A Colombian boa constrictor recently VOtC 2 was on the lam for three weeks in the your University of Florida's College of Jour- Studei nalism and Communications, alternately terrorizing and amusing students, faculty and staff after he escaped his owner's clutches at the college's WUFT television studios. Van Gogh's three-week slither came to an end in mid-January when the boa was discovered in the studio's master control room, not far from the spot where he made his break in Weimer Hall, the Independent Florida Alligator reported. UF sophomore Jennifer Stanton, the snake's owner, and Rocky Essex, a postbaccalaureate student, were preparing to shut down power in the master control room about 11 p.m. when Essex noticed something strange near the main power transmitter Essex, who is not particularly fond of BUS snakes, said they had been talking about the renegade reptile just before they came across it "I had just read about it in the Alliga_ tor," Essex said. "I said, 'I just hope we don't find it when I'm around here.' But 's she said it was probably dead." Then Essex spotted a cable that looked like a snakeskin, which is exactly what it turned out to be. Van Gogh had just shed * it. Essex said Stanton started yelling, "It's him! It's him! It's Van Gogh!" The elusive snake was huddled in a two-inch space above the transmitter When Stanton first tried to nab the cs1 capee, Essex said Van Gogh "hissed at her pretty bad. Gamecock Grap But Stanton said the snake was cranky * from shedding his skin and from malnutrition. Bnfl "He gets an attitude (when he sheds)," BiS she said. "He didn't want to leave. He was KB I comfortable." J Not everyone in tne college or jour- b-m nalism and Communications was happy to see Van Gogh depart. Telecommuni cations Chairman Gerald Smeyak said he kS * was dejected about the snake's exit be- Efl cause it meant the end of Dean Ralph E9 Lowenstein's periodic snake updates. n I INTI NURSES AREN' THEY RE I Any nurse who just wants a job can^^ find one.
