Dana I appreciate your point about petitions, but I would ask as well how many of those Freshman and Sophomores who raised their voices in dismay were planning on coming? A majority of the Subbies signed perhaps with no intention of coming but with belief in the cause, just as a possible majority are voicing disbelief whether they planned to be there or not. I would say anyone who canceled because the Subbies were going to be there was not very dedicated to being there in the first place. For that matter, since you are a senior, isn't this a non-issue for you? Democracy in action, Dana. At Uni, Subbies have rights too.
