D’mwi/t in Under/and '
By Jim Lai
For those still having trouble understanding last week’s episode, here are two hints:
l)if you don’t understand it, try analyzing the story on a general or symbolic level.
2) If you still don’t understand it, just forget about it. It helps to have a sense of humor.
Now, to continue where we left off.
King Drudge Ieapt from his unbelievably tarnished throne, executed a triple somersault with a double twist, and landed on his wiry feet, all this without upsetting the battered pot (or crown) on his head.
Sly Dimwilt shook his head in disbelief. You would too, l bet.
“Why in Underland did you do that?” Sly asked.
“Why not Anyway, l’ve got a castle to show you. Come on!"
“Just one thing. Who named this place the Kingdom of Psycho-Derelicts?”
“I did. lt has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?”
"No," Sly said, sounding rather frustrated.
King Drudge apparently never heared Sly’s last comment. He hopped, skipped, and jumped down a corridor, his wiry body twisting into pretzel-like for- mations occasionally. Sly fol- lowed, although he merely walked. The smell of mothballs filled the air.
Upon entering a huge white chamber totally devoid of any
markings, King Drudge declared, “This is my art collection!"
“But there’s nothing here!” True enought, the place was so spotless that a bacterium would have died of starvation.
“That’s beside the point. Come on! I’ve got more to show you!” .
The King bounced off the walls and the ceiling as he made his way over to the next room, while Sly trudged after him. The acrid scent of mothballs filled the air.
“This is my collection of crowns!”
.“lt all looks like cookingware to me." True enough, this room, just as cavernous as the last, was filled from floor to ceiling with battered pots and pans.
“So it is! So it is!” sqeuaked the King with much enthusiasm. “Come on! There’s more to see!"
“i can’t wait,” Sly muttered under his breath.
King Drudge bounded over to a huge window. It was so huge that an elephant would have squeezed through with room enough left over for a Goodyear blimp.
“Look outside and behold!”
Reluctantly, Sly did. He saw a huge dam. Sly’s mouth fell wide open. The dam was at least as wide as his comprehension, which was rapidly increasing despite his mind’s workings.
“I see you are impressed,” King Druge commented. “That
dam holds back the River of Knowledge. We take only what we need, and save the rest for future use.”
Sly stared on in silence.
“The dam,” King Drudge continued, “is constructed solely of the same material as this castle — compressed lint and dust."
“That can’t be!” Sly ex-
claimed. “The dam can’thold for more than a few seconds!” “Really?” As‘King Druge uttered that fateful word, the dam imme- diately dissolved and broke.
“You fool!” the King spat. “Now look what you’ve done! How could you be so — ”
He was drowned out by the My beautiful crowns! C , , calamity!!” . thunderous roar of the onrushing water.'Both King Drudge and Sly Dimwilt were swept away in the Flood of Knowledge as the castle dissolved.
The last thing Sly heard King Drudge scream before fading away was: “My beautiful castle!
Sly found himself alone, aflr in the River of Knowledge. All could see was the sky, the wa‘ the wreckage, and the war stretching from horizon horizon. He fell- unconscio

FREDERICTON (CUP) ~— Universite de Moncton ad- ministrators who ordered police to quell a student occupatiOn on the campus in 1982 have had little opportu- nity to forget the incident.
A draft report by Canada’s nation-wide teachers’ as— sociation says the admini- strators’ tactics were exces- sive and violated the rights of the students who occupied the administration building from April 4m 13, 1982.
Organized by a student group protesting proposed tuition fee hikes, the occupa- tion attracted national media attention and culminated in an Easter morning raid by city and campus police.
The report, not yet of- ficially released by the Canadian Association of

University Teachers, accuses the administration of abusing the personal freedoms of students and teachers by censoring the student news- paper, enforcing a vague expulsion policy and harass- ing professors who were active in the faculty union.
The administration says it considers the 54 page report confidential and refuses to comment on its allegations until it receives the final version. .
Jim Hiller, head of CAUT’s inquiry committee, says the draft may be subject to some revision but he does not expect the final report to be dramatically different.
Another investigation by Moncton faculty at year ago produced a similar report slamming the administration
