Watermelon and more watermelon dominates west campus at the TC melon mess. Theta Chi Melon Mess Becoming a tradition as the first social event of the school year, the Theta Chi melon mess took place September 10 on west campus. It was a rather chilly afternoon for eating watermelon, but at- tendance at this second annual TC melon mess was double that of last year. Hundreds of students feasted on the juicy melons which filled a number of ice tubs. For those who Wanted to give one helping a chance to digest before they downed another, there was entertainment, dancing and those perennial Ball State favorites, bird-dogging and socializing. The TCS also provided taxi service for coeds who didn't like the thought of making that long trek from the dorm 'way over to West campus. What better way for frosh to get acquainted with Ball State social life and upperclassmen to renew acquaintances and socialize than over a slice of juicy watermelon? These students employ the ear- wash method as the only way of eating at the TC melon mess. Year's First ocial Event ffm I' Judy Garber and Karen Peterson size up the watermelon slrces shown them by Bob Nloennch and Dave Kaser. Cost was 10 cents per slice. 1' mr P' aff . if P XI 1.1 ii
