There has been a problem with students leaving their doors unlocked on the student houses and apartments over the years. It was decided awhile ago that we would install storeroom locks on all the exterior doors of the houses and apartments. This is the type of lock where it can’t be left unlocked. It’s always locked and when you open it and remove the key it relocks.

Last year I started gradually installing these on some of the houses as we had the money to do it. Now there has been enough money to purchase all the locks for the entire campus.

Starting this week and continuing throughout the school year I will be coming to various houses and apartments to be installing these. These are the houses and apartments that still need locks installed on them:

Beals Hs.
Campbell Hs.
Fell Hs.
Gulley Hs.
Hoskins Hs.
Kelsey Hs.
Kershner Hs.
Lewis Apts.
Schomburg Hs.
Villa Rd. Hs.
Weesner Hs.
Weesner Village
Woolman Apts.

The remainder of the housing areas already have the locks installed on them.

I just wanted to give you a head’s up on this so that you know I’ll be doing this. I won’t be calling ahead to schedule the work unless you prefer it that way. If you prefer that someone is there in your housing area while I do the work please let me know and I will schedule a time.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Corey Beals (Religious Studies) will present the 2007 Fall Faculty Lecture, “Relational Metaphysics and the Art of Disappearing,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, in Hoover 105.

Beals will discuss postmodern Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas’ view of human nature – a view that suggests that the ethical relation with “the Other,” as he calls, is not derived from human nature but is what constitutes human nature. “In other words, what makes me human is that I am in relation with the ‘Other,’” Beals says. “This relation is not just a type of social contract where we agree not to kill each other, but it is a relation that requires me to be responsible for my neighbor.”

Beals suggests that those who harm others in the face of this relation do so by becoming “invisible to the ‘Other.’”

“The ways of becoming invisible are many, and this is the subject of this lecture,” Beals says.

George Fox will host a midyear commencement ceremony in the James and Lila Miller Gymnasium-Coleman Wheeler Sports Center on the Newberg campus Saturday, Dec. 15.
