"It's not a disturbance that I'm not willing to put up with," Kulathungam said.
But according to Kurt L. Chauviere, a resident of Mass. Hall whose window overlooks the tent city and main area of protest, the noise is "unappreciated."
"There have been occasions when it's been too loud and we haven't been able to concentrate," said Chauviere, who is also a Crimson editor.
In a rally yesterday, PSLM did not activate its sound equipment, and featured speaker, Boston University historian Howard Zinn, addressed the crowd using a hand-held electronic bullhorn.
"It's a good sign that Harvard has turned off the power-it's a sign of their powerlessness," Zinn said.
PSLM continues to gather endorsements from sources outside Harvard, and yesterday Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) stopped by to talk to protesters and show his support.
