What have I missed here? I've tried, but I can't figure it out...What is the story???

I don't see it, either. Is she giving a speech? Will there be a debate? What's going to happen Monday?

Sounds like Dr. Sommers is going to one of the speakers at one of the debates conducted by the Yale Political Union. The good conservatives of the Party of the Right at the Union usually supply student debaters, and one or two outside celebrity speakers are brought in to take part. Then the members of the Union vote by leaving the hall, which of two exits they take shows how they are voting.
