Iowans have taken to the water like ducks through the efforts of Coach Dave Armbruster, who has guided the Hawkeyes to a front- rank position in the collegiate aquatic world. Ten Armbruster-coached tankers have qualified for the final Olympic swimming trials, and six were named last year on the all-America team. The Armbruster laboratory is the fieldhouse pool, second largest in- deor swimming plant in the coun- try. More than 125 varsity and freshman swimmers splash there daily, and hundreds of other stu- dents dive in solely for exercise. ———-——— FERN BEAUTY PARLOR i Closed during the absence of Mrs. H. C.
