Arguing that the students who were to be affected by the change had not been represented on the Committee on House Life (COHL) when it debated the issue, Rampell drew up a petition that asked Lewis to reverse the decision.
"We definitely raised our voices at each other," he says. According to Rampell, Lewis wasn't in the least bit interested in the petition and called it "a worthless piece of paper."
And in spite of a concession by Lewis that he would look at the petition, Rampell says he stormed out of the meeting, signatures in hand.
Gusmorino says he wouldn't hesitate to bring another petition before the council to ask its support before going on to Lewis--provided that the petition is done more thoughtfully than last year.
