...midst of our campus sit the final clubs, where women are welcome, if at all, only as sexual objects. On special occasions, females may enter as guests for the evening (only the Porcellian excludes all non-members, male and female alike). On balmy days when windows are open, I may even sneak a glimpse of the forbidden upstairs rooms...

Under the guise of a student who left his notebook in one of the classrooms, I make my way to the lecture hall at the end of the building and sit down to take in the panel discussion that is already in session. Ostensibly a debate about artists crossing over from the underground music scene to the realm of record labels and music videos, it seems to have degenerated into a shouting contest--a competition of who can declare their world-view the most self...
