Lambda Chis sponsor Bust While most Butler students relaxed during the summer months, the men of Lambda Chi Alpha began planning for the annual Watermelon Bust. Bust, the first all campus festivity of the year, began after the Evansville-Butler football game with an estimated 900 person crowd in attendance. A record of 27 feet 1 1 inches was set in the seed spitting contest as the day ' s events got under way. Other events included the melon toss, melon distance throw and the wat- ermelon eating race, in which freshman Denise Fredericks, Theta, smashed the nine year Pi Phi dominance of that event. The climax of the day ' s events came with the crowning of Tri Delt, Jeani Rumple, as Miss Watermelon Bust and the campus dance sponsored by Lambda Chi that night.
