K.U. Women Have Unusually Varied Interests-Bennett
Teaching, Household Econ omics and Social Service Are Greatest Vocations of Women
"The interests of women students at this University are more varied and they have more local, national and foreign interests than women in the average university" is the opinion of Helen M. Bemer, vocational guidance expert at Chicago who is visiting the University for three days.
"The college woman goes into all sorts of occupations from aviation to wireless," she said. Miss Bennett, "Sniper, Prisoner, Mail Carrier, Work of work she takes up. The greatest number of college women are still going into teaching, the next largest number into household economics, the next largest number into social service.
Social Service Iₛ Good Field
Social Service is Good Field
"Social service offers a varied field
of work and a high level of
service," she said. "Special
training in addition to college work
is necessary for this profession. A
work experience that meets the
public are not the only requests."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1923
Three points should be considered in selecting a vocation, according to Miss Bennett in her talk yesterday First, have you a desire to do the work; second, have you the ability to do it; and third is it practical work?
"Secretarial work is a good way to approach the business world in general," said Miss Bennett. "Business in general wants women. It cannot get along without them. The demand for college-trained secretaries in government is growing, and there have been enough college women in secretarial work."
Advocates English Major
A major in English is advocate by Miss Bennett for entering almost any field of work, and it is especially good for secretaries. A secretary should also have economics, psychology, and history.
Personal characteristics necessary to do social service work are ready human responses, a warm heart, a cool head, great physical strength and willingness to take responsibility.
"Tact, initiative, reliability, ability to keep a secret, honesty, skill in stenography, ability to meet people, to transact business and to take orders when necessary, are a few of her talents," Miss Bornett pointed out. "A person with a dramatic temperament makes a good secretary."
Women Should Get in Business
Women Should Get in Business
“More women should get into business,” she says. “We haven’t enough women who jump out and do things.” She wants to see more women go into journalism. It is a fine field, she said, and there should be more women editors on the screen. The papers influence over half of the country. Women are able to see news quicker than men and the new era which is coming will see more women in newspaper work, is her prophy.

In 1912, he was seriously considered for the Republican nomination for president. A discussion of his chances was recently printed in *Biennial Press*. He has attracted further interest not through his success as a historical writer. He recently published a book, "Rome and the World Today" which is enjoying wide popularity.

Chubb Views Hill Politics
Says Elections Should Empha size Issues
"Student elections should involve a clash of real issues and not merely a battle of personalities," said H. B. Chubb, assistant professor of political science, today, when asked to give his views of campus politics. In a large student body, such as the one at the university, the issues should be clear, he said. "I should advocate a reform in the methods of nominating candidates," he said. "Nominating primaries would have a tendency to create an interest in politics in the student body as a whole, giving the average student a feeling that he has a real part in student government." The students now operate, the majority of the voters are merely rubber stamps.
"I should not advocate in any sense the abolishment of student government in the University. A greatmidtimate should be a genuine democracy, and all democracles must be governed by public opinion. In all democracles, and in fact all governments, evile exist which should be correct. As against them, and state politics, so in our Hill policies, certain reformares are needed."
