The Daily Bruin

Come join us Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Foxhole! We will have chips, salsa, small snacks and drinks! Come join us as we eat, fellowship, watch a brief (2-3 minute) video, and discuss how to “live simply” in a complex world. Afterwords there will be games and time to hang out!

If you want a way to fellowship, play games, and grow with other students this summer, this is it. See you Thursday!

This is just a heads-up on where parking lot restriping will be taking place today (Monday, May 18), and hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday), weather permitting.

On Monday, we would ask you to please vacate the little parking lot by the River Street House, the western part of the Pennington lot closest to Stevens, and the Woolman apartment lots. If all the painting is able to be completed today, it won’t be necessary to vacate those lots on Tuesday. If that is the case, the Wood-Mar lot will need to be vacated on Tuesday, May 19.

On Sunday, May 17, the Newberg Fire Department will be doing a “burn-to-learn” on the Munn and North Street houses, at 1314 E. North St. and 1400 North St., respectively.

Fire crews will be at the site for most of the day as they do various exercises involving small fires inside the houses. North Street House will eventually be burned to the ground, but the north end of Munn House may be left to avoid damage to the nearby trees. The houses are being removed to prepare the area for the construction of a new dining hall.

If you choose to come and watch, please be considerate of the fire department crews and stay at a safe distance. After the fire department has finished with this area, do not walk in the burn area, as the rubble will remain hot and hazardous, and do not go into the remains of the Munn House. Plant Services crews will complete the demolition.

Questions or concerns? Contact the Office of Plant Services at 503-554-2010.
