Watermelons star at Meet the Lobos Students and spectators were introduced to something other than the Sul Ross football and volleyball squads during Meet the Lobos Night. After meeting members of the two teams, they were introduced to a West Texas favorite—black diamond watermelons. Everyone pitched in to help devour the 50 watermelons at the event which was hosted by the Physical Education Department. From the evidence of gnawed rinds the next day, the enjoyment of the sweet and sticky feast was very clear. 16 student life
