Liking What You See: A Documentary

Liking What You See: A Documentary by Ted Chiang "BEAUTY IS THE PROMISE OF HAPPINESS." — Stendhal Tamera Lyons, first-year student at Pembleton: I can't believe it. I visited the campus last year, and I didn't hear a word about this. Now I get here and it turns out people want to make calli a requirement. One of the things I was looking forward to about college was getting rid of this, you know, so I could be like everybody else. If I'd known there was even a chance I'd have to keep it, I probably would've picked another college. I feel like I've been scammed. I turn eighteen next week, and I'm getting my calli turned off that day. If they vote to make it a requirement, I don't know what I'll do; maybe I'll transfer, I don't know. Right now I feel like going up to people and telling them, "Vote no." There's probably some campaign I can work for. Maria deSouza, third-year student, President of the Students for Equality
