The day after the takeover two emergency meetings were held in Lisner Auditorium. The faculty met first and overwhelmingly approved the administration ' s handling of the crisis. When their dosed meeting was over, the students poured in and had a spirited debate. The main piece of business at the one and a half hour faculty debate was the wording of a resolution regarding requests for police on campus. After rejecting a more negatively-phrased proposal, the faculty finally agreed on one which urged the University president to call upon civil authorities “only as a last resort.” The student debate began outside, as an emotional crowd gathered to attempt entry to the faculty meeting. Senior Bill Hobbs turned the gathering into an open forum after all attempts at entrance proved futile. Nick Greer, speaking outside, said that “We will no longer let the University or any other organization in society be engaged in research detrimental to the people of the world. Inside, freshman Jody Gorran stunned the crowd by announcing that he had been an FBI and Metropolitan Police Department spy within SDS for almost four months. Now, he said, he believed in what SDS was doing and could no longer work for the authorities, “I don ' t care what the police do to me,” he said. Gorran, a 19-year-old poll sci major, explained later that he offered his services to the FBI if they would “help him make some connections in Washington” that would further his planned career in government. Almost every CW figure in town came to the mass student meeting the day after Maury Hall. Standing are (left to right) David Nadler, non-student Robert Forenz, SDS Chairman Nick Greer.

by B. D, Colen About 100 students, led from an outdoor rally by SDS Chairman Nick Greer, walked into Rice Hall Tuesday to demand a dialogue with President Lloyd H. Elliott, No attempt was made to stop the students from entering the building, and they left the 8th floor Board room around 4:40, four hours after they first entered the room. The students had gone to the administration building at the urging of Greer, to ' ask questions” of Elliott, who was not in the building when the students arrived , Elliott was hurriedly summoned to the Board room by other administrators when the students announced that they would not leave without first speaking to the president. When Vice President for Student Affairs William P, Smith attempted to read the students a statement of Elliott ' s concerning the upcoming trials of the Sino-So vkt 15, a student explained to him that “our presence here is not to find out what is happening in specific trials,” ' Does anybody want to hear this statement?” Smith asked. He was answered with a resounding “No!” and gave up any further attempts to read the statement. President Elliott entered the room shortly after Vice President Smith spoke, and remained, attempting to answer student questions, for an hour and a half. The students were far from pleased by some of his answers. Why is military-connected research carried out on campus? “In 1941, the people. . Elliott said, attempting to explain that the government asked for the help of the University in the war effort. But he was cut short by a cry of “Not the people, the ruling class!” “How do you justify” Vice President Harold Bright ' s fall statement that the primary function of the University is research, asked Sarah Greer. She received no reply. Instead, Elliott announced that he will accept, “as soon as the report reaches [his] desk,” the recommendation of the Committee on Research that a “watchdog committee made up of students and faculty members. . .examine all present and future relationships” of the University in the research field. “We don ' t want another committee ’ he was told, “we want it off now!” “Is HumRRG going to have any relations with the Consortium (of Universities),” asked SDS member Bob Fine. “No,” replied Elliott, “not that I’m aware of.” “When will you be aware?” shot back Fine. “Are you aware of anything?” asked another student, “Why aren ' t there more black students in this university? Why do we have a new Student Center when we don’t have money for more blacks?” The school lives on tuition, replied Elliott. “Then why aren ' t we getting a better education?” No reply from BHiott, “We have J, Edgar Hoover on our Board of Trustees. We have David Kennedy on our Board of Trustees. And you’re telling me we can ' t get any money?” No reply from Elliott, “Why do we have to ask for more black students?” “We admitted 25 more black students last fall,” answered Elliott. “How many came from Great Neck?” No reply, “Why does it take something like this (a walk-in) to bring you out?” “I have never been inaccessible to students,” replied the president. “Why don ' t you report to us?” he was asked, “1 have never,” he said, “put the important job of communication with students on a you come to me— I ' ll come to you basis.” When students charged that he was ignoring student opinion on the question of establishing an all-student judiciary, Elliott replied that “Eve been enthusiastic in my support of a student court. . .for ten years at two universities. I have been unsuccessful in trying to persuade the students of this.” When the question of the SDS demands finally came up, the president said that he will “not recommend an end to the Sino-Soviet Institute.” Hatchet of May 8, 1969
