Just so you know our Idea is to put Arcade Games (like Pac man, Pinball machine, Mortal
combat, etc), DVD Rental Machine ($1.00 to rent), and other Vending machines for drinks and snacks. So please take our survey and hopefully your input will show us if this idea will be a great addition to our campus.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

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.
