The Daily Bruin

The Housing Selection Form will only be accessible through today (Friday, March 21). Please make sure to complete this if you would like to be considered as part of the selection process.

To complete the form you will need to login with your MyGFU username and password. This will give you access to a housing code that you can share with the rest of your group. One person from each group will then fill out the remainder of the form with the housing codes for the entire group. Once you have entered and confirmed your roommate choices you will be asked to rank the order of your housing preferences.

If you do not have a group, you can participate in housing selection as an individual. In this case, we will look at placing you with others who have an opening in their living area. Please note that placing individuals often takes longer, as we need to place groups in housing first. This means you may not know your housing assignment until later in April or May.

For additional information about housing selection please refer to the Residence Life website. If you have questions, please stop by or call the Student Life Office (ext. 2310) or email housing@georgefox.edu.

The university’s French and cinema programs have joined forces to present the third Fox French Film Festival on concurrent Fridays, April 4 and April 11.

Opening the festival will be Astérix and Obélix Meet Cleopatra, a big-budget box-office comedy about the French comic book heroes created in the 1960s. Their adventures have sold 280 million copies to date in Europe. It shows at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 4, in Hoover 105.

Also that night in the same location, Séraphine will be featured at 9 p.m. This extraordinary French-Belgian biographical film tells the dramatic story of French paintress Séraphine de Senlis, a middle-aged housekeeper in the early 1900s. Untaught and following what she regards as religious inspiration, she finds great appreciation in the beauty found in nature.

Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crêpes and other French fare during the intermission between the shows. There is no admission charge and are open to all.

Two different films, Les Choristes (The Chorus) and Des Dieux et des Hommes (Of God and Men), will be shown on April 11. Details to follow.
