The university community is invited to Art Talk this Monday, Nov. 6, as graphic designer David Carson speaks from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.).

Carson is an American graphic designer, art director and surfer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun, in which he employed much of the typographic and layout style for which he is known. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called “grunge typography” era.

There will be food and drink at the talk, as well as a question-and-answer time.

Contact Elizabeth Herrera (herrerae16@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Get hyped for Fox and Friendsview! This Monday, Nov. 6, we will be partnering with Friendsview for our second intergenerational game night of the year. This is a great opportunity to interact with our elderly friends in the Newberg community and is a great way to brighten their day.

We will be meeting in Bauman Auditorium to walk over at 6:15 p.m. If you have any questions, please email Kyla Norell at knorell16@georgefox.edu.

Hope to see you there!

As security officers patrol around campus, they are seeing some “creative” parking. This is just a reminder that if you are parking on a street, your car must be facing in the same direction as the lane of traffic next to you (i.e., your right tires must be within 12 inches of the right curb when parallel parking on a two-lane road, as per ORS 811.570).

And, when in a George Fox parking area, there must be a striped line on either side of your vehicle. There is no parking against building sides, walls, creating a new space, etc. Did you know that Newberg police can also fine you $110 for parking the wrong way on a city street or in a yellow curb fire zone, and $435 for parking in a handicapped spot (including the hash-marked areas) without a valid state-issued handicapped permit?

Questions? Please check the parking regulations here, or call Security Services at 503-554-2090 during office hours.

Over the last year, the university has moved to a new Cisco phone system. Please refer to this documentation for operating your new phone. The guide includes instruction on voicemail, transferring, call forwarding and conference calling.

Some general highlights:

• You now need to dial “8” to get an outside line.
• Long-distance codes are no longer needed except for international dialing.
• Voicemail is now sent to your email as an audio recording.
• Fax machines are still in transition and will continue to require “9” for an outside line and a long-distance code. As machines are converted over, a sign will be placed on the machine with instructions.

Please email questions to servicedesk@georgefox.edu or call us at 503-554-2569.
