The Daily Bruin

Everyone is invited to the George Fox University Day of Prayer, scheduled for today (Monday, April 25). We ask you to set aside time that day to pray for our students, parents and the university.

For information on specific prayer requests, click here. If you would like to meet on campus, we will have a time set aside for prayer from noon to 1 p.m. in the Prayer Chapel. If you have any questions or prayer requests, contact the Office of Parent Relations at ext. 2134.

For those of us who were not at George Fox in 1965 when Heacock Commons and the current dining room was built, have you ever wondered what one of the first meals might have been? Have you ever thought how much lunch might have cost? Have you ever heard of the “Quaker Inn Cafe”? If the answer to any of these is yes, join us on Wednesday, April 27, for our “1965 Throwback Lunch” and you’ll discover what you missed 51 years ago!

We’ve rented a juke box spinning ’60s platters and will be featuring favorites like chicken a la king, bologna and egg salad sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, fruit cocktail and much, much more – all for the throwback price of $1.25 for all staff, faculty and commuters.

Bring your appetite and we’ll see you in Klages on Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Contact Denny Lawrence (dlawrence@georgefox.edu) or Lisa Miles (lmiles@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions.

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.

We will be hosting our second and final candy buffet on Wednesday, April 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bruin Den. We still have a wide variety of candy and will have boxes available for you to fill with your favorites for a low flat rate!

Drop by and see us anytime between 11 and 2. We look forward to seeing you and wish you well during finals week! The proceeds from this event will go toward financing a serve trip and Juniors Abroad trip for students Valentina Kucher and Courtney DuMond.

Contact Courtney (cdumond13@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Come celebrate the 19 years of service Debbie Berhó has given George Fox and wish her well on her next adventure in Costa Rica.  Stop by Minthorn 200 tomorrow (Tuesday) between 3:30 and 5 p.m. for an open-house-style reception to say goodbye to Debbie and let her know how much she will be missed.

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!

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!

Phase II Committee

Due to PeopleSoft report maintenance, the Budget and Transaction reports may not be available between noon and 7 p.m. today (Friday) and Monday morning.

Questions? Please call Cris Banton at ext. 2167.

Thank you

Next week is the final week to pick up your lost and found items at the security office! All items not reunited with their owners will be donated to charitable causes the week of May 2, so please stop by the office before you leave school for the summer!
