...STRONGEST, MEANEST, hardest-looking queen I had ever seen loomed in the doorway. The restaurant came to a stop. Five foot 11 and 160 lbs. of muscle dressed in spike heeled black leather boots and a clinging black gown, she stood taking a deep drag on her extra long cigarette.

Everyone puts up his coolest front, wears his hippest clothes, drivers his meanest car. And they do it by the thousands, all along a one-mile stretch. The reason for the hubbub is simple; one Ohio State sophomore put it rather bluntly: "Hot nights, hot cars, hot women and cold beer." High aspirations, these...
