out more and t saore, thus giving
the Impression of growing.
Some people believe there are
pointed snake*, which, when cut
into pieces wity go back together
again. This is; not true, he said
Another fallacy many people be
lieve IS that people come up three
timet for air when drowning. This
all depends on the amount of air
m their lungs;[they may not come
up at all, he plated.
Bill Murray, also spoke, advo
cating the cooperation of the dubs
on the campus' to buy a new, rea
sonably-priced • movie projector.
Murray, acting as representative
of the Biology <'lub, said that edu
cational movie films on practically
any subject copld be rented for a
reasonable sum and uaed for the
different clubi' benefit
At the regular meetfihfiof the
Fish and Game Club Monday night,
Dr. William B. Davis gave a talk
on the Texas Bighorn Sheep.
These animals do not occur any
where but in the rough moun
tainous country of Trans-Pecos
Texas. Through the aid of re
search to determine the reqoire-
ments of this species, Dr. Davis
believes that it may be possible
to increase the number of Bighorns
In Texas by two or even thn t
times.
He said that the competition of
domestic sheep and goats oa the
Bighorn’s natural ranges probably
is responsible for their failure
to increase in numbers. Ranchers
in the area believe that predatory
animals such as mountain lions
and eagles kill numerous , wild
sheep, hut Dr. Davis says that
until evidence is found to prove
them guilty, the mountain lions
and eagles should not be wantonly
killed.
