Aqua maid To Take
Professional Plunge
The Campus Chat
PAGE J—AMUSEMENTS-,
By BETTY LINN NOLL
This summer the Aquarena in
San Marcos will be finding out
"what a difference a Day makes."
The Day, In this case, is Debbie
Day, a North Texas freshman who
plans to swim her way through
college from now on.
Debbie is to become an aqua-
maid this summer, and will prob-
ably continue to swim profession-
ally until she graduates from col-
lege.
An influential Day in Debbie's
life was her father, Donald K.
Day, who us«?d to swim the Eng-
lish Channel l>efore Debbie was
born.
At the age of fl, Debbie followed
his example and taught herself
to swim.
Debbie never had any formal
swimming instruction. As she

grew older, she learned through
observation.
Evidently this attention to the
sport paid off, because at the age
of 12 Debbie won two ribbons in
citywide swimming meets in Dal-
las, and added still another to her
collection when she was 13. She
also won a medal in one of the
meets. Debbie excelled in speed
and form at these meets.
In the San Marcos Aquarena
Debbie will perform with other
swimmers in underwater ballets
•nd stunts. One such stunt will
be eating a picnic lunch under-
water and drinking soda pop.
"The picnic lunch is not any-
thing soluble," Debbie pointed out.
"It contains such foods as celery
anil carrots."
In preparing for her new job,
Debbie will be in training for
three to six weeks. The main ob-
jective will be to master breathing
through an air tube underwater.
Water skiing Is another sport
which Debbie enjoys. She likes to
perform unusual feats on skis as
well as in the water. One of these
ski stunts is skiing on one foot
with her little sister, 8-yeur-old
Jene, on her shoulders.
Debbie admits that she would
like to go into swimming profes-
sionally if the opportunity ever
arises, but at the present time
she is working toward u college
degree, majoring in elementary
education.
At Phi Eta Sigma Banquet.
Dr. Spurlock Notes Information Gap
ARMED WITH PICNIC LUNCH, Debbie Day prepares to find
out what it's like to eat underwater—a feat she will be perform-
ing this summer in her job as aquamaid at the Aquarena in San
Marcos.
In a world in which science and
technology play an increasingly
dominate role, the United States
cannot afford a citizenship which
is scientifically illiterate.
This statement was made by
Vice-President J. J. Spurlock in
an address to the 31 initiates of
Phi Eta Sigma May (1 at the annual
initiation banquet at Marquis Hall.
"Students of today should be
able to pick up a daily newspaper
or a news magazine and read un-
derstanding^ about current devel-
opments in science and technolo-
gy," he stated.
Dr. Spurlock was also initiated
as an honorary member of Phi
Eta Sigma.
The other initiates included Da-
vid Bartholomew, Bobby Buttles
Hubert Brookshear, Edward Broun-
stein, tiaylan Duboae, Paul Evans,
William Farmer, Hol>ert Pitch,
Donuld Francisco, Carlos Gullet,
Bob Henderson, Jesse Jones, John
Joyce, William Knox, Edwin
Duehn, John Lewi*, John Martin
and Guy Miller.
Others who were initiated were
Michael McNelly, Robert Naylor,
Joseph Pilloid, Stanley Rice, John

The North Texan Concert Band
provided an evening of emotional
and enjoyable band music to an
estimated 000 persons in its spring
concert Friday night.
The band, directed by Maurice
McAdow, seemed to play with un-
usual zest and liveliness in the
two-hour performance.
Outstanding numbers in the pro-
gram were "Sinfonians," by Clif-
ton Williams, "The Land of
Wheat," by Don Gillis, "Overture
to Candide," by Leonard Bernstein
and "Scherzo," by Mielinz-Voxman,
featuring Norvel Crew*, Lee La
Roach, Jerry Pinnell and Richard
Shanks on saxophones.
The hnal piece, "Tap Roots," by
Frank Skinner, told the story of
the pre-Civil War era and of the
Iteginning of the war in very clear
musical images and was perhaps
the outstanding number of the en-
tire performance.
