The Daily Bruin

Do you like free lunch? Are you a nice person? Do you like interacting with people? If any of these apply to you, we have a job for you!

Each year, the music department hosts the OSAA High School State Choir Competition, and we are currently needing volunteers to help keep the competition running smoothly. Jobs include door monitors, guides and assistants for some of the judges.

The competition is May 5-7, which is the Thursday, Friday and Saturday the week after graduation. Since it’s after school, this would be most ideal for students staying on campus for May Term or living nearby for the summer. Volunteers are needed all three days, and shifts go from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from noon to 5 p.m., or all day.

Please contact Natalie Marquette at nmarquette12@georgefox.edu if you are interested!

Spring formal is happening tomorrow night (Sunday) at 8 p.m. at the Crystal Ballroom. Tickets will be sold at the door if you haven’t purchased them yet!

Celebrate the end of spring semester with us!

Come see George Fox’s a cappella group, Quakers and Notes, perform for the last time this year! They will be in Hoover 105 for a show before the late-night breakfast this Monday night. Join us at 8:30 p.m. It’s free and will make a great study break.

Bring yourself, your friends and your cats!

Join us at Critical Hit for our final club meeting of the year! For our send-off we will be doing a potluck instead of pizza, so bring whatever snack you want! We’ll meet from 6 to 10 p.m. tonight (Saturday) in Stevens 208.

If you don’t have time to make something, come anyway. We are excited to share our epic conclusions to our adventures. Please check out our Facebook page for live updates.

At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer, including blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of the resources, Phase II was initiated. We are happy to receive reusable items that students do not want to take home starting on April 22 and going through May 2 at 4 p.m.

The items gathered are sorted and made available to summer students and staff, with the remainder of the items being given to different organizations in the local area, such as Rescue Mission, Unwed Mothers Homes, Love Inc., and Goodwill.

Barrels will be placed in or near central living areas …

• On the porches or patios of Weesner, Riley, Chapman, Hoskins, Armstrong, Campbell, Fulton St., Villa Rd., Gail, Kershner, Barclay and Wilder houses
• In the dorm lobbies of Edwards, Pennington, Le Shana, Brandt, Coffin, Hobson, Macy and Sutton
• Outside of the first floor of Beebe, Carey and Willcuts
• Near Woolman 2-3, Winters 201-2 and Newlin apartments
• In Lewis and Weesner Village laundry rooms

Please look for and use these barrels as you prepare to leave at the end of school.

• Please do not place trash in the barrels labeled “Phase II.”
• Please do not donate undergarments, socks, damaged or soiled items
• Do not donate large appliances or furniture such as couches, arm chairs and beds
• Do not place food or chemicals in the barrels. Place these items in a box or bag next to the barrels.

There are large drop boxes for your trash located strategically on campus. By law, computers, monitors and TVs cannot go into the trash. They can be place beside the barrels. Please note if it is broken.

Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford (dastlefo@georgefox.edu).

Have a great summer and may the Lord bless you as you go!

During this election year, we encourage students to get informed, involved and engaged locally, regionally and nationally! With the Oregon primaries rapidly approaching, there are some opportunities to be aware of.

First, on Monday, April 25, the nonpartisan League of Women Voters will be in the Bruin Den from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to get registered to vote.

Second, there will be two tables in the Bruin Den from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26 (the last day to register for the Oregon primaries) for the purpose of creating space for those who would like to put out fliers regarding their local, regional or national candidates of choice.

Finally, the bulletin board outside of the Bruin Store is now available to post political posters. Students who would like to post something about a particular candidate must have the poster stamped by ASC (though this in no way implies endorsement of a particular candidate).

Please note that George Fox University and ASC do not endorse any particular candidate or political party, but we are simply providing opportunities to encourage civic engagement.
