Grateful for those in Confress
who DID try to keep DeVos
out. And even more grateful
for the teachers in my life who
deserve better.
Though it won’t a come
as a surprise to many, a
new University of Michigan
publicationfound most people
pass waiting time by using their
cell phones.
The study, released Monday
afternoon, is co-authored by
Daniel Kruger, a research
assistant professor at the
University. Kruger’s study —
conducted in restaurants and
lobbies across Ann Arbor —
found that 62 percent of people
waiting for a beverage or food, at
a bus stop, or in a waiting room
used their cell phones to pass the
time, with 55 percent of people
began using their phone in less
than 10 seconds.
“Some of our questions
include, ‘How does usage of
cell phones relate to people’s
interactions in real-life social
space?’ “ Kruger told Michigan
News. “The best way to answer
certain kinds of questions may be
through observational methods.”
By using information from
the service providers, Kruger
found college students are on
their phones up to five hours
every day, but also paid attention
to the social contexts in which
students use their phones.
“The accuracy of self-
reported cell phone usage rates
has been called into question
as it only moderately correlated
with objective server log data,”
the study reads.
According to the Michigan
News release, Kruger envisions
his findings as part of a bigger
picture issue of the effects of cell
phone use on social interactions.
“If everyone is stuck to their
screens, they’re not going to be
interacting with other people
around them,” Kruger said. “Are
people going to be losing their
social skills because they just
don’t interact with other people,
especially strangers? It has
very real implications for social
cohesion and social capital at a
larger societal level, if people
just aren’t talking to each other.”

Mila Versteeg, Law Professor at the University of Virginia, discusses the impact of consti-
tutional rights at the School of Social Work on Tuesday.
L AW LECTURE
The death of a loved one,
the grief of never being able
to see a loved one’s corpse and
knowing their final wish was
never granted were all topics
discussed in the panel “Six
Feet Over, Six Feet Under”
Tuesday
evening
in
the
Michigan Union.
The panel featured experts
on the laws and measures
surrounding
death
and
palliative care — health care
directed at making the lives
of individuals with a terminal
illness feel more comfortable.
The
experts
dispelled
misconceptions
surrounding
hospice and discussed the
importance
of
advance
directives — legal documents
specifying actions to be taken
on an individual when they
can no longer make decisions.
Attorney Rebecca Wrock
mentioned that putting off
advance
directives
creates
many consequences after the
death has occurred. If students
die and their parents have
not taken the proper advance
directives, the parents might
not be allowed to see their
children
before
days
of
government intervention.
Merilynne
Rush,
a
registered nurse, invoked the
Sandy Hook tragedy as a prime
example of how not attending
to advance directives can be
devastating to a family.
“This is what the families
of the Sandy Hook Elementary
School victims had to face,”
Rush
said.
“The
parents
couldn’t see their children
until
their
bodies
were
forensically examined by the
government.”
Rush also discussed hospice
and
its
role
in
palliative
care. Rush said a common
misconception is that hospice
is like giving up on life, but
it is really about making the
last years of a people’s lives
more comfortable and even
extending their lives.
The panel also discussed
how, while it is clear not
preparing for such situations
could bode consequences for
families, many people still
avoid them because of their
lack of acknowledgement of
death.
Wrock
said
the
topic
of
death
makes
people
uncomfortable,
leading
them to avoid talking about
it. She added that most of
the
logistics
surrounding
death and its aftermath are
unknown to the public.
Business
junior
Greg
Graham
mentioned
how
important it is for students
to have this knowledge as
it greatly affects them and
their families.
“It affects all of us and
our families and there are
certainly a lot of people
in our college who have
grandparents
who
are
starting
to
go
through
medical
issues,”
Graham
said. “It would definitely
be helpful for students and
their families to have this
sort of knowledge.”
