GOING
BATTY: Brian Schaetz,
an EMU biology major, stands at the mouth
of Ventana Cave in Arecibo, Puerto Rico,
while bats fly about in the background, during
the recent winter break. Schaetz sports an
EMU biology T-shirt. Allen
Kurta, an EMU biology professor, took
Schaetz and another student, Olivia Munzer,
with him to catch as many samples of
the 13 species of bats (including the
large fish-eating bat) they could locate.
Kurta and the students were looking for
parasites and hair samples.
EMU Spotted is an occasional
feature that appears in FOCUS EMU, noting
the institution's name showing up in unusual
or out-of-the-way places. If you have an
EMU Spotted item, please submit to Ron Podell
