The Lamar staff wanted to
implement the program as soon as
possible and did not wait for the
grant to come through.
“Before we received funding, a
team of faculty members devised a
pilot program for the summer ses-
sion. We began to route 25 nursing
students into the STEP IN pro-
grams. We will enroll another 25
students next summer,” Green said.
STEP IN impacts students at
two levels: pre-nursing and nurs-
ing. The pre-nursing course is
called “Step in to Science,” and the
nursing course is called “Step in to
Nursing,” she said.
“Step in to Science” enhances
study, personal and social support
skills and develops the conceptual
framework and science content
knowledge to succeed in pre-nurs-
ing and nursing courses.
It also develops the ability to
think critically and solve scientific
• -problems.
“Step in to Nursing” enhances
skills necessary to assimilate into
nursing culture and identifies val-
ues related to nursing success.
It also provides support during
high risk transition periods.
Some of the ways the nursing
department plans to help disadvan-
taged students include support
courses, academic advising and
counseling, financial counseling
and aid, standardized tests, tutor-
ing, peer support, work-study pro-
grams, and faculty development
In the faculty development
department, faculty members will
travel to national meetings, attend
the Gray mill Foundation Gender
and Ethnic Expectations and
Student Achievement Program and
receive GESA training in on-site
workshops.
STEP IN was designed to bene-
fit disadvantaged students and fac-
ulty members as well,” Green said.

assessed at $15 per semester for
summer semesters.
The funds generated by the fee
would be deposited in a revenue
account separate from any other
funds collected by the Lamar
University System.
The fee would automatically be
discontinued if the level of educa-
tional and general support funds
and Higher Education Assistance
Fund monies were to drop below
current budget funds provided in
the fiscal year 1994 budget.
The current level of funding for
library support from the E&G fund
is set at 2.6 percent and HEAF pro-
vided $700,000 in funding.
All further stipulations called
for in SGA resolution GR-F93-01
apply to the implementation of this
fee.
“I would like to see the referen-
dum passed,” said SGA Vice
President Lana Leake. “ This is one
fee that will benefit students direct-
ly.”
“With the stipulations listed in
GR-F93-01, the students can actu-
ally monitor their money and see it
used properly,” Leake said.

Booth said he has dealt with
other people who have experienced
some of the same problems.
These cases are but a microview
of the spectrum of working stu-
dents in the nation.
What concessions do students
living this double life have to make
in order to get everything out of the
college experience? Many students
have had to forfeit any form of
social life on campus other than in
the classroom because of their
financial, responsibilities.
At the State University of New
York at Buffalo, Dodge said “stu-
dents say their jobs are cutting
down on the time they have to
study and take part in extracurricu-
lar activities.” In 1991, these
SUNY students were facing a 30
percent increase in in-state tuition.
“There’s just not enough time
for a social life — even a private
social life,” Felix said. “That’s one
of the reasons for pushing myself
through school.” Because she has
children, there are lots of future
things she wants to get involved in.
Because more and more students
are Finding tuition rates out of their
league, they make concessions in
living and eating arrangements.
Dodge reported some students
find they are living more frugally
by living in inexpensive off-cam-
pus apartments instead of dorms,
and by eating macaroni aiid cheese
instead of pizza. Still others, Dodge
found, seek used books over new
ones and put off buying books until
a reading assignment comes up on
the syllabus.
Education, Melendy Nebbs, Vidor
senior; and for senator-at-large,
Brandy Copley, Port Neches
sophomore, Dawn Sherri Guidry,
Bridge City senior, Stacy Hill,
Beaumont senior, and Bryce
Weathersby, Silsbee senior.
Students must have a valid stu-
dent ID or driver’s license in order
to vote.
