Amphibian Show
Termed Relaxing
by Kitty Fraser
4 Emer»ld Managing Editor
It'» very relaxing and enjoyable
to watch a group of attractive
women go through a well-planned,
fancy swimming routine.
Hut have you ever tried some
r>f the stunts they perform so ef
fortlessly ?
Hist ask any of the Amphibians
who have been working since last
October on the water pageant they
presented last night and will re
peat tonight.
it s not quite as easy as it looks,
but after a few months training
&id practice, these wmter antics
become almost second nature to
the Amphtbs.
The swimming group started
last fall in perfecting their swim
ming and smoothing off rough
edges from a summer of swimming
fun.
^They picked the theme for their
3ter show, "Under the Big Top."
fall and club members were
divided into groups to begin de
vising the routines for the various
acts.
Serious reharsals began in Jan
uary and this past week the swim
mers have been working every
night and put the final polish on
Lhe various numbers.
In learning these water ballet
techniques, it first takes a lot of
practice oh your own. Then one
has to learn to do it in rhythm
with one other person or a group
of persons.

One outstanding number from
the Amphib water show is a duet
by Barbara Dixon and Nikki
Trump. The pair go through a aer
ies of perfectly coordinated back
dolphins, submarines and swim
strokes.
Another well-done number Is the
"Seals’ Act" in which the swim
mers wear fins to help them
through the water. They have
good synchronization as they
wave their huge rubber balls and
perform a series of “seal dives."
A very good trio number is per
formed by Marlis Clausscn, Sue
Morris and Sally Stadelman to a
march tun.o They impersonate
trapeze artists, quite a feat in
water.
The Merry-Go-Round number
which is done with lights attach
ed to the swimmers is very ef
fective. The tiny lights flash very
much like those on a real merry
go-round. Only the flowers on the
swimmers' suits and wrists can be
seen in the darkness.
Much of the work on the show
was done under the direction of
the club president, Sally Stadel
man. Adviser to the group is Mar
ian Perry, instructor in physical
education.
The show will be repeated to
night beginning at 8 p. m. in the
men’s pool. Admission is'80 cents.

CAMPUS -852T Crti*
A CAMPUS-TO-CAREER CASE HISTORY
Bob Wilson works on a ‘ breadboard” circuit, study
ing the electrical properties of a carrier system.
Fresh out of school, Bob Wilson, ’53,
was put to work on a Transistor project
at Bell Laboratories. He explains why
he never had time to be awed.
(Reading, Time.: 39 seconds)
“In some ways it was hard to believe. I
had received my B.E.E. at the Univer
sity of Delaware in June, 1953, and a
week later I was working in.the world
famous Bell Laboratories.
“But I didn't have time to be awed be
cause they put me right to work. They
gave me responsibility fast.
‘‘My group was working on the experi
mental application of transistors to carrier
systems. My assignment was the elec
trical design of a variolosser for the com
pressor and for the expandor to be located
in the terminals.
“The supervision I received and the
equipment I had were tops. I quickly dis
covered that I had to rely on my ingenuity
as much as on the college courses I had
taken. Perhaps that’s one reason for the
great new discoveries continually turned
out by the Labs.
‘"Now, I'm in the Communication De
velopment Training Program, continuing
my technical education and learning what
all the Laboratories sections do and how
their work is integrated.
‘ In a year I'll be back working with
the group with which I started.”

Assuming responsibility fast is a common
experience among the engineering, phys
ical science, arts and social science, and
business administration graduates who join
the Bell System. Bob Wilson went with
Bell Laboratories. There also are job op
portunities with the operating telephone
companies, Western Electric and Sandia
Corporation.
