The time has come to do away with this silly and manipulative ritual. The fact that students put up with the inconvenience of dropping everything to stand in their wing lounge is astounding. Every student is forced to rush from doing homework in the main building or a group meeting in a residence hall back to their hall. During basketball games, virtually the entire IMSA crowd disappears for check.
Most people never return.
The few students left cheering on the team either signed out of check or found an alternate way to be accounted for. The rest were not allowed the sim ple courtesy of signing out. Because many RCs differ on what you can and cannot sign out of check for, the inconvenience for students is only added to. Second semester seniors with senior privileges no longer must bear the strain caused by seven o'clock check. It is a pointless pilgrimage to one's hall.
