The following is a press-release, from the staff at Bryce Hospital for the Mentally Confused, and the staff at Charles L. Seebeck Computer Center for the University of Alabama:

Mr. Joel Walker was admitted this afternoon, after being cornered in a pecan tree, just back of the Math, Psychology, and Computer Center Building on the campus of the University of Alabama. He was knocked out of the tree by a tranquilizer dart, but was semi-conscious as they wrapped him in the protective straight-jacket. He was muttering about "ass-key", which was unintelligible to most of the attendants. The on-site diagnosis was some sort of psycho-sexual reversion-repressive neurosis, possibly bordering on schizophrenia, with complications of delusions of grandeur.

His position will be filled as quickly as possible, in order to preserve the stabilization of the budgetary outflux and local economy during the upcoming holiday season. He will, in all liklihood, be hardly missed.
