I sympathize wholeheartedly with the members of the Living Wage Campaign described in your April 21 article ("Protest targets salaries"), and applaud them for holding President Sullivan's administration to account. I would, however, remind the student featured in the photograph accompanying the article that "privilige" is in fact spelled with an "e." Privileged as we all are to attend this University, we would do better to pay attention to these details. The spelling of a protest sign may seem unimportant, but it can make all the difference between being taken seriously and being dismissed out of hand.
