CAMPUS NEWS • Hill community members share opinions on new masking policy: On Tuesday, Feb. 8, Hill shifted to a recommended masking policy, marking a significant step in the school’s efforts to return to normalcy. Although students will continue to be required to wear masks in crowded areas like the Chapel and Dining Hall pantry, they will now be given a choice to unmask in classrooms. Hill employees, however, are still able to regulate masking within their individual spaces and have the ability to mandate masks in their classrooms or offices if they wish to.
For some teachers, Pennsylvania’s declining COVID-19 cases and Hill’s high vaccination rates have made unmasking in classrooms feel much safer. Athey Family Master of Mathematics and Science Jay Spencer explained that he is comfortable with Hill’s mask-recommended policy and feels that Hill has so far managed COVID-19 cases on campus well enough to do so.”

OPINION • You should want to save the reefs: Coral reefs are the breeding grounds of the ocean. They may make up only a small 1% of the ocean’s span, but they are home toa quarter of all marine species. Much of the next generation of marine life resides in coral reefs because of the abundant food supply and natural protection against large predators. These natural nurseries are made up of coral polyps, beautiful structures supported by their skeletons of calcium carbonate, that attach to the shallow seafloor. Corals also have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, a type of algae that supplies the coral food in return for a safe home.

However, in light of global warming, the general temperature of the ocean is getting warmer. The exponential increase in greenhouse gas emissions over the past three decades has caused slight increases in oceanic temperature...”
