Upset Updike Wants the Bird

Local ornithologists last night blamed the recent unseasonable weather for the sudden disappearance of the Bow Street Aviary's prize specimen. Treskiornia Aetheopia, the Sacred Ibis. The bird, distinguished by its dull metallic green plumage with irregular white streaks, left its perch stop a well-known society.

Despite, the expert opinion offered by ornithologists, some of the society's members were inclined to blame the CRIMSON for aiding in the bird's escape. They pointed out that on the morning the bird disappeared, an article in the paper referred to it.

The article's author, Milton S. Gwirtman '54, last night denied knowledge of the bird's whereabouts, claiming that "The review was set in type long before the lbis left. I am sure that my associates and students will back me up when I say that I have never introduced political beliefs into the classroom."
