The Daily Bruin

Intercultural Life is partnering with the Black Student Union for Black History Month to put together next week’s Matheteis! Join us at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20, in Canyon Commons 103.

Matheteis is a discussion forum that comes from the Greek word for disciple. Our goal is to provide space for faculty, staff/administrators and students to discuss difficult topics in a cross-disciplinary approach that leads to learning and understanding.

We invite four panelists who are given two to three prompt questions ahead of time. After panelists have an opportunity to discuss the prompt questions, audience participants can also ask questions and join the discussion.

The topic will be the issue of gentrification. We want to engage in dialogue about the effects that less affluent communities experience in the process of renovating urban areas. Come join us for good conversation, snacks, and chapel credit!

Contact Brianna Martin-Ortega (bmartinortega16@georgefox.edu) for more information.

Do you know a student who may benefit – or have family members that may benefit – from access to fresh produce as well as staple foods (rice, pasta, tortillas, canned vegetables, etc.)?

If so, keep Newberg FISH in mind as a resource. FISH provides food assistance in a respectful way to all those who come in and voice a need. They have a rule that they never turn anyone away.

To be eligible for a full food basket (with USDA food) there are some basic income restrictions, and a student must live in Newberg or Dundee. However, even students who do not meet these standards are eligible to receive the non-USDA food selection available at FISH.

A student simply needs to take a piece of his or her mail to the office. No Social Security numbers or intrusive personal details are collected. All FISH materials are available in English and Spanish.

To learn more about FISH, visit their website at newbergfish.org or write info@newbergfish.org. The office is located at 125-A S. Elliott Road in Newberg.

FoxTALE will be unavailable from 6 to 8 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, Feb. 14, for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Chaos is coming. Our very own canyon is hosting one of the most anticipated Olympic events of the new millennia: The Canyon Chaos Relays.

On Saturday, Feb. 17, at 10 a.m. the gun will go off and a horde of newly paired Valentines representing dozens of countries from around the world will race around the trail. They will battle for the title of Olympic Chaos Champion over one hour of racing.

Details:

• No one needs to preregister; just show up to be signed in and be given a country to represent.
• The course is a 0.9-mile loop run clockwise in the canyon. It starts running straight up the hill toward HMS.
• We’ll have a big fire going, warm beverages, music, and lots of cowbell for everyone to enjoy.
• Teams are of two and must alternate laps. Anyone who doesn’t have a partner we can pair with other singles.
• We have Winter Olympics-themed prizes for the first three places, and the first 36 people who sign up get cowbells to cheer with.

Who are we?
The George Fox Student Mixtape Project is a collaborative student project that started back in the early 2000s. It was revamped last year through KFOX Radio to produce 400 student mixtapes that were given away on Dead Day. With the help of ASC, we plan to produce 800 free mixtapes for the student body featuring selected works and release the entirety of all submissions online.

Be a part of George Fox history, and “Be Heard.”
