Pi's Own Candy Block The following conversation can be heard almost any night at the Alpha Delta Pi House: "How about getting a sample of the 'Rock of Gibralter' tonight, Zander?" "Sho! Bring the hammer and the poker and I'll give you a piece." Then footsteps can be heard in the direction of the kitchen, rustling of paper, loud blows and a comment? "Never even dented it!" Blow follows blow and there is much thumping and banging, accompanied by whispering and giggling. At last some cries, "That did it! Give me a piece. Gee! it's good." Elizabeth Alexander is official representative and owner of the "Rock of Gibralter" which is a five-pound stick of peppermint candy. A piece of it can be acquired only by the use of a hammer, a trusty rifle, and a strong right arm. Miss Alexander brought the novelty with her from Alabama and claims that it is her only provision for the long cold winter. Anyone desiring samples of the candy for use in geology "lab" should apply at the A. D- Pi Mouse.

By way of adding color each girl wore the loudest pajamas that she possessed. This was sufficient to make the Fair House parlor most interesting during that hour. Contrary to the usual custom of dances the leaders were popular instead of the followers. "May I break" was replaced with "Will you lead me." The reason of course, was that boys were lacking. "Y" Discussions Begin Tuesday Enrollment was begun on last Tuesday night by the various discussion groups in the tenements on the campus. Practically all the tenements arc already organized, or will be by next week, according to R. G. Bell, executive secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. The discussion groups will run through ten weeks beginning with next Tuesday night's meetings. Each group has its choice of topic to be discussed. Those selected by groups last Tuesday night were sportmanship, college and booze, how shall we meet temptation, relationship between man and woman, and how is character developed. U. 8. O.

'Boots' in your comic strip has a Mr. X?now Earl, the wonderful Gamecock, may have a Miss X." The letter came from Newberry. The latest Campus Racket which offers an energetic fellow a chance to clean up at B. U. is the idea practiced at a certain western college.
