Graphic designer David Carson speaks at Art Talk this Monday

Wednesday, November 1st, 2017

The university community is invited to Art Talk this Monday, Nov. 6, as graphic designer David Carson speaks from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.).

Carson is an American graphic designer, art director and surfer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun, in which he employed much of the typographic and layout style for which he is known. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called “grunge typography” era.

There will be food and drink at the talk, as well as a question-and-answer time.

Contact Elizabeth Herrera (herrerae16@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Security Services: A Few Parking Reminders

Wednesday, November 1st, 2017

As security officers patrol around campus, they are seeing some “creative” parking. This is just a reminder that if you are parking on a street, your car must be facing in the same direction as the lane of traffic next to you (i.e., your right tires must be within 12 inches of the right curb when parallel parking on a two-lane road, as per ORS 811.570).

And, when in a George Fox parking area, there must be a striped line on either side of your vehicle. There is no parking against building sides, walls, creating a new space, etc. Did you know that Newberg police can also fine you $110 for parking the wrong way on a city street or in a yellow curb fire zone, and $435 for parking in a handicapped spot (including the hash-marked areas) without a valid state-issued handicapped permit?

Questions? Please check the parking regulations here, or call Security Services at 503-554-2090 during office hours.
