The Daily Bruin

Starting Thursday, July 1st, all users of the Hadlock Student Center will be required to sign a new waiver in order to use the facility for sports, exercise, or other activities. For employees and general students, they can find it here, under “Employee Resources” or “Student Resources” and “University Forms”. For guests and other members, it is located here. Please keep in mind that everyone needs an updated facility waiver starting July 1, 2021.

In addition, every person participating in rock climbing needs to rewatch the Bouldering Orientation Video and take the Bouldering Assessment Quiz again. Please note that climbers need to watch the video even if they have watched it before as it contains some useful reminders and information.

Starting Wednesday, June 30th, masks will no longer be required to be worn while using the Hadlock Student Center for either vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals. All sports and activities will resume with no distancing or modifications required. Students, employees, and members are encouraged to give each other space, when possible, and to respect the personal choice of others that choose to continue wearing masks or refraining from certain activities.

If you have any questions, please email AJ Heil (aheil@georgefox.edu).

PGE will be replacing the very old underground electrical lines that service the Murdock Library with new service lines, starting on Tuesday, July 6. The work is expected to continue through Thursday, July 8.

The library will be closed during this time, as there will be no electricity to the building. It should reopen on Friday, July 9. Questions? Contact Plant Services at plantservices@georgefox.edu.

Due to the predicted high temperatures expected next week, we will not be serving the taqueria on the Bridge Café patio on Monday, June 28, or Tuesday, June 29. Instead, we will be offering some new made-to-order sandwich concepts in the café on those two days.

On Wednesday, June 30, the Bridge Café will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., but there will be no lunch offered on the patio. Instead, we encourage you to attend the Staff Development Committee’s annual summer barbecue on the quad that day from noon to 1 p.m. The cost is $5, and all university employees, including student employees and faculty, are invited.

Questions? Contact Lisa Miles at lmiles@georgefox.edu.

This weekend we are expecting record-setting temperatures Saturday through Monday. To best protect our equipment, Plant Services will be shutting off the large air conditioning systems for Saturday and Sunday. Bauman Auditorium is hosting an event until 2 p.m. on Saturday, so the air conditioning will be shut down after the event.

By turning these systems off, if a power event (such as a brownout) occurs over the weekend, the university’s equipment will not be affected. By taking these steps, the university will not be contributing to a large power draw over the weekend, either.

We will bring the systems back online on Monday, June 28. The systems affected are in:

• Canyon Commons
• Duke Athletic Center
• EHS
• Hadlock Student Center
• Hoover
• Klages Center
• Lemmons Center
• Murdock Library
• Roberts Center
• Ross Center
• Stevens Center
• Thomas Center
• Wheeler Sports Center
• Wood-Mar Hall

Air conditioning in the lobby areas of the following buildings will also be shut off:

• Brandt Hall
• Edwards Hall
• Newlin Hall
• Sutton Hall

Please contact Plant Services (plantservices@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions. Thank you!

Thank you for continuing to wear a face covering when shopping at the Bruin Community Pantry’s food bank. We would prefer that our volunteers not be required to ask each person to show proof of vaccination. Considering the small space, we want to be able to keep everyone safe, so face coverings will continue to be required to access the food bank.

Thank you for your cooperation. Contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.

The Oregon Health Authority has changed guidance that now allows us to not track user data so closely and will allow us to indefinitely relax these guidelines. We will continue the use of IMLeagues reservations for top rope climbing hours, climbing classes, and fitness classes.

Please note that our summer hours for Hadlock are Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. We look forward to seeing you at Hadlock and encourage you to still say “hi” when you check in!

Beginning Monday, June 14, Stoffer Stadium, Lemmons Family Field and the track surface will be closed for use through the estimated completion date of Aug. 10.

The current track surface is being demolished and replaced, so it’s essential that nobody is on the track throughout the project. Additionally, please be cautious in the areas surrounding the track (Carleton Way and Bauman parking lot), as construction equipment will be operating the duration of the project.

We look forward to reopening the facility in August with a brand new surface. Thank you for your cooperation! 

Contact Adam Puckett (apuckett@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Yamhill County is dropping back down into the moderate risk level, per Oregon Health Authority guidelines. Starting today (Monday), the Hadlock Student Center will now be allowing pick-up basketball games and other “full contact” sports and activities.

At this time, however, we are still requiring masks for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. We expect distancing and mask requirements to go away once Oregon reaches 70% vaccination status and the state government gives the go-ahead to do so.

Another change happening as a result of the dropping risk level is that we will now be allowing guest passes to resume for patrons of the center. Please see the policy below and contact AJ Heil (aheil@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions in this regard.

Guest Passes

Following are the guidelines for guest passes.

• Daily guest passes can be purchased for $7 by anyone 18 or older.
• The guest must be accompanied by a student, employee or member possessing either a valid George Fox ID card or other Hadlock Student Center membership card.
• The guest must be accompanied by their sponsor throughout the duration of their time using the facility. Guests are limited to five visits per month.
• Approved guests will need to complete the guest waiver before entry to the HSC.
• A guest pass allows guests to use the facility and also participate in group fitness classes, climbing wall classes, and climbing competitions. Registration for these activities is required through IMLeagues.
• At this time, the guest pass does NOT allow access to outdoor recreation trips and activities, intramural sports, and special events offered by Campus Recreation (unless otherwise specified).
• To use equipment in the facility (like basketballs and climbing shoes) the sponsor must check out the equipment for their guest. However, a membership or guest pass is NOT required to rent outdoor equipment from the HSC Rental Center.

Campus Recreation will occasionally allow access to the facilities for visiting individuals and limited-duration employees or volunteers who do not qualify for a George Fox ID card. Contact the director of campus recreation to discuss the specifics of your situation.
