as tnecnJI Calorie counters beware: Alpha
n also L p^j Omega is going to tempt your
ass said, power on April 26.
ent dacK|y APO’s “Split For the Summer”
candidal f or the service fraternity to con-
andappL: (met the world’s longest banana
split. The estimated proceeds of be-
M at If ; tween $25,000 and $30,000 will be
with the 1 gj V en to the Boys Clubs of America,
hoomfol» The idea’s originator, Ken Lewis,
lor thevj C e president of the project for
thedaiKt: APO, said the banana split will be
' lt ‘ pa? R one mile and 575 yards long and will
vnerol he recorded in the Guinness Book of
Houston World Records. The current record
m the' i s one mile and 99 yards, held by a
w l bade high school in Australia,
try NcwiH Lewis, whose favorite movie hap-
I McReyj pens to be “Willie Wonka and the
vs direct^
Antonio,
ton
Chocolate Factory,” said the massive
banana split will require 34,200
scoops of ice cream, 11,400 bananas,
270 gallons of topping (chocolate and
pineapple), 110 gallons of whipped
cream and 170 pounds of nuts. APO
will sell up to 11,000 tickets to the
event.
The banana split, which will be
placed on tables, will loop four times
around the Kyle Field track and will
spell TAMU on the playing field.
“On Monday and Tuesday of the
week of the event, APO will begin
scooping the ice cream and will re-
ffeeze it until Saturday,” Lewis said.
“On the day of the banana split
(April 26), 100 APO members will
begin building it in 100 different
places. A truck will drive between
the rows of tables to hand out the ice
cream to each APO member, who is
responsible for 70 feet.”
Jarvis Miller, Texas A&M Univer
sity president, will officially open the
festivities at 10 a.m. with the first
bite. Miller will then signal to the
people in the stands, who purchased
tickets, to come down and join him.
“It should be a terrific sight to see
11,000 people wearing bibs, run
down to the tables to eat their
assigned section of the banana split,’
Lewis said.
The project will cost about $6,000,
and Lewis said APO needs to sell at
least 2,200 tickets to break even.
“So far, the response for helping
us sell tickets has been tremendous.
We’ve been getting help from the
Exxon Corporation in Houston, the
alumni, different churches in the
Bryan-College Station area, the
dorm counselors, other fraternities,
and individual Corps members.”
Students interested in eating a
section of the world record may pur
chase tickets for $2.50 at the Rudder
Box Office or at the APO table on the
first floor in the Memorial Student
Center any time through April 25. If
all 11,000 tickets aren’t sold by April
25, the remaining tickets will be sold
for $3 at the gate.
Lewis said since there is a limited
number of tickets, students should
buy tickets as soon as possible.
