It’s one of the few science degrees that you can take out and apply at the bachelor’s degree level.” Obst said the department is still growing into new areas of application, although he notably left out any hint at an entomologist gourmet cooking class. “I’m in it more for the agricultural side, but many students go into medical or urban entomology,” Obst said. “The department is starting a new forensic en tomology class.” Casper added her enthusiasm for the foren sic class, which would teach entomologists how to help authorities investigate crimes based on evidence from insect activity. “They’ve featured it on ‘X-Files’ before; that’s how a lot of people know about it. That exposure has really helped the field,” Casper said. “You have to have the stomach for it, though.” - Not everyone has the stomach for bugs, but that’s what makes the undergraduate entomology club unique. Just be careful when they’re giving out free cookies. Freebird’s HJ1 ITH Continued from Page 5 Even so, Tatum said Freebird’s at tracts a wide group of loyal patrons. She sees some professors at least four times a week. “We do get a lot of repeat cus tomers,” she said proudly. Dube believes it is the food that keeps customers coming back. “We use the highest quality ingredients,” she said. "We make everything here, so there’s nothing canned and everything’s fresh.” Tatum said the kitchen managers test the food twice each shift. If it doesn’t taste right, it goes out, she said firmly. “The food is so good,” enthused Car olyn Goodwin, a freshman business ma jor. “It’s like rolling every food group into a log. It’s awesome.” The burritos come in three sizes: reg ular, monster and super monster. Cus tomers also choose from four tortilla fla vors: flour, wheat, spinach and cayenne. “You get full, and you get your money’s worth,” Tatum said. Mary Dube said she also believes how customers get their food is key. “You get your food quickly, it’s not expensive and it’s a fun environment,” she said. The store’s unique atmosphere, like the graf fiti wall, comes from the personalities of its founders, she explained. “The graffiti wall’s been a great part of the decor,” she related. "It makes people feel more a part of the restau rant, kind of like it’s theirs and they’re leaving their mark. “I think really in this community with A&M, a lot of people really feel a part of Freebird’s,” she said. ‘Theyfeela of ownership.” At the new location, there's fiti, but customers have lefttheiri with a wide variety of aluminuj creations.
