Bianca Jackson, a freshman criminal justice major, (left) joins magician Peter Boie (right) onstage in the Corley Auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Jackson was asked to lick a tootsie roll pop until she reached the center, counting each lick with the help of a lick counter. At the end of the show she returned to the stage to see if the amount of licks it took her was the same number that Boie had written in a sealed envelope before the show. It was. According to jackson and Boie, it takes 178 licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.
