagged the Monday after graduation week (April 30) and rounded up the following Friday (May 4).
• In order to accommodate the maintenance of the bike rack areas, bicycles may not be stored on campus during the summer. If you are not going to be on campus using your bicycle during the summer, please remove it.
• Juniors Abroad students and students using their bikes during the summer must remove their bikes from campus racks and move them to their place of summer residence or a temporary place of storage before the round-up on May 4.
• Bicycles NOT picked up from the impound lot by May 31 will be forwarded to the local charities at the discretion of campus public safety department. Junk bicycles will be recycled.

A few end-of-semester FoxTALE reminders …

• FoxTALE Open Labs are available during finals week. View dates and times here.
• If you used the FoxTALE grade book for any of your FoxTALE course sites, back up your 2018 spring grade book to a spreadsheet that is saved outside of FoxTALE. See the instructions here for backing up grades. You will want to keep an archive of your course grades that cover the last five years.
• Use your new, empty 2018 summer course sites as the sites in which you will teach. You may import content from another course site. See the instructions here for importing.
• 2018 summer sites are currently hidden from student view, as are all future courses. When you are ready, you can share the sites with your students. Here is a quick guide on how to make the courses available: FoxTALE Making Courses Visible to Students.
• Your 2018-19 course sites are available now. This guide, FoxTALE Changes for 2018-19 Course Sites, will help you get acquainted with the changes in course layout and menus.
• Visit the FoxTALE for Faculty webpage for a list of guides and resources.

Students: Be sure to check the Daily Bruin and your email during early summer to find out the dates when vehicle registration will open this summer. Parking permits for on-campus students will be issued on a first-come, first served basis based on fall class standing, so don’t miss your registration time window! Seniors will be given the first registration window, then juniors, etc.

Commuter and graduate students will have the first opportunity to register, so please do so by Aug. 1 to assure that your permit will arrive before school starts.

For anyone who registers after mid-August, please use your campus PO box, or the address you will be commuting from as your mailing address, as it will take up to two to three weeks for your permit to arrive to the address you indicate.

All students will need to have your DMV registration slip in front of you when you register on MyGFU, as the database will ask for information from that slip. A parking brochure will also be mailed with your parking permit, and lot and location changes are likely due to ongoing construction, so be sure to read it before arriving on campus!

Have a great summer and keep watching this space, your email and the George Fox Security Services Facebook page for further updates.

Employees: If you could help get the word out to students about vehicle registration, it would be greatly appreciated.

Contact Nadine Kincaid (nkincaid@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

George Fox softball is playing for an automatic berth to the NCAA National Tournament this weekend after clinching its first Northwest Conference championship! For the first time in program history, the Bruins are also hosting the tournament, which means you can support the team right here on campus.

The weather forecast calls for sunny skies and warm temperatures, so take a study break and catch a game or two as the softball team continues its incredible season. The first game will take place today (Friday). Afterwards, the games will take place according to the double-elimination tournament schedule.

For more information, visit the George Fox Athletics website. Go Bruins!

All are invited to join us at the Spring Engineering Expo for computer science, engineering and math projects in the Klages Maker Hub today (Friday) from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Senior design presentations will take place from 3 to 4:15 p.m. in EHS 125, HVR 102, HVR 104, EHS 117 and EHS 119.

The university’s theatre department invites the community to the show Living Out, playing at the Chehalem Cultural Center’s Black Box Theater (415 E. Sheridan St.) tonight and tomorrow (Friday and Saturday) at 7:30 p.m. both evenings.

Living Out tells the story of a Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for. The play explores what is the shared humanity between them and the differences wrought by race, class and Ana’s immigration status. The play also looks at the prejudices and misconceptions between Anglos and Latinos. How do we make someone “the other”? What is the cost of doing so? The play is both outrageously funny and ultimately tragic.

Tickets are “pay what you want” at the door (no reservations). Contact JeanneAnn Faris (jfaris15@georgefox.edu) for more information.
