On these beautiful spring days, as the temperature soars into the twenties and the first robin stands with his feet frozen to the ground, a student's thoughts naturally turn to indoor sports, such as the Southern Pit.
How, you ask, can the Southern Pit be considered a sport? Elementary, dear reader. Although it masquerades as a business, the most broad-minded junior in Summerfield would deny such stature to the Pit, and despite widespread assumption to the contrary, Uncle Dick's Bar-B-Que Bazaar is not a charitable institution. What, then remains but to call it a sport, a thoroughly enjoyable pastime in which the muscles which activate the elbow are slowly strengthened, and the body thrives on a delightful diet of tender, tangy bar-b-que and light golden suds.
We urge you to improve your health and general well-being, and thence the welfare of your country, by embarking on the Pit Crew Training Program Today!
**TOPS AT KU** -The best selling records at Kief's Record & Hi-Fi this week are "Peaches 'n' Cream" (45) by the Ikettes and The Temptations "My Girl" album (LP).
