Mary Swantek, 22-year-old University of Michigan senior from Bay City, “mans” a 700-pound color camera as she works a life show at WXYZ-TV in Detroit. Mary, the first girl cameraman at the station, has to perform all the duties of her more-burly male counterparts in the engineering corp. A summer intern she expects to graduate from Michigan next month. [1972]
