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

Coffeehouse act enthralls audience with folk tunes He’s a single entertainer trying to captivate his audience. This is Allen Damron’s prime objective when he walks on stage and during his Program Council sponsored performance in the Student Center f he captivated more than 200 Sul Ross students with his mellow, country-folk songs. Damron’s coffeehouse act provided a change of pace from the rigors of country and western and rock dances which have heretofore characterized student entertainment. The entertainer accompanies himself on the acoustic guitar, 12-string guitar, banjo and autoharp. His performance was something different and relaxing. student life 17
