 The worst part was transferring the bugs to the killing jar; a giant grasshopper got loose and hopped all over my house: state Melanie Behler. ‘Sto Mjw fcioject frfayttea tcj It's just one of those dreaded things that almost every student must suffer through at some time. No, it's not Romeo and Juliet, term papers, or the Pythagorean Theorum. It's the Biology Bug Collection. Despite gruesome rumors sent down to underclassmen, there have been survivors. The students are required to catch the bugs, kill the bugs, classi- fy the bugs, stick pins in the bugs . .. Ugh! Let's see what they have to say about it! I guess the worst part was the actual collecting of the bugs, re- called Jennifer Calhoun. I hated going outside and poking around for bugs! Although only required to collect 35 bugs, some students went the extra mile and collected more for extra credit. Jerry Bradley, for in- stance, collected ninety-nine1. The worst part for me was hav- ing to classify all of the insects, because when you have ninety- nine bugs to classify you begin to dread finishing your project! he explained. A little bit of help never hurts, and, in fact, can really be useful. Todd Barnes can relate to this. My brother got and killed most of my bugs, he replied, and my mom got most of the names for them. So, I didn't have to do much of the work! Even though help from parents and friends is a really useful meth- od, there is an even more helpful one. Other people's bug collections! Joel McDonald took full advantage of this sly technique. 1 thought my brother's bug col- lection would be in worse shape than it really was, he mischie- vously admitted. Still, though, when it comes down to the facts, almost everyone admitted that doing their insect collection wasn't as bad as they had expected. So, never fear, under- classmen, there is almost a ninety- nine percent chance that you will survive. But keep in mind what Melanie Behler had to say I didn't like having jars of dying bugs around my house! By Shannon Dunn
