At the end of the summer the course resumes but the professor does not show up. Enrollment is down. After a week of missed lectures the police are dispatched to the scholar's home. They find her absent and the house abandoned. Three starving cats are found in the house, plus two others dead.
Rumors eventually surface that the scholar is now in Amsterdam.
Trial legislation bans all consumption of meat. A former slaughterhouse is rechristened as a nonexplicit museum of pornography. Students hold a party in the scholar's remembrance at the museum, where numerous students are arrested for possession of pornography. A rumor circulates that the scholar appears in a German porn film. Despite the cheap availability of pornography, the video in question is never found.
