Paul S. Grogan, Harvard's vice president for government, community and public affairs, heard the protesting carolers as he was passing through.
He seemed amused by the holiday cheer and said the students were not disruptive.
"They all stayed here in the foyer," Grogan said. "Everything seems to be in order. They didn't take any poinsettias, and they left cookies."
From Mass. Hall, HSAS members caroled through Harvard Yard and into University Attorney Allan A. Ryan Jr.'s office in the Holyoke Center. Ryan is the University's point person on labor negotiations.
They delivered another plateful of WRC-frosted cookies to an amused Al J. Sarina, part-time General Counsel employee.
He responded to the carols--titled "Away in a Sweatshop" and "God Rest Ye Weary Laborers"--with a smile.
"It was quite nice," Sarina said. "The music was nice."
Ryan was away from his office during HSAS's visit. He contacted HSAS member Benjamin L. McKean '02 later in a light-hearted e-mail message.
