Dan Du Bois Things were rolling around his head until one afternoon, almost a week later, a dissident walked in and asked if he could hear a sto- ry. He was ushered into the story telling room. He failed to rise however, when Tradition entered the room. Good morning son, what is your name? Tradition always liked to act like a father. Most of the other students enjoyed it. Most of the other students also liked the good things like the week- ly contests and the weekly social activities. Tradition bra ced him- self for this first encounter with a dissident. My name is Charley sir, excuse me Most Honourable Tradition Sir. I was wondering if you could tell me a story? Surely my boy. What about The Supreme Courts decides that Indians are aliens? Most Honourable Tradition Sir, I had something a little differ- ent in mind. How about the killing of Baby Face Nelson in ' 33? No Most Honourable Tradition Sir. I would like to hear of you your own past. Your trials and tribulations. The decisions you had to. . . Before Charley could finish Tradition broke in. Son you could never understand that. Why when I was a kid I had to walk through blinding snow and pouring rain for five miles to get to. . . Charley had already walked out of the office. Damnation! These these dissidents!!!!!!! Rosy (who was his sec- retary) Get Legend over here. Legend arrived in the nick of time, for Tradition was throwing things around his office in a terrible rage. Here I am Most Honourable Tradition Sir. Listen Legend and as Tradition pointed his finger at him as if it were a loaded pistol, We ' ve let things go out of hand around here for too long. Exactly sir. There are just too many of those dissidents. Have you got a list of who they are and where they can be found? Yes Most Honourable Tradition Sir. Then here ' s my plan. Donald Wills
