PSLM Protest Draws Heavy Media Attention

"They've ratcheted it up from University Hall to Mass. Hall to the Corporation," he said. "The students are going through the infrastructure of the University."

When McOwen criticized the Corporation for its "absolute secrecy," the crowd hissed.

The 150-strong crowd then marched across the Yard to Mass. Hall shouting, "Hey Harvard, here's the word, student voices must be heard!"

Dismayed to discover that the Corporation members were not actually inside Mass. Hall, organizers directed the crowd to Loeb House, where the Harvard Corporation was holding a luncheon.

"It looks like they're not here," PSLM Member Madeleine S. Elfenbein '04 told the crowd. "We're tired, but we're just going to have to keep hunting."

The group wound its way up Mass. Ave., earning curious looks from onlookers as they chanted, beat drums and waved the cutouts of Corporation members.

Three HUPD officers met the protestors when they arrived outside Loeb House.

Students held a large card asking both Summers and the Corporation to pledge to give workers a living wage.
