JUST ONE SLICE—Campus lecture-style rooms have been cut down to less than half their original capacity to follow the proper safety standards, like this space in McClintock Hall. Many rooms in this hall were not labeled for their capacity unlike other buildings on campus. Though students are properly spaced out in the lecture hall, there is no plexiglass for students except in front of the professors desk, unlike what is advertised on NMU’s Safe on Campus webpage.](https://thenorthwindonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/6E5CC2E0-21A5-4CD9-AB96-721C5A5A134F-1024x768.jpg)
