Issue 14 Grund \illlc*\ State l niu‘rsit\ December S. 1993 Signs of the season: GVSU's emergency closing procedures

Winter has arrived and severe weather is likely to follow. The Grand Valley State University emergency policy is as follows. Grand Valley State University will close all or part of its operations only in case of extreme emergency caused by impassible roads, violent weather, energy loss, or other conditions seriously endangering the health and safety of students, faculty and staff. Normally the Eberhard Center will close only when the Allendale campus is closed. Announcement of closing will be made over the following area stations. For a more detailed update on campus conditions and area roads, tune to the Grand Valley State radio stations, WGVU- FM 88.5 and WGVU-AM1480. Every effort will be made to make the decision to close so that the announcement can be made over the stations as early as possible, but no later than 7 a.m. for daytime classes, and 3 p.m. for evening classes. Students, faculty and staff should assume the university is open unless they hear otherwise on the radio or television. They are asked not to call the GVSU switchboard to ask about closings.

For approximately 15 years the computer science program has been a division of the math department. Through a unanimous vote by the computer science faculty and support from the math faculty, the computer science program became its own department at the beginning of the fall ‘93 semester. Before the separation, the department was too big to function effectively, according to Carl Erickson, mistantprofersorof computer science. “The math and computer sciences division was bigger than the Seidman School of Business,” Erickson said. The department received its first National Sciences Foundation grant of $38,000 plus a matched amount to total $76,000. The grant will be used to create a lab for senior level courses. No additional funds were given to the computer science program upon separation. "This split means many fantastic things for the computer science program, as well as for the math program,” Erickson said. Student enrollment in both programs is expected to increase because of the focus it will bring to each department. The faculty is also working on graduate studies for computer science. The biggest advantage of the new department is 2 hours having a chairperson whose primary interest lies only in the computer science department, Erickson said.
