Women honored for contributions
Thirty-three women were honored last night at the annual Women's Recognition Program.
The program, sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, honored women for the many roles they fill at the University.
their friends and families, who were packed into the Kansas Room at the Kansas Union.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the women's resource center and adviser to the commission, stressed the importance of the awards to the crowd of honorees,
"These awards are chosen by students," she said. "That enhances the meaning of the awards given tonight. We have a lot to celebrate."
Eighteen women were recognized as outstanding women in organized living communities, including six sororities, six residence halls, four scholarship halls, Jayhawk Towers and Stouffer place.
Ten women were chosen for awards such as Outstanding Woman Student in Athletics, Outstanding International Woman Student and Outstanding Woman Staff Member. Two students received Alma Poehler Brook awards, awarded to students involved in GSP-Corbin Hall. Three women were inducted into the

Women's Hall of Fame.
"I am honored to be recognized as an Outstanding Woman Student in a Sorority," she said. "I am thrilled that I was invited to attend the ceremony."
The ceremony was also somewhat of a learning tool — a sort of who's who among KU women, Kaufman said.
"The ceremony was really neat," she said. "We were introduced to many women of KU who all contribute in unique ways."
Rose-Mockry made a point to thank and recognize women who were not present at the event — the nominators of the honorees, who must spend large amounts of time on the applica-

"It takes a lot of work on the part of the nominator to nominate these women," Rose-Mockry said.
Toni-Marie Montgomery, the keynote speaker at the event and dean of fine arts, told the crowd that, in her experience and study, she believed that women who achieve helped each other to reach some of their most prized goals.
"These women have been lifted over the years," she said. "In order to reach those goals, these women have been climbing."
Drive-offs a problem at local gas stations

High prices may be why some don't pay

Jason Senecau has never driven off from a gas station without paying, but he said it could be tempting.
Sherrie James, assistant manager of the Kwik Shop at 15th Street and Kasold Drive, said drive-offs were an unpredictable but constant part of working at a gas station.
"You always want to. You always think about it," said the Girard sophomore. "But as far as seriously doing it, I've always been afraid of the consequences."
prices went up. He said he was not aware of any other trends.
"We go through spells where we don't have any, and then we go through spells with two or three a day," she said.
James said people never drove off when no one else was pumping gas

Instead, they drive off when one attendant is working and is overwhelmed with customers.
But the consequences don't deter everyone.

Det. John Lewis of the Lawrence Police Department said police typically received two or three reports daily from gas stations because people had driven off without paying. He said it seemed like the drive-offs increased every time gas

James said a light notified the cashier that a customer hadn't paid eight minutes after the pump shut off. By then, she said, it was not always realistic to call the police.
"People are smart," she said. "The camera doesn't go to all the pumps. They know which pumps to use."
The Kwik Shop at 19th and
Massachusetts streets has a public service announcement sticker on pumps from the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association for Kansas that's designed to deter drive-offs.
The sticker, which shows a picture of a law enforcement officer holding a driver's license, states
that under Kansas House Bill 2883,
"... if you don't pay for your gas,
you could lose your driver's
license."
James said the funniest part of the drive-offs was that most of them were small amounts of about $3 or $4.
