The Daily Bruin

James Project will be serving at Five Rock Ranch this weekend (check out the first 1:15 of this video: youtube.com/watch?v=ykDo05tVQAw).

We’ll be working outside, with whatever they need help with.

Last time we helped set-up horse stall so be prepared for a little mud.

We’ll be meeting in the Bruin Den at 9:15 a.m. Saturday, Apr. 2nd. Lunch will be provided, and we’ll be returning around 4 p.m.

If you’d like to sign up this week email Dan Wulff (dwulff09@georgefox.edu) know by Thursday or sign up in the Bruins Den.

The university community is invited to a panel discussion, “The Future of the 14th Amendment,” from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 31, in Hoover 105.

Join us as a panel of local students and political science experts discusses the implications concerning that section of the 14th Amendment that states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” The purpose of the event is to have dialogue about proposed legislation that seeks to limit the scope of the amendment, according to Joel Perez (Dean of Transitions and Inclusion).

Participants will include Mark David Hall (Political Science); Richard W. Etulain, professor emeritus of history at the University of New Mexico; and Jose-Antonio Orosco, associate professor in the philosophy department and director of the peace studies program at Oregon State University.

The event, sponsored by the Center for Peace and Justice, the Office of Transitions and Inclusion and the Latino Heritage Club, is in commemoration of the life of Cesar Chavez, the American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist whose birthday was March 31. More information is available here.

Questions? Contact Perez at jperez@georgefox.edu.

The Department of Religious Studies still has a table full of free books for you to carry away. For one more day only, Tuesday, March 29, come by our department (Hoover 230) and take some home!

Has anyone seen my black/animal print zip bag? It somehow jumped out of my purse in the Stevens parking lot. How do I know? My husband actually saw it on the ground next to a green car on Friday, but he didn’t pick it up thanks to a misunderstanding of the description.

If you have it, please call me at 503-554-2264. I miss my little zip bag!

Thanks,
Beth Molzahn
