Ford also said that there would be a meeting at 5 p.m. in Lowell Lecture Hall for all those who wish to discuss issues relating to the University Hall seizure.

After reading the statement Ford said that it did not mean that police will be called in, although he did not rule out that possibility. Dean Glimp added that the Administration is determined to get the demonstrators out of the building, but that no time limit for any forcible ejections had been made.

Several upperclassmen reported that their senior tutors had specifically instructed them to leave the Yard, even though Ford had stated that no one would be forced to leave.

After Ford's statement was given, the demonstrators voted 80-35 to offer non-violent resistance if police were called to clear the building. The atlernative motion was to keep the University Hall doors open, and offer no resistance to police.

Jared M. Israel '67 told the demonstrators, "We've all gotten a little super-panicked too quick. The likelihood is not that they will arrest us in ten minutes."

Michael S. Ansara '68 said, "You're in a very, very strong position, not a weak position."

Cambridge police reported that 150 police officers -- without dogs -- had assembled late this afternoon at the Fire Station on Quincy Street, across from Burr Hall.
