'Bust' deemed a smash continued The Governor Davis Band, a Muncie based group, provided the after- noon entertainment. Play- ing familiar party tunes such as Louie, Louie' and Mony, Mony. Greek and independ- ent teams also helped provide afternoon amuse- ment. Games involving watermelons were emceed by WFBQ radio personali- ties Jay Baker and The Love Brothers. Even though Bob and Tom of WFBQ had to cancel out, the emceeing was still a big plus, Schmidt said. They helped set the party atmosphere. Steve Taylor, a member of the Phi Delta Theta's 'Tequila Monster' team, said, We wanted to win the race real bad, but it really didn't matter. We had fun before, during and after. I left dead-com- pletely worn out. 'Spudettes' member- Renee Resley, a resident of Knotts hall, said, This is 66 my first year Y d ,t here and ou on . everybody have to dflnk says it's one to have tun at Of the biggest the water' weekends. I melon Bust had alot of ,, fun. The 'Spudettes' won the women's residence hall division. Competition is tough at the Bustg and victory held some measure of importance. It meant everything, David Beam, of the Sigma Phi Epsilon winning team, said. It means we have the best spirit. We've won it two years in a row and there's no way they can stop us. Songs from the 1960s exploded from the nation- ally known performer Mitch Ryder later on in the evening as the Indianapolis based band 10:01 opened for his act. Unfortunately the band was cut off by the University Police a half an hour early because of complaints. Still, the band was a success, Delta Tau Delta member Dave Oden said. Chairpersons agreed that this was one of the most successful Busts ever. 'The Bust is definitely making steps forward. We had no major injuries, good crowd control, great bands and less mess than last year. It's going up, Hoch- VA 'Bud-Knight' runs his leg oi the water- melon relay. The spirit shown by his costume was indicative ol the 'Bust.' vJeff Bond stetler said. The mess was in reference to the excessive rain the Bust had to contend with last year. You don't have to drink to have fun at the Watermelon Bust. I wasn't drunk at all. I had fun dancing and just watching everything, Kim Miller said. According to Schmidt the only set back of the , Bust was the chilly weather. Yet, about 2,250 people attended, which was about the same as in the past. The Bust was really excellent. I was surprised more people didn't ignore the cold weather and stay for the concert. It was great, John Emst said. EI vOne ol the traditions of Bust is the wa- termelon tights. Delta Rho members, Jim Winger, Darin McGee and Steve Campbell gang up on Clyde Richie. watfrmefon 5u.st.25...
