Women Bankers? Certainly Says Betty Lou- Why Not?
COEDS' CORNER
She probably won't throw any widows out in the snow but Betty Lou Sharp wants to be a banker.
"The ambition hit me a year ago," she related, "when I took a job in the First National bank at Dighton. Most people are scared to death their first day—guess it's the idea of being near so much money that bothers them. But I liked it. I did filing, worked as teller, made reports, sold war bonds, and did bookkeeping."
"Before long, I decided by best future lay in banking. You can pick up the fundamentals through practical experience, but I knew I needed both the general and specific knowledge of college training. That's why I'm here," she said.
Betty's home is in Dighton—a Kansas town of "about 1,000 including the ducks and chickens," she laughs.
Following graduation, Betty attended the Emporia State Teachers college for a time, but decided against teaching as a future. She,
"I was sort of the 'odds and ends' girl. My main job was in the office of the treasurer and the registrar of deeds, but there were spare moments when I helped out the probate judge."
"Even now, when I'm enjoying KU, I want to be back in a bank, preferably as a bookkeeper. It was fascinating to break up those enormous figures, reassemble them, and come out with the right answer."
If "Bet" is a sign of the times, trying to borrow money will be a pleasure.

Explorers' Reports Help Today's Problems
BLUE MILL
1009 Mass.
Explorers of 100 years ago didn't realize they would help solve the problems of the atomic age, according to James Malin, professor of history.
In his discussions of "The Grasslands" Tuesday before the Linnean club, he pointed out that Fremont and others in their descriptions of explorations across Kansas in the 1840's have provided the scientist with facts from which to study present day conservation and agricultural problems.
"It is because of these problems of grass association, conservation, and agriculture that I find a great deal of interest in analyzing descriptions of earlier explorers," he said.
