Patrons of the College's central kitchen may have been eating crow, under the alias "chicken salad," during fall and spring migration seasons, it was learned over the weekend.
An Eliot House senior, gobbling down his entree last Friday; almost choked on a metal band. He brushed off the band, found that it had the legend "ASS. R.O.P. 95 M 6" stamped on it, and concluded that a banded migrating bird had innocently flown into the central kitchen and been foully done in.
A check with local ornithologists lent credence to the crow hypothesis. The North American fish-crow (Corvus ossifragus) does migrate about this time, the experts said, and one might well have lost his way in or around Kirkland House.
