Yes, the point of the lock-in was for everyone to have fun for a good cause.
Great. So the subbies are invited not by UFU, but by the Uni High administration, two days before said lock in.
Disregarding the fact that enough food has to be donated by local resturaunts, that logistically only two grades were supposed to be on one floor to prevent overcrowding, or that freshman vs. sophmore activites had already been planned, thus creating incredible amounts of stress for the lockin planners who thought that they were going to be faced with an extra 60 kids, that was still a horrible idea.
Sure, if I was a subbie, I'd be annoyed. But not allowing subbies to go to a lock in is not a humanitarian crisis. The Invisible Children in Uganda are facing a humanitarian crisis. The point of this lockin was to have fun while raising money for these kids.
When some freshmen and sophmores decided not to come because of the subbies, UFU lost money. The freshmen and sophmores who were still going felt that they weren't going to have as much fun because some of their friends were no longer attending, and they felt that the subbies being there was going to make the event less fun.The whole purpose of the lockin was challenged just so 10 subbies could go.
I think that our school should be less concerned about how many subbies wrote their names on a piece of paper and focus more on what these events are supposed to be about.
