ne of the most enjoyable of the traditions in the Carnegie Mellon campus is the annual Watermelon Bash. Sponsored by the IFC (Interfraternity Council), the event was held throughout the day on Saturday, September 5th. It gave freshmen their first real exposure to the fraternity experience. The fraternities provided plenty of food including, of course, a plethora of watermelons which were filled with a variety of liqueurs in order to enhance the party atmosphere. A variety of events added spice to the “Bash,” among them a live band which offered a diversity of musical styles for everyone to enjoy. In addition, mud and water slides were implemented for those who were willing to take the plunge. A break in tradition occurred this year, as the rope used in a tug-o-war was misplaced, causing the cancellation of the competition. However, several other games, including an epic game of 5 table quarters, invited those who were not preoccupied with the ritual driving of the proverbial porcelain bus, to actively participate in the festivities. Another gap in tradition occurred with the fact that the events on Saturday began the “pre-rush” period. In past years, Watermelon Bash had served as the kick-off for the fraternity rush. This year, rush began on September 14th allowing both freshmen and fraternities more opportunities to party together before the official dry rush began. Annie Golding, of Delta Delta Delta summed up the event as, “ ... a great opportunity for the greek and non-greek communities to get together and have a great time.” Watermelon Rash, isn't it? So we're watermelon—and plenty of it. Is that O.K.?!

(To Left) Students cool off in the quad by taking a plunge on the synthetic water slide (a.k.a. garbage bag rubber) as part of the annual Watermelon Bash celebration. This ritualistic practice is often done bagless, a less professional method of getting soaked. (Below) Unity is a common theme in the minds of the diverse students which make up Carnegie Mellon, this being displayed by a tight-knit group during Watermelon Bash. (To Left) Among the highlights of the Watermelon Bash was Mark Berlove's attempt to use a watermelon wedge as a telephone. Although he finished the watermelon before the call went through, he is currently in negotiations with AT T. Jmi Kaplan 13
