| Abstract | In this article, the author, dean of academic affairs at Augustana College in Illinois, reflects on an alumnus, English major David Allen, who has gained prominence in his field. A photo of the alumnus, wearing nothing but a cap, a pair of boots, and a strategically-placed guitar, appeared on the front page of a local newspaper, under a headline reading, "Augustana Grad Stars on TV as the Naked Trucker." David Allen, Augustana College Class of 1980, is both star and executive producer of "The Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show," a sitcom on Comedy Central. As dean of academic affairs at Augustana College, Abernathy has always been gratified to see the alumni go on to great achievements, and, for all of the questionable publicity likely to come Augustana's way as a result of the show, he takes solace that Allen's work has inspired critics to historical and literary metaphors. However, he still wonders how to translate the act--six-string cover-up and all--into a proud statement of achievement that he can pass along to the Augustana community or, failing that, into development support.
