Trip to CMC
Fatal to Deer
The biology department was
called upon to practice some of
its teachings Monday when two
deer strayed into the college wood
lot behind Warriner Hall.
A buck and a doe came out of
the wood lot and tried to jump
the fence around the tennis
courts. The buck broke his neck
when he tried to jump. The doe
broke her lower jaw, wandered
into corner of the fence behind
Dr. Anspach's house and couldn't
find her way out.
Gale Gleason, biology professor,
and Barbara Bently, Birmingham
sophomore and biology student
helper, were called to give
ether to the doe. Gleason explained that deer feed by using
their lower jaws and the doe had
to be put to sleep.
The Conservation Department
took the deer to the Broomfield
Hospital to be cut into venison
steaks and chops.

from one pond to another on their
bodies, thus spreading living organisms as they migrate.
He was a visiting professor at
Central last year, and will return
after a summer of teaching in Detroit, and traveling throughout
northeastern United States. On
the tour he will visit various marine biological stations and universities, making a collection of
marine invertebrates and plants.
His specialty is aquatic biology.
