discovered that utility lines ran un- M
derneath the ground where the^|
foundation was to be built. This
problem resulted in the new, over-
head walkway.
“In all, we are all very pleased
with the result,” he said.
Hansen said she hopes stu-jB
dents will attend the open house to
achieve an idea of what type of
sciences classes will be offered for
the coming year. This service
from the department would be par-
ticularly helpful for those students
who are not sure which science®
class to take, she said. W
“We will have demonstrations
from the different classes for the
students to take part in,” she said.
“The students can come in and
take part in a biology, chemistry or _
geology lab and get an idea of®
what to expect in their lab work.”
At 2:30 p.m., the ribbon cut- 1
ting ceremony will begin, fol- '
lowed by tours of the new build-
ing.
The ceremony will occur out-»
side between the Health and®
Physical Education Building and |
the new science wing. In case of "
bad weather, the ceremony will be
moved inside to room 267.
“The campus is changing to
meet the needs of the community,” M
she said. ®

The Future, one of the web-
page options, envisions a world
where applying for federal student
aid is simple, without forms, wait-
ing in long lines, and running
around to answer questions.
This web-site gives instruc-
tions on steps for students to use in
applying for a loan from their com-
puter.
Designed and implemented by
federal, state, school and private
participants, Project EASI allows
the student to be at the center of
(continued from page 1)
but for the past week or two, it has
been closer to 2,000.”
INS officials said many people
are trying to file for permanent resi-
dency thinking they will not be able to
do so since the law has passed.
Changes that will be taking place
include expediting removal of immi-
grants, making it much more difficult
for undocumented immigrants to re-
main or return to the country and
changing procedures for applying for
political asylum, according to The
Dallas Morning News.
Ligon told The Dallas Morning
News the law that allows people, such
as spouses of U.S. Citizens, to pay a
$1,000 fine and file for residency
without having to leave the country,
will remain in effect until Tuesday,
Sept. 30, and could be extended.
In March 1996, immigrants ac-
counted for almost one in 10
American residents, which is the liigh-
est percentage in more than 50 years.
In 1996, Texas ranked seventh
among the states with 11.1 percent of
its population having come from an-
other country, according to the Census
Bureau data.
to a close family member who is a
U.S. Citizen or legal permanent resi-
dent.
The law also stated undocument-
ed immigrants who unlawfully spend
180 days here after April 1 will face
three years of deportation and 10
years if they stay over a year.
Anabelle Garay, South Campus
student, said it is ridiculous how much
immigrants have to pay for forms.
Garay said she and her husband
stood in line at the INS for hours
while it was pouring down rain. She
eventually got fed up and decided to
leave.
Garay decided to go ahead and
get married so her parents would not
have to go through the trouble of fil-
ing for residency.
The INS told people there is no
reason for people to rush to the INS
office.
Lynn Ligon, one INS spokesman,
told The Dallas Morning News most
of the people coming to the INS are
wanting to sponsor immediate rela-
tives for permanent residency.
Ligon said, “On an average day,
we see between 500 to 1,000 people;
“These are hard times for the college
and as far as the budget is concerned. We
are trying to find $2 million. One way for
us to find money is to cut in the operating
budget,” he said.
Currently, NE Campus has 85 student
assistants; NW, 82; South, 73; and SE, 44.
Students assistants are paid from de-
partmental operating budgets. To be eligi-
ble, a student must be enrolled in at least
12 semester hours.
Mary Beth Lampe, chair of Computer
Science on South Campus, was upset she
had to eliminate all the students assistants
in the lab.
“I didn’t like it (letting them go) at all.
I don’t like being told you have a budget
and then you don’t,” she said, referring
that she had stayed within her salary bud-
get for the year.
Dr. Tom Stover, interim president on
NE Campus, said, “The cuts are the deci-
Mahila Ebrahim, who is from
Pakistan, said, “I have not been affect-
ed, and I do not see any reason why I
will be. None of my family wants to
move here, so I do not see why I
would be affected.”
According to the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram, advocates for immigrants
maintain the INS is violating the law
and the intent of Congress by not or-
dering immigration officers to inform
people routinely of their right to apply
for asylum and consult with an attor-
ney.
Anna Cunningham, instructor of
special projects on South Campus,
said, “All my students are immigrants,
and I have not heard them say any-
thing about this new law affecting
them.”
When proposition 182 in
California was going on, the class was
pretty hot, Cunningham said.
The INS said immigrants will be
told of that right at a point in the
process called “secondary inspection.”
In September 1996, a law made it
easier to deport illegal immigrants un-
less they can prove their removal
would cause extraordinary tribulation
the assistance of the math lab may have
some difficulty.
“Students won’t be getting much at-
tention. Students will have to make ap-
pointments and visit with their professors
for help, which many do not like doing,”
she said.
Jeffery Allen, electrical engineer and
math major who still works in the lab, said
students who were cut had very little notice.
“They might have known a little morb
than 24 hours,” he said.
“Some of the students are thinking
about getting together to write a letter to
the chancellor saying we don’t want the
cuts to go any farther.”
Darlage said he would not like the
cuts to go any farther either.
“Our budgets are really driven by the
enrollment. When it goes down, so does
the budget, so we need to improve there,”
he said.
Viewing of Child scheduled

said. ™
While the plans were being
redrawn to accommodate the num-
ber of rooms, more problems arose
concerning access for disabled
students and location of the build- _

Original plans were for the "

The enrollment for Spring 1997 is
greater than Spring 1996, Darlage said, in-
dicating the college is moving in the right
direction.
Ron Morgan, chair of Health and
Physical Education, had to decide whether
to buy chemicals for the pool or keep his
student assistant.
Morgan said the chemicals would
serve all students in the swimming class-
es.
Mike Matthews, division chair of
Humanities on NW, said, “We have had to
lay off some students. We have areas
where students are needed; but because of
the budget cuts, our hands are tied.”
Matthews said the departments are
being asked to request work-study students
for next semester.
“We are being asked to seek assistance
through work study rather than student as-
sistants,” he said. “The problem with that

is that some students are excluded from ■
working because they don’t qualify for fi-
nancial aid.”
Work study is given to students on a
need-based system.
Lisa Seals, director of Financial Aid
on NW, said it is not new that departments ■
ask for work study students. W
“Each semester we send out letters to
the departments asking them how many
workers they will need and what their du-
ties will be,” she said. “This will help
them (the departments) because the fund- _
ing for the students comes from the federal ■
government.” W
The division chairs on SE Campus
were not aware that students were cut on
that campus.
Pert Durapau, director of Student
Services, said, “I wasn’t aware of any lay m
offs. At this point, it really hasn’t affected®
us.”
Surfing net option for aid
Students in need of financial
aid can now obtain loans by surf-
ing the net.
EASI (Easy Access for
Students and Institutions) provides
a web-site with step-by-step op-
tions to explain planning for educa-
tion, applying to schools, receiving
financial aid and repaying loans.
According to this web-site,
Project EASI is a collaborative ef-
fort among a diverse group of gov-
ernment, business and education
leaders.
sions of the department chairman. They
cut what they want. There are no red
lines.”
Student assistants working in the NE
Campus math lab were reduced from 10 to
three as a result of the cuts.
Josef Brown, an instructional assistant
in the lab, said the decision to cut the stu-
dents toward the end of the semester was a
tough thing to do.
“My option was to close even earlier
in the evening, but that wouldn’t be fair to
the night students who need help,” he said.
“I can understand why (the budget has
been cut), but it doesn’t make it easier.”
As a result, the hours of the math lab
have been reduced.
Brown said, “I had to cut 14 hours.
We are closed two hours earlier and now
completely closed Friday.”

Mathematics on NE, said those needing
