Do you want to see your favorite professor get a pie in the face? Sigma Zeta is hosting a new event!
Donate nonperishable food to a professor’s box of your choosing and the first professor’s box to be filled will get “pie-d” by the competing professor. Different professors will be competing each week. The “pie-ing” will be held the week before finals, and boxes are located under the TV on the second floor of EHS.
This week it is Carlisle Chambers vs. Matt Stump. The boxes must be filled or the professor won’t get “pie-d,” so start donating now!
Questions? Contact Isaac Edminster at iedminster17@georgefox.edu.

While there is no requirement for any signage or painted curbs to indicate “No Parking,” Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 811.550(16) prohibits parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.
Besides the financial penalties that you could incur from the city of Newberg, you could be delaying firefighters from getting water into a burning building when you block a fire hydrant.
Please help us to be good neighbors by being courteous of others and keeping our community safe.
Questions? Call 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.
