The Daily Bruin

Do you like superheroes? Supervillains? Or webcomics unrelated to superpowers?

Then we got the perfect place for you: Fox’s very own Comic Book Club! Whether you’ve been reading comics all your life or you’ve never seen one in person, we’d love to have you join us.

We talk about the current comic book and pop culture news, comics we’ve read as a group, and eat snacks! Starting this Thursday, join us weekly in Lemmons 12 at 7 p.m. We also have a Zoom option!

The GET Food mobile app is available from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. every weekday in the Bon and from 7:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. every weekday in the Bridge. Keep an eye out for more items being added all the time.

Meeting new people can be exciting, but be aware that there are people with bad intentions who do use dating apps like Tinder,  Bumble, or the many other social meeting apps.

A victim of a crime is never at fault and should not be blamed for their actions. For those who would like to know what precautions they can take in order to reduce the risk of victimization, we offer the following tips:

• If you plan to meet a stranger either on campus or off campus via an online app, let someone know where you are going, who you are meeting, your expected meeting time, and how long you plan on visiting.
• If you feel comfortable doing so, bring a friend along for the first meeting.
• Meet in a public setting that is well lit with others around and drive your own transportation if necessary.
• Do not get in a vehicle with someone you just met.
• Remember, if you ever start to feel uncomfortable, you have the right to end the meeting and leave.

Safety escorts are available through Campus Public Safety 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. If you feel unsafe, please call our office so that we can escort you to your destination (503-554-2090).

A group of students will be gathering tomorrow (Sunday) to do morning prayer together. If you are looking for an on-campus worship option or looking for spiritual community, we would love you to join! We’ll be meeting at 11:45 a.m. at the fire pit pavilion.

Please contact Cana Buckley (cbuckley17@gmail.com) if you plan on coming. (There may be changes due to weather conditions.)

As the unhealthy air quality on campus continues, today’s (Friday) Summer Nights on the Quad and Movie on the Lawn will most likely be postponed to Friday, Sept. 25, weather permitting.

The CDC recently changed its guidelines requiring all individuals who: a) spent at least 15 minutes with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, and b) was closer than six feet apart to be quarantined for 14 days, regardless of if you had a face covering on.

Therefore, if you want to stay healthy and keep your freedom, stay six feet apart!

If you could teach someone about COVID-19 and the quarantine 100 years from now, what would you share? What records and artifacts would you give them to learn from? In 100 years where would historians find these records?

The George Fox University Archives invites submissions from students and employees that share your COVID-19 story. Some questions to reflect on may include:

• How has this pandemic impacted your life?
• What has this experience been like for you?
• Do you have photos or videos that show what life has been like during this time?

Sharing your experiences now will help people in the future understand what life was like during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit our dedicated page to learn more about submitting your story.

Proper eating and drinking hygiene with a face covering permits removal or temporarily shifting the face covering while you eat or drink, but the face cover needs to be worn again as soon as feasible.

This is particularly important if you are drinking water or coffee in class. Please respect others around you by re-masking as soon as possible after eating or drinking.

Contact cot@georgefox.edu with any questions.
