MC Story #4 Idea

I'm planning on writing an editorial based on the idea that SIUE should be doing more to ensure that deer roam around campus after nightfall. There are several highway systems in Southern Illinois that have the danger of deer running across the road, but because the road systems are so large, they can't do much to regulate the population of the deer on the roads. However, SIUE is a fairly localized area and the faculty or executive powers of the college could be putting funds in to find a way to keep the campus safer for both nighttime motorists and the deer. I will research different ways this can be achieved other than killing the animals. I'm sure that other areas with the same hazards have experimented with methods to discourage them.

  1. This should work. Don't hesitate to take a strong, even controversial stand on this. Find stats to back up your concern about highway accidents involving deer, people injured, maybe stats on the growing deer population in Illinois, etc.
