Frat Guys Disturbed by Female's Behavior By Jared Beck

Why doesn't this kind of news ever make the front page?

There are days when I find myself scanning through the news briefs at the sides of the newspaper's miscellaneous section, and most days the news deserves being hidden in these places. But this -- this is something truly worthy of front-page attention.

An unidentified, naked woman wandered into a fraternity house where she promptly began masturbating. It seems some interesting and freaky stuff is happening at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. Tuesday, April 3, an unidentified woman wandered into a fraternity house. The interesting part -- she was naked. The freaky part -- she promptly began masturbating.

The gall of this woman! How could she be so bold as to think that, just because of some stupid stereotype, all fraternity houses, and especially their members, are OK with sexuality -- and so OK with it that they would just allow her to have stripped down, sit down on their couch and, well, have at it?

Fraternity president Dan Nye said that all of his members were eating in the dining room when the situation began, presumably drawn to the scene by the noises.

When questioned, the woman said that her name was Melissa and that she was a student at Eastern Michigan University. They described her as being between 20 and 30 years old, and constantly asserted that she was "fine." At one point, according to the fraternity members' testimony, the woman was on her mobile phone. Was that a camera phone?

But here's the shocker: The fraternity members pleaded with the woman to leave, but she refused and continued her inappropriate actions -- for more than half an hour! Half an hour? What were the fraternity members doing for that half-hour? Reportedly, they called the police, and what took the cops half an hour to arrive on the scene? This isn't your run-of-the-mill college prank, this was extremely strange behavior, and how could any of these parties let the masturbation continue for half an hour?

Maybe they really were stereotypical frat guys. Maybe the police were stereotypical frat guys, too.

This is the very antithesis of the Duke lacrosse rape scandal: woman voluntarily stumbles into fraternity house, sits down, and begins to sexually please herself, keeping the men at bay. Nye said that the woman was under the influence of drugs, and "obviously, she was very distubred." Disturbed? I don't think he's begun to scratch the surface.
