Living Wage Protestors Give Rudenstine a Valentine

Two students approached the door, while the others lined up in the driveway as Barry White's "For Your Love" played in the background.

When no one answered the door, McKean left a large pink card, reading "Love Your Workers" propped up by the door.

McKean said last night's action represents a new strategy for the living wage campaign--visiting administrators in their homes instead of their offices.

"We're not doing this because we want to disrupt the lives of their families," McKean said, "But by not giving a living wage, they're disrupting the lives of thousands of families. It's easy for them to forget that."

Molly E. McOwen '02 said she thought delivering cards to administrators at home might be a more powerful approach.

"This sort of action is more personal, and we see this as a personal responsibility and a personal failure on their part," McOwen said.

From Knowles's house, the small group trailed down the street to Zeckhouser's home.

Again, the students turned up the radio and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
