Mot in public! Meloncholy Day Lambda Chi Alpha held its eighth an- nual Watermelon Bust, where every- body got wet, got dirty, and got in- volved. A Watermelon Bust is a day of exciting and unique sportive events that require the use of a watermelon in some way. This year ' s events in- cluded a seed spitting contest, a relay race with a greased watermelon, and a watermelon decorating contest. The final event of the day was the Miss Watermelon Bust Contest where each team portrayed what the Bust had meant to them by dressing up a team member. Besides the regulated events, a man- enhanced mud puddle provided a large section of entertainment for the day. Some fun-loving people decided to go mud sliding, jumping, and surf- ing. They also helped unwilling on- lookers become acquainted vAth the 15 foot puddle. A big hand of congratulations goes out to the teams that lasted through- out the whole day: the Tri-M ' s, the Q 6f T Yellow Jackets, the Condoms, Cosmic Debris, I.D.C. (I Don ' t Care), and R.O.T.C. If you didn ' t make it this year, then be sure to next year. Water- melon or Bust!!! 172
