k . lb » At the head of the table sits Tradition himself addressed by all as the Most Honourable Tradition Sir. To his right is The Honourable Legend. To the right of Honourable Legend is seated Ms. Information, and then Sir Belief, Sir Custom, and Sir Practice. To the left of The Most Honourable Tradition Sir is Surrender, and to his left the representatives of the people: Backgammon (a man of business and economics), The Right Reverand Correlation a man of Philosophy and Religion), Herodutus (no relation to the other great Greek), El Ron Cornucopia (a man of science) and Griswold (in charge of maintenance and other neat things). Each of the people seated at the aforementioned table had some official duty. Legend, who played second fiddle only because his name had fewer letters, was the backbone of the bureaucracy. Every morning he would place three or four good stories on the desk Tradition had in the administration building and proceed to the office of Ms. Information who spent her time compiling the stories from the date supplied by Sir Belief (the morale maker); Sir Custom (intent on keeping character sketches in line with previous Tradition tales); and Sir Practice (interested in what the people might do with the stories and also excellent with two hands). Ms. Information covered for Legend on some of the menial tasks. She sent out some of the best stories to local newspapers and other forms of media to have the small college in the middle of the cornfields brought to the attention of the public. She would also reg- ularly compile the Twenty Heavies From Tradition and send them to all the people who once attended the college. Many of these people would in turn donate funds to the institution. These Albanians Living Under a Misanthrope ' s Skepticism, or ALUMS, were generally prosperous and old. -.-
