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.”

ON THE DAILY: HOTLINE BLING

HALEY MCLAUGHLIN/Daily

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.”
