Two questions concerning early America – “Did America have a Christian founding?†and “Did the founders want separation of church and state?†– will be addressed at a summer symposium hosted on the Newberg campus on Friday, Aug. 13.
Daniel L. Dreisbach, a professor in the Department of Law, Justice and Society at American University who studied philosophy as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, will present a lecture, “Thomas Jefferson and the ‘Wall of Separation’ Between Church and State,†from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. There is no charge to attend.
Prior to the lecture, a barbecue and book-signing session are scheduled from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the quad. The cost for the barbecue is $13 per person. Joining Dreisbach at the book signing will be Mark David Hall (Herbert Hoover Distinguished Professor of Political Science), a frequent collaborator with Dreisbach. The two coauthored The Sacred Rights of Conscience and teamed with Jeffry H. Morrison to write The Forgotten Founders on Religion and Public Life and The Founders on God and Government. Copies of the books will be available for sale at the signing session.
Registration details and more information are available at veritasschool.net. Seating is limited, so those interested in attending are encouraged to register as soon as possible. The lecture is co-sponsored by the university’s political science department and Veritas School of Newberg.
Registration is still open for the university’s fourth Motorcycle Rally, scheduled Saturday, Aug. 14. The event features both a long (185-215 miles) and short (110-115 miles) ride, with the former traveling through the coast range and the latter winding through the hills and valleys of Yamhill County.
The event also features a motorcycle show and barbecue dinner on the Newberg campus that evening. For schedule and price details, visit the event website or contact Alumni Relations at ext. 2131. The registration deadline is Monday, Aug. 9.

We have an excess of office supplies (and binders) from our recent remodel and want to offer them up to the university’s students, staff and faculty. Please stop by the registrar’s office on the first floor of the Stevens Center and see if there’s anything you can use. Stop by anytime Wednesday through Friday of this week.
As of Friday, Print Services has acquired five Xerox ColorQubes that will allow campus users to make color copies and create scans that can be sent to e-mail. Scanning to e-mail is free to all users. Black and white copies are 10 cents per side, while color copies are 20 cents per side.
As with all of our walk-up copiers, activation cards may be purchased from IT or from the library’s front desk. The machines are located in the Hoover second-floor lobby, the second-floor mezzanine in the Stevens Center, the MLRC’s first-floor copier center, and the VAC lobby. The fifth machine is in Print Services, where customers will be able to print from their own computers, student kiosk computers, or copy and then make payment to the staff.
Please note that the Xerox ColorQube will print black and white or color, so be sure to designate what you want. Also, this is “solid ink†technology (crayon), so an item printed/copied from the ColorQube will not be able to go through a heat-based process (lamination).
