Okay. 1) We did not cancel any subbie lock-in, so I'm not sure where that came from. 2) Everyone needs to read the actual news story (UFU's latest lock-in sparks controversy) actually know what you're talking about. A lot of you are making great arguments, but unfortunately, the majority of these comments are based on information that is just wrong. UFU had a Jr/Sr lockin, and it went well. So we decided we could have another one, logically for the Fr/Sophs. If that went well, we might try to have another one this year, for the subbies. If we couldn't manage to plan it, we figured it wouldn't be the end of the end of the world, because the subbies would have plenty of opportunities in the future as well. But UFU was then notified that the subbies were coming to this lockin. It was annoying that we had no say in it, and that it was very short notice, but it was NOTHING AGAINST THE SUBBIES PERSONALLY!! I like the subbies just fine!! We were scared that we'd have too many people. The lockin was supposed to be on one floor only, because you need chaperones everywhere at all times. But if a lot of subbies were coming, we thought we'd need to open up another floor, (and to do that, we would need a lot more chaperones, which are pretty hard to get, if you can imagine). So it was an annoying situation, but it had nothing whatsoever to do with anyone being a subbie or not. Then a bunch of freshmen and sophomores started to talk about how they wouldn't come because the subbies were coming. THAT was very annoying indeed. But we figured if people were going to be that immature and petty, then they weren't worth stressing out about anyways. But then at the last minute, lots of people signed up. We had a total of 85 people, approximately 25 from each class. The lockin was just fine. The subbies seemed a little scared of/uncomfortable around the freshmen and sophomores, but they still ( i think) had a nice time. the freshmen got to feel big and strong because the subbies were there , and the sophomores got to feel really cool because they were "in charge". But mostly, I thought everyone got along just fine. I made a couple of friends that were sophomores that I wouldn't normally get to talk to, and I got to spend time with some subbies and freshmen too. i really enjoyed it too. why? because they're cool. yes, there is a difference between someone who has experienced all of high school and is about to go off to college (me), and someone who is barely beginning their teenage years. if you try to pretend there isn't, you're not thinking hard enough, and you're not giving enough credit to all the many experiences you will learn from and struggle through throughout high school. *I* am very different than I was when I was a subbie, and can fairly say that I have developed QUITE a lot. But that does not mean being condescending towards subbies because they're "subbies," or freshmen because you're a senior, or a 13-year old because you're 15. No. But you GOTTA give everyone the respect they deserve, who are you to pretend you're too good to give other people respect? You're not too good, whatever you are, a "mature" subbie, a freshman, a senior, whatever. I'm not either, and i know it. Seriously, get over yourselves, at least a little bit!
