The Daily Bruin

Have you ever thought about running a 5K, but just didn’t know where to start? Each week, the College of Physical Therapy’s Twitter, @GFUDPT, will be posting short videos with tips to either help you run your first 5K or to help you run your best 5K.

New videos will be up each week to help you prepare for our annual Run for Africa fundraiser on Saturday, May 6.

Reach out to Jason Brumitt at jbrumitt@georgefox.edu if you have any questions. 

Happy Friday, Bruins! The Comic Book Club will be meeting tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. in Hoover 207. The theme for this week is “International Comics!”

Tonight will be everything from Japanese manga (“One Piece”), Euro comics (“Hildafolk”), Korean manhwa (“Wind Breaker”) and more!

The Comic Book Club is a great way to unwind from a busy week and find other fandom fans. Don’t worry if you know nothing about comics! Members vary in a variety of knowledge and commitment to different fandoms. We hope to see you there!

Contact Maggie Hartley at mhartley20@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Today marks another Friday @ Fox visit day!

Prospective students will participate in a campus tour, visit classes, eat lunch on campus, and tour academic departments of interest from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is asking students and employees to help make visitors feel the Be Known promise during their time on campus.

A few things to note:

• Plan to park in areas outside of the Stevens lot if possible to ensure enough spaces for visitors.
• There will be tours rotating through campus and residence areas at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.
• Consider offering a helping hand if visitors need directions or have questions about George Fox.

If you have any questions, contact Lauren Hill at hilll@georgefox.edu

Wooden rings, spoons, and flower pots are just some of the beginner items you can make with the Maker Hub’s TeknaTool Wood Lathe! A wood lathe is a machine very similar to the metal lathe in the machine shop.

To start, two free-spinning center points on each side of a wood piece clamp the wood between them and hold it centered. It operates by spinning a piece of wood stock at a variable speed allowing the operator to create round objects.

Unlike the metal lathe, there is not a cutter secured to the machine that is moved into place to cut. On the wood lathe, an operator will instead use long handled chisels to carve away the wood. There are a wide variety of projects that can be done on the wood lathe, some easier than others, and all requiring a different need for skills and tools.

For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page, and check out this video to see how it works.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

The Old Testament constitutes the majority of the Christian Bible and provides much of the language of Christian faith. However, many churches tend to neglect this crucial part of Scripture. What should be done about it?

Dr. Brent Strawn will address the very question in a lecture, “The Old Testament is Dying and What You Can (and Should) Do About It,” at 6:30 p.m. tonight (Thursday) in Canyon Commons. Strawn is professor of Old Testament at Duke Divinity School and holds a secondary appointment at the Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina.

Strawn is author of the book The Old Testament is Dying: A Diagnosis and Recommended Treatment, in which he details a number of ways the Old Testament is showing signs of decay, demise and imminent death in the church. He criticizes current misunderstandings that contribute to its neglect and offers ways to revitalize its use in the church. His words are a reminder of the Old Testament’s important role in Christian faith and practice.
