The Daily Bruin

Many people have been asking why the flag has been flying at half-staff for the past week. This is in memory of Cara Moran, the George Fox student killed in last week’s tragic automobile accident. Her funeral in Chandler, Ariz., is Wednesday, Nov. 28, and the university will fly the flag at half-staff through that day. Please continue to pray for Cara’s family and friends during this difficult time.
