Thoman -Roberts Marriage Announced
The announcement was received from Miller hall today of the marriage of Betty Thoman and Lawson Roberts. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents in Kansas City at 7 o'clock, last Saturday evening, February 21.
The bride wore a pale blue crepe dress and a corsage of red roses. Ruth Moritz of Marysville, who was a junior in the College last semester, was the bridesmaid for the marriage.
Those attending the marriage from the University were Dorothy Wiggins, Barbara Reber, Annette Steinle, Helen Martin, and Mrs. S. M. Stayton, housemother at Miller hall.
A reception was given for the couple immediately after the marriage ceremony.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Roberts attended the University. Mrs. Thoman, a junior in the College last semester, was an economics major.
Roberts, formerly of Lawrence, was graduated from the University in 1939 and received his master's degree in 1941. He is teaching at Troy where the couple is now living.
Woman Golfer Wants to Play For Her Country
Minneapolis, Minn.—(UP)—Patty Berg, who has played golf both for fun and for money, now hopes to play for her country.
If she recovers from injuries received in an automobile accident by summer, she will return to the links on a nation-wide tour of exhibition matches to promote sale of defense bonds.
Between now and then she is going to make a series of public announcements to urge the sale of defense bonds and ask contributions to the Red Cross war fund.
"I want to get out of this house and do everything I can to help," she told the firm which employs her. "I've had about all the sitting around I want."
Miss Berg is hobbling about with her leg in a cast.
Kneecap Fractured
Since Dec. 8 the 24-year-old golf star, who won virtually every major women's championship before she became a professional in 1940, has been confined by injuries she received in an automobile accident in Texas. Her kneecap was fractured and her face painfully lacerated.
So her employer arranged the public appearance tour, starting as soon as Miss Berg can travel.
Miss Berg doesn't expect her golf game to suffer as a result of her injury.

Redhead Wants to Enlist Singer Is Crack Shot
New York—(UP)—The big redhead—she was all of six feet swung the rifle to her shoulder and the targets keeled over in a rat-tat-a-tat of precision. About a dozen soldiers, sailors and marines, gathered in an admiring semicircle (not all for the marksmanship), said she was absolutely right.
"You see," she stated, "I'm as good a shot as any man. I'm strong, too. So why won't the government take me for sniping duty? I want to help, but knit-?
ting is out — look at these hands!"
Every night, the redhead said, she goes to a shooting gallery and competes against service men. She likes particularly the Marines who have sharpshooter medals. Night Club Singer
Night Club Singer
"I can do as well as any of them," she sighed, "but what's the use? I'm a night club singer, and I might as well face it. Everything I do they'll say is for publicity."
June Bentley is a night club singer and a very promising one, too. But she is also a crack rifle shot, whose ability (measured by her shooting gallery record) is of no mean order. Her employer, Meyer Horowitz of the Village Barn, gives her a bottle of champagne every time she hits 25 targets in a row and last
week she collected a case. Went Juail Hunting
"I'm a Texas gal," she said, "born in Weatherford, about 30 miles from Fort Worth, and I went quail hunting with my dad, Hampstead Bentley, when I was a kid. I learned to swing a gun then and I've never forgotten how. Dad used to be known as the South's sweetest tenor' on the minstrel stage, but he could certainly handle a rifle.
"And this argument that girls are too weak to serve in the armed forces. Well, I don't expect to be called up to the front, but I should think that they would be preparing to line up some hard-shootin' women ust in case."
Miss Bentley's 150 pounds are pleasantly distributed and she looks something less than warlike in the rustic decor of the Village Barn, a night club in Greenwich Village.
