By Lauren Fitch GVL News Editor Grand Valley State University faculty and staff are giving students more than lectures and assignments. For several years, faculty and staff have been donating to a campaign to fund many student scholarships in different departments. “The campaign shows how much we value what we do, ” said Mary Ann Watters, co-chair of the Faculty and Staff Campaign with Paul Stephenson. Each department has its own representative who stirs up interest and does the fundraising. About 120 volunteers are involved in organizing the campaign. Watters said 31 percent of the faculty and staff already committed a donation simply through a mailing, totaling $279,656 “(The fund) for 2008-09 GVL / Kim Miller so far. helps take Chow chat: (left to right) Freshmen Anthony Allmen, James Chittisane and Melanie Covell text friends on their cell phones while they eat dinner at Fresh Food Company Students all over GVSU's “Find a campus are constantly seen talking and texting on their cell phones Students have said cell phones are not a distraction for them in or outside the classroom, but statistics suggest otherwise some of the fund you financial worry can get attached to off (students') and support shoulders A cell phone distraction debate that,” Watters ANN WATTERS said.

f Grand Valley Lanthorn [email protected] OPINION Thursday, January 29, 2009 EDITORIAL------EDITORIAL CARTOON------Cellular distractions Cell phone use has been on the rise during the past several years; and as more and more students carry them 24/7, the distractions are becoming more prevalent than the advantages.

Taking tests or studying at the library can be stressful enough, but add a ‘Baby Got Back ” ringtone, and anxiety levels can soar through the roof. It seems everybody and their mother are carrying cell phones these days, and while they provide advantages for quick and easy communication along with safety measures, cell phone use has become a distraction to its user and the people around him or her. Have you ever been in Zumberge tryingto study when one person starts to mindlessly chat away on his or her Blackberry? It can be a GVL / Elliot Slenk nuisance and very much a distraction to the work at hand when all you can think about is the conversation you just heard about Billy cheating YOUR INSIGHTS ------on Susie. Cell phones protect us at a time when we feel like nothing else can. With the touch of a finger, we are alerted when a campus emergency Where on campus should cell phone occurs; and when we feel like the world is falling down around us, one quick dial to mom can brighten the day. use be restricted? But despite what a cell phone provides, it takes so much more away from our daily lives. Rather than being engaged in a class discussion or lecture,we ’re texting. And rather than studying at a time when we need it the most, we are conversing in meaningless conversations. College is a time for learning and earning the money you spent on the credit hours. It’s also a time to meet new people. But if your cell phone is permanently attached to your ear, how can you ever strike up a conversation with somebody new? Here’s a thought: Turn the cell phone off during class, and refrain from using it in places that uphold silence. And if you want to take "I believe cell phones "If cell phones were to "Most cell phones "I think that cell phones "I think cell phone use it one step further, you can keep the cell phone in your pocket while shouldn't be restricted be restricted anywhere, don't get reception in should be restricted in the library, computer walking between classes.
