senior, drives a total of 291 miles a week to get to and from her job in Kansas City, Mo.
When she works full-time at her job, Scott tries to stay with friends in Kansas City during the week to save money for an
where she works but she still spends about $30 a week.
Gas prices have been cheaper
scott's employer pays her extra because she has to commute. Though Scott appreciates the extra money, it really doesn't help with added costs, she said.
The commuters said they didn't expect prices to drop anytime soon.

"Itit just seems a lot tougher for smaller houses to get recognized on campus." Pilshaw said.
Pilshaw said even though his position on the IFC was not the same after the incident, he understood why the IFC expelled the 35-member fraternity.
The board did not, however, spend enough time considering Phi Kappa Theta's appeals, he said.
"I find it absurd to think that any chapter would be dealt with differently for any reasons," he said.
He said the executive board spent almost two hours making the decision when the fraternity appealed.
"We didn't skim over it without spending due time on it," Shorten said.
IFC officials said a replacement would be chosen in the next two weeks, and would serve a half-term until November 2005.

"We try to keep cost low by contracting fuel from the bus company," Huff said. "However, when costs goes up for them, they pass it along to us."
KU on Wheels.
In the two weeks the buses ran this past December, KU on Wheels paid $1.65 a gallon in diesel. At that price the organization was saving nearly 40 cents a gallon.
Every month fuel prices are higher than the contracted price, KU on Wheels pays for the difference, Huff said. Last December the difference for two weeks came to more than $2,000 dollars difference.
Buses fill daily and buy about six to seven thousand gallons of gas every two weeks. Huff said.

"Our costs haven't really gone up too much, but we do have to make up the difference," Huff said. "We are buying it from another company and they have to recoup expenses for the difference in price."

chief of the Osage Nation. Gray, the youngest chief in Osage history, is co-publisher of the Native American Times, the largest independent Native-American newspaper.
Red Corn said Gray would speak to students about what he expects to see from them as future Native-American leaders. He will also teach them about working with government for tribal sovereignty, he said.
Other workshops include topics such as violence and abuse against indigenous women and Native-American mascots in schools. Museum tours of the
Native-American collection in Spooner Hall will also take place.
One of the major issues that the association had to deal with was raising the money needed to put on the event.
As the association's treasurer, it was up to Red Corn to find the $18,000 to $20,000 needed for the conference and the pow-wow, held at the end of the conference. The association started off the year with about $250.
He and his brother, Raymond Red Corn, Shawnee freshman, spent time writing letters and submitting proposals to different tribes to raise money. Alex Red Corn said he went in front of the Osage Tribal Council to solicit donations. Student Senate also voted to give the association
$7,350.
Along with dealing with a shortage of funds,the organization had to deal with a shortage of manpower.
With only about 10 active members, volunteers were needed to help the association prepare for the event.
Students from the University and other organizations such as Black Student Union, Asian Student Union and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization have volunteered.
Students from Haskell Indian Nations University were also invited to attend the conference.
