The other extended debate concerned allowing Faculty and Administration members to remain in the building. The question was raised by the presence of Arthur Smithies, Master of Kirkland House, who was observing the proceedings and speaking to students.

"Smithies said he came here to see what we were doing," one student said. "He said he's a Faculty member and this is a Faculty room. He said he didn't want to abolish ROTC, and is going around approaching people and asking them what they're doing here."

The student proposed that Smithies be "asked to leave politely," but the group voted against this proposal. "There are dangers to having Faculty here," another student said, "but there are dangers to excluding them. We may lose our strongest link with the outside."

Later it was decided to exclude from the building only non-Faculty administrators--Masters and senior tutors--who it was feared would take names for punishment.

Several committees were appointed at the meeting, including one in charge of mimeographing literature on the machines in the basement of University Hall, one in charge of supplying food, and one in charge of sanitation. Committees to handle security and the press were planned but not organized.

Early in the meeting several demonstrators asked that all present get rid of any drugs. At least one person was smoking marijuana at the time.

"This is not the time to liberate yourself," one student said. "We have a collective responsibility to everybody here--a bust could be dangerous. We're here to get rid of ROTC and stop Harvard from expanding."

King Collins opposed the motion. "I don't limit my demands to those of SDS," he said. "I am taking this building because no one tells me I don't."

The meeting voted to ask anyone who wanted to smoke to leave.

Dean Ford made his 4 p.m. statement to the demonstrators from the steps of Widener Library. Using a loud-speaker held by Dean Glimp, Ford said that he and everyone else in University Hall who was conducting University business had been ejected from the building at 12:30 p.m. "Dean Elder, Dean Glimp, and I were the last to leave at 12:45," Ford said. "When I asked someone who appeared to be a spokesman for the group what he wished to discuss he said 'nothing,'" he added.

Ford also read a list of four points which he said legal advisers had told him must be heard by all those inside University Hall:

* All gates to the Yard will be locked except the one on Quincy Street near the Freshman Union and the Yard will be closed until further notice. "We are aware that many here don't support those in University Hall but it seems best in order to prevent violence to close the Yard," Ford said.

* No effort will be made to induce bystanders to leave the Yard until they wish to do so.

* Freshmen who live in the Yard will have free access in and out of the Yard with proper identification.

* All those who refuse to leave University Hall wihtin the next fifteen minutes will be subject to charges of criminal trespass.
