disgusting, murky and dank places- dank, for your knowledge, means a generally
cold, musty and damp place. You sound like a moron when you use it as another
term for ‘cool’. Knock it off. So, what better place for a frog to he other than near a
college student’s mush.filled skull? •

According to Jennifer Bown, Clackamas Community College’s resident
zoology instructor, we do have a lot of frogs on campus. A majority of the frogs you hear are Pacific
Treefrogs. They choose to inhabit the West Coast in places like California, Oregon and Washington, all
the way into British Columbia and Alaska. Other species native to the campus are a small population of
Red-legged frog, and also a population of non-native bullfrogs that seem to think destroying the rest of
the frogs is a good idea.
A student’s brain is full of Facebook status updates, the pants that made T. Swift’s butt look in
credible, and somewhere in there, just maybe, a need to achieve at least a semblance of a good grade just
to salvage some sort of pride. Add into your mental list that you if you see a frog on campus, don’t touch
it. Don’t try and keep it, or fry it for dinner (looking at you, Barlow parking lot residents). Let it enjoy the
home its made on the campus in the Pauling pond or just wherever these little sticky toed friends want
to chill out.
