George Fox libraries now provide access to Classical Music Library, Smithsonian Global Sound, and African American Song.  These combine to offer tens of thousands of tracks of music as well as drama, poetry, and more.  To access, go to the library’s alphabetical list of databases at http://www.georgefox.edu/offices/murdock/alphabeticalindex.html and select the database of choice.   Listeners can create playlists of their favorite tracks.

Did you know we have a community garden at George Fox? Yes, and it’s been growing all summer. It’s located on campus directly north of the Villa Academic Complex, where the helipad used to be. Drop by and have some sugar snap peas, purple beans, or golden cherry tomatoes and check out the baby watermelons and ripening brandywine tomatoes.

A work party is scheduled for the garden from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31. Come join in the work, or just come to check it out and find out how you can be involved (the univeristy will have a winter garden as well). Everyone is welcome.  

Contact Corey Beals (Religious Studies) at cbeals@georgefox.edu or ext. 2661 or Tyler at Halethale03@georgefox.edufor for more information.

George Fox’s student newspaper, The Crescent, is looking for an undergraduate student for the position of business manager at George Fox’s Newberg campus for the 2007-2008 school year. I was hoping that you might be able to advertise this opportunity in the GFU E-nnouncements. The business manager’s responsibilities include:

Selling ads weekly, coordinating artwork for ads, and handling all billing and collection for ads
Processing all check requests and mail, paying bills, and returning business calls
Working with ASC staff to maintain a balanced budget for The Crescent

In the past, ad clients have ranged from George Fox departments to local businesses to large companies such as GEICO. This position includes a stipend whose amount has not been determined yet. This is a great opportunity for an accounting or business student to gain valuable experience. I would appreciate it get this information out to our student community, putting me down as a contact at this e-mail address. Thank you for your time.
