Members say their months of strategic behind-the-scenes work leave them poised for the most active semester in the campaign's brief history.
Students say they plan to up the ante over the next several months with a series of creative, forceful actions, with the goal of winning a living wage by the summer.

"We're not a student group--we're a campaign and campaigns end," says Benjamin L. McKean '02, a member of PSLM. "We're going to do everything in our power to make sure it ends this semester."
Changing Focus
"We had to spend quite a bit of time last semester reevaluating our strategy given the administration's unwillingness [to raise wages]," Skomarovsky says. "The report showed us how out of touch with reality the administration really is."
Campaign members say that the administration's conclusions fail to get to the root of the problem.
