Last week's story about the protest of The Gap, Inc., by Los Altos High School students, inaccurately noted that students tried to stop shoppers from entering the Stanford Shopping Center store during a Nov. 26 demonstration. According to one student participating in the demonstration, that did not occur. "The last thing that we tried to do was to stop shoppers from entering the building," said student Olya Milenkava. "We were very careful to ensure that we were not blocking any enterances ... Our goal is to educate through peaceful and informative action."

In addtion, student activists have circulated a petition and collected approximately 700 signatures thus far, Milenkava said.
