The Daily Bruin

A beginning guitar class will be offered on campus this fall for credit. Sign up and add some fun to your schedule and learn a new skill!

The class is designed for those new to the guitar who want to learn in a fun group setting. Learn the skills to play all your favorite rock, folk, pop and worship songs. No experience is necessary, but you must have your own guitar. The class is MUSI 250-A (Wednesdays/Fridays, 3:20-4:30 p.m.).

Class and lessons are taught by G.I.T. Musicians Institute graduate Jordan Stricklen. Email Jordan directly at JStricklen@georgefox.edu for more info.

Know students who need help with their schedule, transfer credit, or changing their major? Know anyone who needs some tips on their resume, Handshake or LinkedIn? The IDEA Center drop-in hours are a great time to get those things checked off the list!

These are for quick, 10- to 15-minute conversations, and are first-come, first-serve. Starting this week, we are open for drop-ins at the following times:

• CAP Coaches: Monday, 2-4 p.m.; Tuesday, 10 a.m. to noon; Wednesday, 10 a.m. to noon; Thursday, 2-4 p.m.

Please let your students know about this resource. Students can contact the IDEA Center at idea@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2330 with questions.

Exceptions will be given for same-day reservations. Cancellations can be submitted via email or phone. Please send all van reservations to Debby O’Kelley at dokelley@georgefox.edu or Dixie Downey at ddowney@georgefox.edu.

The campus will look a little different tomorrow (Saturday) as we prepare to host around 3,000 guests at our first football game of the year that afternoon at 1 p.m.. Here are some things to make note of:

Bauman Parking Lot
Be sure to move your cars out of the Bauman parking lot on Friday evening. This space will be dedicated to vendors and tailgating on Saturday. Stop by on Saturday and check out all of the food and activities happening before the game!

Entrances to the Football Game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.

Wheeler Sports Center Closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.

Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.

Barricades
If you see a barricade, it is there for a reason. Please do not move them, jump over them, crawl under them, or unlock them.

Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 8:30 a.m.

Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.

Tickets
Students and staff can show their ID cards at the gate to get into the game. Additional tickets can be purchased at the gate or online by visiting this ticket link.

We hope to see you at the game at 1 p.m. and the tailgates prior to that! We will be taking on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

Interested in joining the handbell choir? We’re looking for ringers for the 2016-17 year, and we’d love for you to join us! We meet once a week, on Thursdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Ross 219.

Our first rehearsal, tonight (Thursday), is a handbell “open house” for you to come try out ringing in an open, no-pressure environment. Come join us and see if ringing in a handbell choir is right for you!

Ringing handbells has numerous benefits, including:

• Enjoying participation and building confidence making music in a small ensemble
• Exploring the skills of handbell playing through rehearsal and performance
• Building rhythmic and sight-reading skills, and
• Growing in ability as a musician using handbells and a variety of musical styles and techniques

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at barefootcomposer@gmail.com. Otherwise, I hope to see you tonight!

Sincerely,
– Chris Reed, Director
