around 3:10 a.m , to tell them that if they did not leave the building within 15 minutes, the University would seek a ten day temporary restraining order. The building was emptied two minutes before the deadline. There had been rumors earlier in the evening, circulated by, among others, Dean of Men Paul Sherburne and Assistant Dean of Men David Speck, that the University had obtained, or was attempting to obtain, a restraining order, but the rumors were denied by Smith when he first addressed the occupiers around midnight. The restraining order was the same weapon used by the American University administration to end a building takeover at that school last month, A crowd of about 1000 students, mostly hostile to the occupiers, milled around the building until after midnight. The crowd was so hostile, in fact, that when Smith arrived for his first vis it, he found it necessary to have David Dolgen recruit a group of students to act as marshals to prevent people from attempting to enter the building with the intent of recapturing it. While those inside the building were “talking and playing mah-jongg,” according to SDS leader Nick Greer, Smith was meeting in Rice Hall with Assistant Vice President and Treasurer H. John Cantini, University Senate Executive Committee Chairman Reuben Wood, other administrators, and a group of students which included Henry Ziegler, Candy Erickson, David Dolgen, Mike Bienstock and others.

A group of dose to 40 GW SDS mem hers and non-students seized and occupied the Institute for Sino-Soviet Studies for about five hours last night and this morning. The demonstrators seized the building shortly after 10 p + m,, following a brief fight between demonstrators and anti- demonstrators during which one anti-demonstrator was seriously injured. Shortly after the fight and seizure, the demonstrators barricaded the windows and doors with desks, chairs, bookcases, and books. They also hung posters of Trotsky, Mao Tse-Tung and Che Guevara in the front windows of the building and flew a red flag out of the central windows. The occupiers claimed to have found the posters in one of the offices in the building. They also found copies of correspondence which has been called everything from “interesting” to “horrifying” by those who read it. The building occupiers demanded that the University get rid of the Sino-Soviet Institute, Navy Logistics, HumRRO, bar military recruiters from the campus, end its ties with schools offering ROTC, admit all blacks who apply, and grant amnesty to those involved in the occupation. The demonstrators 1 hope that they receive a “satisfactory response to these demands within a period of 24 hours” was dampened when Vice President for Student Affairs William P, Smith informed those occupying the Institute that he would oppose any move to grant them amnesty. Smith was addressing the demonstrators at that point.
