Vegr a division of faulkner radio inc. now on I
cartoon. We took the shortest
route. Down by the Education
Center over the dirt road behind
the gym and we stopped at the
entrance to the street in front of
the Student Center to stake-out
the meter. I got out and went to
the truck, looked it over
carefully, making sure it had its
sticker on the correct side. The
meter was almost expired, my
partner called for a back-up
team as I began interrogating
innocent by-standers.
Me: Hey! You! Didn’t I book
you once on a parking violation
back a couple of quarters ago?
Them: Yes sir.
Me: Remember that. Now,
did you ever see this truck
before?
Them: Well maybe once or
twice?
Me: Be exact, once or twice?
Them: Okay. Gee man, 1
mean really you’re just a
student like me.
Me: Just answer the question,
Boy.
Them: Once. Okay?
Them: In front of the gym,
two days ago.
Me: I thought so, same make
as the one we’re looking for.
Who owns this vehicle?
Them: I don’t remember.
Me: You want to go over to
the office, and see if we can
shake your memory We might
even feed you food from the
student center.
Them: No! Not that! I’ll tell
you! His name is Joe Red, he
wears a T-shirt with cigarettes
in the sleeve, he drinks a lot of
beer and wine with his food now
that they passed that new law.
Wait! What are you doing?
Me: Giving you a ticket for
being parked 1.3 centimeters
over the line here. That’s a
violation of Traffic Code Section
0.369-443.
Them: Good grief.

and told my partner the whole
story. He told me that Joe Red

Dahl thought that it was in
teresting that Faulkner wrote
his best works after he married
his childhood sweetheart.
Commenting on one of his more
popular books, “The Sound and
the Fury.” Faulkner said "I
wrote my guts into it.”
According to Dahl, Faulkner
was not a methodicial writer. In
fact, Faulker once said that he
“did not like to write, but was
demon-driven to do so.”
Dahl said that Faulkner wrote
in a very distinctive and poetic
style, and that he was a writer

the red flag came up, I looked at
my partner and he at me. (Our
heads shook simultaneously.)
We got out of the car and walked
down to the truck.
3:20 p.m.
My partner and I began filling
out the ticket. Joe Red came out
in anew T-shirt smoking a fresh
cigarette.
Red: What are you guys

Me: Too late Joe. We’ve got

Faulkner
who did not romanticize or
glorify his characters.
Tit his stories dealing with the
upper class, Faulkner gave the
impression that the higher class
was falling apart, morally and
spiritually, according to Dahl.
The assistant professor also
explained that Faulkner was
interested in the race problem
and did not have much of the
prejudice of his class. For his
day and time, Faulkner was a
liberal, who sometimes stirred
the anger of the racists in
Oxford.

On November 12 trial was
held in the Inferior Court of this
city for Joe Red. Red was tried
and canvicted of possession of
an out-state truck and assault
and battery with his tongue. He
was sentenced to pay a traffic
fine of five and no more than
ten dollars.

mer of 1974, Dahl interviewed
some people who were
acquainted with Faulkner. One
person Dahl met was an old
black man who had often
poured the writer’s whiskey.
This man worked for Faulkner
until the novelist died. While
talking to the man, Dahl found
that the bar tender was a
reformed alcoholic and had
According to Dahl, Faulkner
had respect for the black man
and gave us some of the most
moving tributes to them in our
literature. Faulkner was en
dowed with a keen genius for
understanding people and was
able to depict them in his books.
Faulkner, Dahl explained, was
a moralist with strong opinions
and an idealist who believed
man could improve himself.
Many of Faulkner’s books
have been made into movies.
One of the more recent ones was
“The Rievers.” Dahl said that
one of his books, “Intruder in
the Dust,” was made into a
movie, using Oxford, as the
setting. He said that he would
like to see the movie shown
here.
Dahl summed up Faulkner’s
ideas on writing by using one
of the writer’s qeotatians; “Tbe
only thing worth writing about
is man in conflict wdfchinaeif.”
Dahl said that Faulkner
believed that man was a divided
creature, who’s faults are
inevitable.
