The Daily Bruin

As you head home at the end of term, do not forget to take your bike with you. Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Wednesday, May 7. Bikes that are illegally parked, unregistered, or inoperable will be impounded.

Here are a few more things to take note of regarding bikes:

• Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester.
• If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID. Move your bike to the rack that is closest to your summer housing.
• Impounded bicycles will be kept at CPS for 60 days and then donated to local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Claims for impounded bikes may be made at the CPS office. Junk bikes will be recycled.

Students: Before you say your goodbyes and leave campus, here are a few payroll reminders.

First, please be sure to lock your timesheets once you are finished working your last shift in April. This will prevent any delays on your May paycheck.

Second, be sure to update any address changes with Mail Services or sign up for direct deposit. Payroll will continue to distribute checks through mail services, so an accurate address is important.

To get your paycheck automatically sent to your bank account on payday, sign up for direct deposit by stopping by the Office of People and Culture. You can either bring a voided check or a printed direct deposit form from your bank that includes your name, account number and routing number. Many banks have these forms available to print through their online banking website or mobile app.

You can also fill out the direct deposit form linked on our website and submit your proof from your bank to our paperwork dropbox.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Office of People and Culture at peopleandculture@georgefox.edu. Thanks, and have a great summer!

So, what did Tolkien really think of Narnia? A presentation by Dr. Holly Ordway addresses the question – the first in a series of keynote lectures uploaded to a new YouTube channel featuring content from The Undiscovered C.S.

Be sure to subscribe to the channel and stay tuned for other stimulating keynote lectures that will be added over the course of the next few weeks, one per week. You can also help promote it by sharing the channel, liking the video, and sharing the video.

The university pastors invite you to drop into the chapel for prayer any day during finals week between 10 a.m. and noon. A pastor will be there to pray with you if you need, or you can pray individually. There will be no program, just open time to pray.

Keep celebrating Earth Day and God’s creation with two service opportunities this week.

Come help us finish clearing the area, plant laurel at the perimeter, and build garden beds this week!

Any help is much appreciated. The address is 501 Mission Drive (Newberg Peace Garden). The sooner beds are built, the sooner produce can start to be grown, which will benefit people in our community who use the Bruin Community Pantry.

Dates:

• Thursday, April 24, 3:30 to 6 p.m.
