To toe or to tow the line?

["Denise Stephenson"<stephend@gvsu.edu>]

     I just saw Michael Permberton's speech title for the MWCA, "Toe the 
     Party Line or Subvert from Within?" I found that my tutors unanimously 
     thought it should be Tow the line (like pull your own weight) while 
     faculty and other "older" types thought it should be Toe the line 
     (like everybody get in line). What are other thoughts on this 
     interesting linguistic twist?
