The problem is that sometimes that goes too far and it turns into "anyone active as a senior = loser." IMO you really need to ascertain that the person is going to be that swamped, not just that they want to save their senior year dues money to spend at the bar.
For example, in my major, a lot of our really tough classes could be taken junior year. If someone would have said "I have to go alum as a senior because it's sooooo hard" we would have known they were full of poo. A special ed/eled major who has to do multiple student teachings and can't do them till senior year, that's different.
