Also, multiple fire alarms at Stouffer Hall prompt evacuation
Monday, April 8
Good morning, Penn.
While DP Daybreak's reporting is always enlightening, our coverage may be eclipsed by the sun's today.
A music room in Stouffer Hall remains closed after multiple fire alarms forced residents to evacuate, and Vice Provost for University Life Karu Kozuma discussed student mental health at the annual State of the School event.
But first, read more about where to watch today's solar eclipse on campus.
For the first time in seven years, Penn community members will be able to view a partial solar eclipse from campus. Philadelphia will see about 90% coverage and will experience peak darkness around 3:20 p.m.
Wellness at Penn is hosting a watch party on College Green, which will include free eclipse glasses. Read more about where to watch the eclipse and students' plans for it here.

TODAY IN DP HISTORY
Design by Julia Schorr
In 2018, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School professor Amy Wax — who faced ongoing disciplinary proceedings from the University — received an award from the National Association of Scholars, an advocacy group focused on combatting a “liberal bias” in education. The award was given to Wax for her “courage in the face of continued harassment for speaking uncomfortable truths."
More recently, a Faculty Senate hearing board recommended that Penn sanction Wax, and in a March 26 interview Wax said that she was being punished for “standard conservative takes on very important social issues.”

FROM 34TH STREET MAGAZINE
Every year, the Academy Awards—and its winners and losers—consistently proves itself a source of debate as viewers argue over who was snubbed and which awards were deserved. This year remained no different, as Emma Stone’s win for Best Actress over Lily Gladstone quickly became a highly contentious moment. Street breaks down Lily Gladstone’s nuanced performance in Killers of the Flower Moon and brings a call to action to disrupt the status quo and reward authenticity over extravagance.
