A trip around the world was taken via the Quack club's annual water show last night in the swimming pool at Robinson gymnasium.
The opening number was performed in the dark with only bathing caps and hands painted with a luminous substance forming designs. The pattern is opened using set the pattern for the repainter of the hour-long show.
An exhibition of speed swimming and lightning turns was given by Tatjana Plume Walker, former Latvian swimming champion, as a guest performer.

Korean TruceWould Not End China Trouble, Expert Says
Even if a true agreement is signed in Korea, it will be only the beginning of trouble with the Chinese Communists for the United States, Albert Ravenholt, an associate of the Institute of Current World Affairs, said Thursday in an interview.
Mr. Ravenholt, who returned in December from a visit to Hong Kong, Formosa, Siam, and the Philippines, said there is a strong chance the Chinese Communists may become more nationalistic and "lean away" from Russia.
However, he explained, the Chinese Communists, independent of Russia, could pose a bigger problem to the United States than they do now. He said that American modern weapons would be relatively ineffective because of the lack of industrialization in China.
The position of the United States in the Far East is becoming more
difficult, Mr. Ravenholt said, and the American government is caught up in a crisis mentality that handicaps long range planning.
Mr. Ravenholt sees part of the solution to the problem in having the situation analyzed by private groups in the United States. These groups would include universities. He said the biggest problem is the problem in the rehabilitation of a country ravaged by war.
Although he believes the Korean war has resolved into a military stalemate, Mr. Ravenholt also believes that it has accomplished its main objectives of protecting the South Korean republic and defending Japan.
Mr. Ravenholt said that the Communists have convinced an estimated 95 per cent of the Chinese that the Korean war is a victory for them.
