On Sunday March 15, 2009, a deer ran through the front entrance of the Jackson Library at Lander University. Several students were outside when they saw the deer quickly approaching them. Startled, the students ran back into the library, but the deer was persistent and crashed through a window gaining entrance into the library. However, after breaking through the thick glass, the deer was too stunned to continue and quietly left. The deer was unavailable for questioning.
Veronica Fuller, a student worker at the Jackson Library and senior class(wo)man, frantically called the Lander University Police Department (LUPD). The officer arrived on the scene promptly, and though the officer was unavailable for an interview, he did confirm that deer hair and blood was found. Although the deer’s motives are unclear, the Lander Farce will continue investigations of the account until the deer itself is properly handled and served at breakfast as sausage and/or country fried steak.
