Perdue U buys Venus Fly Traps Southeastern Community College President Dr. Kathy Matlock, center, presents a fat of Venus fy traps grown by SCC students to Doug Osman of Purdue University March 13. Pictured also (from left) are Dr. Kevin Bratton, dean of arts and scienc- es; Rebecca Westbrooks, chair of natural and social sciences; and Teresa Lengner, lab assistant and instructor. Osmon, a clinical assistant professor in the Brian Lamb School of Communication, purchased 100 Venus fy traps and nine butterworts from SCC to display and sell at Purdue University’s annual Bug Bowl, which he said draws approximately 20,000 attendees. The flmmaker will use proceeds from the sale of the plants to produce environmental documentaries.
