Program recognizes outstanding KU women
34 faculty, students awarded for University contributions
by Merceda Ares Kansan staff writer
Thirty-four faculty and student women were recognized for contributions made to the University of Kansas and the community at the annual Women's Recognition program last night at the Kansas Union.
The women were chosen by the seven-member Commission on the Status of Women
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that women on campus still were under-represented.
"For the first time since 1945, women now outnumber men in the student body, but yet there underrepresentation in student positions," he said. "There have not been any who have been presidents of classes."
Ardra Tippett, who received the award for outstanding woman student in student services, said it felt good to be appreciated.
"I had no idea," said Holley, student body vice president. "When they started mentioning different things, I thought, I wonder who that is?"
"You get so burned out, and you get frustrated when you feel people don't care," said Tippett, Lawrence sophomore. "But then you get an even more frustrated student, ciated. It makes you ready to go out there and conquer next year."
Pam Holley, who received the outstanding woman student leadership award, was surprised.

which sponsored the awards.
Angela Woolf, who received the award that recognized a woman who made a contribution in the Gertrude R. Pearson Hall, also was surprised.
But the surprise didn't end there.
"I got a letter in the mail and it said I received some kind of award, but I didn't know why." said Woolf, Independence senior.
“When I got back to my seat with the award, I opened it and thought it was going to be a certificate, and it was a check for $250,” she said.
All students received $250 for their awards. Faculty received certificates and flowers.
Fumiko Yamamoto had to wait a little longer than the rest to receive her flowers.
Yamamoto, who received the out-standing woman teacher award, did not arrive at the program on time and was not aware she was a winner.
"I'm very honored, and I'm really grateful for all the support from faculty and staff," she said as associate professor of East Asian languages and culture.

Lawrence sister search narrowed to two cities
Kansan staff writer
by Christine Winner
The two cities in the running to be Lawrence's sister are Eutin, West Germany and Chamailleres, France. Lawrence currently has no sister cities.
Sisters usually trade clothes and secrets, but when Lawrence adopts as sister city, students and cultural groups will be exchanged instead.
"When they go into it they do it very seriously," she said. "Some add sister cities like charms on a charm bracelet."
Sandy Praeger, who formed the Lawrence Sister City Committee when she was mayor, visited Chama-na and wrote a letter of thanks of about 35,000 in central France.
Sister cities
Praeger said KU had an exchange program with a university in the nearby town of Clermont-Ferrand. The university, where he has been coming to KU for 25 to 30 years.
Lawrence and Chamalières have been trying to arrange the sister relationship for more than a year. A delegation from Chamalières was scheduled to visit last fall, but its trip was canceled because of the mayor's resignation.
"It it's not we don't want it to happen. It's just the wheels of machinery grind more slowly in France," said Mary Johnson, instructor in French and member of Friends of Chamailieres.
Eutin is the other city Lawrence may adopt. Founded in the 13th century, it is concerned with balancing economic growth with conservation. He serves the center of the city, said William Keel, associate professor of German.
Lawrence has plans to adopt a sister city and has narrowed the choices to two. The two contending cities are in France and West Germany.
Keel said a delegation from the city was scheduled to visit Lawrence late in October. Since 1966, more than 400 atlantic schools had attended its summer institute, he said.

"Sister cities serve as a framework to enable groups with similar interest to interact and to gain knowledge of another's culture." Keel said.
City amends ordinance for zoning

The Lawrence City Commission last night amended the city's zoning ordinance regarding large areas of land that are to be developed as one entity for combined uses. The commission also opened discussion on a rezoning request for a residential complex.
The commission unanimously approved a text amendment that would require developers to present only a statement of intent with their requests as opposed to a detailed development plan.
the current zoning ordinance requires developers to present a detailed plan when requesting zoning changes for planned unit development districts, said Price Banks, city plans department. Zoning decisions are made in depth plans without knowing whether the commission will approve the request. Banks said.
The amendment will allow the city to zone property with only the statement of intent. Preliminary development plans and final plans could be presented at a later date.
Marci Francisco, representing the League of Women Voters, agreed that the preliminary development plans contained some details that were not necessary when considering zoning.
The commission also opened discussion on a rezoning request for a proposed residential complex to be located on approximately 45 acres near 31st Street and Kasold Drive.
Until 1986, the land was enclosed as a flood plain. The proper shape of the land remained since development for smaller farms.
The rezoning would allow development of a 10-
building, 282-unit apartment complex on the west side of Yankee Tank Creek and 35 single-family units on the east side.
Residents of adjacent neighborhoods have
expressed concern that construction on the property could cause the creek to flood.
Golden Valley Inc. the developer, hired an engineering firm to examine the possibilities of
A group of property owners in the area has contracted to purchase part of the property in an effort to stop the construction on the east side of the creek.
In other action, commissioners voted unanimously to begin meetings at 6:30 p.m. and adjourn at 10:30 p.m. in an effort to control the length of commission meetings.
Initial presentations to the commission still will be allowed 15 minutes and other speakers still will have five minutes to present their opinions. Time for presentations will be provided with four favorable votes from the commission.
The change will take effect with the May 2 meeting.
Jobs available on campus for summer

Working on campus during the summer has its advantages, said Julie Cooper, assistant director of student employment.
One advantage is that students can live in Lawrence and work full time, Cooper said. That could mean saving money to someone who has a 12-month lease that runs through the summer.
Although the number of jobs decrease during the summer, Cooper said many jobs were still available. Cumious minimum wage is $3.50.
Students working on campus are either a part of the work-study financial aid program or classified as a loan. Students have no connections to financial aid.
to receive financial aid, they must file an ACT Family Financial Aid packet. A student's financial need, or eligibility, is determined by subtracting the cost of tuition from the student's and parents' contributions.
There are more students looking for student hourly jobs than there are students looking for work study jobs, Cooper said.
For work-study students, summer offers more opportunity to make money. Cooper said that during the academic year, work-study students could spend up to 20 hours a week. During the summer they could work 40 hours a week.
To determine if a student qualifies
"Summer is the only time students can earn more than their eligibility. Cooper said. It also is the only time students can be part of the work

Many offices on campus are more eager to hire work-study students because the federal government pays 80 percent of the student's salary. The federal government will pay 75 percent of the department's 25 percent.
Carol Cooper, employment manager for the student housing department, said the department employed
both work-study and student-hourly students.
As a fee-funded department, student housing operates completely from the money it generates. Cooper said.
"We don't have as tight of constraints on our money as other departments have," she said.
Approximately 150 positions will be available for this summer, Cooper said. The department is hiring people for its custodial, paint, maintenance, and desk assistant and security monitor crews, she said.
Students seeking summer employment should refer to the bulletin boards in the basement of Strong and to the Student Financial Aid Office.
