Although Fineberg did not answer the door, the students folded a large, soggy, pink oak-tag heart and stuck it halfway through the mail slot.
Discouraged by the unpleasant weather and empty houses, the students decided to split up--only one small group went to Rudenstine's house, while another group went to see if any administrators were spending Valentine's Day at Mass Hall.
At Mass. Hall, the students were marginally more successful.

Elfenbein gave her the last, rain-soaked card reading "Living Wage =Loving Wage" to deliver to Rudenstine's office.
