Education Process Finished
For Semester At Columbia
By ANTHONY DE NIGRO
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK UP) — Two weeks
of campus crisis at Columbia
University eased Monday, but
almost two thirds of its schools
and departments abandoned for
mal classes for the rest of the
term.
The besieged university opened

its doors for the first time in 10
days, directing its faculty and
students to work out their own
ground rules. But the acting
dean held captive in his office for
almost 24 hours when the stu
dent protest started April 23 said
the normal education process was
finished for this school year.
REBEL students striving to
close the 25,000-student Ivy
League university altogether
mounted a boycott of classes
Monday morning. By noon,
about 300 manned token picket
lines before more than a dozen
buildings.
But after minor early morning
scuffling, the pickets merely
shouted and jeered at unsympa
thetic students and staff mem
bers striding through their lines.
The original aims of the stu
dent protesters appeared lost in
the brief history of their revolt.
Before city police stormed the
five buildings they occupied and
arrested 720 persons in the dead
of night last Tuesday, they al
ready had won a suspension of
construction of a university gym
nasium on a city park separating
Columbia from Negro Harlem.
THE SECOND goal, dissolu
tion of Columbia’s ties with a de
fense research project, has been
quietly shunted aside lately.
Now the students, backed up
by segments of the faculty, are
demanding a wider student and
faculty say in running the uni
versity. The administration has
said it will study this demand.
The movement to call off for
mal classes almost four weeks
before the official end of the
term May 29 was led by Colum
bia College, two centuries old
and largest of the university’s
units. Its faculty voted to take
that step Sunday.
THE PRESTIGIOUS School of
Journalism and the anthropology
department followed Monday
morning and then 12 more units
announced they would hold only
informal classes for the rest of
the semester.
Only nine units tried to hold
normal, every-day classes but
rebel leaders claimed support
from 5,000 students and that
their strike was 95 per cent ef
fective. The university admin
istration furnished no attendance
figures.
Acting Dean Henry Coleman,
the man locked in his office two
weeks ago, predicted flatly: “The
university will not be back to
normal this semester.”
IN THE VACUUM, a few pro
fessors scheduled classes in
their homes and other teachers
led so-called liberation classes set
up by the rebels in corners of the
campus. The rebels published a
list of 50 such classes in such
subjects as “avant-garde litera
ture,” “imperialism,” “corporate
liberalism” and “Columbia and
warfare state.”
Columbia College gave its stu
dents the alternative of taking
either a passing, failing or in
complete grade on the basis of
their work as of April 23. If they
were unsatisfied with any of
these, they were told to speak
with their professors and work
out individual solutions.
ADMINISTRATION officials,
who merely threw open the doors
and instructed the university’s
various units to fend for them
selves, gave no indication what
this meant for seniors or whether
commencement exercises would
be held.
The police department, mean
while, defended itself against
charges that it used undue force
in clearing the five occupied
buildings at 2 a.m. last Tuesday.
The department countered that
the demonstrators and sympa
thetic faculty members outside
waged large-scale violence on its
men.
“POLICE were punched, bitten
and kicked with many attempts
made to kick policemen in the
groin,” the report to Mayor John
V. Lindsay said. “A pattern was
seen in the use of females to bite
and kick the policemen.
“In some buildings, demonstra
tors hurled furniture, bottles and
miscellaneous objects at the po
lice.”
Mark Rudd, chairman of the
university’s chapter of Students
for a Democratic Society and
leader of the strike, called the
report “a bunch of lies”. He
said the police used plainclothes
detectives “to beat heads.”
McLeroy Elected
’68 Class Agent
Texas A&M’s graduating sen
iors elected Ron McLeroy of Dal
las class agent Monday at the
Association of Former Students’
induction banquet.
Gerald Moore of Arlington was
elected to assist McLeroy in class
of ’68 affairs with the association.
The class, which graduates in
three weeks, heard FSA Execu
tive Director Richard Weirus,
