Thanks to everyone who attended this year’s Serve Day Bruin Brawl.
The battle lasted more than two and half hours! The brawlin’ was fierce, but in the end the seniors came out on top!
The next Brawl will take place within four weeks, so keep your eye out!
Bon Appetit would like to thank everyone on meal plans for a wonderful start to the school year.Â
As a reminder, please help keep the lines moving by bringing your GFU ID card with you each time you come to Klages for your meals. Everytime a person forgets their card, it slows down the line for everyone, and our lunch and dinner lines are long enough already.
Although we do issue temporary cards when students forget, please treat your ID card the same as a debit or credit card. Keep it with you at all times. We only issue three temporary cards per semester. After that students will need to go back to their rooms to get their cards.
The student nursing association on campus would like to invite all nursing and pre-nursing students to join the nursing club. Meetings will be held in Hoover 103 on the second Friday of each month from 10:30-11 a.m. Come join us to find out what we are all about.Â
The first meeting will be this Friday, Sept.12. We hope to see you there.
Contact Jody Nakahara at jnakahara05@georgefox.edu for questions or membership information.
We are looking for volunteers to help build lunch boxes for Selah’s 600 participants.

All volunteers will recieve $10 off their Selah registration fee.
Please contact Danya Ochsner (University Relations) at 503-554-2121 or dochsner@georgefox.edu if you are interested in helping. If you have already signed up to volunteer for Amy Lorenz (University Relations) during Selah, we would prefer that you not also volunteer for the lunch building on Saturday.

A photography exhibit featuring the work of Corey Beals (Religious Studies) will go on display in the Lindgren Gallery this week. The show opens with an artist’s talk at 4 p.m., followed by a reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m., on Thursday, Sept. 11. The exhibit is entitled “Grounded Light” and deals with the question “How do we relate to the dirt that we come from, eat from, walk on, and return to?”
The art department is liquidating five potter’s wheels at prices that make them too good a deal to share without our community first getting a chance at them. Kick wheels at $250 and kick with power assist at $350. They’ll go fast on Craigslist, so if you or someone you know would be interested, please get in touch with Mark Terry (Visual Arts) at mterry@georgefox.edu in the next week.

Security has placed over 600 courtesy warning tickets on vehicles this week, so please register your vehicle on Bruindata if you have not done so. Parking permits are sent to your campus mailbox as a package. Visit Mail Services to sign for your permit.
Remember: The permit placement location has changed this year. The permit goes on the exterior rear window in the lower left-hand corner on the driver’s side. If you place your permit in the wrong location, and it can not be moved without ruining the permit, you will need to scrape it off, and bring the pieces to Security for a replacement permit. There will be a $5.00 fee for a new one.
Please call ext. 2090 if you have any questions.
You will notice some changes in the Murdock Learning Resource Center this year. More computers are available in the central area of the main floor, and more comfortable chairs will be arriving soon. A color printer also has been added, and a scanner will follow in the near future.
The additions are part of a plan to create an information commons in the MLRC. The commons represents a partnership between the library, the Academic Resource Center, and Institutional Technology. In addition to improved library space for computer users, the ARC will operate out of the Special Collections Room on the library’s second floor. IT will provide evening and weekend support from student workers in the library. As part of the plan, the Computer Assisted Instruction lab, previously housed in the Stevens Center, has been closed.
The commons is designed to provide a centralized location for many related or complimentary services you need to conduct and complete research projects. Consequently, you can access and use information resources in both print and digital formats, receive help and direction from a reference librarian in identifying, accessing and using these scholarly resources, receive writing services and academic coaching from the ARC, and receive related technology support through IT.
We hope that you use and enjoy the spaces at the library.
