"I don't think we'll be planning a rally anytime soon," Karteron said. "We're just going to keep doing what we've been doing over the past year, trying to keep meeting with administrators to tell them the importance of this issue again and again."

CASV's demands include a 24-hour rape crisis center and a rape education program for first-year students.

Although the group joined the rally late in its planning stages, it received the bulk of the media attention surrounding the event. Most local news broadcasts omitted coverage of PSLM and the Living Wage Campaign.

"We jumped on [the other groups'] bandwagon but the coverage ended up coming to us, which is unfortunate because we believe in what they were trying to do also," Karteron said.

But other groups say they still benefited from the alliance. Even members of the Living Wage Campaign, who walked away from the protest empty-handed, said they were pleased with the other groups' success.

"I can't see any way in which a victory for one of these groups is not a victory for the others," said Justin B. Wood '98-'99, who is a member of the Living Wage Campaign.

"It shows when you're on the right side of things, the University may eventually listen," he added.
