by Kenneth E. Field The tour guide, wiping his brow, surveyed a smaH crowd that gathered in front of the ruins in the blistering heat. He sighed at the thought of another day of showing the old relic to people only slightly interested in it. Yawning, the tour guide spoke through the porta-speaker hanging at his side, cautioning the parents to control their bored children, then began his equaliy boring iecture. Sittner Hall, discovered by Dr. Jamison Russel in 2413, was a four-story structure that housed single males who attended the 20th-Century educational complex nearby. The first archaeologists, on the basis of their discoveries of small concrete rooms and references in numerous documents, theorized that Sittner Hall might have been a minimum security penal installation. Its proximity to the educational complex indicates otherwise, however. The guide trudged inside the ruins through the ever-present dust and continued: Here in the foyer an inscription printed on the fioor was discovered early in the investigation. As near as can be deter- mined, the symbols are Greek: Omicron Pi Sigma. Although doubtless of little importance, the symbols indicate a certain preoccupation with the past. When the excavation was extended into the nearby rooms, the diggers discovered a mummy, wrapped from head to foot with red tape, clutching a rusted padlock on an ancient vending machine. Evidence found in documents indicates that the young men of that era who lived here were often as curious as the structure they lived in. Annually, they observed a ritual of slavery, although it is to their credit that they abolished this heathen ritual early in the 1970's. Nevertheless, they adhered to the baptism of newly engaged men and performed it only on wintry nights. Sociologists continue to debate this form of religious barbarism. The catacombs beneath us are still under excavation, and due to rats and other assorted vermin, tours are not safe at this time. In a large vault in the catacombs, known affectionately as 'the pit,' two more discoveries have been made. The remains of an ancient electronic communicator, better known as television, indicate the primitive culture of that era. This is substantiated by the hieroglyphics found on the wall of 'the pit.' The symbols read: 'Redskins, 7 - Dolphins, 14.' Thank you for your kind attention. Contribu- tions to further the investigation into this relic of ancient history would be greatly appreciated. The tour guide, returning to his office, dropped his hat on the desk, stared at his nameplate in the mirror: Mikal Osborne, Guide, and wondered how he had gotten stuck in such a nowhere place. 22
