Synchronized Swimming Meet Set for Tomorrow Girls from Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas and Denton will compete to morrow afternoon in the Women’s Synchronized Swimming Meet. The first round will be at 1:30 p.m. and the second performance at 7:30 p.m. in P. L. Downs Jr. Natatorium. Synchronized swimming is the art of interpretating swimming to music, with the aid of colorful cos tumes, fancy bathing suits and brilliant-colored underwater lights. In order to do this, the girls must be in almost perfect physical condition. Synchronized swimming was first introduced by Katherin Curtis in the 1920’s. It started out as merely a combination of stunts and formations set to slow rhyth- matic tunes such as waltzes and marches.. . Fast Growing Sport Today this fast growing sport has developed until it is nearly an art in the swimming field. Music, costume design and de tailed motions by college girls are closely interwoven .to create pat terns and routines, set to the pop ular jazz tunes such as “Tango,” “Chicken Reel,” “Tliunder Bird” and “The Waltzing Cat.” Synchronized swimming is being held at A&M for the first time to morrow. Famed stars such as Ma rion Jobst and Lolly Anderson, last year’s SAAU duet winners, and Jeannette Pfeifferadn and Sandra McNulty from Dallas will perform. Stars from the Shamrock in Hill to Address Final AAUP Meet J. W. Hill, director of work men’s compensation insurance for the A&M System, will speak at 7:30 p. m.
