Personally, I believe the subbies have as much right to the lock-in as any other students and if many of them were convinced in the cause of allowing their fellow subfreshmen the option of attending, even if they themselves had no intention of participating, I have no issue. Along those lines, the freshmen and sophomores who initially refused to attend because of the attendance of the younger class not only forget that they were subbies a year or two ago themselves, but are completely missing the point of such activities besides fundraising: class bonding and school unity. My column is merely broaching the issue of petitions in general. A topic which was inspired by the power of the subbie petition. Their petition ultimately changed the protocol of the entire event. I used the Allerton example to direct my argument beyond the subfreshman class. The bottom line is that I felt this ample oppurtunity to express my opinion of petitions and how they should be used, not to critize any one class or their inclusion in school activities.
