The Daily Bruin

Ten years ago, nine George Fox cinema students and their beleaguered professor set out to make a feature film. At long last, it’s finished.

The cinematic arts program invites you to the premiere of Changing Time at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 28, in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Admission is free. The film would likely be rated R for violence.

Changing Time is about a NASA physicist whose life was derailed by the loss of his sister in a high school mass shooting, so he figures out a way to go back in time to try to change things.

As the university prepares to transition its printing needs to an outside source, we have partnered with Allegra Printing in Newberg. They have provided instructions for submitting print jobs; please read carefully.

• Submit all files and print requests to Shoshannah Smith at smiths@allegranewberg.com.
• PDF files are required. For graphic posters, we prefer 1-up with .125” bleeds and crop marks. If you’re sending booklets with spreads, please be certain they are in printer spreads, not reader spreads, and have numbered pages.
• Booklets can be submitted as 1-up single sheets in order and we will make them into booklets.
• Standard short-run pieces take three to five business days; however, we can at times do next-day return. If you know a project is coming up and call ahead, we can put it on our schedule. We cannot do next-day return on wide format pieces.
• Please call 503-538-7345 with any questions. Quotes need to be done through email, so if you call in a quote, please leave email contact information.

If you have any further questions, you are welcome to contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu.

Take a moment to write an email, e-card, or traditional thank-you card to that professor, coach, RA, tutor, supervisor, or other influential person. Stop by the ARC in the library to pick up a free blank card, or send or create your own.

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Monday, May 6. If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please come to Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID so your bike will not be removed.

• At the end of the spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is done. Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable are impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
• Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester. Bicycle claims can be made at the Campus Public Safety office.
• Students using their bikes during the summer must move their bikes to the nearest rack of their summer housing.
• Bicycles not picked up from the impound lot within 60 days will be forwarded to the local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety department. Junk bicycles will be recycled.
