COED'S CORNER
'Marty' Laffer Rides 'Satan,' Likes Horses And Dogs
If you can't locate Martha "Marty" Laffer at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, she's probably out riding the spirited horse, "Satan."
Marty, who comes from Wichita, developed her equestrienne interests during her freshman year. Since then she's been helping with the K.U. riding classes, and has been president of the Spur club since it was organized in 1945.
Besides horses, Marty likes dogs; music, dramatics, and "big, thick, jule steaks."
Kappa Social Chairman
She sings in the Women's Glee club and is a member of the University players. Her friendly personality makes it easy to see why the Kappas chose her as social chairman.
The Hill is a tradition in the Laffer family. Marty's father, brother, and sister are all University graduates.
Marty, a junior, is majoring in personnel management. "I chose that because I like being around people," she explained. "Td like to work in the personnel department of some store after I graduate."
This summer she's going to do that kind of work as a requirement for one of her major courses, and then she's going to San Francisco to visit her sister.
To Work In Personnel
Marty, who is five feet five inches tall, has neat dark hair parted in the middle.
She says, "I have a secret ambition. I want to live out in some open place and own a lot of dogs and horses."
For anyone who looks as natural on a horse as Marty does, that's not a strange wish.
